“Because for every matter there is a time and judgment,
Though the misery of man increases greatly.”
Ecclesiastes 8:6

“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you will no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms.” Isaiah 47:5

Babylonians and the Chaldeans were one in the same, like a state being the same as the nation it is within, as described in the post on Isaiah 47:1-4. “Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you will no more be called tender and delicate.” Isaiah 47:1 In other translations, the word “Chaldeans” is replaced with Babylon, for example, “Babylon, be silent!” or “You city of the Babylonians…” such as in the translations of Easy, GW, NIV. etc.

Being referred to as a lady was to describe the Babylonian Empire as being tender and delicate. Today, we see how the politicians and community leaders describe themselves and the culture they represent as being filled with tenderness and kindness. They promote building a gentler and kinder world by building up the dignity, respect, and esteem of each individual. The word of God calls this present world system “Babylon”, as seen through the whole book of Revelations, “And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Revelations 14:8 Click for some scripture references from Revelations about “Babylon”.

A governing system with all the tenderness of the stereotypical female qualities towards one another is far from honoring God through Jesus Christ, as our Lord Jesus says, “How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?” John 5:44

When the Lord God spoke those words thousands of years ago, He was looking straight into where we are at today, in a world that believes the global government is a “Lady of Kingdoms.” Today, women are propelled into places of power and authority. Here in the United States of America, anyone can see that women are in charge everywhere, from the local dollar store to the largest shopping centers, to community agencies, in government offices, in businesses big and small, and in power and authority on a national and global level.

The reasoning is that women are more peaceful by nature and will bring peace and security to the world. Men are believed to be more aggressive and physical by nature and to be the cause of so much conflict and war in the world. The creature human being is being served instead of God the Creator who brings peace through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Today’s culture are those who have “…exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:25 Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

The agenda of the United Nations is to propel women into places of power and authority in every city around the world, up to the global level. Here is a quote from the United Nations, “Towards these ends, we provide training for women political candidates to help build their capacities, and offer voter and civic education and sensitization campaigns on gender equality. We back gender equality advocates in calling on political parties, governments and others to do their part in empowering women. Click for a page on that from the UN. Instead of calling upon worldly powers, we are to call upon the name of Jesus Christ, “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13

The United Nations was formed in 1945, immediately after World War 2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8:1-14 and also Revelations 17. The beast governs from within people by giving them what to say, do, think, and feel. However, the power center of the beast will be plunged into darkness, as described in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11. As the Lord spoke, “Sit in silence, and go into darkness…For you will no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms.” This present world system promotes itself as being “tender”, but will be plunged into lawlessness, chaos, violence, social and economic ruin. The Battle of Armageddon comes in the Sixth Plague of Revelations 16:12-16. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9 and is instrumental in bringing ruin to the power center of the beast.

“I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy;
On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.” Isaiah 47:6

The Lord was angry with the Israelites when they rebelled against Him and so He gave them into the captivity of the Babylonians. Because of their sin, they were exiled from Jerusalem, the capital of the kingdom of Judah. They decided not to follow the word of the Lord, they ignored the Ten Commandments, the animal sacrifices to atone for sin meant nothing to them, and they served the gods of other nations. Today, the global population has been brought into captivity of the beast that gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. Because of sin they have chosen it and have become egocentric in the way they exalt themselves above belief in God. They feel no remorse and no need for the forgiveness of unbelief and for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. They oppose, ridicule, and manipulate the presence of the Holy Spirit as they detest the life of Holiness. Love in the world has gone cold with no empathy for others within their superficial charm.

When people see the Israelis of the State of Israel, the name of God is profaned. The people look in their direction and God is mocked as they ridicule the violence and chaos coming from them. The Israelis have been in 19 wars since the year they were recognized as a state in 1948, click for a list of those wars and scroll towards the middle of the page. The Lord has profaned His inheritance, and His inheritance is Israel. The Lord promised He would gather the Jewish people to Israel as the place where He unleashes His judgment on them, as described in Ezekiel 22:19-21.

Today, we can see how Israel has been given into the hands of the violent forces of this world, forces that are members of the United Nations, as Israel is also. We see how gradually the land of Israel is being swallowed up by foreigners. As seen on the image below, The West Bank has devoured a huge chunk of the State of Israel and Jerusalem itself is divided between East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem. West Jerusalem is in Israel while East Jerusalem within the West Bank. The Gaza Strip is in the southwest corner of Israel, along the Mediterranean Sea, and is also devouring a piece of Israel.

As we see, the Israelis are shown no mercy by the powers of darkness operating in this world. The majority of countries of the United Nations are hostile to Israel and are atheists. The Lord has given Israel over to them because of sin…because of the Jewish people’s rejection of the Christ, whose name is Jesus. Two of the three most powerful nations of the world are atheists, China and Russia, and their influence over the assembly of the United Nations is huge. Along with that, those of the global culture in cities around the world protests against the independence of Israel. The global leaders and the global culture are united in their purpose by the beast that gives them what to think and feel about Israel and what to say and do.

When the Israelites were in captivity to the Babylonians, they were treated very badly, including the elderly. They were preyed upon to be robbed and plundered; they were hidden in prison houses without due justice and helplessly entrapped in holes like wild animals. No one was there to deliver them from their persecution; no one cared about restoring them. “But this is a people robbed and plundered; All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!” Isaiah 42:22

The yoke was laid upon the elderly very heavily, the most vulnerable of the people of society. We are living in the days when people are not wanted as part of today’s culture, and in many ways are carrying a heavy yoke around the shoulders. A yoke of social disapproval, terrible things are said to us, there is physical intimation, our self-image is run down, and accomplishments are hollow if they exist at all. Christians in countries around the world are being imprisoned, killed, and persecuted in many ways.

Our Lord Jesus says to us, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’ I am coming soon Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.’” Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11

Jesus has come with grace, mercy, and forgiveness to lighten our burden not to add to it. He calls us to take His yoke and to learn from Him, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthe w5:11-12

Solomon saw oppression upon people that was so severe that that he thought they would have been better off dead than alive and not to have ever been born. “Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, but they have no comforter—On the side of their oppressors there is power, but they have no comforter. Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, more than the living who are still alive. Yet, better than both is he who has never existed, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

Jesus Christ came to give Himself on the Cross so that the Comforter and our Helper would come to us, if we love Him, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18

How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit? If we do not speak against Jesus and say that He is Lord then we have the Holy Spirit, “Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

“And you said, ‘I will be a lady forever,’ so that you did not take these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of them.'” Isaiah 47:7

The latter end of sin, oppression, and persecution is destruction on this earth and judgment beyond the grave. “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself will also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelations 14:9-11

Today’s world system does not remember the latter end of governments that have exerted control over the people while oppressing anyone who opposed the governing power. That is what the government of the beast does by exerting control over people by the power over physiology to impose upon us what to say, do, think, and feel. Even today, anyone who shuns the image of the beast are shunned by the culture of the beast, oppressed, afflicted, and persecuted in many ways. The beast gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak by speaking and living through people. Their latter end is coming. Their days of being a “lady” are short and not forever at all. Jesus Christ promises us a better end, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and will not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” John 5:24

“Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
