The Idols of America
The Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Freedom
Plus Other Icons that are actually "American Babylonianism"
by R.A. Coombes
Now let's see if we can organize this material into an easy to see chart to compare the scriptural description and put it side by side with what we know about the Statue of Liberty:
Statue of Liberty Traits
Clothing: Originally designed with Purple Robe & Jewels, gold edging by sculptor but due to budget and wear constraints this idea was dropped.
Golden Cup: Modified into natural gas torch.
Cup/Torch Contents: Smelly natural gas, initially.
Name: "Mother of Exiles" a term of reverence linked to immigrants coming to the USA and being saved from a bad future to a future life and hope. Original name was Goddess Libertas, a Roman goddess of 600 to 400 B.C., later Venus. Romans borrowed her from Babylon, initially just for her Liberty doctrine, but later absorbed the other doctrines of Ishtar.
Crown of 7 Spikes: To reflect the light of the sun-god Utu a.k.a Shamesh to each of the 7 continents of the world according to diary of Freemason-sculptor Bartholdi. Bartholdi's Freemason influence comes from Masonic doctrines that match the Mystery Doctrines of Ishtar/Inanna/Aphrodite/Libertas. This is referred to as the "Crown-Enlightenment" doctrine that was such a key part of the Mystery Doctrines of Ishtar Worship.
Goddess of Liberty/Freedom: Goddess Libertas - A Roman goddess of 600 to 400 B.C. later Venus. Borrowed from Babylon, initially, just for her Liberty doctrine but later absorbed the other doctrines of Ishtar and became Venus, Goddess of Love.
Looks east towards Babylon, Long Island and much of the entire NYC metro area.
Overlooks the waterway approach to the UN where the leaders of the world come to meet at least once a year.
Statue of Liberty & the Jews: Gazes out over the location of the largest concentration of Jewish people in the world, even more so than in all of Israel.
Description of the Woman of Revelation 17 & 18:
Clothing: The woman is robed in Revelation 17:4 with a scarlet and purple robe with gold edging and bejeweled.
Golden Cup: With gaseous smell like flatulence.
Cup Contents: "Bdelugma" in Greek as in "breaking wind".
Name: "Mother of Harlots" -- A title of holiness, or sinlessness referring to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar who held that title and who, by her mystery doctrines, did inhabit a priestesses body during ritual sexual relations for the removal of sins and spiritual life. Afterwards a coin-offering is given. Ishtar also called the Goddess of Freedom/Liberty and was matron goddess of slaves and immigrants.
Crown: Revelation 18:7 -- Sits as queen and queens wear crowns. Each of Istar's 7 spikes crown were to reflect the enlightenment of the Sun-god Utu/Shamesh to each of the 7 HORA (continents) of the world. This is the same Greek word found in Revelation 17:9. Hora means large land mass as in continents or mountains or deserts but NOT a hill. The Romans & Greeks never used "hora" for the 7 hills of Rome, they used the term bouno, the correct term for the 7 hills of Rome. Therefore, Revelation 17:9 cannot refer to Rome...that verse refers to the Ishtar/Libertas -- Statue of Liberty "crown-enlightenment" doctrine.
Goddess of Liberty/Freedom: Goddess Ishtar was also called the Goddess of Freedom or Liberty and was matron goddess of slaves and immigrants. Just one of her many "mystery" doctrines. She was also called "goddess of Love" and many other titles.
Woman is the "mega-city" called "Babylon the mega" or Babylon the "super".
Woman/City has "supervening authority around or over (the place or location) where the kings of the earth meet. See Revelation 17:18 and Jeremia 51:44.
The Woman & the Jews: Revelation 17:5 -- The Harlot of Babylon hosts the largest population of Jews just as in ancient Babylon.
