The Crow Chronicles #6
‘The Winds of Change – USA Babylon’
By Stephen Bennett 23/3/2024
Storms and Whirlwinds in Babylon
This post is a continuation of the previous few blogs of the Crow Chronicles especially in regard to America. The Crow Chronicler has written that the USA is likened to Babylon in the scripture. Hollywood even made a movie about that recently, in the 2022 film Babylon, directed by Damien Chazelle. It explores the transitions and end of things in the up and down world of ‘LA LA land.’ Our writer also draws the analogy of a prophetic parallel between Israel and the USA; as Israel is increasingly attacked in these times, the same is and will happen in the USA, as we often see in the news and social feeds.
The writer also reveals the effect of the immense weight of hearing these things from the Spirit of God in this crazy season we are in on earth. This word he received speaks of supernatural storms and whirlwinds, natural and spiritual, which the Lord uses for His purposes to get the attention of the world. We all know, and can feel we are in the winds of great change on the earth right now, especially with all the events that have happened, and will rapidly escalate in the near future.
Babylon in scripture is a physical place in Iraq, but also a type and shadow of the whole world and its ways and systems. Is then, the Biblical Babylon in the book of Revelation, an accurate analogy of the nation of America? It certainly sounds like it is. It does reflect a complete end of that type of society and world we live in before the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
‘For in one hour such great riches came to nothing’ Revelation 18:17. ‘Thus with great violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. And no craftsman or any craft shall be found in you anymore. And the sound of the millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery ALL the NATIONS WERE DECEIVED.’ Revelation 18:21-23.
In these scriptures, the Bible prophesies clearly an abrupt end to the world as we know it. All our pursuits of comfort and wealth comes to an end to a value of zero. The whirlwind of violence swirls around and through that societal construct. The music industry is clearly shut down and silenced and every other creative craft you can think of, and you can safely say that includes the world of movies. The time of the words of the Lord shining in the world come to an end also along with the voice of Jesus and His Church; heralding a complete end of everything.
The time of the Gentiles (the whole world outside of the Jews and Israel). ‘For the day is near, Even the day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles’ Ezekiel 30:3 ‘And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Luke 21:14b. That is when it comes to an end.
It is a pivotal moment in human history; and it is clearly premised by the great elite businessmen of the world deceiving the whole planet by their sorcery. This comes from the Greek word Pharmakeia, where we get our word pharmacy, meaning the practice of the druggists, and everything from all psychoactives to poisons. This is all often aligned with ‘necromancy’; occultism and the spirit of demonic powers and satanic strategy. Have we not seen this immensely in the past few years of global changes? Substances mandated that kill, and poisons that permeate the earth through everything that pollutes, and is even sprayed in our food production. (Read more; my book Revelation – the Terrible & the Good, on ETW website a FREE pdf-ebook download).
It all seems so crazy and overwhelming, and no wonder the Crow Chronicler shares his familiar humanity with us, as you will read, when so taken with the weight of all this prophetic downloading, he ends up in a tepid bath (that no doubt was heated with bath salts intentioned to relax); a complete wreck, streaming heartfelt tears.
It’s is clear that the true Church of this era has to be strong and know how to live, navigate and be prepared for the testing and chaos that is coming on the world. ‘Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.’ Revelation 3:10.
What the Crow Chronicler saw and heard from Holy Spirit back in 2020, is that we are currently entering into that day and era of whirlwind and storm, which began in the human collision with a contrived global pandemic.
Since then, the world has accelerated into a new time heading toward an end. For the Church it has been one of preparation and prioritizing what is important. As we have seen, for some this can be overwhelming but now we must intelligently question and enquire. “What have I given my life to? How do I navigate this time? Where is it all heading?
We are certainly in an era of great spiritual war. Before you read what has been Chronicled, the following song may inspire you. I wrote this in the mid 80s, and finished and recorded it in the early 90s (you can see the story and video clip link in the description on Youtube). A prophetic song declaring Come Back to the Lord America; listen loud, on the link from stephen bennett music TV on Youtube. Have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying (Revelation 3:22). These are the signs of the times. May Jesus bring an open heaven over America and save many! ‘Jesus open up the heavens / let your glory let your glory fall!’

