According to your religion: If you are worshipping god that commands you to kill sinners & those that don't follow him, it means you are worshipping bloody & violent god = Satan = Devil = Lucifer = Shaitan = Iblis. Why I am saying this?
Well, God the Creator doesn't need you to judge his people, he created them and he does not need you because you are one of his creations. You are weak, foolish, make mistakes and a SINNER. How a sinner can judge another sinner or a person. Since when the Creator needs his creature to help him to judge people or to get help for other things? Never. The god that commands you to kill or to fight people in your books is the devil = satan, not God the Creator that Jesus spoke of.
I base my saying according to Jesus' word. Jesus came for sinner to save them trough repentance, not to command people to kill each others. Jesus said: How could a blind lead another blind, both will fall in the ditch? Moreover, how a sinner could judge another sinner, both have sinned? When the Pharisees were stoning an adulterer woman, Jesus told them, anyone of you without sin, let him trough the first stone. Then, they stopped stoning the woman and left.
Are there gods that have mighty power to judge and to create? No, there is one perfect and loving God only; He has power to create, judge through righteousness, He forgives through repentance; and He is the Creator of all. There are four different categories of people. The first category believes, worships, and obey God's the Creator. The second category invented its own gods ignorantly to worship. The third category doesn’t believe in God's existence. The fourth category is about the ungodly that know God and deliberately reject Him for been righteous and peaceful. These ungodly people invited an imaginary god to deceive the people with and to achieve their politic and evil personal objectives.
God's Law is in the Ark of the Covenant in His temple in heaven to judge people accordingly, not for decoration. Don't depend on eternal security to obtain “salvation” as some churches teach. You can't obtain salvation without obeying God's Law. Salvation is a status that shall be obtained after passing God's judgment. You can't be saved while you still under temptation on this planet earth. For more information about salvation, refer to page "Are we saved".
The temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of His testament was seen in His temple, and there were lightning, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail, Revelation 11:19.

The word Babylon is the Greek form of Babel, or the city of Babel, back to the ancient time in the book of Genesis. Babel is the capital city of Shinar. In the book of Genesis 11:4 to 5 is the tower of Babel, also it represents the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod = (Nemrod) the word Nemrod in Arabic means rebellious, which fits perfectly because Nimrod = (Nemrod) rebelled against God. Genesis 10:6 to 10. From the seed of Cush = (Chus) is Nimrod = (Nemrod) he began to a mighty one in the earth. And from Pathrusim, and Caluhim, out of who came Philistines = (Palestine) = (Philistim), and Caphtorim. And Canaan = (Chanaan) begot Sidon = (Zidon) his firstborn, and Heth. Etc.… Genesis 10:8 to 15. The village of Sidon and Tyre are at the borders of Lebanon, next door to Palestine in Israel. Tyre is a village where Shitte muslims of Hozb-allah dwell.
[The topography of Babylon is the descriptions of a city, or any city that full with a wickedness that ruled by evil king or president. The Ancients writers and historians, even the Prophets that are in the bible agreed to give this kind of descriptions about a wicked city, as “Babylon”. This description was established since the beginning of this world. The tower of Babel is written in the book of Genesis, this tower was built by Nimrod = (Nemrod), the word "Nimrod = (Nemrod)" in Arabic language means rebellious. The word "Bab - El", which means "door God" it means "God's door". The word "Bab" in Hebrew and in Arabic means "door" and the word "El" in Hebrew means "God". The name "God" in Arabic is "Elah" or "allah", therefore the word Babel is a Hebrew name and not Arabic because God's name doesn't mach correctly in Arabic, but mach perfectly in Hebrew. I can't say that the people during Nimrod = (Nemrod) spoke Hebrew or Aramaic because of the word Babel. We don't know, there is possibility, but we have more evidences.
The Babylonians are the
inhabitants of Babylon, a race of Shemitic origin that was among the colonists,
in the Cities of Samaria by the overwhelming Assyrians.
The great city Babylon,
in the Apocalypse gave a symbolical name about a wicked city that killed the
Prophets and the Saints that have the testimonies of the Lamb Jesus = (Yeshua) and his
people, in
Revelation 18:24.
The Bible gives us descriptions about the activities of that city that makes all nations drink of
her fornication,
Revelation 14:8.
This great city produces products that other nations don't have; it imports all kinds of
merchandises, products, and food that
can't produce in its land. However, other countries do have such products. The bible tells
us that this country buys gold, silver, precious stones, fine linen,
silk, wood, vessels, ivory, brass, iron, marble, cinnamon, and
odors, ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, (kitchen oil) fine flour
wheat, beasts, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves, souls of men,
Revelation
18:12.
