Many who are waiting for the rapture are filled with anxiety as they see the beast system growing determinedly stronger and at the brink of exercising universal Antichrist power around the globe through world health controls, money manipulation, and a breakdown of national sovereignty and the governmental checks and balances that formerly held back the tide of corruption. Is there still hope for a rapture, and if so, for how long?
In the book of Revelation, God identifies the power that controls the beast system. The controlling power is not the beast itself but a woman who rides (or controls the reins of) the beast:
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:3)
In this article, we will identify this woman—Babylon the Great—and examine how she is already fallen according to the prophecy of chapter 18, which describes the exact economic situation that must play out before the rapture. It is a prophecy so clear that even a critic can be astounded at how it has fulfilled.
Are you thirsting for Christ’s kingdom of righteousness? Have you cut all ties with Babylon, as your Lord instructs? Have you looked up to the heavens and recognized the signs of the times? If this is your desire, then let your heart rejoice, because God’s eternal kingdom is at hand!
The first mention of Babylon’s fall—or for that matter, the first mention of Babylon at all—in the book of Revelation, is in the message of the second angel of Revelation 14:
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (Revelation 14:8)
It is already emphasized in this first mention that her fall is a twofold fall. The second fall is described in detail in Revelation 18, beginning with “another angel” (commonly known as the “fourth angel”) who repeats the message of the second angel with added detail:
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. (Revelation 18:1-3)
Babylon’s fall is connected to when “all nations have drunk,” when “all the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her.” The nations and kings are key players—as well as the merchants—which we will see again in the course of the chapter.
The Lord calls His people to come out of Babylon so as not to be partakers of her sins. There is something called “corporate sin” which simply means that every individual has a responsibility to address sin in their associations—whether it be family, church, or any other sphere—and to do all in their power to bring individuals on the right path. If one does not do this, they are guilty of condoning sins that might have been forsaken. If efforts are made and the sin is ultimately held onto by the offending party, then one has a moral responsibility to step away from such association as the final act of testimony against the sinful behavior. This can mean renouncing church membership or disassociating with former friends with a statement as to the reason. If one does not make such changes, they become guilty by association in the sight of God, and when God punishes the wicked, that punishment will also fall to those who stayed in association with the wicked when it was in their power to do something.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Revelation 18:4-5)
Furthermore, the Lord who calls His people out of Babylon also commands His people to pay her back—something that cannot be done without self-harm if they stay in Babylon:
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (Revelation 18:6-7)
Queen Elizabeth recently celebrated the 70th year of her reign, which we loosely connected with this prophecy of the fall of Babylon, but there is a bigger picture to consider. As we said, Queen Elizabeth is only a figure who represents Babylon in part because of her role as the monarch of the Commonwealth nations—which is significant in light of the fact that the “wealth” of Babylon is precisely what is destroyed in the course of Revelation 18. However, neither the queen nor the UK nor the Commonwealth is what “Babylon” refers to in the prophetic sense of the book of Revelation.
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)
In the prophetic symbolism, Babylon is defined as the “mother of harlots” or in other words the biggest spiritual whore of all time. Furthermore, the prophecy is clear about who has fornicated with her:
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (Revelation 17:1-2)
The biblical symbolism in these verses has been well understood since the Protestant Reformation. A woman in prophecy (like the woman in Revelation 12, for example) represents a church, as every New Testament Christian knows, even if they do not fully connect the dots:
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:23)
The fact that Christ is described in the role of a husband to the church tells us what the spiritual whoredom of Babylon means: the whore represents the church who has gone away from Christ and has sought her protection and support elsewhere. This is exactly what Revelation describes in verse 17:2 quoted above: the great whore has committed fornication with “the kings of the earth,” meaning that she is a church who gains her power, riches, influence, and protection from the State.
Unless someone has been living in a bubble in recent years, it is obvious how this scenario has played out on the world stage: as soon as Pope Benedict XVI retired and Pope Francis was elected, the world press was suddenly enamored by the “unprecedented” deeds of this new charismatic pope who promised to transform the old and unattractive Catholic Church into a beautiful and modern “woman” that the political powers could love.
