A Glimpse Into the Medical Part of the Babylon of Prophecy



Revelation 17: 3-11 is about false religion, all varieties of false religion, and especially the apostate religion of physical Israel, and apostate Christianity. False religion is seen in the metaphor of a woman who sits on a scarlet coloured beast, with a cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication, is called MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH, and she is drunken with the blood of the saints. Fornication is metaphoric also, meaning that spiritually she is not loyal to Christ and his Gospel.



Then, Revelation 18 appears to be about economic Babylon, but the message in this chapter is broader

than a focus upon the merchants, from the Greek word emporos, meaning world traders. Verse 4 warns "...Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." While this can be taken as a warning to come out of all things meant by Babylon in prophecy, its more important call is spiritual, to come out of false religion, out of the church after the falling away from sound doctrine (II Thessalonians 2: 3-4).



Merchants, from emporos, is used in verses 3, 11, 15 and 23.



"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." 3



"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,

10. 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.

11.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,

13. 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."



Note that the Babylon of prophecy deals not only in goods but also in the souls of men, and the false religion of Babylon especially deals with the souls of men. The Babylon of prophecy is also found in Jeremiah 50 and 51. For example Jeremiah 51: 6 says "Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence."



Not only is God going to judge false religion as Babylon, but he is to judge the entire world system of which false religion, including Christianity under leaders leaning to man's own understanding, is a part.



�The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing.� 15



Revelation 18: 23 says "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: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."



"For thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."



Sorceries is from the Greek φαρμακεια, or pharmakeia, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance number 5331, is said to mean "medication, �pharmacy,� magic, literally or figuratively - sorcery, witchcraft.�



So sorceries in Revelation 18: 23 can mean both that the merchants as world traders of Babylon drug the nations with their medications, but also in a broader sense, Babylon and her merchants, the giant international corporations, deceive the world by their more figurative �magic� or withcraft, the allure and bait of these merchants to appeal to the flesh of men. Remember I John 2: 16, �For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.�



The giant international pharmceutical corporations, many of whom are headquarted in America, and the medical profession, are also the world traders, the εμποροι, or emporoi.



On http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Health_and_Healing/message/69172



the authors of this article, Has Drug-Driven Medicine

Become A Form of Human Sacrifice?, tell us:

"Given this unseemly state of affairs, some believe we are on

the precipice of a medical end-of-times or �Pharmageddon," if you will,

where medicine is no longer directly associated in any way with

healing, but rather is a form of mass control and a highly organized

means of simultaneously defrauding the public of its wealth and

health."



"After all, is there any greater absurdity than a medical model that

treats the symptoms of disease with sub-lethal dosages of toxic

chemicals and in which there is no attempt to uncover, understand or

remove the causes of those imbalances?"



Here they cite part of Revelation 18: 23, "...for thy merchants were

the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations

deceived."



They are interpreting this part of Revelation 18: 23 to mean that the

drug companies and doctors as the merchants (emporoi, the world

traders, or international merchants) are deceiving the nations (the

peoples the world) by their pharmakeia, or drug sorcery. As a part

of the Babylon of prophecy the drug

companies and the medical establishment are deceiving the nations by using drugs.

The medicine men and drug companies claim thir drugs heal people, but in

reality many of the toxic chemicals they sell at enormous prices are harmful

to the human body.



When the ruling elite of the world and of America

use the giant drug companies and the medical profession as controlling

agents, dumbing down agents and population control agents, then we

have �Pharmageddon.� Obama Care moves in that direction.



And this site goes on to say that "The sole reliance on

Pharmaceuticals reveals quite a lot about the agenda underpinning

modern medical practice. The Greek word Pharmakon has the following

meanings: poison, potion, charm, spell, enchantment." But the origin

of the word goes back much farther:



A Pharmakas in Ancient Greek religion was a kind of human

scapegoat (a slave, a cripple or a criminal) who was chosen and

expelled from the community at times of disaster (famine, invasion or

plague) or at times of calendrical crisis, when purification was

needed. [Source: Wikipedia]�



�The sacrificial dimension of the Pharmakas carries on in the nostrums

and potions later named after this ritualistic object:�



�The term "pharmakos" later became the term "pharmakeus" which

refers to "a drug, spell-giving potion, druggist, poisoner, by

extension a magician or a sorcerer." A variation of this term is

"pharmakon" a complex term meaning sacrament, remedy, poison,

talisman, cosmetic, perfume or intoxicant. From this, the modern term

"pharmacology" emerged.

[Source: Wikipedia]�



"One no longer has to look to religion for the absolutist claim to

truth. Medical science has laid claim to the body in the same way that

religions once laid claim to the soul. The physician today -- albeit a

glorified "applied pharmacologist" -- has become the "priest of the

body," capable of influencing the course of life or death by the

quality, or combinations, of nostrums (s)he is able to apply to the

problem (i.e. patient) at hand."



And - there is a connection of the giant pharmaceutical corporations back to the Nazis.



Revelation 6: 5 says "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard

the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse;

and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand."



The Black Horse is the same beast as the leopard in Daniel 7: 6,

"After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon

the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads;

and dominion was given to it."



This beast is Nazi Germany, plus the post-World War II influences that

came from the Nazi movement, especially in the U.S. as we assimilated

many Nazi intelligence operatives and scientists after 1945. Credit is due to

Bill Johnson of the Watchmen Weekly group for this view of Nazi Germany

and its manifestations. This is not the more famous Bill Johnson.



In the Nazi regime there was a large conglomerate of corporations -

the Internationale Geshellshaft Farbenindustrie, or I.G. Farben, run by

the Swiss banker Herman Schmitz. Drug, or pharmaceutical corporations,

were an important part of I.G. Farben, including the Bayer Company,

Merck, and Hoechst.



A branch of the German parent company of Merck was established in the

United States. In 1891, George Merck, grandson of the German Emanuel

Merck, took over the Merck New York office and established

Merck & Company. In about 1902 the American Merck Company made and

sold chemicals including bismuths, iodides, and narcotics such as

morphine and cocaine. Then, later George W. Merck was in the

Roosevelt administration as Director of the War Research Service

during World War II. This was the George W. Merck

who was head of Merck and Company, a large American pharmaceutical

outfit. Merck remains one of the giant U.S. pharmaceutical

corporations, with its origins in Germany, where the parent company

was part of the Nazi business empire, a Black Horse manifestation. The

U.S. and international pharmaceutical industry has roots in the Black

Horse Nazi movement.
