Isaiah, Chapter 47:
The Queen of Babylon
(This part of chapter 47 deals with the "Queen" as one of the traits to identify "Babylon" and the time of predicted disasters. It may predict that she will lose her job, her husband and children after the death of Princess Diana.)
(5) Sit in silence; go into darkness, daughter of the "Babylonians"! Never again will people call you "Queen" of the United Kingdom.  |
(The British State is symbolized by the "Queen" and ever since Margaret Thatcher British people had to suffer from the merciless greed of their ruling class)
Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke. (the financial situation of old age pensioners is often quite desperate, many of them have to rely on Social Security benefits, see 17:16.)
(7) You said, "I will always reign as Queen!" (The Beast cannot retire even though she is already over 70 years old, because the majority of the people would not accept Prince Charles as successor. Apparently Isaiah has foreseen this situation.)
But you did not consider these things (I have twice written letters to Buckingham Palace warning the "Queen" of disastrous predictions in the Revelation and Isaiah. These letters were ignored, see 2:21.)
or think how it all would end. (8) Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, "I am and there is nobody else like me. (an accurate description of the situation in Britain after the death of Princess Diana)
I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children." (9) Both of these things will happen to you in a moment on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. (In the past, the IRA has often made plans to attack members of the "Royal Family", see 2:23, 18:7.)
They will come upon you in full measure in spite of all the magic you use. (10) You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, "nobody sees me." Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you. When you say to yourself, "I am and there is nobody else like me" (The most common mistake understanding prophecy is not to consider fulfilment which is too terrible to believe in. With hindsight, it appears that Isaiah predicted the death of Diana and the subsequent abdication of the Beast/British Revolution.)
(11) disaster will come upon you, and none of your magic will stop it. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you never dreamt of (e.g. being identified as the Beast out of the Earth and maybe a cataclysmic disaster)
will suddenly come upon you ...