And this is where the true sense of verse 7 of chapter 18 comes into view, where she is self-described as a queen and no widow, because the papacy was not always viewed so favorably. In medieval times, the Catholic Church had power even over kings and emperors, but it was not so long ago—only as far back as the year 1798—when Pope Pius VI was forced out of Rome, thus definitively ending the state power of the Catholic Church. She became a widow—no protection whatsoever—neither of God nor of man. It wasn’t until the Lateran Treaty of 1929 that the church regained state protection and power (with its sole territory being the 44 hectares of Vatican City State). Thus, the old whore won at least one customer.
But what happened in recent years is something else. With the fresh approach of Pope Francis, the church donned the makeup and mascara to lure the kings of the whole world into her trap, and thus she could boast again, “I am no widow.” She called all her daughters—the many formerly Protestant churches that never made a full break from her pernicious ways—and the mother whore used her daughters to lure the nations. Don’t you remember all the agreements he signed between the various churches and religions?[1]
What exactly was the allure she used to seduce the kings of the earth? Was it not statements like “Who am I to judge?” Was it not the wresting of scripture to accept LGBT lifestyles into the churches? This is what made friendship between the church and the world! But the yoke of her bondage increased further: the churches were obliged to tolerate the prick of the vaccination needle too, which the pontiff advocates avidly.[2] The absolute clearest picture of this prostitution of the churches can be seen in none other than the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which held its General Conference Session from June 6-11 after two years of delay due to COVID-19. This short clip speaks volumes:
One is filled with righteous indignation watching that video. The intervention and determination of the obviously annoyed church President Ted Wilson to influence the vote against bringing the vaccination issue to the agenda is strongly reminiscent of something biblical. Why does he fear “the people” of an ostensibly democratic church so much? Why was the leadership so determined to quell this discussion before it could take place—with Ted Wilson blatantly abusing his position to urge delegates to vote a certain way?
The only answer is… FEAR.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. (Matthew 27:20)
Why did the chief priests want to destroy Jesus?
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. (Luke 22:2)
The chief priests and scribes did not care a bit about the people—but they feared them. What they feared was that the multitudes would cause an uproar which would result in the Romans intervening and possibly taking away their liberty to administer the Jewish nation. Ted Wilson doesn’t care about the members of his church in the slightest—as you can clearly see in the clip above—but he absolutely did not want to have “an uprising of the people” in the high-profile GC Session because it would have drawn the attention of the modern-day “Romans” who allow the church to operate under the State’s protections as long as they demonstrably tolerate the LGBT agenda and promote the COVID-19 vaccine.[3] It is not a church protected by God but by man—it has prostituted itself to the State powers.[4]
Ellen G. White speaks clearly to those who can read:
God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” Where Christ is, even among the humble few, this is Christ’s church, for the presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church. Where two or three are present who love and obey the commandments of God, Jesus there presides, let it be in the desolate place of the earth, in the wilderness, in the city, [or] enclosed in prison walls. The glory of God has penetrated the prison walls, flooding with glorious beams of heavenly light the darkest dungeon. His saints may suffer, but their sufferings will, like the apostles’ of old, spread their faith and win souls to Christ and glorify His holy name. The bitterest opposition expressed by those who hate God’s great moral standard of righteousness should not and will not shake the steadfast soul who trusts fully in God. {17MR 81.4}
One can also say, “The church is not the GC,” which is neither humble nor few, nor does it have the pitying Jesus in its midst, who never turned away a multitude of suffering souls. What the Seventh-day Adventist Church has done is complete betrayal—betrayal of Jesus Christ and of all that the church historically stood for. Why? To keep peace with the kings of the earth!—just like the daughters of the mother harlot, like the illustrative story in the Bible of two harlot sisters.
And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. (Ezekiel 23:11)
And now we come to the topic of the fall of Babylon, the mother of harlots in the chapter of the “fourth angel”:
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. (Revelation 18:7-8)
The meaning of that “one day” will be revealed in a later section, but first we want you to see why Babylon is said to have fallen in “one hour” three times.
