I believe God has revealed three keys to unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of the ages, exposing the identity and schemes of Mystery Babylon.
For thousands of years, God has hidden the meaning of end time prophecies by cloaking them in symbolism because previous generations didn’t need to know since they weren’t going to see the fulfillment, but God has promised to unseal these mysteries to the generation living at the time of the end, the generation that would see the return of the Lord. (Proverbs 25:20) I believe we are that generation for the reasons documented in Part 2 of my book, Remnant.
Even so, these mysteries were revealed to a remnant in previous generations, but they weren’t allowed to share them with anyone else because it wasn’t time. For example, the angel Gabriel revealed many of these mysteries to Daniel, but then he instructed Daniel, “Shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4)
Just as Gabriel promised, God is now unsealing these mysteries to equip His people to walk in great wisdom so we can fulfill His plans, causing us to shine like lights, like the brightness of the firmament, like the stars shining forever and ever, drawing multitudes to the light, including many sons and daughters returning from afar when they see the glory of God upon us. (Isaiah 60:2-4, Daniel 12:3) This great wisdom coming from heaven will produce the atmosphere of heaven and the blessings of heaven in the lives of those who are willing to receive it, even in times of great turmoil in the world. (Exodus 12:35-36, Psalm 23:4-6, Proverbs 13:22, 2 Kings 6:24-7:20, Isaiah 45:3, Isaiah 60:4-5, Haggai 2:6-9, Matthew 6:10, Mark 10:29-30, Revelation 12:14)
This outpouring of wisdom was confirmed by the following prophetic words shared by the late prophet Bob Jones:
“Wisdom is on her way. I believe it has started. In this one harvest, He is talking about over one billion youth is getting ready to come in. They will only come in where wisdom dwells. Wisdom is looking for a place to move in down here now, and she is coming down here to take over the Father’s business, and where wisdom is reigning over the Father’s business, you are talking big numbers. And we are also talking about going worldwide.
I believe there is a remnant that is coming forth. I don’t believe they are very mature yet. But they are going to change. The change is taking place. I am telling you, wisdom has come to kiss her children and to justify them. I would put it this way, you haven’t seen anything yet.” (Source: 2012 Shepherd’s Rod)
Three Keys to Wisdom:
Back in 2016, I was seeking God for wisdom as He has invited us to do in this scripture:
1 My son, if you will receive my words and treasure my commandments within you,
2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding;
3 For if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding;
4 If you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will discern the fear of Yahweh and discover the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:1-5)
After many days asking, I received the following dream on March 18 2016. A person whom I could not see gave me three keys, which I knew were the keys to wisdom and understanding. The first key was the knowledge of the Word of God. The second was knowledge of the power of the Holy Spirit. The third key was the knowledge of practical, predictable patterns.
As He handed them to me one at a time, I was amazed by the depth of insights contained within each key, like we could learn forever and still have much more still to learn. It reminded me of this verse, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways.” (Romans 11:33) Unfortunately, when I woke up, I could not recall any of those great insights, just that each contained great depths.
I also understood they were given to me in order of their priority and importance, so they are not all on the same level. Since the knowledge of the written word of God was the first key, it is the most important. Next comes knowledge of the power of the Holy Spirit, which we must have to understand how He operates in our life. I was not surprised by either of those keys because their importance has been emphasized in many messages I’ve heard, but I was surprised by the third one. Even though it was a lower priority than the first two, I was surprised it was even mentioned in the top three because I’ve never heard anything about it in any church meetings. Yet, the following scriptures confirm it:
9 That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
Based on these scriptures, everything that happens under heaven happens at a set time, an appointed time, the assigned season when it is supposed to happen, just as predictable as sunrise and sunset and the changes of seasons in fall, winter, spring, and summer. (Amplified from Hebrew word zeman in verse 3:1) Since these patterns include everything, it is not limited to world events like wars, recessions, depressions, plagues, etc, but also includes everything in our personal life, such as the time we are born, the time when we die, and everything in between. Even our physical bodies follow predictable patterns of sleeping and waking, eating, digesting, breathing, growing, aging and dying.
Even though this key has been neglected, I believe God is now calling our attention to it because it is more important than ever before that we properly understand what’s happening in the world today and what’s coming in the future. He does not want us to be caught by surprise, but to be His beacons of light so we can help lead others to Him. A time of unprecedented trouble is coming upon the world, putting great pressure on people, so they will be seeking answers. So, God is now equipping us with wisdom and understanding.
The future is revealed by the patterns of the past because the cycles keep repeating. Although this key has been neglected by the Church, it’s great value has been discovered by many others. Here are a few examples:
• Market analysts have discovered patterns in price movements, called cycles, which are amazingly accurate in predicting future prices.
