I suggest that perhaps in regard to Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon we should maybe not be looking at nation states as the modern representations.marc wrote: ↑December 1st, 2022, 6:13 pmWell, Egypt and Babylon were superpowers, but Assyria was the world superpower back then. I believe Egypt was the archetype for the US today, but who is really the world superpower today? And who is Babylon? I can't help but feel the US is all three at the same time. Russia and China are certainly super powers, but I don't see either of them being a world superpower. Maybe the UN (Agenda 2030, etc) is the real world power.logonbump wrote: ↑December 1st, 2022, 5:52 pm Some context: from Gideadi's podcast Analytical Commentary of Isaiah, chapter 3.
"Judea and Jerusalem; they're not just geographic locations but they're also codenames for latter-day entities. All names, in fact, like the name, the king of Assyria; while yes, there was an ancient king of Assyria, but there's also a latter-day king of Assyria; not that there's a nation called Assyria, but there will be a nation that resembles the ancient empire of Assyria; that has the same characteristics as the ancient Assyria does.
So is the name Babylon a codename for a latter-day Babylon and the name Zion a codename for a latter-day Zion. They all existed anciently and they'll all exist again in the end-time. Same with Judea and Jerusalem. These would be places where the Lord's people live today."
My question is, what nation resembles most an ancient Assyria? Since the one that conquers the world is an Assyrian alliance, I'd guess China, since it's the richest, most powerful nation presently, has the most people (resources) and has the greatest number of partnerships presently
I for one think that the BIS, IMF and WEF combined serve very well as modern Babylon.
Priestcraft and secret combinations serve very well as Egypt.
The U.S. as Assyria is perhaps the exception to the rule as it seems to fit so well. But even there, perhaps the U.S.+ EU Anglo alliance might fit even better. This is all just me tossing ideas out, idk.
While in general I agree that it takes some time to understand Isaiah, I think two years may be a bit much - it really depends on how concentrated and dedicated your study is and how much assistance you get from the spirit. I spent quite a few years really focusing on Isaiah, Daniel, and the Apocalypse of John, and honestly even pretty early in that period inspiration was coming pretty quickly. Results will vary though
