This city was situated on the coast of Lebanon, anciently. Many waves by different nations attacked Tyre. The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Crusaders, and the Arabs. Yet, the Bible says that Tyre will be engaged in international commerce and politics in the end time.

The Tyrians were a people who were involved in commerce and colonization. Out of Tyre and Israel came many Phoenician colonies in the Mediterranean. " 'They founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the Aegean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)”' (Driver's Isaiah)" (Easton's Bible Dictionary under article "Tyre"). Carthage was of course an enemy of Rome, with its Punic wars, and Hannibal its leader taking on the Roman Empire, leading to its defeat in 146 B.C. These people of Tyre and Sidon, were natives along with the Israelites that dwelt in these cities (Joshua 19:24, 28-29) created what is known as the Phoenician Empire. An alliance between Solomon and Hiram. But when God's judgment came upon Israel, the whole landscape of Israel and Phoenicia changed. The Assyrian invasions of Israel and Phoenicia replaced the original inhabitants with the Babylonian races. Its interesting that this prophecy was given after the deportation of the Israelites, and the moving in of the Babylonians by the Assyrians, see 2 Kings 17:24.

The Church of God Commentary summarizes what happened during this time after the Israelites got deported, "a great many Babylonians were relocated to Syro-Phoenicia, including Samaria, even before the Chaldean Neo-Babylonian Empire. When Babylon finally fell to the Medes and Persians they set it up as their winter capital. Later, when Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, he too set up Babylon as the capital of Asia in his Greek empire. When his successor in the region, Seleucus, took over, he declared himself the king of Babylon and made Babylon his first capital. Soon he decided to move the capital to a new location north on the Tigris River and invited those of Babylonia to relocate there. Later, he moved his capital west to Antioch in Syria. In fact, he built 30 new cities throughout his empire, most of them in Syria, and the vast majority of Mesopotamia relocated to them. Thus, though Seleucid Syria was a Greek kingdom in name and language, it was predominantly Babylonian in fact—with large numbers of [Babylonian] Phoenicians of old Tyre and Sidon still dwelling along its Mediterranean Coast.

"Great numbers of the Babylonian and [Babylonian] Phoenician Syrians were later taken to Rome as slaves. Amazingly, in the centuries just before and after Christ, a massive change happened in the Roman population. Through wars and other socioeconomic factors, Italy's native population dwindled. Many of the local freeborn citizens who were left migrated to other parts of Rome's growing empire. At the same time, Rome brought in vast numbers of slaves, mostly from Syria. The first-century Roman satirist Juvenal wrote of them: 'These dregs call themselves Greeks but how small a portion is from Greece; the River Orontes [in Syria] has long flowed into the Tiber [in Rome]' (Satire 3, line 62). Over time it became popular to free slaves in Rome—and thousands upon thousands of freed slaves, who were skilled at various trades, displaced even more of the freeborn citizenry. So, as incredible as it may seem, Italy eventually became almost entirely Syrian or—in actuality—Babylonian and [Babylonian] Phoenician.

"As for the Syrians [Babylonians] who had not been taken from the Eastern Mediterranean as slaves, they gained notoriety as merchants and traders, carrying on in the tradition of the [Israelite] Phoenicians of old. Eventually, this lucrative pursuit would cause great numbers of them to spread throughout the entire Roman Empire—particularly through Spain, southern France, northern Italy, etc. (see Franz Cumont, Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism, 1911, pp. 107-109)—so much so that a great part of southern Europe is, in fact, Babylonian and Phoenician. Yet the center of modern Babylon is still Rome. So when God identifies Rome and its empire as Babylon in Revelation 17-18 (and as Phoenician Tyre in Ezekiel 27), He means what He says!

"Eventually we will see modern Babylon (or Tyre) and modern Assyria fused together into the same power (as indeed has already happened in times past, such as with the Hitler-Mussolini Axis in World War II)." (under article Isaiah 13, emphasis added). 

