But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job 2:10
The popular or electoral college vote DOES NOT install a leader in America, it is God’s decision of who will be in the White House (state house, court house, etc.). From ancient times, He has punished nations for their rebellion by placing evil leaders over them. Historically, multitudes were murdered while still more were taken into slavery/captivity, ultimately bringing their destruction as a sovereign nation.
This has been true over the past several generations in the US, as we as a nation have slithered ever deeper into sin and rebellion against Him. Yet, this has been either utterly unnoticed or celebrated by the “huddled masses”, including dare I say it – many Christians.
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Hosea 4:1-3
As we as a nation and within the church, have gotten more and more tolerant of and chummy with Sin, only those with eyes to see and ears to hear even recognize that the US is under punishment for turning on God, like a pack of putrid smelling hyena’s.
Proverbially scratching their heads, asking “where’s God”?
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts: but I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate. Zechariah 7:11-14
From the reactions of Christians globally, they clearly believe that God is not in control… It would seem that many suppose that the “election” took God by surprise; that surely had He seen what was coming, He’d have stepped in to spare us from such turmoil! Do they secretly think that God is just now being roused from His slumber by the sound of increasingly desperate prayers, but by the time He realized what was happening, it was too late to fix things for “this go-round”?
Perhaps they think that He was busy doing something else out in the cosmos, while the “dog and pony show” (aka. election) performers were put in place; then fulfilled their assigned roles of providing entertainment to the masses. All of which is a production staged, that they would continue believing that it is actually they who determine the leader(s) of the nation.
Soon there will be a rewards ceremony, where the winner will receive his title, a pat on the head from his “handlers”, and be lavishly praised for a performance well executed. He will be installed in office by his earthly handlers, as he unwittingly fulfills his God appointed role in the destruction of Mystery Babylon.
The LESSER of two evils
The term “lesser of two evils” get’s bantered around a lot – yet, rather than refusing to vote for what they recognize as “perhaps problematic” (with few being willing to call it what it is), most Christians dutifully put their “personal endorsement” on evil in every election.
And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just. Romans 3:8
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:22
This has been the situation for generations, all the while God has been begging His people to rise up, open their mouths and stand against the expanding darkness. Tragically, as was true so many times of Israel, we strolled down the path like sheep towards the slaughter, neither noticing the encroaching darkness, or for those who saw it for what it is, CARING ENOUGH to do much more than complain “someone really should do something”…
Our collective sin brought us to the point of no return
Our words betray our hearts, when we proclaim that we believe in the sovereignty of God and His full control over the course of the nations, then out of our true heart discuss a faked vote count or another “tampering” with the election, when the outcome does not match our preference.
There is no person now walking the earth who has the ability to “Make America Great”. She is fallen due to her gross sins against God and against humanity. The problem began generations ago in the church house, when Christians began choosing to believe in a “shades of grey” (it’s all good), as opposed to the black and white doctrine. It spread throughout the nation like wildfire and is clearly manifested in leadership – be that of the nation, business or home.
Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. Isaiah 50:1-3
“Holier than thou” – not so!
I’ll go first, hereby publicly admitting my own gross personal sin (by commission or omission) in the matter, as I remain in a place of repentance before God. For example – ON MY WATCH and as I was too interested in other things to pay attention, in 2019 full term abortion was legalized in the state of Colorado. (A proposition was on this ballot to limit abortion to 22 weeks gestation, with a few very specific exceptions.)
How about anyone else out there, what stand have we truly taken for God and His ways, that things might have progressed differently in our nation?
Have we sheeple willingly trotted into the trap of “tolerance”, perhaps to the point of, though we would never openly admit it, believing that peoples preferences trump those of God?
Did we do more than bemoan it when people decided that they MUST be honored for “identifying as” something which they are not – that “marriage” between those of the same sex is just fine as long as they don’t significantly disrupt my life by it? Have you even heard the filthy/sickening remarks made by some LGBTQ “Christian” pastors, graphically describing what they would like to do with Jesus, if He were walking the earth today?
