Birdcage Prophecy 2003- Mystery Babylon the great is fallen and is become the habitation of devils and the kings of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies, Revelation 18:2-3.- The Night Watchman

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drank of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies, Revelation 18:2-3.

Birdcage

L.C. Thomas

In light of the recent events in Iraq I felt it necessary to get this article out as soon as possible, because what you've seen unfold on the nightly news as of late is the beginning of what Nostradamus said would happen among the kings of Aquilon. The reason there have been no weapons of mass destruction found since the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, is because he was given the time he needed to move them into Syria by his allies in the United Nations.

This is what Nostradamus meant when he wrote in his Epistle to Henry II, the persecution of the Ecclesiastical folk (in Israel) will have its origin in the power of the Kings of Aquilon, united with the Easterners. This persecution (which began 3 years ago) will last for eleven years, or somewhat less, for then the chief King of Aquilon (the United States) will fall...Thereupon the third King of Aquilon (the Aquarian), hearing the lament of the people of his principal title (in Europe), will raise a very mighty army (of NATO forces)....After that Antichrist will be the infernal prince again.

This is what I warned you about America all the way back in Night Vision Three. France and Germany are the very heart of the Merovingian dynasty, which is the royal bloodline from where the Aquarian man foretold by the prophets of God will rise. It is a group of members within the United Nations, from this same bloodline, that tell the Russian bear in Daniel 7:5 to Arise, devour much flesh. This is why Russia, Germany and France led the opposition to a coalition built by George W. Bush in the United Nations Security Council. They were stalling for time so that Saddam's weapons of mass destruction could be moved into Syria because they didn't want them found in Iraq. That's because they were traceable back to the three countries I just mentioned, and I believe some evidence to this effect has already surfaced.

The third beast described in Daniel 7:6 has now begun to implement its plan to remove the United States from its position as lone world superpower in order to clear a path for the rise of the Aquarian man that everyone calls the Antichrist. Daniel described a single beast in verse six made up of four separate parts. These four parts represent the original third part of the stars of heaven that were mentioned in Revelation 12:3-4. I beheld, and lo, another, like a leopard (of royal European blood) which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it (as the fourth head was added). Three of the four heads on this beast will bring the fourth man to power, by first tarnishing the image of the United States in the world political arena, and then offering their man as a more moderate alternative. This will become more apparent as war escalates in the Middle East and the blame for it is laid at the feet of George W. Bush.

The illustration above is probably the most important symbol I've found regarding end time prophecies, because it is a giant symbol of the Canaanite storm god Baal. This symbol is rooted in star worship and was described by several prophets of the Bible, but never so vividly as it was by the prophet Ezekiel. When you read what he described below, there should be little doubt in your mind afterwards that Satan is mimicking the kingdom of God here on the earth. He is duplicating the likeness of the glory of the Lord in stone, and usurping it for his own.

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire (like the Sun) in folding itself...and out of the midst thereof the color of amber...Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures...And everyone had four faces, and everyone had four wings...they four had the face of a man...the face of a lion...the face of an ox...the face of an eagle...Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold...The appearance of...wheels...and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

And they went every one straight forward: wherever the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went...This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke, Ezekiel 1:1-28. The wheel in the middle of a wheel described by Ezekiel is as plain as the nose on your face in the picture of the Vatican above. As you will see later in the article, Satan has marked the earth with images stolen from God wherever he wanted to lay claim to territories conquered over the centuries. The image below from Pestilence shows you the trail he took while marking these territories off, that lead from the land of Egypt where he started 26,000 years ago, to the United States where he rules from today.

In quatrain C2 Q62 Nostradamus said of Saddam Hussein, Mabus will soon die. I must admit that when I wrote Aquilon at this same time last year, I never in my wildest dreams thought he would die so quickly. I figured he would at least put up a fight of some sort. And if by chance he is still alive and living in Syria he's not going to last long anyway, because as soon as the Syrian's and the terrorist organizations they harbor attack Israel with the weapons of Saddam, Syria will be destroyed.

I say this because a little horn comes up among ten others in Daniel 7:8 and proceeds to pluck up by the roots the first three horns mentioned in the sequence of nations in Revelation 13:1. Daniel 7:8 is saying that the United States, the little or youngest of the eleven horns, will disagree with the body of the United Nations of which it is a member, and move on its own to destroy three nations known in the Bible as Assyria, Persia and Babylon. Their modern names are Syria, Iran and Iraq.

