Revelation speaks of a woman. A woman who sits on a beast with seven heads and ten horns. A woman who is described as a city. She is called "Mystery, Babylon the Great." I will now present 4 proofs that this woman is Jerusalem.
Proof 1
Premise 1: Babylon is guilty of the blood of the prophets and of all the blood that was shed on earth: Revelation 18:24
Premise 2: Jerusalem is guilty of the blood of the prophets and of all the blood that was shed on earth: Matthew 23:34-37
Conclusion: Jerusalem is Babylon
Note: Jerusalem, as the capital of Israel, represents the people of Israel. Therefore, Jerusalem is meant as a synonym for Israel. This is especially evident in Luke 13:33, where Jesus says that it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem. If Jerusalem meant only the literal city of Jerusalem, there would be a contradiction in the Bible, because according to the Old Testament, prophets were also killed outside of the city of Jerusalem. So when Jesus spoke of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, he meant the people of Israel. The people of Israel, that is, the Jews, killed Jesus and the prophets (see 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16). Even today, people use the capital of a nation as a synonym for the entire nation. For example, if someone speaks of Paris, they mean France; if someone speaks of Moscow, they mean Russia.
Proof 2
Premise 1: Babylon killed Jesus: Revelation 11:8
Premise 2: Jerusalem killed Jesus: Matthew 16:21
Conclusion: Jerusalem is Babylon
Note: Some claim that Revelation 11:8 is not about Babylon. However, this is wrong. In Revelation 11:8, the name "the great city" is written. Besides Revelation 11:8, "the great city" occurs seven times in Revelation: in Revelation 16:19, 17:18, 18:10, 18:16, 18:18, 18:19, and 18:21. In all seven verses, "the great city" is identified with Babylon. Since "the great city" is identified with Babylon everywhere else in Revelation, Revelation 11:8 must also be about Babylon. Otherwise, it would make little sense and would be confusing if the author does not refer to Babylon.
Proof 3
Babylon controls the world: Revelation 17:18
To find out who controls the world, we only need to know who controls the most powerful country. The most powerful country in the world is undoubtedly the USA. Both militarily and economically, the USA is far superior to all other countries. The USA also has the greatest cultural influence in the world. This is clear to everyone. But by whom is the USA controlled? Who made the USA great? The answer: the Jews. The evidence: Wikipedia - List of Jewish American businesspeople.
The Jews not only made the USA great, they even founded it. They financed the American War of Independence. Without this financial help from the Jews, the USA would not exist (see My Jewish Learning - The Revolutionary War and the Jews). Furthermore, Columbus was a crypto-Jew and was financed by Jews. He began his voyage shortly after Spain decided to expel the Jews.
Given these facts, the United States can be considered Jewish, as it was founded and made great by Jews. There are approximately 20 million Jews worldwide. 7 million live in Israel and 7 million in the United States. It is not without reason that the Star of David is on the Great Seal of the USA.
If you look closely at the Wikipedia list, you can clearly see that Jews are the most successful business people. In fact, the Jews are the people with the best skills. Without them, the world would not be as modern as it is today. The Jews even have the highest IQ in the world (see HandWiki - Jewish Intelligence). These special abilities that they possess have enabled them to have the greatest influence in the world, so that they control the world. The great influence of the Jews is very remarkable, considering that they make up only about 0.2 percent of the world's population.
Only about 2% of the U.S. population is of full Ashkenazi Jewish descent, but 27% of United States Nobel prize winners in the 20th century, 25% of the winners of the Fields Medal (the top prize in mathematics), 25% of ACM Turing Award winners, a quarter of Regeneron Science Talent Search winners, and 38% of the Academy Award-winning film directors have either full or partial Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Jews comprise up to one third of the student populace at Ivy League universities, and 30% of the U.S. Supreme Court's law clerks.
In Hungary in the 1930s, Ashkenazi Jews comprised 6% of the country's population, but 55.7% of physicians, 49.2% of attorneys, 30.4% of engineers, and 59.4% of bank officers; plus, they owned 49.4% of the metallurgy industry, 41.6% of machine manufacturing, 72.8% of clothing manufacturing, and, as housing owners, they received 45.1% of Budapest rental income. Jews were similarly successful in nearby nations, like Poland and Germany.
Quote from Henry Ford's published book "The International Jew": "The international Jewish banker who has no country but plays them all against one another, and the International Jewish proletariat that roams from land to land in search of a peculiar type of economic opportunity...are at the heart of the problems that disturb the world today. The immigration problem is Jewish. The money question is Jewish. The tie-up of world politics is Jewish. The terms of the Peace Treaty are Jewish. The diplomacy of the world is Jewish. The moral question in movies and theaters is Jewish. The mystery of the illicit liquor business is Jewish."
Quote from Martin Luther's book "On the Jews and Their Lies": "Princes and government sit by, snore and have their mugs (mouth) open, let the Jews take from their purse and chest, steal and rob whatever they will. That is, they permit themselves and their subjects to be abused and sucked dry and reduced to beggars with their own money, through the usury of the Jews. For the Jews, as foreigners, certainly should have nothing; and what they have certainly must be ours. They do not work, do not earn anything from us, neither do we donate or give it to them. Yet they have our money and goods and are lords in our land where they are in exile."
And even the Bible reports several times that Jews were the rulers of world empires. See, for example, Genesis 45:8, 1 Kings 4:21, Daniel 2:48-49, and Ezra 4:20.
Proof 4
Babylon has corrupted the world with fornication and idolatry: Revelation 19:2
Jews have created a lot of things that have to do with entertainment. They created the biggest film and music studios. They created the comic book industry like Marvel, DC, MAD, and Archie Comics. They created the mobile phone and the modern computer. They created the internet, the video game console, and AI. They created the biggest dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Grindr. They created the biggest websites like Google and Facebook. The contribution Jews have made to entertainment is indeed huge (see JewishContributions.com). But why did Jews do that? A quote from the Jewish pornographer Al Goldstein: "The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged." Is this true? Did Jews create all these things with the aim of spiritually corrupting mankind? Well, allow me to show you another quote. A quote from the book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which reveals the plans of the Jews: "In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions, people's palaces. . . Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art, in sport of all kinds: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them." And see what Henry Ford said about this book: "The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old, and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. They fit it now."
On the one hand you claim this, then you quote Luther on how Jews steal all they can. I don't believe Jews are the smartest, or most talented. Jews are intelligent BUT they also have a tremendous support network and ethnic preference not common within other races. As such, I believe much of their success is not solely from intelligence but also "Jews helping Jews" - a conspiracy if you will. Jews seem to be the only race playing the ethnic-domination game whereas no other race has a collective sense of identity this strong. So to attribute their success solely to intelligence and skill without acknowledging the "Jews helping Jews" conspiracy is wrong.
If you were to gather all whites, or asians, and give them a good support network (strong families) and instill in them that they are gods-chosen people and they belong in a particular homeland and that the world hates them and they have to band together I suspect you would see similar results of domination by these two ethnic groups.
Note that Luther is not talking about theft in the sense of violent theft, but rather theft in the sense of usury. The fact that Jews were so successful at usury that they, as Luther himself wrote, became rulers and landowners, is evidence of great intelligence. That Jews possess the highest level of intelligence is scientifically proven; see the HandWiki link.