 Earnest L. Martin in his excellent article called "Race Change In Italy," provides great detail on this particular subject (see Article, "Race Change in Italy,"). Why is it that the language in the prophecies of Tyre and Babylon in Isaiah 23 Jeremiah 50-51, and Revelation 17 and 18 are the same? The Babylonians migrated into these places, the city of Samaria by the Assyrians, and later when Babylon fell, other Babylonians joined their brethren in Syria and Lebanon.

End Time Tyre

Isaiah gave a prophecy of end time Tyre, clearly speaking of end time Babylon of Revelation 17. The language is exactly the same.

Here is a chart comparing the scriptures:

"One IS, and one is not Yet Come."

The Bible predicted a 6th and 7th rise and fall of the Roman Empire. We are in the reign of the 6th, "one IS." Many people do not realize that even though the axis powers of Hitler and Mussolini are gone, the EU is still part of that reign. The reigns are portrayed as "mountains" (Rev 17:9-10). Some mountains are bigger, some smaller. They come up and peak, then they come down. The 6th mountain  rose with King Victor Emanule and William I of Prussia with the Union of the Kingdom of Italy and Germany. Then with Mussolini and Hitler it reached its peak during World War Two, and now it's on its way down, but it still remains under the name The European Union! The Pope also still holds power, “...temporal power [to the Pope] [and] was restored on a miniature scale (1929), by MUSSOLINI ..The Pope is again a Sovereign in his own LITTLE KINGDOM” (Halley’s Bible Handbook, pp.771-772, 782, emphasis theirs). This remains till this day. "Although there have been revisions, the Lateran Pacts remain in effect today. Italians are still bound by them..." (ibid)

Facts show that the E.U. was a German-Nazi idea. The Telegraph reports, "In his election leaflet for his Louth and Horncastle constituency, Sir Peter told voters: 'A single European currency was first proposed by the Nazi Reichsbank to Hitler at the time of Dunkirk as a means of perpetuating German dominance in Europe. Now it is EU policy.'" (The Telegraph, "Euro was Nazi idea, says Tory veteran," By George Jones, Political Editor 12:00AM BST 23 May 2001).  

The E.U. or Common Market was a plan "B" for the Nazi's in case they lost the war. EUropaische WirtschaftGemeinschaft as published in Nazi Germany in 1942 was their plan, and now is the foundations of today's European Union. (Read the Pamphlets Here).

The back cover states:

"Even as the Nazis invaded, their plans were drawn up - for the Final Solution, the harnessing of mineral wealth into vast Reich cartels and monopolies, and for the slave labor program. They dreamed of a 'Common Market', a post-war European Confederation within a common legal and currency system. And after the Nazis had surrendered, the planners lived on in the ministries of the Federal Republic, making their theories the cornerstone of policy" (emphasis added). Nazi's still reign today under the E.U.  The Bible says "One IS." Now, on the the downward slope of the Mountain, till eventually the E.U. and NATO will end, and a new Roman Empire will form, the seventh and final phase, "and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space" (Rev 17:10).

This is where the prophecy of Tyre comes in. This prophecy actually shows the time span between the 6th and 7th Head of the Beast! We can actually know the year when the transition will take place between the EU and NATO [potter's clay], and the Revived Holy Roman Empire [Miry clay].

As we have proved above Isaiah's Tyre prophecy is speaking of end time Babylon, the woman that sits over the 7 mountains. Isaiah's Tyre prophecy describes World War Two, its current reign, and what will happen in the future. Let's go through it verse by verse, and the latter end of this chapter will give us absolute proof of this fact!

"Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins." (v.4). Barnes interprets this verse accurately saying, "...the founder of colonies and cities. The sense is, ‘My wealth and resources are gone. My commerce is annihilated. I cease to plant cities and colonies, and to nourish and foster them, as I once did, by my trade.’ The idea of the whole verse is, that the city which had been the mistress of the commercial world, and distinguished for founding other cities and colonies, was about to lose her importance, and to cease to extend her colonies and her influence over other countries" (Notes under "Isaiah"). Basically after World War Two, European colonization came to an end. Colonialism was on the retreat, and many colonies received independence from France, German, Italy and England. "Nationalism and Decolonization. The end of World War II marked the beginning of an age of nationalist movements in the European colonies in Africa and Asia." (World Civilizations: Chapter 31: A Second Global Conflict and the End of the European World Order, by Peter Sterns).

"As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre." (v.5).  "They in this scripture is referring back to Tarshish or Japan, see also Verse 6. Egypt was lost first and that "pained" Japan when Her allies in the war lost Egypt and Libya.

"German field Marshall Erwin Rommel was racing toward Cairo and Suez, and the belief among the British military was that if Rommel took Cairo he would then swing north and link up in a pincer movement with German divisions that were annihilating a Soviet army of two hundred and fifty thousand in the Caucasus Mountains. If these two formidable German forces were to pair up with a Japanese army invading India, the entire area would be turned into an Axis-controlled region before the end of 1942" (Hiroshito: The War Years by Paul Manning, pp.66-67, emphasis added). Japan was grieved at the loss of Egypt. When Rome fell, the first capital of the Axis powers, they were grieved even more, seeing the end in sight. "Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle." (v.6). Japan in its defeat, and unconditional surrender in World War Two had the entire nation in mourning. The dropping of the nuclear bombs, the total destruction and massive deaths of the Japanese forced them to surrender to the Americans. Japanese militarism and colonization was over. Japan was lost.

Map of Greater Italia. The Italian Occupation of North Africa

"Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn" (v.7). Rome one of the most ancient cities of the world, and the Roman Empire sending troops to vast parts of the world setting up garrisons establishing Roman laws at the outskirts of the Empire such as Britain and Germania. Once a great city, and joyous city.

"Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?...The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. " (vv.8-9).  God was behind the fall of Rome in the Second World War. To fulfill his word, and to judge them according to their ways and abominations. He did this through his people Israel (USA & British). God says, "Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;" (Jer 51:20).

But notice, Tyre (Rome) is a "crowing city." Rome in the Middle Ages was the city that crowned the Kings of the Holy Roman Empire. The merchants and traffickers of Rome, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Venetians were all princes and heads of colonies all over the world and were honored by those whom they ruled. Verse 9 explains why European colonization came to an end after World War Two. God made it happen. The pride of the Europeans was an offence to God, and God brought their empires down and their colonies afterward became independent of their Mother countries and  "To bring their plans and purposes into contempt, and to show how unimportant and how foolish are their schemes in the sight of a holy God." (Barnes Notes).

"Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. " (v.10). God tells the Japanese colonists to return to their land seeking refuge, the mother country of Japan. There is no more strength. Japan had lost, it is devastated. Without the mother country, the colonies cannot survive.

"He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof" (v.11). Again, ""Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;" (Jer 51:20). Through Israel God broke in pieces the Axis powers. Destroyed their navies, their bunkers, and their cities. Barnes again says, "To stretch out the hand is indicative of punishment (see the notes at Isa_5:25; Isa_9:12)..."

"And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest." (Isaiah 23:12). "Oppressed Virgin" should read " [As] Lowth renders this, ‘O thou deflowered virgin,...''’ (Barnes; JFB Commentaries). Like in verse 10, (for the language is the same), the colonists of Zidon (the Venetians, the Spaniards, the Portugese etc...) were to go to Chittim. Chittim we know when this prophecy was given, is Modern day Italy. The Hittite Empire extended into Greece, and Italy and gave Italy its name “Cathay.” Daniel 11:30 speaks of the “Ships of Chittim.” These were the Romans. But when the prophecy was given, the Hittites were still there in Italy. God would not say “Romans” when the Romans did not dwell there yet. Also, since this prophecy is dealing with Europe, we know then that Chittim means Italy here and not China.