We know today by what has transpired in the news recently, that these three Middle Eastern countries have been aided by certain other UN member countries within the European Union and Russia. And as I've shown you in my last three articles, what Nostradamus says next, is harmonized perfectly with the Bible's timeline for these events to take place. During this astrological supputation (from Pisces into Aquarius), harmonized with the Holy Scriptures, the persecution of the children of Israel will begin. What Nostradamus meant by saying that his writings were harmonized with scripture can be found in several places in the Bible starting with Micah chapter five below.

Micah chapter five says that just before the return of Jesus the people of Israel will be attacked by Syria, and the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people. The children of Israel are going to be banished from their land once again because they refused to listen to the Lord their God. Thus the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise up against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. And they shall waste the land of the Assyrian with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances there of. What I thought this verse meant when I wrote of it in Aquilon may not be the case after all. Last year at this time I thought that Iraq would be involved in the coming attack on Israel, which still may be the case, but only in the fact that it has supplied some of the weaponry that will be used by the terrorist factions operating out of Syria and Lebanon. What I believe Micah was saying now, is that Iraq would fall first and then Syria, with some Islamic stragglers being destroyed as they move into Syria to help from Iraq. This theory would also tend to agree more with what Nostradamus said in quatrain C2 Q62, because after Saddam is killed, there will happen, A horrible destruction of people and animals. Suddenly, vengeance will appear, a hundred hands, Thirst and hunger, when the comet passes.

Click on this link (http://cometography.com/current_comets.html) and it will take you to a list of comets that are currently visible in our solar system. There are two listed toward the bottom of the page (C/2002 Y1 (Juels-Holvorcem and C/2001 HT 50 (LINEAR-NEAT) that are of special interest to the quatrain above, because they pass nearest the Sun on their respective perihelion dates of April 13, 2003, and July 9, 2003. Nostradamus didn't specify in the above quatrain whether the comet he spoke of would have to be passing by the Sun, by the earth or out of the universe for this event to take place. But when you consider the events that are currently taking place in the Middle East, one can hardly dismiss the presence of these comets as mere coincidence.

For instance, if you watch the news at all, the eight principal men that Micah spoke of just met in France the first week of June 2003. And what the President of the United States unknowingly left the meeting of The Eight early to go do, is pull the trigger on World War III. The trigger as I've said many times is peace, and the Road Map to peace that he carries to Jordan with him has a clause in it that requires Israel to give part of Jerusalem to the enemies of God. As I said in Israel Be Warned, this is not a wise thing to do, because God specifically told the children of Israel in Leviticus 25:23. The land shall not be sold forever: for it is mine.

Now, I've made it perfectly clear where I stand on the apostles Peter and Paul and what I believe they did to the Lord. I think the evidence that I've presented on this matter speaks for itself. However, these men did hang around with the apostles that were loyal to Jesus, and being disloyal doesn't make you unable to learn. For that reason, plus the words used by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at the Peace Summit in Jordan on June 4, 2003, I find it hard to dismiss what Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

As you read the words of Ariel Sharon, please keep in mind that the words safety and security are defined as the same. Ultimately, permanent security requires peace, and permanent peace can only be obtained through security. And there is now hope of a new opportunity for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Israel, like others (of the seven), has lent its strong support for President Bush's vision expressed on June 24, 2002, of two states, Israel and a Palestinian state, living side-by-side in peace and security.

As I explained in Aquilon, I believe that Micah was referring to the United Nations when he said seven shepherds. Below you will find proof that I am correct in what I believe, not only about the United Nations, but the European Union and NATO as well. The symbols used by these organizations all originated in the Grand Cross of astrology above, marking them as the territorial domain of the Aquarian man who will rise to power in the last days to lead all three of these organizations.

You will remember the first image above on the left as belonging to the Canaanite god Baal in Desolation Row. As you can see above on the right, the symbol of NATO is a four pointed star burst as well that matches almost exactly the ancient symbol of the Palestinian/Canaanite god that derived his symbol from the Grand Cross of astrology.

