Oddly enough,
Cyrus the great is pictured as a falcon with sun disk like the Egyptian Sun God Amun-Ra whom I've been mentioning lately
Well, Cyrus was King of what today includes Iran , which has a strong cult-like devotion to the Babylonian Emperor, anointed one, and Messiah of the Jews. Iran is also represented by this symbol, which used to be on the Old Iranian flag (which oddly enough the current Iranian flag got it's design on Mussolini's birthday July 29):
It's the Lion in front of a Sun Disk. Mussolini identified as a Lion, was a Leo, conquered the Solomonic Empire which had a Lion on it's flag, and had a pet Lion named Ras.
If there is one other figure I admire as much as Benito Mussolini who wasn't born Divine, it would be Cyrus the Great. Something people that SusieDerkins (who repeatedly use the Scriptures to attack me an others) or those who promote Religious bigotry should be humbled and dumbfounded by, is Cyrus was a total Pagan King of Babylon that Scripture calls the "Messiah, "The Anointed One", and "King of Kings", all of which were titles of Christ.
Also, a lot of people think Babylon means something Evil. You will be hard pressed to find a single Jewish Prophet who did as much good as Cyrus, Pagan King of Babylon, anointed by God, instrument in the hands of the most high.
Babylon was not always an evil place. In fact, for it's time it was the most beautiful Civilized place in the world with more rights for women than anywhere else, more beautiful architecture and Temples, most talented in the arts for its time as well as trade and commerce, literature, science, education, medicine, and agricultural growth.
I've discovered a lot of Christians who label the Catholic Church the "Whore of Babylon" (and say people that die pagan or Buddhist go to hell) simply don't know the Bible from their own ass!
One of the reasons the "Whore of Babylon" was given the title "Whore of Babylon, Mother of harlots" was because of how many rights women had in Babylon it intimidated authors of Scripture who were all men. I met a lot of men that talk like the book of revelation, and they are all dumb as hell!
But anyway, back to Cyrus:
Isaiah 45:1-25 The author of the Book of Isaiah says that, although Cyrus (the King of Persia) does not acknowledge the one true God, the LORD will use him to set the Jewish exiles in Babylonia free and re-build Jerusalem.
"I will bring Cyrus to do good things, and I will make his work easy. He will rebuild my city and set my people free without any payment or reward." (Isaiah 45:13)
In the first year of his reign he was prompted by God to decree that the Temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt and that such Jews as cared to might return to their land for this purpose. Moreover, he showed his interest in the project by sending back with them the sacred vessels which had been taken from the First Temple and a considerable sum of money with which to buy building materials.
Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom he has taken by his right hand to subdue nations before him and strip the loins of kings, to force gateways before him that their gates be closed no more: I will go before you levelling the heights. I will shatter the bronze gateways, smash the iron bars. I will give you the hidden treasures, the secret hoards, that you may know that I am the Lord.
— Isaiah 45:1–3
But anyway, were I able to steal one World Government from the Antichrist, I'd call it "Holy Roman Empire of The Sun" or just "Babylon The Great"
of "The Anti-Antichrist" and I'd resurrect all the Pagan gods and goddesses, they would just have to ally themselves with Christ or be overthrown, supplanted, and replaced by Spirits that are allied with Christ, so that way everyone who prays to a Pagan Divinity prays to a Spirit that will lead them closer to virtue and not harm their souls.
The Model of my "Babylon the Great" would be Cyrus, King of Babylon, Messiah of Israel, Restorer of the Temple, and King of Kings, and I'd have the Hebrew Temple Restored in Israel like Cyrus did.
Obviously the Bible proves "Babylon" is not an evil word, and being a "Pagan" not necessarily a bad thing, or one of the greatest heroes in the Bible, whom the Scripture calls "Messiah", wouldn't have been a Pagan.
It's something so many bigots these days can't seem to grasp is that God repeatedly commands people to do the opposite of what he commands elsewhere, so much so that the Bible is a ridiculous manuscript to be using to judge and condemn people!
By all means read the Bible because there is a lot of wisdom contained there, but don't use it to judge and condemn people because it's full of contradictions.