The sense of this scripture is that, they were to seek refuge in Italy. Mussolini was seeking refuge in the north. Mussolini lived in northern Italy until his capture and execution, on April 28, 1945, along with his mistress, Claretta Petacci, by military forces of the Italian Resistance. These European colonists were to return to their mother countries. European colonization was over. And even there " shalt thou have no rest." Why, because, "...those countries would also fall into the enemy's hands" (Gill's Commentary).  There was the "post war plight of millions of 'displaced persons''' (Illustrated History of Europe by Frederic Delouche, p.353), and the threat of Communism in Europe and the Cold War.

"Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they [Assyrians] set up the towers thereof, they [Assyrians] raised up the palaces thereof; and he [the Assyrian] brought it to ruin." (v.13). What an amazing prophecy of Europe. The land of the Chaldeans is of course Italy. As we have shown above, the Babylonians were taken by the Romans to Italy, then eventually became the dominant race, and took over the Empire. The modern day Babylonians are the Italians.  The Assyrians of course are the Germans/Austrians (read of booklet Germany in Prophecy for details). This could not refer to the book of Genesis. The Assyrian did not establish Babylon. Nimrod was a Cushite, not a Shemite, hence not from Asshur. Babylon he founded first, then went out and founded Assyria, "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

"He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

"And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

"Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

"And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city." (Gen 10:8-12). Verse 11 the marginal reading is the more accurate, Clarke's Commentary says, "The marginal reading is to be preferred here. He - Nimrod, went out into Assyria and built Nineveh; and hence Assyria is called the land of Nimrod, Mic_5:6. Thus did this mighty hunter extend his dominions in every possible way. The city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, is supposed to have had its name from Ninus, the son of Nimrod; but probably Ninus and Nimrod are the same person. This city, which made so conspicuous a figure in the history of the world, is now called Mossul; it is an inconsiderable place, built out of the ruins of the ancient Nineveh." (emphasis added). So it's reasonable to say that Isaiah 23:13 is NOT speaking of Genesis, but of another event that took place, the Assyrians founded the land of Chaldea, establish it, and then brought it to ruin.

Who was the Assyrian (German/Austrian) who founded Italy? Victor Emanuel II (Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso; 14 March 1820 – 9 January 1878) was the King of Piedmont, Savoy, and Sardinia from 1849 to 1861. On 17 March 1861, he assumed the title King of Italy to become the first king of a united Italy, a title he held until his death in 1878. The Italians gave him the epithet Father of the Fatherland.

He is of the "House of Savoy." This family descended from Humbert I, Count of Sabaudia (Umberto I "Biancamano"), (1003–1047 or 1048). Humbert's family are thought to have originated from near Magdeburg in Saxony, with the earliest recording of the family being two 10th century brothers, Amadeus and Humbert (see  "Savoy". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1913.). Magdeburg in Saxony, is the capital city of the Bundesland of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, is situated at the Elbe River and was one of the most important medieval cities of Europe. Emperor Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor, lived during most of his reign in the town and was buried in the cathedral after his death. Of course also with marriages with Austrians, Victor Emanuel is Assyrian through and through.

 

On March 17, 1861, the kingdom of united Italy was proclaimed at Turin, capital of Piedmont-Sardinia, in a national parliament composed of deputies elected from all over the peninsula and the 1848 Statuto extended to all of Italy. Victor Emmanuel became the new country's first king. Victor Emanuel had become a universal symbol of the Italian Risorgimento (the Resurgence), the movement pushing towards the unification of Italy. "The people was not" meaning, "had no existence as a recognized nation" (JFB Commentary). The Italian peninsula became known as a mere "geographical expression" as divided into eight parts: Lombardy, Modena, Naples-Sicily, Parma, Piedmont-Sardinia, Tuscany, Venetia and the Papal States under the control of different powers, said Count Metternich, Europe’s leading statesman in 1814. This meant that "Italy, unlike France or England, was not a nation. It was simply a group of principalities occupying a space known as the Italian peninsula. This was true until Italy became a single undivided nation in 1870" (From “Geographical Expression” to European Power, historians.org, emphasis added). Till the Assyrian founded it for them" as God says, King Victor Emanuel United and become its first King. Now the latter end of verse 13 says, "...they [Assyrians] set up the towers thereof, they [Assyrians] raised up the palaces thereof; and he [the Assyrian] brought it to ruin."

