Podcast: Acts 8-13
Acts 8 through Acts 13. Learning what to preach about and learning who will aways oppose the message of Jesus Christ and how they operate to undermine the Gospel.
Mystery Babylon
The Book of Revelation has always fascinated. The book is a revelation of Jesus Christ, a revealing of the Son of God. Over the years I’ve enjoyed reading how Babylon the Great will be destroyed in one hour, almost immediately, and I’ve pondering her character as the goddess of trade and commerce and wealth; and the suddenness of her destruction.
Today I write on the whore — for what she is:
- “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? Rev 17:5-7
- And in her was found the blood of the prophets and saints and of all who have been slain on the earth. Rev 18:24
- [God] has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants [a]on her.” Rev 19:2
OK, here are some clues to the whores identity: this is what the whore does, she is: …

A Church . . . A Command Node for Taking Over a Civilization
- A church should not be a social club; it should be a command node for taking over a civilization — centers of excellence in promoting a Christian world view.
- A church should not provide religious branding for BLM, SPLC, and ADL.
- A church should be feared, it should not beg for friendship with Jews, Atheists, Muslims and Homosexuals.
- The church preaches another King, Jesus Christ, who is Lord over every government on earth.
- The church would never apologize for Europeans, who brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations; it should be their advocate and defender under our Monarch Jesus Christ.
- It is not possible for a church to apologize for the words of Jesus Christ: John 8:44, Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9, Matthew 23:33-34. If they do, they are Judeo-Christian and should be avoided.
- Jesus Christ is The Patriarch — he appointed no women as leaders of His movement, not a single apostle. A real Church embraces this; a Judeo-Christian social club apologizes.
- The Church abhors homosexuality — it is an inversion of the first chapter of Genesis. Social clubs with rainbow flags should be avoided, they are Judeo-Christian, not Christian.

The Chosen People
The Jews are not “God’s chosen people.” Some Christians criticize this position and rail against “Replacement Theology” as some kind of heresy. In fact, “replacement theology” is as legitimate as the replacement of Judas Iscariot with Matthias.
Judas Iscariot was replaced. Another man filled his ministry. His ministry and calling did not go away, but Judas did. Someone filled that gap. Judas is a type of the Jew, starting with his name, Judas, and linked to his town, Iscariot/Kerioth, located in the land of Judea.
Jesus Christ (God) himself called Judas Iscariot to the ministry — it was Judas’ calling and purpose. Jesus did not make a mistake when he called Judas. Never-the-less, Judas turned aside and went his own way and the disciples understood that he had to be replaced. So Matthias stepped into his ministry and took his place. Judas was replaced.
Gods intent to replace the ancient Nation of Israel was clear from its very inception — God himself told Moses to stand aside so he could wipe them out and start a new nation afresh from Moses. This replacement would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ — who was the fulfillment of both Moses (who willed to be sacrificed for His people), and from Him (Jesus), from which a new race would be born. That ancient nation was a stiff-necked and hard hearted people who always were resisting the Holy Spirit. Stephen encapsulates this in Acts 7 when he reminds them that they rejected both Joseph and Moses as well as killed the prophets and became the murders of the Righteous One.
Jesus Christ told the Jews that they would be replaced. He told Jerusalem that your house would be left desolate and cursed the fig tree (a type of Israel) with eternal barrenness. And in the parable of the wedding feast, those invited refused to come, and God replaced them with other guests. …
Whose Side Are You On?
Peter to the Jews:
Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, and you have now become betrayers and murderers of Him; Acts 7:52
Jesus Foretelling Of His Murder by the Jews:
And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise from the dead. Mark 8:31
Paul Says the Jews Killed Jesus:
For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all people,
