Erklärung von Ernst Simon:
Der Name Babylon kommt von Babel und bedeutet “Pforte Gottes” oder “Verwirrung”. “Dieser Name wird in der Heiligen Schrift angewandt, um die verschiedenen Formen einer falschen oder abgefallenen Religion zu bezeichnen. ... Die Macht, die so viele Jahrhunderte hindurch ihre Herrschaft unumschränkt über die Monarchen der Christenheit behauptet hat, ist Rom. ... Da diese Botschaft der Gerichtswarnung folgt, so muss sie in den letzten Tagen gegeben werden; deshalb kann sie sich nicht allein auf die römische Kirchen beziehen, denn diese Kirche ist seit vielen Jahrhunderten in einem gefallenen Zustand gewesen. ... Viele der protestantischen Kirchen folgen Roms Beispiel der schriftwidrigen Verbindung mit “den Königen der Erde”, und die Staatskirchen durch ihre Beziehungen zu weltlichen Regierungen, und andere Gemeinschaften, indem sie die Gunst der Welt suchen.” (E. G. W.; Großer Kampf / Großer Konflikt: Eine verworfene Warnung). Die Weissagung in der Botschaft des zweiten Engels findet ihre Erfüllung in dem Abweichen des abgefallenen Protestantismus von der wahren Lehre der Heiligen Schrift; dadurch, daß die protestantischen Kirchen und Gemeinschaften die erste Engelsbotschaft zurückwiesen, wurden sie völlig Babylon (geistliche Verwirrung). Der “Zornwein ihrer Buhlerei” ist Sinnbild der falschen Lehren, die Babylon die Nationen “trinken” lässt (14,8).
Explanation of Ernst Simon:
The name Babylon originates from Babel meaning “The Gate of God” or “confusion”. “This name is used in Scripture to denote the various forms of false or apostate religion. … The power that has maintained its domination over the absolute monarchs of Christendom for so many centuries is Rome. … Since this message follows the warning of Court, it must be announced in the last few days, so it can not only refer to the Roman church because this church has been in a fallen state for many centuries. … Many of the Protestant churches follow Rome’s example being unscriptural union with “the kings of the earth” and the state churches, by their relations with secular governments and other communities, by seeking the favour of the world “( E. G. W.; The Great Controversy - A warning rejected). The prophecy in the second angel’s message finds its fulfilment in the deviation of apostate Protestantism from the true teachings of the Holy Scriptures, due to the fact that the Protestant churches and communities rejected the first angel’s message, they were totally Babylon (spiritual confusion). The “wrath wine of their fornication”: is a symbol of the false teachings that Babylon lets the Nations “drink”(14:8).
Rev./Offb. 14,9 Und ein dritter Engel folgte diesem nach und sprach mit großer Stimme: „So jemand das Tier* (= VICARIUS FILII DEI, das Papsttum, 666) anbetet und sein Bild und nimmt sein Malzeichen an seine Stirn oder an seine Hand,
KJV + EL = And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any man worships the beast* (VICARIUS FILII DEI, the papacy, 666) and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