King. Victor Emanuel

When Italy was finally United in the 1870, the Risorgimento said, "Now that we made Italy, we must make Italians" (The History of Nations: Italy, p.169). This began the late-nineteenth century Risorgimento "nation building" in the Italian peninsula. "The main task now was to integrate and standardize institutions, so that the new kingdom could become a genuine nation state" (Italy: A Short History, Harry Hearder, p.198). Building projects like The Vittoriano in Rome, honoring King Victor Emmanuel and celebrating the unity of Italy. The decision to build it was reached in 1878, shortly after the king's death that year.

Now, the Bible says that "He [the Assyrian] brought it to ruin." At the end of World War Two, Italy was in ruins. It was all because of the Assyrian, Hitler. The Axis powers of Italy, Germany, and Japanese, brought the Allies together to destroy this axis, or else the whole world would be under Nazi control. Italy fell because Germany was the power behind it. Germany was the strength of Italy in World War Two. Any historian knows that. It is because of this German Italian axis that the Assyrian/German Hitler brought it to ruin. The Germans declared Rome an "open city" meaning the occupying power would no longer defend it, and was in retreat.

"Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste." (Isaiah 23:14). Again, the end of World War Two when Rome, and Berlin fell, God tells Japan to howl, for their strength, two-thirds of the Axis of powers collapsed.

Time Setting of Isaiah's 23rd Chapter

Now we come to the latter end of the chapter. This shows the time setting of this prophecy, the 6th and 7th head of the end time Beast. These remaining scriptures prove that this prophecy is for the events of World War Two, and the coming of the Beast.

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot." (Isaiah 23:15). In "that Day" means when Tyre/Rome is destroyed, from that time forward. Rome fell to the allies June 4th, 1944. This source writes, "Mussolini was liberated by the Germans...then set up as the head of a puppet German state in Northern Italy while German troops moved in and occupied much of the rest of the country. The new defense lines established by the Germans in the hills south of Rome were so effective that the allied advance up the Italian Peninsula was a painstaking affair accompanied by heavy casualties. Rome did not fall to the Allies until June 4, 1944." (World History, Volumes 1-2 By William J. Duiker, Jackson J. Spielvogel, p.747). Tyre or Rome, the Bible says shall be "forgotten"  for 70 years. The world has forgotten what? Verse 16 says, "Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered." She makes people remember, so the opposite must be true she made people forget as well. But forget what? What does singing songs mean in prophecy?

Jesus said about the evil generation in his day, "But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

"And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented" (Matthew 11:16-17). Preaching the Gospel is likened unto playing music. Paul said about the Gospel, "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

"But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Romans 10:16-18). The word "sound" in the Greek means, "phthoggos; fthong’-gos; From G5350; utterance, that is, a musical note (vocal or instrumental): - sound." (Strong’s # 5353). Jesus preach the Gospel to them, and they did not respond to it, they did not "dance."

Tyre will sing, but not the true Gospel, "another Gospel" which is not another, but a perverted Gospel of Christ, see Galatians 1:6-7. A version filled with the doctrines of men, and with the Babylonian Religion, masquerading as the Gospel, but really is the Babylonian Mystery Religion. She will sing as a "harlot." The image of a Harlot is commonly used as a metaphor for false religious worship (Isaiah 1:12; Ezekiel 16:15). This is what she is preaching. 