• Economist Martin Armstrong developed forecasting models based on historical cycles that have proven to be so accurate the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prosecuted him in 1999 on false charges of fraud because they wanted to confiscate his proprietary forecasting methods. When he refused to give it to them, he was charged with obstruction of justice and put in prison. (Source: Wikipedia)
• The Rothschild family has used this key for hundreds of years to amass great wealth for themselves, which they have used to gain control over international money markets. (Source: Secrets of the Federal Reserve, page 48)
• Scientists have discovered historical patterns in the movement of the moon, planets and stars, enabling them to accurately predict their future movements.
Satan also understands the great value of this key, which is why he has been secretly scheming to keep it away from us by sending forth his minions to revise the stories of history in all types of media, including movies, television shows, newspapers, radio stations, book publishers and especially school textbooks. History has a long history of being revised, so this is not new. In the United States, it started long before we were born and gained great influence by the late 1800’s. For example, historian David Barton, founder of WallBuilders.com, studied the content of history books published since the start of our nation and discovered a significant shift around 1900 with many distortions and outright lies appearing in books published after that time. Since then, Satan’s grip has continually tightened through the acquisition and consolidation of all types of media businesses, including several mega-mergers in the 1990’s that have concentrated the full power of the media into fewer hands than ever before, making it easier to control than ever before. In upcoming posts, I will be sharing more detailed evidence of these schemes.
By the time we came along and learned history from our school textbooks, it was already too late. We had no chance of hearing the truth unless we were blessed to have parents who possessed great wisdom. The stories we learned in school had already been revised, which is why most of us have never heard of many of history’s greatest faith heroes, or the greatest moves of God’s Spirit, or the truth about the evil works of darkness throughout history. Instead, we have been indoctrinated with many lies, producing in us a grossly distorted perspective, like having cancer without even being aware of it.
We Need All Three Keys
The good news is God has given us these keys as the cure for this ailment. We have the first key, the scriptures, warning us that the whole world is under Satan’s power, the father of all lies. (John 8:44, 1 John 5:19) And we have been warned to be on the alert, on guard at all times, not giving Satan any opportunity to devour us. (1 Peter 5:8-9) Having this knowledge, we can defend ourselves by avoiding the sources of his indoctrination and by being more selective about the sources we trust. But we are not limited to playing defense. We can take the offensive by studying and learning from each of the three keys, especially our most powerful offensive weapon, the Word of God, which is like a sharp sword. (Ephesians 6:17) And we have the second key, the power of the Holy Spirit, to guide us and help us grow in our knowledge of the truth. In addition, we have scriptural instructions to humble ourselves, which will help us grow faster by being willing to re-align our perspectives as we discover new evidence. (James 4:10)
In our quest for the truth and study of the evidence found in historical patterns, I believe the best sources are the testimonies of first-hand eyewitnesses, based on their original documents and letters, especially when confirmed by many other first-hand eyewitnesses. That’s way better than second-hand summaries written in later generations. Beyond that, we have the evidence of physical structures built in previous generations that provide us with clues about their lives and their capabilities that often contradicts the popular conclusions of historians and archeologists. That’s the kind of evidence I’m seeking and will be presenting to reveal Mystery Babylon.
As much as we need the third key, it only works when used together with the other two. Even with all the best evidence and testimonies from first-hand eyewitness, we can still get confused and draw the wrong conclusions unless we pursue a scriptural perspective with the help of the Holy Spirit guiding us.
We need all three keys working together, not just for understanding Mystery Babylon, but for every area of our life. For example, our knowledge of the scriptures and historical patterns can help us immediately recognize false prophecies, especially words regarding current and future events. Unfortunately, there are many false prophecies being circulated among us, especially on the Internet. Based on some of the emails and comments I’ve seen, many people are basing their entire belief systems on these lies because they’re failing to use the other two keys. They wrongly assume they’re on solid ground because they heard it in a prophecy, but God has given us everything we need to avoid making that mistake.
I believe this end-time generation is going to tap into the wisdom of God like no previous generation has ever done, acquiring insights that will enable us to know the times and seasons with such clarity that nothing will catch us by surprise (Proverbs 22:3). By using all three keys, we’re finally going to operate at full power, fully equipped, just the way God has planned for us all along.

really looking forward to continuing this journey, as you share. I have so many things that leap to mind here, all of which I want to say in response to this post….. but I know without a doubt, that right now, I am to be silent, so that I can listen, read, process, learn, grow, diligently pray. and then, share.
thank you, will be in touch again soon!
James, I haven’t had the privilege of reading your book yet, but the Lord has led me to many over the years. I am 67 now, but when I was a junior in high school, the Lord put the book THE ROCKEFELLER FILES in my path. It was my first look at Mystery Babylon and helped me understand how eventually No one could buy or sell without the mark of the beast. That was almost incomprehensible back then, before so much computer use. Then, he led me into studies of Catholicism, Freemasonry, paganism, etc, and showed me how it all just overlaps and ties together. Early on, I read The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop. It is a tedious read but has a lot of info. After all these years, two books I would say are the very best for background are Babylon, Mystery Religion by Ralph Woodrow ( a look from the spiritual side), and Beneath The Tide by Ken Bowers. (Covering more of the political aspect, but some of all). Both of these are easy reads with a wealth of information. If anyone is just starting this journey, both of these would be great background info if you can obtain them. James, I thank God that He is using you to continue to expose these evils.
