2014-05-18 Apostate Israel follows the doctrine of Baalam (Revelation 2:14) in the first 3 ½ years of the tribulation period. They then follow Jezebel, which is Babylon, in the last 3 ½ years. Babylon forces Israel to follow her by killing those who will not bow down to the image of the beast. Israel must choose to either follow wisdom or Babylon.