"...I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Rev 17:1-5). "...after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot." (v.15)  The "wine of her fornication" are her idolatrous doctrines received by the kings of the earth, see Hosea 4:9-13. She is arrayed with "purple" and "scarlet" symbols of of Sin, see Isaiah 1:18. Gold and Jewels means she is rich. The "golden cup" is the cup filled with wine, she makes nations to drink. That wine is her idolatrous doctrines, commandments and doctrines of men, not God. Her will of executing church law, and fulfill the will of the Pope. What she did in the past she wants to do in the future. Including merging with the state as in the days of the glory of the Empire. Isaiah goes on to say, "And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth." (v.17). A Church/State alliance between the Catholic Church and the State. She did it in World War Two, and she’ll do it again after the 70 year period.

Isaiah 47 speaks of the "daughter of the Chaldeans." She is an offspring of old Babylon which Vatican city is. This chapter speaks of the agenda of the end time "Lady." God says, "...for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms." She wants to be the church of the ten kingdoms of Europe. Catholicism to dominate the world and proclaim as she did in the middle ages "the Kingdom of God" on earth.

"I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke." (v.6) To subject end time Israel to his will and receive the mark of the Beast, meaning its religion and church laws. "I shall be a lady for ever:" (v.7). The church of Rome to endure and rule over Europe forever.

"...that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:" (v.8). To proclaim the kingdom of God on Earth, and the rule of the Pope as the "Vicar of Christ." To Commit fornication again, to marry, meaning a concordat with the Beast. A union of church and State once again. She will get into politics and ride the beast, steer it to fulfill its will, "

"The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

"And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

"And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." (Rev 17:9-12). She will become the "lady" of these kingdoms. Also on the agenda will be getting back her "children." The Orthodox churches and protestant daughters that came out of her. The Pope will want to unite all of Christendom, to lead and control it.

Jerusalem will also be on the agenda. The Apostle Paul wrote of the Man of Sin, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). To sit in the temple and proclaim " I am, and none else beside me." (Isa 47:8). After the 70 years, watch the Vatican move aggressively to achieve this and proclaim God’s kingdom on Earth. But the earth has "forgotten" all of this, How?

The Vatican has done quite a job of covering up what it did in the war, and caused all to forget its role in World War Two. "When World War II ended, the Vatican had egg all over its face. Pope Pius XII...immediately jumped to the other side as he saw the handwriting on the wall. General Eisenhower saved his neck. Pope Pius XII should have stood before the judges in Nuremburg. His war crimes were worthy of death. But the Vatican was pulling every string she could, and Pope Pius XII came out smelling like a rose.

"Too many people knew that the Vatican was responsible for World War II so it was time for a face lift. Time to start up smokescreens. The Vatican II Council came into existence and the mother of harlots put on a new make-up job. She wiped her mouth with her bloody hands and said, "‘I’ve changed. Now I like the Protestants. I’m not going to call them heretics any more, but separated brethren.’ She told the Protestants to forget the past. It was now time to push the love gospel. A time of healing. Just like in France and Ireland. Remember...?

"Bishop Fulton J. Sheen launched the anti-communist attack, and behold, like mushrooms, we saw anti-communist ministries popping up exposing the monster in Moscow.

"The Jesuits were busy on many fronts. The John Birch Society blossomed, aided by the Jesuits, because it served their purpose to have the attention of the Protestants shifted from the Vatican to Communism. At this time, Senator McCarthy was riding high. Publishers stopped publishing books exposing the whore and turned their attention to Communism. Some Christian publishers were bought out, others didn’t want to make a stand because it would raise eyebrows.

So the Vatican was succeeding in their goals. Their boys, planted in Protestant denominations, frowned on anti-Catholic sermons and discouraged them across the nation. We were locked into a cold war..."(Smokescreen, by John t Chick, Chapter 6: Cover up). Another good source is Hitler's Pope and The Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris. He writes, "The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars...In fact, the part they took in those tragic events has hardly been mentioned until the present time, except by apologists eager to disguise it." (emphasis added). Website Here  This will last for 70 years but afterwards, the Vatican will sing that tune once again, and be "remembered." They made people forget, they will make people remember once again.