Thanks Brenda. I added these to my collection and look forward to reading them.
Hello James: Such a good word. It reminds me of what you once wrote about the “Mighty Ones” I think you called them. They would use the three keys. I had a dream last night, I am leaving the link here. I think it is about the “Calling Out” of God’s Warrior’s. I imagine there are many being called now. Blessings, Kasey

Great Post, Thank You!
This is a good article connecting Mystery Babylon with wisdom. Wisdom itself is typified as a woman. Babylon was described as the “lady of kingdoms” in Isaiah 47:5. and actually did seek after wisdom from wise men, astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers (Dan 2: 27). What wasn’t sought after were true men of God with divine wisdom (except for Daniel).
America today is popularly compared to Babylon – we have a woman as the statue of liberty and women have a higher social standing here than any other nation on the globe. Astrology columns appear in many newspapers. But it is the “wise men” that are given the greatest credence. These are the scientists and Phd’s who receive billions of dollars for research and development from the Federal Government, private corporations, and academia. These institutions likewise don’t seek after true men of God for divine guidance.
Why is woman a symbol for wisdom? Perhaps because woman was the first to eat the forbidden fruit. She saw that the fruit was “to be desired to make one wise” (Gen 3: 6). But this wisdom was not from God, and her status fell for millennia to a level lower than men.
When I read your post yesterday I felt like the Lord wanted me to recommend a free book by Dr. Patricia Green that I was reading. It seems to confirm your post James. It’s about the 7 Spirits of God which involves both key 1 and key 2 that you referenced. However, I didn’t want to recommend the book if she wasn’t a trustworthy source. Then today the Lord led me to scan her videos and I was led to listen to “impeachment warning” from a year ago. ( shared link in my previous comment) This video seems to evidence that Dr. Patricia Green does here from the Holy Spirit since the death of Elijah Cummings…..therefore I feel safe in leading others to her website. She has 5 free downloadable books. Lots of revelation in them.. I personally lacked understanding of the 7 Spirits of God but feel better equipped now since reading her book. God bless.
Thanks for sharing Robin. I agree, she seems to be the real deal.
Thank you Robin, I will follow your advice.
Do you think these forecasts such as ones presented by Martin Armstrong and others help determine the lords return perhaps some time in the 2040’s?
I have great respect for his forecasting model but did not base my estimate on it. I don’t claim to know the exact time of the Lord’s return but I believe He wanted us to know the season because He gave us lots of signs to watch. I documented seven signs in Part 2 of my book, Remnant, which I believe confirm we are in that season, but there are still many other Bible prophecies that must be fulfilled before He returns, so we’re not quite there yet. I also included in Exhibit 24 in the back of the book, 38 Things that Must Happen Before the Rapture. I came up with the 2040’s based on adding the length of one generation, 70 to 80 years, to the year the Jewish people reclaimed Jerusalem in 1967. I came up with that length based on this scripture, which I think has a double meaning referring to the length of our life and the timing of the rapture.
The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:10)
Genesis 6.3-Mans years will be 120. I say this because recently Kevin Zadai (do not have a link) said the Lord told him (not exact verbage) ‘you have the tecnology/medically to do this now (live this long, I may have to extend out things. . . ‘ Then I remembered ‘it will be like in the days of Noah Matt 24-Gen 6.3–just something for us to consider. ?
Man… that was good… thanks pal…
Glad to have you back!
Cycles: I agree with that as a missing key. There are many examples of prophecy as “pattern,” with a near and future element.
Armstrong: I discovered his blog in late 2014. I took him and the ECM model seriously when I saw Russia enter Syria on the peak of the last cycle, September 30-October 1, 2015.
How was it possible to identify this most recent new cycle turn on January 18-19 (2020.05) years ago? That date was on the chart I saw in 2014.
What is being hinted at for mid-decade? What about the long wave peak at the end of 2032 and the massive change and reversal that suggests?
My parents experienced and talked about what was the long wave peak of 1929.75 and the depths of the depression at 1934.05.
I was a young business owner in the 1970s and thought things were finally going to turn better in late 1980. Little did I know we were near the top and the start of the crash. That next summer my financial world began to unwind. Armstrong had it right, 1981.35.
Keep up the great work. We are in our Father’s hands.
Thanks for those great confirmations Nate. His forecasting model has been amazingly accurate and based on the wisdom key of practical patterns, I think it’s worth paying attention to even though it’s still not on the same level as a word from God.
Great message. James. Incredible events will happen in the next 10 years,
Phil
Thanks Phil.
