Is Babylon the Body of Christ?

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Hi J____,

Thank you for your question. The answer is absolutely not! Babylon is God’s divorced wife, she is “the bondwoman… and her son”, she is the seven churches of Rev 2-3, she is Jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her children” and she is “those Jews which believed on [ Christ, but who] want[ ed] to kill [ Him]”. In short, Babylon is that great city wherein our Lord was crucified”, meaning she is “the body of… another Jesus” who would have the true Jesus of Nazareth put to death.

Isa 50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

She is the fallen from grace, “seed of Abraham”, and she is the first, natural “mother of us all”, but we must “come out of her My people” (Rev 18:4). I hope this answers your question. If not please let me know.

Your brother and fellow servant,
