Fallen Babylon. The Roman version of Christianity we have today has fallen in certain ways. Firstly, it projects aversion to authority of the Holy Spirit. This goes back a long way. Church councils have pushed their own authority as church authority going back millennia, but have downplayed any possibility of the work of the Holy Spirit providing a heavenly revelation which might override them via spiritual gifts such as tongues with interpretation and true prophecy. Secondly, it is has too weak a protective layer when it comes to protection against wrongful assertions portraying Jesus as the Most High God. In the Gospel of John we find that Jesus asserted clearly that the Father is alone the Most High God, and that he was careful not to make this claim of himself. In insistence by the Roman Christianity, as found throughout the former Roman Empire in both its East and West arms, and resulting from its domination of Oriental Orthodoxy over the centuries, in one or another version of the multiple Trinity dogmas, there is a distinct ambiguity about what the divinity of Jesus means, which leaves too much room for people thinking of Jesus as not just divine, but actually thinking he is the One Most High God. Many Christian leaders, as a result, think it their duty, under this dogma, to proclaim that Jesus is God, deliberately allowing their hearers to insert into this claim the thought that Jesus might therefore be the Most High God for Christian faith. That is not the genuine Christian faith brought into the world by Jesus. Jesus is the Son of the Most High God—not the Most High God Himself. The Holy Spirit supports the truth of Jesus Christ in the hearts of true believers. This is with full heavenly authority, which can override any authority of merely human church councils. So in this sense Rome has failed, and is in a dogmatically fallen state, as has been the case for many centuries. So too with the derivative churches. It does still ostensibly stand, but as a leadership which cannot be corrected. It has only now to fall in more visible ways, like the apocalyptic depiction of the woeful great city prophetically called Babylon. Back to the real teachings taught by Jesus, and back to the heavenly authority of Jesus imparted by the Holy Spirit, so there can be a church which truly lives and believes as rightly represents Jesus Christ its Lord. To the glory of the Father, the one true Most High God.