This country is located in the desert; because this country can't produce or make all these products, merchandise, and food. This country is rich in oil, it sales its oils "petrol" to the world to get food, gold, merchandises and beasts to survive. This country or city can’t grow wheat and doesn’t have wood, animals and horses because it is in the desert. Therefore, the book of Revelation mentions that this country buy all these products because it doesn't have them.
The merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over this city for no man buys their merchandise any more because Babylon was buying all their merchandises, Revelation 18:11.
The Bible tells us that this city practice a religion that doesn’t relate to Jesus = (Yeshua) Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah). The people of this city killed and still killing the Prophets and the Saints that have the testimonies of the Lamb Jesus = (Yeshua) Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah), Revelation 18:24.
I personally believe that this country is an islamic country in the desert. The Islamic religion is based on the quran. The quran commands muslims to kill Jews and Christians because they believe in the trinity and because they believe Jesus was crucified for the sin of the world. Muslims call Christians blasphemers because of their believe in the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Muslims deny Jesus' death on the cross; they believe allah took Jesus to heaven before the Pharisees crucified him. Muslims believe that the Christians resemble to them that the person that was on the cross is Jesus. Muslims believe that the Christians are worshipping the fake Jesus, which is the antichrist. Therefore, the Muslims are killing the Christians.
But the Christians believe the other way around, they believe that the Muslims will follow the antichrist as the real Jesus Christ. For more information about the quran and the passages that command muslims to kill the Jews and the Christians, refer to page "Islamic verses" in this site.
The word Babylon is the Greek form of Babel, or the city of Babel, back to the ancient time in the book of Genesis. Babel is the capital city of Shinar. In the book of Genesis 11:4 to 5 is the tower of Babel, also it represents the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod = (Nemrod) the word Nemrod in Arabic means rebellious, Genesis 10:6 to 10.
The early annals of Babylon are full of barbarians. The native historian, with three dynasties' one of 49 Chaldean kings, who reigned 458 years; another of 9 Arab kings, who reigned 245 years; and the third 49 Assyrian monarchs, who held dominion for 526 years. The line of Babylonian’s kings is known before Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah), 747 BC.
[Note: Grecia = (Greek) = (Greece)]
“The Canon of Ptolemy” gives
us the succession of Babylonian Monarachs BC 747 and it lasts
for 461 years when the last Persian king was dethrone by
Alexander. On the fall of Nineveh, BC 625, Babylon became not only an
independent kingdom, but also an empire. The city as taken by surprise in 530 BC
the Prophet Jeremiah = (Jeremias) had prophesied, in the book of
Jeremiah 51:31.
By Cyrus, under Darius, and by the Prophet Daniel In the book of Daniel chapter
5, as intimated 170 years earlier by the Prophet Isaiah = (Isaias) = (Yesha'yahu)
= (Isaias) = (Yesha'yahu), in the book of
Isaiah 21:1 to 10, and as
Jeremiah = (Jeremias) had shown, in the book of
Jeremiah 51:39,
during a festival. With the conquest of the decay of Babylon, which has since
been a quarry from which all the tribes near have derived the bricks with
which they have built their cities.
The great city
has become heaps,
Jeremiah 51:37.
The book
of revelation tell us that the great city in the last days when the
seventh angel pours the seventh vial, the great city divided into 3 parts by an
earthquake, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,
Revelation 18: 1 to 10 .

1 - The habitations of the earth after the flood
Biblical references about the tower of Babel
The habitations of the earth are Noah = (Noe) and his seed, Noah had three sons, Shem = (Sem), Ham = (Cham), and Japheth. Ham's sons are, Cush = (Chus), and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan = (Chanaan), Genesis 10:6.
---------------------------
2 - Nimrod = (Nemrod) built the tower of Babel
From the seed of Cush = (Chus) is Nimrod = (Nemrod), this word in Arabic language means "Namroud", which means rebellious, which fits perfectly because Nimrod = (Nemrod) rebelled against God.
Cush = (Chus) begot Nimrod = (Nemrod): he began to a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: Here fore it said, Even as Nimrod = (Nemrod) the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land gone forth Asshur = (Assur), and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah. And Resren between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim. And Pathrusim, and Caluhim, out of who came Philistines = (Palestine) = (Philistim), and Caphtorim. And Canaan = (Chanaan) begot Sidon = (Zidon) his firstborn, and Heth. Etc.… Genesis 10:8 to 15.
The names of Noah's seed are the same name of the cities and the countries of the Middle East, as the "Philistim" "Palestine" or "Philistine", which is located near Israel. Canaan = (Chanaan) is the land of the Canaanites = (Chanaanites), which starts from the Neil River of Egypt to the Euphrates River, which include Israel, Lebanon = (Libanus), Part of Syria, and Part of Egypt.