Revelation 18 gives a hint for understanding the three mentions of “one hour” in the distinction regarding who bewails Babylon’s fall in each of these cases. First, it is the “kings of the earth” who mourn of her “judgment”:
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Revelation 18:9-10)
Secondly, it is the “merchants” of the earth who mourn of her loss of “riches”:
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought… (From Revelation 18:11-17)
And lastly, it is the “sailors” of the earth who lament her “desolation”:
…And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. (From Revelation 18:17-19)
In each case, it is the people of the world who exclaim with amazement that in “one hour” these things have happened. When considering the meaning of the hour as a unit of time from their perspective, this could be no more than an expression of suddenness. However, because the Greek word used can also refer to a definite measure of time, and the prophecy was given by God for the benefit of understanding. we could consider a plethora of possibilities for what the hour might represent:
It could be a literal hour (but this would be unlikely)
It could be a prophetic hour (15 days)
For High Sabbath Adventists who have the advantage of various divine clocks, there are more options:
It could be an hour on the Orion judgment cycle (7 years)[5]
It could be an hour on the Mazzaroth clock (one month)[6]
It could be an hour on the Horologium clock (one year)[7]
One could even consider some other ways to figure an hour on the divine clocks, but the basic situation will always fall into one of two cases in light of the last two articles regarding destruction on June 22, 2022: either Babylon must fall very quickly (e.g., one literal hour before June 22) or else the fall must have already happened, because any other “hour” would be longer than the few days remaining till June 22.
A look at the recent headlines is enough to decide which of those cases is currently playing out:
June 10, 2022 – Consumer Prices Rose Rapidly in May
June 10, 2022 – Inflation rose 8.6% in May, highest since 1981
When prices go up, it means the value of the dollar—its buying power—has gone down. And if the dollar—as the world’s de facto reserve currency—goes down, it means Babylon is falling, not thriving. It means the World City is getting poorer, just as Revelation 18 describes.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: (Revelation 18:11)
Ironically, the one thing that isn’t falling is the Russian ruble. It seems the efforts of the West to sanction Russia have caused a high demand for rubles as Russian oligarchs scramble to rescue their wealth from confiscation. Perhaps this is part of how God is empowering Russia as an instrument of judgment.
The point is, Babylon is definitely falling as reflected in the world economy, just as Chapter 18 says, and the news is definitely talking about it right now. So, if her fall is now being lamented, when did the “hour” begin? The key is that her fall is a consequence of her fornication with the kings of the earth; the Bible says “Therefore” shall her plagues come in one day.[8] So to find the beginning of the hour of her fall on that “day”, we need to find out when Babylon, the Catholic Church (the great whore), committed fornication with the kings of the earth. All the world saw the answer:
September 25, 2015 – Pope addresses the UN, prays at 9/11 memorial
This is when the nations gave their power to the great harlot by letting her lead them. And what was the nature of their fornication? How did she live deliciously with them? Pope Francis urged his agenda of tolerance, migration, climate, and generally the common good over capitalism. In other words, rather than leaving the money in the hands of the people (capitalism) he urged that the money be put to the common good. How is that done in practice? It is done by inflating the money supply, which shifts a greater percentage of the total money supply into the hands of the printers, thus stealing the value from the pockets of the people and putting it into the hands of government—a redistribution of wealth exactly as the pope called for. Yes, the money printing was intentional—by order of the pope. And the nations did it. As the Bible uses strong language on this topic, so must we: Pope Francis violated you!
Now it becomes trivial to decipher the meaning of one hour. Just calculate how long it has been from 2015 when the pope “laid with” the kings of the earth until 2022 when the press started seriously lamenting the fall of the world economy: it has been seven years.
This is exactly “one hour” on the 24-hour, 168-year judgment cycle of the Orion clock. The Orion message could have saved the world if its warnings had been heeded.
If the hour is indeed meant as seven years, then suddenly it is possible to make another stark realization: looking back another seven years before 2015, one sees another world-changing, Babylon-shaking event: the financial crisis of 2008. This was when the big bank bailouts began.
