Lessons

The lesson on October 16, 2016 was part 38 of “The Apocalypse” study.  Babylon was studied to conclusion in that Babylon of Revelation 17, 18 and Jeremiah 50, 51 is the actual city vs. Jerusalem.  The scriptures that point to this conclusion are shared and studied so the conclusion is made, no matter how hard it is to believe.  Presently, Babylon is in ruins and only partially rebuilt and is no way an economic epicenter.  It would be much easier to believe that Jerusalem fills this prophecy but the scriptures studied in this lesson show that Jerusalem must exist for the prophecy related to Israel to be fulfilled.  Babylon is destroyed in an hour and will not exist after judgement comes upon it.  The scripture reading was from Zechariah 14:-16-21 KJV

“16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowl’s before the altar. 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.”