---------------------------
Biblical passage: The whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the East that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to let us make brick, and burn them through. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said go to let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven: and let us make us name, last we be scattered aboard upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men build. And the Lord said, behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrain from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one anther's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth. Therefore, it was named Babel because the Lord did confound the language of all the earth, Genesis 11:1 to 9.
---------------------------
4 - The information in the following text in paragraph 4 about the tower of Babel is from Smith bible Dictionary.
The tower of Babel is mentioned one time in the book of Genesis 11: 4 to 5. It was build of bricks and slimes used for mortar it was probably bitumen. Such authorities as we posses represent the building as destroyed soon after its erection when the Jews, however, were carry captive into Babylonia, they thought they recognized it in the famous temple of Belus, the modern Birs-Nimrud. But the Birs-Nimrud as (Nimrod) thought it cannot be the tower of Babel itself, may well be taken to show the feasible shape and character of the edifice. This building appears to have oblique pyramid, build in seven receding stages, each successive one being nearer to the south western end, which constituted the back of the building. The first, second and third stories were 26 feet high each, the remaining four being 15 feet high. On the seventh stage, there was probably placed the ark or the tabernacle, which seems to have been again 15 feet high, and must have nearly if not entirely, covered the top of the seventh story. The entire original height, allowing three feet for the platform, would have been 150 feet, or, without the platform, 153 feet.
And Gog and Magog mentioned in the book of Genesis 10: 2 to 14, Magog is the grand son of Noah = (Noe), and from the seed of this grand son was Meshech = (Mosoch) and Tubal = (Thubal) = (Kabul) and Nimrod = (Nemrod) means rebellious. This word in Arabic language means rebellion. And his kingdom is Babel, as the Bible tells us that this kingdom rebelled against God and his people. From the generation of Nimrod = (Nemrod), and the seeds of Nimrod = (Nemrod) are, Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Caluhim, {out of who came Philistine} which are the Arabs, Gog and Magog also, Ezekiel = (Ezechiel) 39:1 to 4, Revelation 20:7 to 9. Ezekiel = (Ezechiel).

(The topography of Babylon is a description of a city, or any city that full with a wickedness, and ruled by a wicked king or president. The ancients’ writers and historians, even the Prophets that are mention in the Bible, agreed to give this kind of descriptions about any wicked city. Since the beginning, the tower of Babel is the first wicked thing or object that was built after the huge flood during Noah's era. Since then, every wicked city or act is named by "Babylon". The Babylonians are the inhabitants of Babylon, who were among the colonists planted in Cities of Samaria by overwhelming Assyrians.
Babel is the capital city of Shiner. In Genesis 11:4 to 5, it represents the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod = (Nemrod), Genesis 10:6 to 10. The early annals of Babylon are full by Bourses, the native historian, with three dynasties' one of 49 Chaldean kings, who reigned 458 years; another of 9 Arab kings, who reigned 245 years; and the third 49 Assyrian monarchs, who held dominion for 526 years. “The Canon of Ptolemy” gives us the succession of Babylonian Monarachs from before Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah) 747 and it lasts for 461 years when the last Persian king was dethrone by Alexander. On the fall of Nineveh, before Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah) 625, Babylon became not only an independent kingdom, but also an empire. The city was taken by surprise in 530 before Christ = (Mashiach) = (Messiah) the prophet Jeremiah = (Jeremias) had prophesied, in the book of Jeremiah 51:31, by Cyrus, under Darius, by the prophet Daniel In the book of Daniel chapter 5. (Note: Jeremiah is (Jeremias). As intimated 170 years earlier by the prophet Isaiah = (Isaias) = (Yesha'yahu), Isaiah 21:1 to 10, Jeremiah 51:39, during a festival. [Note: Isaiah = (Isaias) = (Yesha'yahu)] With the conquest of commenced the decay of Babylon, which has since been a quarry from which all the tribes in the vicinity have derived the bricks with which they have built their cities. The great city has become heaps. As the prophet, Jeremiah 51:37 mentioned. [Jeremiah = (Jeremias)] Also in the book of revelation tells us that the great city in the last days when the seventh angel pours the seventh vial, the great city divided into 3 parts by the earthquake, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God. This proved to us that the word Babylon used as a symbolic meaning "Great Babylon came in remembrance". When John saw the great city divided in three parts, he remembers Babylon, since then all writers named any wicked city by Babylon. Therefore, the tower of Babel is not the same as the Great City Babylon that is mentioned in the book of Revelation. The Tower of Babel probably built in that city, or John used it as a symbol to its wickedness.
---------------------------
6 - Prophecies about Babylon's destruction:
Note: The following scriptures explain Babylon's destruction, which is Iraq. The prophecy indicates that no one shall inhabit Babylon "Iraq". This prophecy is not fulfilled yet because people still living in it. The war in Iraq is escalating, [2003/2007]. The prophecy shall be fulfilling according to God's Word through the prophet Isaiah = (Isaias) = (Yesha'yahu). It is possible that God didn't mean Babylon of Iraq because biblically, a wicked city is called Babylon. Note ends.
