O Father, it is You Who I come to to receive knowledge and wisdom. It is knowledge and wisdom that I seek and it is You Who are the fount of knowledge and wisdom. All truth comes from You and all knowledge flows from Your being.

Give me the knowledge I require to fight against my enemies; my enemies who use occult sorcery against me. Let me know of their ways, that I may bring them into destruction for their wickedness. Hand me the keys of the occult and I shall use them to cut off all forms of sorcery; that this sorcery may never again be used against Your children.

O Lord, give me the knowledge I need to operate in my fullness, that I may bring much glory to You and Your kingdom through my works. Teach me how to glorify You, O Lord. Teach me to sing, teach me to dance, teach me how to compose music which glorifies Your kingdom! Guide my hand to write and I shall glorify You in all that I write.

O Lord, I desire to learn of the things which You have hidden from all those except the ones closest to You. Teach me of the hidden things and I shall be forever grateful. I shall use my knowledge for the glorification of You and Your kingdom.

O Lord, protect me from those who desire to do wicked things against me. Protect me from those who desire my hurt.

Protect me from the wicked individuals who conspire and plot against me. Protect me from those who wish to take my life. Send forth your guardian angels to keep me safe. O Lord, be a shield about me and be my high tower, that the enemy shall not prevail against me.

Cut off those individuals who spy on me and who mark my steps. Cut off those who eavesdrop on my conversation. Protect me from all sorcery which the wicked casts against me.

O Lord, let my enemies fall into the nets which they have hid for me. Into that very destruction, let them fall. Let the swords of my enemies pierce their own hearts. Lord, send forth Your arrows to pierce the hearts of Your enemies. Cut off the wicked and send them into outer darkness.

O Lord, be my battle shield and my sword. Equip me with Your armour so that I may go valiantly into battle against the forces of spiritual wickedness.

Equip me with the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel, and the shield of faith. Let me wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. O Lord, teach me and guide me how to use Your word as a weapon against Your foes. Let me wield Your word as a weapon, that with it I may tear down demonic strongholds and fight against the principalities of darkness.

I am Your end times warrior, O Lord. Equip me for battle and I shall go into the world and fight against Your enemies who are the forces of wickedness in high places.

This is the identity of Babylon: Babylon represents every city and every person who follows in the footsteps of ancient Babylon by adopting the doctrine of the fallen angels. Throughout the Bible, we see that a group of people are defined by their beliefs. And thus, everyone who does not believe in the word of God inevitably adopts the doctrine of Babylon. Babylon is everyone who isn’t in Christ’s church. There are only two groups of people: the Church and Babylon; the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats; the children of God and the children of Satan; the saved and the unsaved.

Within the Bible we find the concept of “spiritual fornication”. This fornication occurs when someone accepts the doctrine of the fallen angels as truth. The Whore of Babylon is a whore because she has adopted the religious practices of the fallen angels. This all began in the Garden, when Eve chose to believe Satan’s false doctrine of “sin doesn’t lead to death”. Everyone who adopts the practices of the Whore becomes part of Babylon.

This is a spiritual principle within the Bible: a certain group of people is defined by their beliefs. If a group of people all believe in the same thing, they can be said to be one. This is the principle of personification: this group of people can be personified as one person. See Ezekiel 16 for instance, where Jerusalem/Israel is personified as a woman. This woman is defined by the shared belief of Israel; their shared belief in the God of Israel. Exactly as Ezekiel 16 describes, this woman becomes a whore when she fornicates with the lesser gods of foreign nations and peoples, namely of the lesser gods of the Assyrians and Egypt. To fornicate with a lesser god (that is, a fallen angel) is to accept their seed. The seed of a lesser god is their doctrine (their set of beliefs). Israel became a whore by adopting the traditions, customs, beliefs, and religious practices of the lesser gods.

The Whore of Babylon follows the exact same spiritual principles as these. The Whore represents the world at large (made clear by Revelation 17:15, 18:3, and 19:2) which has adopted the doctrine of the fallen angels (which is all doctrine contrary to the word of God). The Whore represents everyone who is not Christ’s church, for everyone outside the church has adopted the doctrine of Satan. This is the imagery of Revelation: the Whore is a woman who is a filthy whore who has committed abomination after abomination (hence, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth) while the Church is a woman who is a pure, innocent virgin. Jesus is going to marry the Church, while the Whore is going to face the wrath of God and be destroyed. It’s the exact same black and white symbolism as the wheat and the tares, the sheep and the goats, the righteous and the wicked, of good and evil. You are either for God or against God. You either belong to the Church or you belong to the Whore. The Church is defined by her belief in Christ and the Whore is defined her belief in the doctrines of demons. If you are not in the Church (defined by believing in the word of God), it means that you are accepting false doctrines, which means that you are fornicating with fallen angels. This means you belong to the Whore since you are partaking in her fornication (as in Revelation 18:3 and 19:2).

In Revelation 18:4, we read: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of [Babylon], my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” God is telling His people to come out of Babylon. This is a spiritual command more than it is a physical one: God is telling His people to separate themselves from the Whore; to stop practicing her false doctrines; to stop participating in her sinful practices. Revelation 18:3 and 19:2 make it clear that essentially the entire earth has taken part in the Whore’s fornication (that is, of adopting the doctrines of the fallen angels). And so, to come out of Babylon is to stop participating in the doctrines of the world and to follow the word of God instead.