New Era - New Sequence of History
We are certainly now in the End-Times / the Last Days. The world as we know it will radically change and accelerate 2024+ (politically, economically, & spiritually). There will eventually be an ending to all of this, as clearly stated in the Bible (see Matthew 24 / Revelation 18). The rapid changes, precedes the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. The undoing of life as we know it will not be easy to accept for many.
However, in this time Holy Spirit will continue to be poured out on earth (Acts 2:17), people everywhere are, and will awaken to know Him. Young and old alike, activated by the Spirit to see, hear, dream, and prophesy with vision and revelation. Hence these Crow Chronicles; this includes strategies in what to do, prophetic warnings, specific things that will happen, and needed direction in how to respond to what God is saying, with all that is coming on the earth. We must strengthen our hearts and faith in these increasing difficult days; be encouraged, run and not get weary, and be in a positive faith-filled hope for our coming salvation in Christ into eternity.
The Crow Chronicler
I have repeated this in previous posts, but for those who are new to the Crow Chronicles, the prophetic writer is a good friend. He is an older believing gentleman; solid in faith for decades, highly professional and creative in business, and a family man all his life.
The past 8 years, he’s been captured by the Spirit of God in his dreams and visions, mainly in the night hours, with such clarity, about things he knew nothing about previously. He’s faithfully written down what the Lord shows him, and it has even been fearful at times to share with church leaders, people, family and friends, as it can sound crazy. As God shakes the nations in these last days, many will experience the ‘invasions of God’s Spirit’ in our lives. Hear the prophetic trumpeting of God in the last days as it is written. ‘I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations (Jesus)’ (Haggai 2:7).
My friend’s experience is not unlike a prophet of old; the Spirit of God invades his life and he has no choice but to listen, and obediently write what the Lord says. We partner with him in this series of blogs named, The Crow Chronicles. Why? We want to reach out and encourage the many in the world that will also be experiencing the newness of a growing outpouring of God’s Spirit (Acts 2:17). At this stage we still choose to honor the privacy of this God fearing man, and see where Holy Spirit leads.
The following is the full unedited text, received and written by the Crow Chronicler; an analogy of Babylon in America and the world, in the midst of the storms and whirlwinds of global change. Again it reads like a streamed apocalyptic movie, but again, like Revelation 18 and many other verses of scripture, let it speak for itself and inspire you to learn and be prepared…
Chronicle original text:
2020 04.27 **** 7:40am, 05.08
.I just read Jeremiah 31. After the horrors of the preceding chapters, chapter 31 comes as a respite, and an island of favor once again granted by the Father. It is as the rising sunlight of hope breaking thru the blackened clouds of war and destruction. It is as when birds and animals return to their fire-blackened homes within the charred forest. But it is OF HOPE and it is a present from the Lord for the waiting ones.’
‘Throughout Jeremiah, I have seen “judah, and jerusalem” prophetically as the United States. But now, I suddenly feel that the U.S. is also but the physical, worldly, and material manifestation of the hardened hearts of the people of Israel- the “child of Israel”. It is but Babylon. It has grown and inflated, as the prideful and self-centered nature has seethed within their souls. It IS the nature of man that offends and challenges God, and that He WILL fight against and destroy in the last days.’
‘As the physical attacks will occur within the country of Israel, so will the broader attacks come against that soulish and stiff-necked manifestation of “her people”- they will come against America. This IS the heart of her Babylon- the greed, commercialization, and self-focused web that binds her to this world. (Then I clearly hear):’
“Destruction WILL come against you, O Babylon, for My wrath has no end of fury against you. And My people WILL flee her at this time. My children WILL be preserved and My light will, once again, rise and shine upon your fields. This is but a darkened web of blackened water that has invaded your hearts thru an opening left ajar within the gates of your walls. Seize this moment NOW, My sons and daughters of My fortunes and of My affections. For I LOVE your softened hearts and your loosened garments of pride. Rest now within My lands for you- and drink of the wines within the vineyards of My giving. Selah”
see also 2020 04.24: “blackened water”
‘You ARE My “Jeremiah” of this day, My son- and great is your calling of My affections.’