The decline in overall economic activity was modest at first, but it steepened sharply in the fall of 2008 as stresses in financial markets reached their climax. From peak to trough, US gross domestic product fell by 4.3 percent, making this the deepest recession since World War II.[9]
Interestingly, the effects of the recession lasted even until 2015, particularly in terms of the employment rate. The pope’s appearance before the UNGA in 2015 was not an unrelated event; the 2008 recession was a convenient tool to promote his anti-capitalist views. (Considering that the crisis was caused by a relaxing of loan requirements and thus a proliferation of bad debt, one could even speculate that the crisis was caused on purpose.)
The bailouts of those years were already raising concerns about the governments’ abuse of money. It was for this reason that Bitcoin was invented in the aftermath of the 2008 recession as a form of money that cannot be inflated, and for which reason the following message was included in its Genesis Block:
The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks
Decrypt explains:
Because of the timing of its release, in addition to the hidden message contained in the genesis block, it is widely believed that Bitcoin was released to provide an alternative monetary system designed to resist the challenges faced by many traditional currencies—like inflation, counterfeiting, and corruption.
Today, markets—including crypto—are all crashing in response to the high inflation statistics and the strangling of investors by increasing interest rates in the US and Europe. These rough seas caused one crypto lender, Celsius, to halt withdrawals, further destabilizing the space. According to Decrypt, Celsius was taking deposited funds and lending them out at higher interest rates than promised to their customers in order to profit from the difference. In the end, greed is the final culprit that can ruin any company, and the only true hedge against it is living the principle of “Not your keys, not your coins.”
One might ask themselves why people aren’t just flocking to bitcoin amidst this inflationary scenario, since it has always been touted as a hedge against inflation. Like the Orion message in the spiritual sphere, bitcoin offered the world a way out of the totalitarian yoke that is coming over the whole world in the financial sphere through money control. By and large, mankind did not take the way out.
Regardless of the bitcoin price, however, the fact that bitcoin, which was created in response to the crash of 2008, is considered as a threat today among nations and financial leaders shows once more the progression of Babylon’s fall from 2008 to 2015 to 2022.
Could the third mention of an hour in Revelation 18 signify a third period of seven years that would mark a world-changing event that would fit the context of Babylon’s financial fall?
Counting back again, one comes to 2001: the year when the World Trade Center towers were burned down in New York. This was obviously both a financial event and a world-shaking event for a number of reasons. And it was not by accident that a particular headline about the pope’s speech at the UN was chosen because it included the note that he prayed at the 9/11 memorial site. That was not just the site of a terrorist attack but a planned sacrifice to the god of the new world order who went to visit there 14 years later.
Now we’ve found the three hours. The only question is how the Bible verses fit. One might just assume they follow the biblical order. First, the kings of the earth lament her “burning” in judgment.
Was there any nation on earth that didn’t see the smoke of her burning on 9/11?
But the collapse of the twin towers was also a pretext for war that would bring financial gain. Operation “Iraqi Freedom” could have been called Operation “Free Iraqi Oil.”
Oil was not the only goal of the Iraq War, but it was certainly the central one, as top U.S. military and political figures have attested to in the years following the invasion.[10]
So, by the time Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae got taken over by the US Treasury and Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy in 2008[11] and the subsequent bailout bazaar began, the kings of the earth were definitely bewailing the economic woes that had come within those seven years.
The next lamentation comes from the merchants because their merchandise is no longer being bought.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more…. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought… (From Revelation 18:11, 17)
This is exactly what had happened by 2015:
Retail sales fall again, end 2015 with whimper
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Sales at U.S. retailers fell slightly in December, as 2015 recorded the slowest pace of gains since 2009.[12]
From the recession of 2008 to the year of the pope’s UNGA address, commercial sales went to their lowest gains! Such were the lamentations of the merchants at the end of the second hour, just as the Bible says.
Last of all are the sailors (or saylors) who lament Babylon’s fall.