Does a bulldog “identifying” itself as a greyhound make the difference, as it lumbers around the race track; when the greyhound has already crossed the finish line and is back in its kennel enjoying its kibble? Has the bulldog any hope of winning a race against the real thing, no matter what it prefers to see itself as?
Unlike Ninevah of old – we are as a nation, OUT OF TIME
The king of Nineavah truly listened to the prophet of God. By his orders and begging God for forgiveness, not only the people took a position of repentance – fasting in sackcloth and ashes, they even put their animals on a fast and clothed them in this way. Their national change in attitude was seen and acknowledged by God and they were not destroyed. [Jonah chapters 1-4]
America however, continues to flip off the King of Kings and Lord of Lords:
A nation tells God to “pound sand”.
Eventually He does – literally,
End of nation, end of story…
On a national scale, we’re done. We are captive in Mystery Babylon and her fate was pronounced thousands of years ago.
Praying against the will of God, even in asking Him to change the course of destruction on which this nation now heads, is sin. Too, our prayers are amiss if we’re pleading for beans and weenies, our retirement account or anything else, until we’ve first interceded with Him in prayer on behalf of the souls of men. This is our duty, praying for the redemption of souls, and working to accomplish our work while it is still day, before the night closes in and we cannot work, and before there’s nothing left of Mystery Babylon. [James 4:3-4, Revelation chapter 18]
As a nation, we’re not going to get “another chance”, for prophecy must be and will be fulfilled to the letter. What the child of God must be pleading for, is that we be courageous and strong as we engage the enemy, fulfilling our spiritual battle assignments as delegated to us by the Commander of Heavens Armies!
America’s idols
Each of us has individual idols, which while we are careful not to call them by that name, none the less to varying extents, direct our thoughts and actions.
“Nationalism” is a HUGE and grotesque idol in America, one which is greatly offensive to God! Increasingly as people allow themselves to be driven into a frenzy of national pride, they are actually willing to harm and even kill those who have a differing view of “real” American pride… This has already caused and will soon cause much bloodshed and lives destroyed.
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord.
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:11-13
Captive in Mystery Babylon
Settle in for the long haul folks, we’re about to intimately learn the in’s and out’s of our “new normal”.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 29:4-9
The fall of Mystery Babylon (America)
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.
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. [Notice that this is spoken to His people – after the announcement of the fall of Babylon has been given.]
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.
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 18:2-10 [additions mine]
Because Biblical prophecy is FULLY TRUE and will be fulfilled to the letter, all that remains to be seen by us is; will America become the habitation of devils, the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird in a moment, as was true for the cities on the plain of Sodom?
Linked is a video, that we might have a real understanding of the magnitude of their destruction.

Ignoring our “concerns” with the outcome of worldly things, let us instead focus firmly on Jesus and what HE needs to have completed in the time remaining before His return! Let’s bring a smile to His face and His heart, that He may joyously proclaim – WELCOME HOME my beloved bride!

This is exactly what I have feeling as well.
The United States is absolutely an image of Mystery Babylon.
Read Jeremiah 50 and 51. It points directly at the US.
America is NOT Mystery Babylon. I know it is tempting to believe that, as there is quite a bit of evidence to support this theory. I used to believe this myself, until the Lord once again showed me that another thing I had come to believe was not entirely accurate. But in order for Him to show me that, I had to humble myself, and it’s very hard to do that, especially if you believe you are right. Mystery Babylon is a world-wide entity, not a nation. I understand the confusion, because it’s also called a “city”, but that is part of the mystery of God. It is much bigger than the U.S.A.. Is America a part of it? Sure, but it’s more like America is a piece of a much larger puzzle. I implore you, PLEASE do not box God in, especially when it comes to MAJOR prophetic end-time puzzle pieces. It is VERY dangerous and foolish to do this. Our call is to become more intimate with Jesus Christ, and as we do that allow these things to play out.
