  • In777sight on Revelation 17 - 11 years ago
    Mystery Babylon is energy, specifically nuclear energy. The 7 mountains are nations willing to go to war using nuclear weapons. There are eight sovereign states that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons. Five are considered to be "nuclear weapon states " under the terms of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are the United States, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France, and China. These are the 5 that the Bible says are "fallen " because they have actually detonated a bomb. Since the NPT entered into force in 1970, three states that were not parties to the Treaty have conducted nuclear tests, namely India, Pakistan, and North Korea. North Korea had been a party to the NPT but withdrew in 2003. Israel is also widely believed to have nuclear weapons, though it maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity regarding this, and is not known definitively to have conducted a nuclear test. Israel is the "other that is to come " and verify they have and will use nuclear weapons.