No one interested in Bitcoin who is living in the present can fail to know who the “Saylor” is, who was “made rich” along with his company and followers. The Bible uses symbolism that clearly portrays the icon of those who eagerly sell fiat money for cryptocurrency in the hopes of hedging against detrimental money-printing politics and inflation.
Michael Saylor’s finances are therefore also frequently scrutinized when the price of bitcoin falls because his borrowing against bitcoin could put him “under water” if the price drops too far. And, of course, it goes without saying that everyone with laser eyes mourns when the price of bitcoin goes down, since the laser eyes represent the goal of reaching a bitcoin unit price of $100,000.
The problem for everyone during the last two years has been that the redistribution of wealth is still ongoing. The coronavirus plandemic not only wiped out the financial resources of many people, but it also resulted in more redistribution of wealth and inflation of the dollar and other currencies. A word to the left behind: when you’re finally ready to “burn” the whore, there’s (still) one way to do it, even if it’s too late to save your soul: instead of mourning for the gold standard that was dropped in 1971, switch to the bitcoin standard. It’s in your power to do so!
The fall of the bitcoin price along with other cryptocurrencies does not mean the value of bitcoin has changed in its fundamental sense; it is still what it is: a secure, permissionless form of money which cannot be inflated—that is to say, the pope can’t redistribute it. If you held a bitcoin yesterday, it’s still there for you today, and that is its intrinsic value which will not go away—an intrinsic value that will only be appreciated more and more as the dollar bills continue to fly out of the money printer like the leaves of autumn on a windy day. More people just need to wise up—and stop relying on green toilet paper for anything other than “its intrinsic value.”
According to the Bible, when you see the various classes of “Saylors” of the crypto world weeping and wailing for the desolation of their investments, it is time to rejoice—and that time is now:
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. (Revelation 18:20)
The warnings have been sounded by the messengers of God against the greed and abominable deeds of Babylon that brought the world to the present terrible situation. The Lord would have His people to be wise, but content.
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. (1 Timothy 6:9-11 NASB)
Nevertheless, the world has not heeded the Lord’s warnings, even when the consequent plagues began to be poured out. They have continued to worship their inanimate gold and silver.
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries [Greek: “pharmakeia”], nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. (Revelation 9:21)
For the love of money, abortions[13] still continue throughout the US and the nominal Christian world, two thirds of the global population has succumbed to genetic, pharmaceutical potions of vaccination, the nations are still fornicating with the papal church and the deviant sexuality it promotes by example, and men are still gambling with the wealth of investors, stealing it to cover their losses, as illustrated by the dealings of Celsius. The full list of evils that have resulted from the greed of men in high positions, God only knows, but in this verse, they are summarized in brief, and it is for this cause that He is judging the world precisely where it hurts them most: their pocketbook.
The fall of Babylon in Revelation is thus described in financial terms, and now that we have a clear picture of the timeframes of “one hour” involved, let us return to the coming of her plagues in “one day” in Revelation 18. There are several things we can contrast in these verses in comparison to the three mentions of one hour, not the least of which is who utters the words with the timeframe:
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. (Revelation 18:4-8)
It is Jesus Christ who warns of the need to flee Babylon, saying, “My people” in this verse, and therefore it is the Lord who says that Babylon’s plagues come in one day. By contrast, it is the various kings, merchants, and sailors who lament her fall in three hours. Nevertheless, those hours were recorded in the prophetic word, and we were able to decipher them according to the duration of an hour on the Orion clock—a clock that depicted Jesus’ intercessory ministry for His people.
If Jesus speaks directly about a day, then it must also be a day from His perspective, which is to say, a day as measured on one of His clocks. If it is to be understood as a day on the Orion clock, then we would be dealing with 168 years, which is somewhat out of range from our perspective, since Babylon has not been plagued for that long. However, if we consider one day on the Horologium clock—which also represents Jesus, but in His kingly role when He pours out the judgment of plagues—we come to something interesting. The way the pendulum clock face indicates one year for each hour was explained in the first article of the series The Bridegroom Cometh, entitled The Rod of Iron—one day consists of twelve hours.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. (John 11:9)
Twelve hours of the day on a clock where each hour represents one year, results in twelve years: the time from the publication of the Orion presentation in 2010 until the present year, 2022. The message went forth from the Lord who stands in Orion, and He called His people to come out of Babylon so they would neither partake of her sins nor receive of her plagues which were to come in this “one day.” Now that day is over.