As you can see above by the black arrows showing the direction of rotation, the wheel in the middle of a wheel turns one way, and the outer wheel turns in the other direction. You will also notice that all the host of heaven marked off their religious territory as well as the lands where they dwell with the stars of heaven. The twelve stars of the European Union are those of the Zodiac religion introduced to the world in ancient Egypt, and they are the same crown of twelve stars worn by Israel in Revelation 12:1. I say that because as you just read above, Ariel Sharon said that Israel, like others, is part of the seven.

As you can see in the pictures above, Satan and his followers have marked off all of the territory captured by them in the Old World, and have also laid eyes on the territory chosen by God for His people to gather in at the time of end. That is why the United Nations was located here on mount Ephraim in New York City a little over half a century ago. This is also why New York City will be destroyed at some point in the future, because God is going to begin separating the chosen among His people from the devils of old and their followers, which is why a voice from heaven calls out to the inhabitants of New York City in Revelation 18:4, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

For those of you wondering why I chose the colors green and red to use in the third set of illustrations above, it was for the following reason. I told you in Desolation Row that X abbreviates the word Christ. That's why December 25th, the birthday of the sun god is abbreviated Xmas. It has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus, and here is what the word of God has to say about this holiday that is celebrated by all Christians and their shepherds.

Hear you the word which the Lord speaks unto you, O house of Israel. Thus says the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with an axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They stand it upright like the palm tree, but it speaks not: it must be carried because it cannot move on its own, Jeremiah 10:1-5.

You just saw in the illustrations above the reason why Micah refers to the United Nations as seven shepherds. It's because the symbol sitting in the middle of the Vatican is the same symbol used by the United Nations, which has member countries on all seven continents. And if you think because you're Protestant that your beliefs are different enough from those of Vatican to save you from their fate, take a look on top of your Church.

The United Nations' symbol shows a world full of people in a cage. A world full of people who submitted themselves to a voluntary slavery that they don't even know exists. And if you think Daniel 2:35 says that the people inside this cage became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors for no reason, then you must have missed the part in Tainted Seed where I told you that Osirus was the ancient Egyptian god of agriculture. One of his symbols surrounds the bottom of the birdcage at the top of the article, which has nourished many souls away from God. And the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them.

The fact that religion and government will be one and the same again in Europe after the Aquarian comes to power is verified by Nostradamus in quatrain C2 Q69. The King of France (the Aquarian) with Celtics (Great Britain) at his right hand, Shall overcome any discord in his Great Monarchy: Upon three quarters of Europe, his scepter shall flourish, The temporal counterpart of the spiritual Hierarchy under the pontiff.

Revelation 17:12-13 says that the Aquarian will come to power when the leaders of Europe give their power and strength unto the beast by electing him Secretary General of the United Nations in the year 2,006. Once elected to the United Nations the leaders of the European Union will then give him control of NATO. In my opinion he will then proceed to ally himself with Vladimir Putin of Russia making the United States the political odd man out in world affairs. At that point America, O daughter of troops, you will be under siege just as Micah 5:1 said you would be. Daniel 11:27 verifies the alliance between the Aquarian and the Russian by telling us that both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

The fall of the United States from its lone superpower status is described in Isaiah 17:1-4 as well, as is the destruction of Syria and Israel. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. The fortress (that protected Israel) also shall cease from Ephraim (because of the role it played in betraying God), and the kingdom of Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of hosts. And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

As I've said in other articles, many remaining in the land of Israel in the coming days will starve to death. This is not only described in Isaiah above, but is explained in great detail in Psalm 102:1-10, which remains a prophecy in effect for Israel. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto you. Hide not your face from me in the day when I'm in trouble; incline your ear to me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin...My enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.

I would like to close with one more quote from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that he made in a news interview on Sunday, May 25, 2003, shortly after the Road Map to peace was accepted by the political leaders of Israel. The time has come to say yes to the Americans, the time has come to divide this land between us and the Palestinians. It's ironic that he would use these exact words in the interview he gave because Christians already have their share of the land, and Psalm 102:13 says, yea, the set time, is come. Psalm 102 is equivalent to the year 2,002 on Sun based calendars, and it doesn't become Israel's year equivalent to 2,003 on their Moon based calendar until September 27th of this year. And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon (New York City) came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath, Revelation 16:19.