To believe America is Mystery Babylon ignores the America/Israel connection. This connection is powerful, long-standing, and ordained by God. Our two nations are the only 2 nations in the history of the world to be in direct covenant with the Lord. Mystery Babylon gets completely annihilated, and that will not happen here. With that being said, I do believe we will face severe judgment, but He will not wipe us off of the earth totally, and that is the fate of Babylon.
Please, I beg you, consider another perspective. It is very dangerous to lead others incorrectly, based off of what we think. The Lord’s servant is humble, teachable, and able to be corrected.
God bless
Interesting, Phillip. Pastor Irvin Baxter didn’t believe America was Mystery Babylon. Revelation 12:14 shows a woman, Israel, being given two wings of a great eagle, which for him meant America is Israel’s defender in the end times. I pray this is true and that the second term of Donald Trump’s presidency heralds great revival and return to Biblical truth.
Good morning Paul,
Our understanding of the woman described in Revelation 12 beginning in V1-2 is that the woman is the nation of Israel – having a crown of 12 stars, representing the 12 tribes. She gave birth to Jesus the Messiah [V5] and V13 says the dragon/satan will persecute her.
In V14 she (Israel) is given two wings; do the two wings not represent the divided entities of Israel and Judah, which came from her and who will in the wilderness and be cared for, for a set time? V15 speaks of a flood, sent by satan to carry her away (to destroy her?). A flood is centralized to one area or region, it would not jointly encompass Israel and a nation thousands of miles away (America), thus by that reason as well, it seems unlikely that America is one of the wings.
V17 said the dragon is angry that the flood was stopped before reaching (and destroying?) her, so he turns his wrath/focus upon the remnant of her seed “which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ”. These are of every tongue, tribe and nation [Revelation 7:9].
The leadership of America has worked diligently to facilitate dividing the land of Israel, rather than defending and protecting her God ordained sovereignty over the landmass which He assigned to her. Doesn’t look like we’re doing a great job of caring for her as God would intend, if we are actually joined with Israel to the end that she may be strengthened.
Perhaps America will change direction and align with Gods desires for Israel – we can pray that this will become reality. For that matter, also that many in America, will indeed turn to Jesus!
Thanks for letting me interject a few thoughts!
Phillip- I do not even pretend to know where America stands in these final days, but all signs point to major judgement upon this nation. God must be very displeased with our nation. We have gone from a nation founded on Godly principles, to removing him from our daily lives. Abortions, removing prayer from school . The list goes on and on.
We might not be the great Babylon, but I think those 2 eclipses in 7 years that X out the country mean something. Hopefully, a warning, but we haven’t changed our ways in the years since the first one.
I hope you are right. I pray our nation is here to stand by Israel when the time comes.
I agree Phillip. America is not Mystery Babylon. Like you stated, Mystery Babylon is much bigger and has existed for thousands of years, far longer than the USA. For over 2,500 years, it has been based in Rome but controlling and influencing many nations, including the USA for at least a hundred years. The USA has become the primary base of operations for bringing other nations into submission to the mother of all harlots, largely through CIA black operations but also through overt US military campaigns operating under false pretenses. The same spirit of Mystery Babylon now has total control over the USA, so it’s not far off the mark to call us Mystery Babylon.
Dear James,
I guess I have a different take…
“Mystery” because America was not yet a country.
I totally, 100% believe that America is ‘mystery’ Babylon, a spiritual one.
To the max. Babylon was not a ‘religious’ place, it was a heathen/pagan CITY just like NYC is.
‘Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters’
The statue of Liberty sits on 11 bodies of water. She was the ‘signet’ that Babylon had arisen.
New York Harbor is a natural harbor where the the Atlantic Ocean meets with water from the Hudson River. It is comprised of Upper New York Bay, Lower New York Bay, North River, East River, Kill Van Kull, Newark Bay, Arthur Kill, The Narrows, Jamaica Bay, Raritan Bay and Harlem River. Upper New York Bay and Lower New York Bay are the two largest components, and are joined by the Narrows which is a tidal straight separating Staten Island from Brooklyn.
Rev 17: 2 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.