But this calculation has another facet: Biblically speaking, a full day begins first with the evening (night), which also consists of twelve hours, and then the morning (day). If we include the night in the “one day” of Babylon’s judgment, one comes to the year 1998 as the very beginning of the “24-hour day.” It was in early spring of 1999[14] that John Scotram, the instrument God would use to share the Orion message with the world, made his personal pact with God after 1998 had passed as the darkest year of his life when he reached rock bottom—having lost his company and all human and financial support.
The Lord sees every individual who comes under attack, and the Orion message represents His ability to reach down and lift up the broken soul, fallen under Babylon’s iron yoke of bondage. God is avenging His messengers on Babylon, as is stated at the conclusion of the three hours:
Thus, the “one day” of Babylon’s judgment began first (in 1998) and encompasses the entire 21 years of the three Orion-hours of Babylon’s fall (from 2001 to 2022), as one could expect from the biblical setting, where the day is mentioned first.
Revelation 18 has almost completely fulfilled. We’ve seen the smoke of her burning—as have the many others who “stood afar off” as they lamented her financial catastrophes from 2001-2008, 2008-2015, and 2015-2022. But following the lamentations of these hours and the command to rejoice about it, comes the message of the angel with the millstone:
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. (Revelation 18:21)
Like a millstone cast into the sea by faith, the eruption of Hunga Tonga caused an explosion with qualities that the inhabitants of the earth never before witnessed in recorded history.
However, there is a deeper meaning to the millstone. The text refers to a stone that is “like” a millstone, suggesting a comparison to the characteristics of a millstone. For example, millstones are referenced for a characteristic color:
Millstone is a creamy, neutral color with yellow undertones perfect for your home accessories or cabinetry. (Reported by Google)
Could “yellow” undertones be suggestive of some kind of “yellow stone” that this prophecy refers to in connection with Babylon’s violent fall? It just so happens that as of this writing, the press is full of stories about Yellowstone National Park:
Unprecedented flooding conditions force Yellowstone National Park to close all entrances and leave locals trapped
Many millstones—particularly Roman ones—were even made from igneous rock, which is to say, rock that was formed from volcanic lava.[15] This seems to double down on the idea that God deliberately chose symbolism that points to the “violence” of a volcanic eruption of Yellowstone National Park as the most fitting description of Babylon’s fall and utter annihilation—“it shall be found no more at all”. The eruption of Hunga Tonga taught the world that when water is combined with an erupting volcano, the result is extreme “violence”—imagine combining that kind of violence with a super volcano that is normally not inundated with water! This suggests a scenario much worse than anticipated.[16]
Biblically, burning sulfur, or brimstone, for which Yellowstone is named, represents eternal damnation, which God warned was the consequence of being hurt by the genetically manipulating vaccination fangs, which the world was deceived into welcoming. (Did Jesus not say, “Take heed that ye be not deceived”[17] by false saviors?) How fitting, then, would it be, for God to avenge such malignant deceit using the same symbols: fire and yellow brimstone?
The reference to a stone “like” a millstone in this context of Babylon’s fall also calls to mind the prophecy given to Nebuchadnezzar in a dream:
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Daniel 2:34-35)
In this dream, very similar language is used to describe the fact that Babylon will disappear completely—“no place was found for them.” Rather, the eternal kingdom of God will be established in its place, for which the righteous may whole-heartedly rejoice, despite any present discomfort! Let the seventh trumpet sound!