Italian Empire at its Peak in 1940-41, including Savoy, Nice, Croatia, Dalmatia, Greece and Egypt (Italian Territory of Tientsin in China not shown). Rome was the Capital of this Empire. In Axis with Germany and Japan, Rome was a global capital with worldwide influence. The "Rome-Berlin Axis" became a full military alliance in 1939 under the Pact of Steel, and the Tripartite Pact of 1940 fully integrated the military aims of Germany, Italy, and Japan. At their zenith in the midst of World War II, the Axis powers ruled empires that dominated large parts of Europe, Africa, East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. The first Axis Capital, Rome fell in 1944. (Hakim, Joy (1995). A History of Us: War, Peace and all that Jazz. New York: Oxford University Press)

"Mountains, on which the woman sitteth."

These kingdoms are portrayed as Mountains. Mountains rise, peak, and then fall. Right now, we are at the 6th mountain, "one is," on the downward side. The E.U. and NATO will be no more, The "Potter's Clay" phase, see Daniel 2:41. The Rise of the Seventh mountain [the Miry Clay phase] will come. That marriage between the 7th mountain [the Beast] and the Woman will be a marriage between the Vatican and the Assyrian, [Germany/Austria] (read our booklet Germany in Prophecy for details). The Bible says Tyre will sing again as a harlot after 70 Years! Here, the Bible has just told us the time span between the 6TH AND 7TH HEAD OF THE BEAST! 

 As shown above, the Lateran Treaty allowed the Catholic Church to again commit fornication with the nations of the world. It was a church/state marriage. Rome is the city of the Pope!  It remains that way, even till this day. The Roman Catholic Church has been continuously identified with that city. As "The most definitive Catholic encyclopedia since Vatican II" declares: "...hence, one understands the central place of Rome in the life of the Church today and the significance of the title, Roman Catholic Church, the Church that is universal, yet focused upon the ministry of the Bishop of Rome. Since the founding of the Church there by St. Peter, Rome has been the center of all Christendom" (Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Encyclopedia (Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division, 1991, p. 842). The Catholic Encyclopedia states: "It is within the city of Rome, called the city of seven hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is now confined." (The Catholic Encyclopedia (Thomas Nelson, 1976), s.v. "Rome."). As it imposed its will on the 6th head of the beast in World War Two. It will do it again during the reign of the 7th Head of the Beast!

Concordats are "... an agreement between the Vatican and a foreign state. Since the Vatican claims to be a country, these accords are supposed to be as binding as international treaties ― yet also to exist on a higher plane and possess a 'spiritual' dimension: 'A concordat refers to a cordial agreement, a union of wills, the successful meeting of hearts and minds in Christian harmony.”' (Concordat Watch, emphasis theirs). As mentioned above, "The Lateran Treaty signed between Mussolini and the Pope was the beginning of the reign of the Pope and the Papacy to take its place among the kings of the earth once again. Signing concordats is an 'old practice of making agreements...with nations...'"(Hitler, the War and the Pope, Ronald J. Rychlak, p.35), Pope Pius XII wrote of this treaty, "...as a result of the Lateran Pacts....like a new dawn of brotherly union in religious and in civil INTERCOURSE had its beginning with these pacts" (ibid, p.39, emphasis added). By these treaties they commit fornication with the Kings of the Earth. Remember it was the Pope's power (the woman) that allowed Hitler and Mussolini to gain power, and it will happen again.