The passage reads: 39 Therefore shall dragons dwell there with the fig fauns: and ostriches shall dwell therein, and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be built up from generation to generation.
40 As the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha = (Gomorrah), and their neighbour cities, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the son of man inhabit it.
41 Behold a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall rise from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall take the bow and the shield: they are cruel and unmerciful: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses: like a man prepared for battle against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, pangs as a, woman in labour.
44 Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall bear up against me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken against Babylon: and his thoughts which he hath thought against the land of the Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans): surely the little ones of the flocks shall pull them down, of a truth their habitation shall be destroyed with them.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard amongst the nations, Jeremiah 50:39 to 46. (Note: Jeremiah is (Jeremias).
Prophet Nostradamus (verse 3:99) says; [the conflict will be very sharp for both armies, Mesopotamia will fail in France. It means Mesopotamia is a country’s name or army. Note ends]

[Note: Chaldees = (Chaldeans)]
It is writing two times in Judith 5:7, two times in Baruch. The name Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans) = (Chal - deans = (Chal - daeans)
Note: Biblically, Chaldees or Chaldeans is a region in Iraq, but in modern days, this name is a group of Christian people ("kaldan" or "Kaldanieen" or "Kaldani") that live in Iraq also.
Biblically and according to personal objectives, the name Cain became Canaan. And from the seed of Cain came the giants of the old days and the daughters of men. Did Cain kill his brother? These biblical passages were added later to disgrace Cain and the Canaanites' race. Let's read part of these modifications, Cain killed his brother Abel and the spirit of Cain reincarnated after the flood in Canaan the grand son of Noah.
The land of Chaldees = Chaldeans is located in Iraq “Babel” near Mesopotamia, Genesis 11:28.
Modern people of Chaldees or Chaldeans in this era and during Jesus' era also are Christians. They are named in Arabic "kaldan" or "Kaldanieen" or "Kaldani". These Christians do live in Iraq, they have been persecuted by Islam for the past fifteen centuries,
The word “Mesopotamia” where Abraham dwelt before God commanded him to move to Charan = (Charran), Acts 7:2 to 4. In Genesis 24:10 the word "Mesopotamia = (Padanaram)" is (Padanaram) or (Padan-Aram) or (Padan) in the bible society of Lebanon says (field of Aram). Genesis 11:28. In Deuteronomy 23:4, Mesopotamia is in Syria according to the translation of the bible society of Lebanon. According to king James bible, reads: [he went to Mesopotamia into the city of Nahor], the word “Nahor” in Arabic means river. Mesopotamia is a Greek word meaning 'between the two rivers". The rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates which flow through modern Iraq. The Euphrates also flows through much of Syria also. In Numbers 22:5 the Euphrates River passes through Mesopotamia also. We do not know if the Syrian’s territory extended to Iraq during that era. Balaam is from Mesopotamia also, Deuteronomy 23:4. The children of Israel had battles with Balaam, God and Jesus hated Balaam, Jesus prophesied in John’s vision about the church of Pergamos of Babylon. The passage reads: [13 I know where thou dwell, where the seat of Satan is: and you hold fast my name and don’t deny my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slew among you, where Satan dwells. 14 but I have against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak = (Balach) = (Balac) to cast stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites = (Nicolaitanes).16 in like manner do repent if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth, Revelation 2:13 to16. Is it coincidence? No, it is not.
Prophet Nostradamus (verse 3:99) says; [the conflict will be very sharp for both armies, Mesopotamia will fail in France. It means Mesopotamia is a country’s name or army. Note ends]

1 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.
2 And I will send to Babylon [strangers] fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on every side in the day of her affliction.
3 Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans) [Babylonians], and the wounded in the regions thereof.
Note: in some translations the word "Chaldeans = (Chaldaeans) is [Babylonians].
[Note from the author of this site. This note has nothing to do with the author's text on this page: The Arabs name the crusaders "Salibian" which refers to the cross of Christ. The "cross" in Arabic language is "salib" therefore, the Arabs name the crusaders "Salibian" or "Salibieen" because the crusades use the cross sign on their uniforms. The Arabs consider the crusades Christians and the enemies of Islam. It is true that the European Crusades battled against the moslems = (muslims) in the Middle East to liberate the holy Land Jerusalem from the Islamic invasions in the eleventh century.]
5 For Israel and Juda = (Judah) have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
9 We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.
10 The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion = (Zion) the work of the Lord our God.
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
[Note: the word “Media” may refer to “Midian” or “Medes”]
12 Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon, Jeremiah 51:1 to 12. (Note: Jeremiah is (Jeremias).