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 11:15)
The eruption of Hunga Tonga spurred intensive Bible study over the past six months, resulting in the discovery of the ark of the covenant in heaven, which is the foundation of Christ’s kingdom:
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:19)
That final scene of the seventh trumpet is concurrent with the closing verses of Revelation 18:
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee… (From Revelation 18:22-23)
That ominous forecast indicates that no good thing will remain in Babylon. No divine mystery solvers (harpers), no praises to God (from musicians and pipers[18]), no warnings from God (from trumpeters), no craftsmen building for God (like the makers of the ark of the covenant), no good grain being refined (the sound of a millstone), no faithful churches (the light of a candle[19]), no testimony of the Spirit of Jesus (the Bridegroom), nor His bride—all that is good and noble and worth hoping for and looking forward to will be no more within earshot of Babylon. In a nutshell, it means the rapture has probably happened.
As shown in the foregoing sections, we are presently between verse 21 and 22 in the flow of Revelation 18—possibly on the verge of the rapture—and the dividing line between those verses seems to be aligning to June 21 and 22, according to how the potential rapture has been explained in the previous two articles.
When we published our notice about June 22, we did not recognize how “symbolic” this date was to the world. It was the Lord who had guided us to understand the times, three and a half weeks in advance; we did not know what RT apparently did know, at least by the time they published the following headline at the end of our second week of warning:
Ukraine to get heavy German arms on symbolic date
Kiev will get heavy arms from Germany on the day when the Nazis attacked the USSR, according to Ukrainian Ambassador Andrey Melnyk[20]
Could it be that the symbolism of the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano is only a figure for what will befall Babylon by man’s own invention? Or will God preempt the works of man using His own means? It hardly matters. The message is clear either way as the effects would be similar, and God gives ample warning on all fronts. Nobody has an excuse.
Whether Yellowstone blows or nukes fly, either way the second beast of Revelation 13 will be the epicenter of the devastation. Then there will be no doubt that God has punished the United States of America (with dire consequences for the whole world) for its fornication with the first beast,[21] following its not-so-secret LGBT and vaccination agenda.
In any case, the cessation of the “millstone”, if it also refers to Yellowstone, gives another layer of meaning to verses 22-23:
Not only has Yellowstone closed its gates due to the flooding for an unknown period of time, but the whole park would also be non-existent after an eruption. Such an eruption (watch a simulation) would also spread so much ash that the land would be left in thick darkness, so that not even a candle would provide light, as it was in Egypt.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. (Exodus 10:21-23)
The light in the dwellings of the children of Israel would thus symbolize the light of the hope of Christ’s coming that will pierce the thick darkness. Thus, the symbols starting with the millstone, including the darkness, and finally the coming of Jesus as the Bridegroom, all tell of the last chain of events leading up to the rapture, when the bride will also be taken.
Turning to the heavens, the Lord gives us an indication of where we’re at in time by showing us the sounding of the trumpet by Venus:
The sound (Venus), which quietly entered the trumpet as the breath of the trumpeter on May 4, loudly exits the trumpet horn on June 17 and thus signals a number of things which we will present in the next article. The way this trumpet sign was formed by comet PanSTARRS and how it is blown by various celestial bodies has been developed in the course of our Final Observations, particularly in Crossing Over and Blowing the Trumpet.
Just from consideration of the date of this trumpet on June 17, one could guess that it signifies the beginning of the catastrophe symbolized by the violent millstone, and thus the beginning of the three days of darkness until the first light of Christ’s return is seen. Only the Israelites had light in their dwelling; the darkness of a super volcano eruption or the heavy, radioactive clouds of a nuclear war would last much longer than three days, but there is promised one clear place of settled glory for the saints.
It was at midnight that God chose to deliver His people. As the wicked were mocking around them, suddenly the sun appeared, shining in his strength, and the moon stood still. The wicked looked upon the scene with amazement, while the saints beheld with solemn joy the tokens of their deliverance. Signs and wonders followed in quick succession. Everything seemed turned out of its natural course. The streams ceased to flow. Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. But there was one clear place of settled glory, whence came the voice of God like many waters, shaking the heavens and the earth. There was a mighty earthquake. The graves were opened, and those who had died in faith under the third angel’s message, keeping the Sabbath, came forth from their dusty beds, glorified, to hear the covenant of peace that God was to make with those who had kept His law. {EW 285.1}
By the time you read this, you will know for yourself what the days will have brought. Hold on tight to the hand of the Lord and don’t let go. But perhaps the most important significance of this trumpet sound is a spiritual one: it signals the finishing of the mystery of God.