These 70 years, after Rome fell, it seems the power of the Vatican as a world power has been forgotten. We are at the downward slope of the 6th mountain, or reign. A 70 year downward slide. But when that ends, Tyre (Rome) will sing once again, and her power and influence will rise, and she will marry, the 7th King (Mountain), and she will as the scripture says in that very chapter, "And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth." (Isaiah 23:17). First, when God "visits," it means its time for Judgment (see Jer. 5:9, 29). Time setting is the same for the Harlot (see Rev. 17:1). She committed fornication before, and after the 70 years she will do it again. The marriage between the fascist axis powers and the Vatican is dead, she is now a "widow" (Isa 47:8). Her husbands are dead, killed in war. Even though the Nazi's plan "B" of the European Economic Union is in power now, its not fascist, its plan "B." Fascism is dead, and the Vatican has no union, nor has it signed a concordat with the E.U. Now after 70 years she will marry another. She will say, "I shall not sit as a widow."

Isaiah 23:17 is identical to the scripture in Revelation 18:3, 9! Describing the city of Babylon's downfall, she is killed by the 10 kings that was on the beast. These kings killed her, fulfilling the will of God, see Rev 17:16-18. These 10 kings are the ten toes of Daniel 2, and these make war with Jesus, Rev 17:14. Revelation 18 describes Babylon as its burning, and its burning because of the 10 kings, and it says, "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies....And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning" (vv.3, 9). So this can only mean its 7th and final resurrection of the Roman Empire if the 10 kings burn Babylon/Tyre and fight Jesus. So these latter verses of scripture in Isaiah proves there is a 70 year time span between the 6TH AND THE 7TH HEAD OF THE BEAST! When was the beginning of all this? When Rome fell and cease to be the capital of the Axis world power, June 4th 1944.

Notice the final scripture in verse 18, "And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing." This has never happened in History. Yet we see another scripture at the second coming of Jesus, and merchandise being "holiness to the Lord." In Zachariah 14 we see "the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one." (v.9). And, "In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar....Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite [MERCHANT] in the house of the LORD of hosts. "(vv.20-21). It says in Isaiah the merchandise shall not be "treasure up," meaning not for sale. The commerce will stop, and her merchandise will be for the use of worshipping God, "[it] shall be for them that dwell before the LORD." Zachariah virtually says the same thing. Pots and bells shall be holy to God, and there shall be no more "Merchant" (Heb. "a merchant, trader," see Job 41:6, Browns-Driver-Briggs). Nothing is for sale, but used for the use of worshipping God. This is at the second coming of Jesus Christ! Can there be any doubt of the time setting of this prophecy? Verse 17 describes the final marriage, the 7th head of the Beast, then verse 18 shows the setting up of the kingdom of God.

70 Year Time Span

So we have a 70 year time span from the fall of Rome to its rise once again, and the last resurrection of the Roman Empire. Rome fell and cease to be a world power on June 4th 1944. The 6th mountain is on its downward spiral and will come to an end after 70 years. A year in the Bible is 360 days in prophecy not 365 the way we count time. 1944 plus 70 years of 365 days is the year 2014. But its 360 days, so we must take away 5 days off each year which is 350 days. So we must subtract almost a year which brings us to 2013! 2013 WILL BE THE END OF THE 6TH HEAD OF THE BEAST! Afterward, the 7TH HEAD WILL RISE AND THE LAST RESURRECTION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE WILL REIGN!

Look at the trends that are taking place today. America is losing her strength along with the other Israelitish nations. The blatant disregard for God, and his laws. Morals are out the window, and the Israelite nations are on a downward spiral. The trend is the same in Europe. Immigration, heavy debts, social unrest, economic downturns, these will all lead to the end of the E.U. the end of NATO, [Potter's Clay] and the rise of the Holy Roman Empire [miry clay]. The Fascists are making a come back. Europe is turning to the extreme right. The Vatican is looking for a United States of Catholic Europe. A new Pope, a powerful Pope will take the reigns, and will propel the Papacy to a world power once again. Get involved heavily into politics and marry the Beast, get back her children, the daughters that came out her in protest, and commit fornication, sign concordats with the kings of the earth once again. All this in two years time! Are we ready? Are you right with God? Are you keeping his laws? Are you involved in the Watchman Work? The most important work on this earth! This is the mission of the Church, God willing you will get involved!
