Babylon
Walter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross and follow me
Stretch your hands and watch the waters
Stretch your hands and calm the sea
Stretch your hands, bring back the lovers
Stretch your hands and set us free
Stretch your hands and set us free
Blessed are He for He shall be king of Earth
Blessed are the poets who pray for Nazareth king, king of Heaven
Blessed are He, blessed are the kings
Take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross and follow me
Everyone run, Babylon run
Babylon run, run, run, run, run, run, run Babylon
Got to reach Mount Zion
Got to reach Mount Zion
And got to reach mount Zion
Take up your cross and follow me
Take up your cross and follow me
Babylon run
Babylon run
Babylon run, run, run, run, run, run, run Babylon
Crucify
Was crucified
And was crucified
In three days he rose again
Three days later, back again
Babylon run




Babylon run
Babylon run, run, run, run, run, run, run Babylon

First off, thanks for posting this.

Second, please don't take this wrong, Please take this as constructive criticism. We do a disservice to the message when we are unable to provide technical expertise that does not distract from the message. The watchers may not even be aware that somethings are not quite right, but is may be just enough for them to leave the presentation of the Word. How unfortunate if that happens.

Example 1, at least for the first third of the service there is a slight audio feedback (or loop) in the audio feed. If you have audience microphones, turn them down .

Example 2, when Professor Veith talks about slides that he is obviously showing to the people in attendance, the switcher operator needs to show those same slides to the web-stream. It makes for a better presentation for those watching, giving them a better understanding of the message.

Example 3, have a second camera showing the speaker much closer than a static wide shot.

If Stream Facts is not the one who recorded the service, and the local church did the recording, kindly pass this along to the church's pastor.

Again, thanks for posting.

Many Popes have been prisoners in the Holy See, surrounded by Masonic groups

My dearly beloved daughter, to My churches through the world I say this:
Know that I will always be with you at your side, as long as you proclaim My Most Holy Word.
To My Catholic Church, even though you caused torment as a result of evil sin, know that I will never forsake you, although you have sinned. But know this.
Your faith in Me, is not as strong as it should be. You do not love Me, as you once did.
All the wealth you accumulated, put a distance between Me, your Christ and Saviour and God’s ordinary children.
You scaled such lofty heights, that I could not reach up to you and offer you My Hand to salvage you from the rot within your core.
You were taught the Truth by My Peter, upon whose Rock you were built. And what did you do?
You built thick stone walls around you.
This caused a lack of communication with those whom you needed to feed with My Body and Blood, so that their souls could be nourished.
The respect required of you in administering My Most Holy Eucharist, was lost, when you demeaned My Presence.
When Vatican II declared new rules, they were introduced, by those evil Masonic forces, from within your corridors.
They cunningly presented new ways to administer My Holy Eucharist, which are insulting to Me.
Your so-called tolerant teachings proclaimed a series of lies, including the refusal to acknowledge the power of Saint Michael the Archangel.
He is the protector of the Church against Satan. Those forces among you knew this. This is why you stopped all prayers, requesting his help, before Me at Mass.
Then you perpetrated the biggest untruth, that Hell was not to be feared. That it was just a metaphor. For this lie, accepted as the Truth by many of God’s children, has meant the loss of billions of souls.
How you offend Me. For those humble and sacred servants among you, I ask that you go back to My Teachings.
Never allow riches to accumulate amongst you and think that they are acceptable in My Eyes.
Riches, gold and power accumulated in My Name, will be your downfall. You cannot profit from My Holy Word.
You have suffered because of the way you have offended Me.
Never think that I Am blaming the many holy popes who have sat in the Seat of Peter. Their Mission has always been protected.
Many popes have been prisoners in the Holy See, surrounded by Masonic groups, who do not represent God.
They hate God and have spent fifty years spreading untruths, about the Mercy of God.
Their works have led to the collapse of the Catholic Church.
This was not an accident. It was deliberately and cunningly plotted in order to destroy the faith of the Church, to destroy the homage of ordinary Catholics, to the One True God.
For this, you will now be cast aside into the wilderness. After Pope Benedict, you will be led by Me, from the Heavens.
Oh how you have made Me weep.
I call on all of My sacred servants, who know the Truth, to stand up and follow Me, your Jesus, to spread the Truth of My Teachings in humble servitude. You must find the courage and the strength to rise from the ashes.
Above all, reject the lies, which will shortly be presented to you by the false prophet.
He will merge the Catholic Church with other churches, including pagan churches, to become one abomination, a one world church without a soul.
Your Jesus

He is the most historically accurate teacher I have ever listened too. We do not want church joined with state.

Just found you from a recommendation off another channel. I learned more when telling us about the vatican lies, in your first 5 min, than most speakers say in an hour. When I hear an annoited message from Gods annoited men, it thrills me because I am growing as a christian which is the most important thing to me. I am glued to your every word and i am not bored or confused. God led me to you tonight, praise you Lord Jesus for protectinf me, speaking to me & being my best friend for over 60 yrs. I love you and hope the rapture is tomorrow. This world is torture now, I want to run into your arms.
