I have come to study this because I have grown a suspicion about the Jerusalem and Israel that exist today. I have come to suspect that they are not in the land of Canaan as it was in the Old Testaments. My main reason for this is Jerusalem and Israel of today does not fit the description GOD Himself said the land would be left in. As it is today the land is not enjoying her Sabbath.

Lev:26:34: Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

Lev:26:43: The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

Those passages are describing the land of Canaan as to when a people called Israel would be in the land of their conquers. Due to the fact that their exist a place called Jerusalem and Israel today and these places are inhabited and flourishing with production, one has to question rather or not they are in the true location of Canaan. I have come to suspect that the land of Canaan is laying waste in jungle or extremely thick forest undergrowth. The two likely continental locations for the land of Canaan would be Africa or South America. All through the Scripture GOD suggest that the main conquers of Israel would be from the north.

Jer:1:15: For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

So ask yourself, what is north of Africa? There has been strong suggestion or feelings from other people that America is Babylon. Although I disagree with this I continue not to completely rule out the possibility. So if that is the case then ask yourself, what is north of South America?

The country that I mostly suspect to be Babylon would be Rome and all of its provinces. The reason America appears to be Babylon is because America has not hid it's History. We all know that brutal slavery, as we know it, had its beginnings in Rome, Briton, England and Spain. But when one goes to study this time period in those places it is very difficult to find detailed records and accounts of slavery and how it was. Most of the time you will find books talking about how blacks migrated from place to place or you can find accounts of someone's adventurous recording on when they met their first native tribes or nude people. But it is difficult to find the records on how they murdered, slaughtered, and took them into bondage. Most of that part of the History of the beginning reigns of those countries have been rewritten or covered up. I suspect this passage to be referring to that act:

Isa:28:15: Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

When GOD speaks of a ruling nation or when the fourth beast is mentioned in Daniel it is not referring to a nation strong in economics or wealth. It is mostly speaking of a religious power. Servants of Jesus got their start through what can be described as being the fall of Jerusalem. From there the servants of Jesus made desolate all other gods on earth.

Dan:9:17: Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

Dan:9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Dan:11:31: And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Dan:12:11: And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

As the Roman Empire and its provinces (England, Spain, Briton, Europe, etc…) explored all of earth they fulfilled those prophesies. The abomination they setup is Jesus and his story and purpose. They made the people they ran into desolate by destroying their gods and culture. Their motto became "any people that they ran into that were running around half naked and or uncivilized in their eyes were to be converted to servants of Jesus and or make them slaves, if this was rejected; kill them". The word Catholic was derived from the Greek word katheter, which means, "to purge". And that is exactly what they did. In doing this world wide, they also did it to a people called Israel. All of it began with Babylon, which was the Arm of the LORD. Did not GOD tell Israel, the nation to come up on us would be from ancient times? Meaning the nation would be traceable through the reading of the Scriptures. I suspect this was accomplished in my "Gentile" writings.

Jer:5:15: Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

My point is, America is to young to be that nation. Israel was conquered and scattered abroad before America was even a thought. It is true they had part in it because they became allies with Babylon. Just like several of the people of Judah did.

Jer:38:19: And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

So as you can see, in those days it was not the color of someone's skin that divided the nations, it was their religious practice. In those days the cards just happen to fall that servants of Jesus were mostly white and servants of GOD or Judah and Israel were mostly black or of a dark complexion. Slavery in America and all over the world was the residual result of a religious World War. The reason America is so resentful against Israel and appears as Babylon:

Gen:27:41: And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

With the true Babylon setting in the back ground publishing false books and writings along with religious groups that promote an eagle/America as being the forth beast and compiled with Americas natural anger towards Jacob; it makes America look very, very guilty of being the fourth beast in Daniel 7. It has become too difficult to distinguish between the bloodline of the Chaldeans and the bloodline of Esau. In Dan7 the fourth beast is not described as an eagle. But when one gets to read the Apocrypha writings it slowly begins to depict an eagle as the fourth beast or the evil ruling nation. One thing I have noticed about Apocrypha is GOD Himself is not in them. So I have to classify the writings the same as I have classified the writings of the New Testaments, it is all just writings of men. Rather or not it is true, well, GOD informs the reader or Israel of falsehood being somewhere within. So I am very cautious when it comes to building an understanding of things on writings that does not have or depict LORD GOD of Israel within them.

GOD's destruction of Israel can be viewed as fighting fire with fire, sin with sin, evil with evil, transgression with transgression. All of the abominations the Israelites were committing, we have been spared the details in the readings of the Bible. We would actually snatch a child out of its mother's arms and burn it to death in the name of a false deity. Our women were physically having sex with hewed images of demons and god's created through the evil imagination of men and that's why you can find sculptures of god's and demon like figures today that have large privy areas. Every thing has a history. All of the things GOD said not to do, we begin doing in abundance. And all of this was performed on Holy Ground. This is why it became necessary for GOD to release upon us the most terrible of the heathen nations to purge HIS Holy Land of our atrocities. This purging was done through Babylon, which is Rome. And that's why GOD called Nebuchadnezzar HIS servant. In essence we all serve GOD. No one can escape HIS prophecy. HIS words are our lives; we exist inside of them.

Jer:27:6: And now have I given all these lands unto the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

All of Israel's evils were purged when they did what they did. GOD sent us HIS messengers day by day. Even would make a man drop dead at the mouth of a prophet and yet we did not believe. The prophets became entertainers and something to mock at. So what more could be done then what has been done by the Arm of the Living GOD. The next chastising from GOD Himself may be death, out right removal of evil people from this earth. The payment to Babylon is being fulfilled. That reward is what gives them permission to reign on earth for an undetermined amount of time. Which would be the time GOD can no more bare their iniquity. Which will be the time the land vomits them out. GOD did not give the heathens Israel because of the heathen's righteousness. GOD gave the heathens Israel because of Israel's evils. This is the exact same reason GOD gave the Israelites the people of the land of Canaan and the nations.

Deut:9:4: Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

Due to the heathen nations failure to discern the Mighty Works of GOD, they have fallen victim and repeats exactly what Israel did. And that error may be their undoing.