*Drugs, illicit sex, alcohol, homosexuality, perversion, abortion, greed, filthy entertainment, porn, etc. ALL of the kings of the earth have engaged in these practices because of our MOVIES & MUSIC.
Rev 17: 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
NYC: $$$, decisions, power.
I 100% believe that NYC IS Babylon–Mystery Babylon is a CITY.
So, in that, I believe that remnants all over America will be saved when God judges us. The cities in USA will come under siege because of their affiliation with Babylon.
Brother Jim, I remember once you shared about the timeframe when the world will enter into that eventful destiny when antichrist takes control of the world. I remember it’s sometime around 2035 and it has to do with God’s specific calling in your life. Could you share that again?
I shared that in a previous podcast. I think it was the one about the Transformation of the World by 2036.
https://z3news.com/w/transformation-world-2036/
In my book, Remnant, I included 38 scriptural prophecies that must be fulfilled before the Lord returns, plus other scriptural reasons why I believe the return of the Lord might be in the 2040’s, but I also pointed out that God has not revealed any dates to me so I’m only speculating and not locked into that. I’m a big believer in seeking God wholeheartedly today and not giving a thought or a care to tomorrow.
I think you’re referring to my testimony about what God revealed to me regarding my own life that helped me estimate the timing of the Lord’s return. In August of 1998, when I was 39 and a half years old, I was in the parking lot of a shopping strip on a beautiful sunny day when God said to me, “You are now at the mid-point of your life. And the value of the first half of your life compared with the value of the second half of your life is like the value of water compared with the value of blood. And the cost that you have paid in the first half of your life compared with the cost you will pay in the second half of your life is like the cost of water compared with the cost of blood.”
That was a very profound word that I could never have come up with on my own. I believe the timing He gave me was to be taken literally. If so, I will be somewhere close to 79 years old when I die in early 2038. And if I’m going to live until 2038, then I don’t expect the Lord will be returning until sometime afterwards.
So far His word has proven true and seems to be accelerating. I have already experienced paying a far greater cost in the second half of my life and I believe that will continue until the end because He had already revealed to me previously that I will die as a martyr (along with many others). I’m okay with that because with each passing year I have less and less regard for my own life and only want to know Him more.
Hi James
Here is a word from God for the believers who would know martyrs. I thought it would be a scary and awful topic that I didn’t want to hear initially. However it became a most astonishing vision. Our precious, loving God has transformed it with His power into something extraordinary.
As a human I hope that none of us will never have to face that.
Please use this word to comfort the people, may it never happen during our lifetime, and give supernatural strength.
The blurb of the podcast is “Five minutes…. See you in heaven!” with a fist pump up
Thanks for the encouragement May.
Thanks James for the awesome testimony. I am at a total loss for words, and I feel so inadequate to say anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-vV2T40Wao
Thanks George W. That’s a beautiful song. And it’s great to see former presidents visiting Z3news.com.
James I appreciate you’re good at cracking jokes.
May God greatly reward your hard labor in bringing clear prophetic insight to God’s people.
Amen brother James amen!??✝️❤️
Hi Phillip,
Can you please provide scripture by which you would base the assertation that America is in direct covenant with God? I recall and find no scriptural allusion to God having the intention to make a direct covenant with any nation outside of Israel/Judah.
It seems that your understanding of Mystery Babylon being a global entity, perhaps is taken to be the cabal, which we Christians commonly refer to as the beast system (New World Order). Am I understanding you correctly?
Once I have a better understanding of your thoughts, perhaps we can further explore them?
America IS Babylon.
“The whore who sits on many waters”
NYC sits on 11 bodies of water.
“All of the kings of the earth traded with her”
WALL STREET.
NYC is the epicenter.
Wow, Deborah! What a tremendous yet sobering article. Every Christian in America ought to read this. This was truly written by the pen and hand of God.
Well done Deborah. This earth is not our home. Let’s do the best we can for our Lord Jesus in the last years we have, in the big scheme ,Biden and Harris are short term players. God is sovereign and that’s what matters.
Phil