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7)
This has deep significance and says, among other things, that the voice of God like many waters has been understood. It signifies that the prophecies have been deciphered correctly and the time of Christ’s return has been announced. This is what the voice of God from Orion has always represented; this is what Ellen G. White refers to in the quote above.
The second coming rapture amidst the great catastrophe makes it clear why chapter 19 begins with the saints rejoicing in heaven, having already witnessed the smoke of Babylon’s burning.
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. (Revelation 19:1-3)
The eternal nature of Babylon’s judgments is emphasized by Revelation. There is no second chance; there is no more mercy for the deviant. The calls to repentance are silenced forever and the Spirit of God, through whom repentance is possible, is withdrawn.
Finally, Revelation 18 gives the reason for why God takes away His people from this world:
…for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (From Revelation 18:23)
This word “sorceries” is better recognized today from the Greek:
pharmakeia
From G5332; medication (“pharmacy”), that is, (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery, witchcraft.
It is the pharmaceutical industry that has been commandeered by the “merchants and great men” like Bill Gates to violate the very code of life that God put in the human body. This is a crime so great that God ends the world because of it. And yet, how many church leaders don’t even give it a second thought, but even promote it! CURSED BE THEY![22]
When the smoke rises, the faithful will know—like Abraham—that not even “ten” righteous were found. All Abraham’s bargaining was in vain!—but his intercession was NOT in vain, because God had compassion on Lot for Abraham’s sake and delivered him from the overthrow.
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. (Genesis 19:28-29)
May those represented by “Lot” today also be saved in the overthrow, when God takes His people to Him as a brand plucked from the fire. As for those who are left behind, having never repented of stubbornly embracing the whore against all sanity, there is only one suicidal course: that of blinded Samson.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. (Judges 16:30)
This article presented the unmistakable evidence of Babylon’s fall—evidence so clear regarding the three, seven-year periods punctuated by the biggest financial and societal shifts of our time, that even a skeptic would not be able to deny the significance of those events: 9/11 of 2001, the Great Recession of 2008, the pope on US soil shortly after the national sodomy law was mandated, addressing the joint houses of the US Congress and all nations of the world in 2015, and the turn of events now in 2022 that speaks for itself. These are waymarks that perfectly fulfill the description of Babylon’s fall in Revelation 18.
At the time this article will have been published, the third week of our prominent website notices (below) will also have ended, and our last notice for the final week that is to be cut short will be posted. The entire four-week notice in cumulative form has been the following:
Through the Ark of the Covenant in heaven, it has been revealed that on June 22, 2022, the unmixed wrath of God will fall upon the earth. Certain things will happen that will shorten the month of June. As the events of this week unfold, may all of God’s people be in prayer to stay worthy and not lose the crown of eternal life. Ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance for the publishing team for the preparation of an article that will explain why and how this conclusion was reached. With this announcement, we shout in victory for the crumbling of Babylon’s walls and give thanks for how the Lord is leading us each day.
As the events of this week unfold, let each pray for protection. Pray that God will strengthen His people with a foretaste of the eternal reward in this decisive time as the pendulum of time swings toward destruction. We have been told to prepare our hearts. Some who do not survive certain events will have prepared. Most will not have prepared. Pray that you will be among the faithful.
As the events of this week unfold, pray that the critics of God’s messages of truth will be silenced and their influence rendered powerless. Pray that God’s people will see that Babylon is fallen and be strengthened in this time before destruction is commanded.
May God be with each of you this week. Hold on to the hand of Jesus and pray in His name. If we are faithful, we have been told that God will be with us in all our trials. If needed, ask for God’s angels to help. Stay strong and pray unceasingly as the events of this week unfold.
Let us mold our characters to be like Jesus, so that no matter what happens, we are prepared each day for His return.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. (2 Peter 3:10-11)
