The Seven Mountains
Posted by Pastor Steven Masone on October 28, 2010 at 9:00pm
Rev 17:18 speaks of "Mystery Babylon" sitting on "seven mountains". Since Martin Luther wrote that "Papal Rome" was "that woman", most anti-Catholic and "literalist' share this eschatological view as Rome is known to be the 'City of Seven Hills. '
A key to understanding that "mystery Babylon" is not just Rome, is found in John 4, The Samaritan woman at the Well comments that the "Samaritans are of Jacob, and worship on their "mountain."
Jesus says, "Ye know not what ye worship.!" And then says and commands..."God is a Spirit and they that worship him, must worship in Spirit and in Truth."
All false Religion, whether overtly pagan or counterfeit/Christian is of satanic origin, and was organized at Babel, under Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz...the first unholy trinity.
The tower of babel was the first "High Place" where demonic "principalities and powers" controlled the empire of man made government in opposition to God.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city.
(Erech, Accad, Calneh, Nineveh, Rehoboth,Calah, and Resen.)
Nimrod was king/god over the seven city-nations who worshiped Nimrod/Satan from their "High places of human sacrifice/prostitution etc..." that their satanic "arc-demons" were over. "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH PLACES, against the RULERS of the darkness of THIS WORLD." Eph 6:12
Not including Babel, "Babylon" the capital and highest place, we see Babylon sitting on"SEVEN" city/states that make up this dark kingdom. So the SEVEN MOUNTAINS represent all false religion including atheistic, agnostic or any "HIGH THING THAT EXALTETH IT"SELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD." II Cor 10:4-6
No longer on literal mountains and hills, we know it is the "CARNAL MIND" where our battle lies! If any thought or imagination is opposed to the word of God, "WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE WORSHIP!"
Also on the Samaritan Mountain, "Mt, Gerazim"...the Samaritans constructed a replica TEMPLE after the second Temple at Jerusalem. A Counterfeit TYPE of having all the trappings on the outside right, but still of "MYSTERY BABYLON!
The number "SEVEN represents "Divine Perfection" So we can see that the Symbolism of the "Whore" sitting on Seven Mountains, points to "perfect deception! And yes, it is of GOD!
II THESS 2 WARNS US THAT THE ANTI-CHRIST/MYSTERY BABYLON'S LIES WILL DECIEVE MANY, AS GOD WILL SEND A STRONG DELUSION TO THOSE WHO LOVED NOT THE TRUTH!
So while Catholic doctrinal errors and falsehood places Rome with her part in this, we cannot see "Only ROME" as our focus in identifying "MYSTERY BABYLON!"
If you or I cannot be counted among the sheep of Matthew 25, as those who fed the hungry, clothed the naked etc....Then we are not lovers and doers of the TRUTH!
Do not be decieved dear readers, your attendance at services is good, your tithe paying is also....but do not believe the lies from your CARNAL MIND...that you do not have to fulfill the "GREAT COMMISSION" as witnesses, teaching etc... and all that the Lord commands as to our "Calling!"
He will say to you..."I WAS HUNGERED AND YE FED ME NOT...IN PRISON AND YE VISITED ME NOT...ATHIRST AND YE GAVE NO WATER....NAKED AND YE CLOTHED ME NOT etc....
So Many Christians are deceived that the "ministry" takes care of these things and the "saints" tithes and prayers are all that is sufficient.
Repentance and prayer is our only way to have power to study and stay full of the HOLY GHOST and GO into all the world preaching this GOSPEL!
Note: When "Babylon is fallen!" The entire world system of the Anti-Christ and the "Apostate church are included in this event!