‘It is now 8:04, and He took me completely away from this world and has spoken in rapidity since I started writing. I have not stopped once to think or reflect upon the words or their meanings, but have only written as fast as my fingers would move. I’m lying in the now tepid bath a COMPLETE wreck, with eyes streaming and breath but a shallowed whisper from within me.’
‘(In some instances above, when I was re-reading what I had heard, I made the notes of explanation within parentheses.)
‘I need to look up parallels between Israel and America.’
Walter Brueggemann: (link below)
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.kansas.com/entertainment/books/article1138688.html
Ron Lipsman:
So I wrote him:
‘Mr Brueggemann, My name is...(other details). I was led to you this morning after another of very frequent “downloads” from the Lord. For the past 4 years He’s woken me up between around 1am and 4am to talk to me 4 or 5 times a week- typically about stuff WAY beyond my pay grade, and in words that don’t sound like me. But..... (I’m typically not known as a “nut”)… starting in October, He’s been describing, in detail, about this crazy season that we’re in RIGHT now, and also soon to be entering. It feels CRAZY- but it’s happening all around us suddenly. Then He led me a week ago to re-read the Book of Jeremiah. Of course, I saw America on most pages. But this morning, He stopped me and gave me a very brief snapshot on how America is actually a manifestation of Israel’s pride and arrogance.’
05.08: (continued conversation from above):
‘We ARE as “Israel” in the Bible. We are a lost and wandering child of His fortunes and of His affections. We are His greatest joy and His greatest heartbreak. We ARE the children of the wilderness, and the nation of the deceived, to whom He calls. Awaken from your sleep, My children, and awaken your hearing to My voice. For I will NOT tarry for long, and My wrath will be upon you as a raging lion upon her prey.’
‘Awaken now and flee the streets of Babylon, and pronounce My glory and My mercy to the wandering vagabonds within you. For the tempest of My storm will be upon you, as will the flurry of My whirlwinds. As a mother with nursing child, or a man upon his roof- THIS is NOW the time of My decisions and the time of your hearing the voice of your youth. Tarry not in the lull between the waves, but seek now MY counsel and MY directions to you. For the winds of change are upon you now. Selah, My little lambs, and fall upon your knees before Me NOW, for GREAT are My victories before you. Selah’
Wow:
‘Note: see entry TWO DAYS later on 2020 05.10 about “dividing”, and then the riots, killings, fires, and looting that began on 2020 05.25 in the “streets of Babylon” across America, (referenced above).’
Blog Writer:
The Holy Spirit’s plans and strategies in the last days is an essential shift in the end-time Church. We must give our complete trust, and surrender to the will of God to walk by faith in every facet of life. We’re in a spiritual war unlike any time in history, and the ‘hidden Church’ is and has been, prepared in the crucibles of testing and chaos in the world over many years, ‘which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 3:10). To the point that we cannot only just rely on the paradigms of religious church organizations old or contemporary, as we’ve known them, for our relationship with God; some, even the pinnacle of the best, have proved extremely fallible as we all have witnessed. The last days Church has to move with the Lord and change…
There is also a new end-time sound coming from the Church that will permeate the earth reflecting this dynamic shift and helping release nations (more of that in a later blog; a message I have written, sang, and prophesied about for nearly 40 years).
As this one man has chronicled like no other I have ever met, it’s now obvious to me, that my friend’s writings and voice has been made ready with revelation for these days, and I’m sure, along with many others out there. I encourage you to pray, & seek God, so that you truly know Him and the truth of these times, and as this song says; ‘We’re raising a new sound of restoration / oh Lord / Jesus will be the desire of the nations / oh Lord / now is the time for Your glory to fall / to cover the earth once and for all / oh Lord’
(Now click link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyEyrOt-N_Y for the song Raising a New Sound by Stephen Bennett, blog author).
Final Thought
Blog Writer: None of us have been in the end of the end-times before! We must be ready, and be true sons and daughters of God, ‘led by the Spirit’ (Romans 8:14). The shifts and changes are accelerating upon us, and we all need to know how to navigate the chaotic and pressured times ahead. If you struggle, God has a family / church / company of people / tribe / a place where you’ll fit; ask God and he will show you.

As we say: More chronicles to come… as the crow flies…
Repeated Epilogue: It’s a New Era
In 2021, I wrote a blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world and in the Church.’ Things have never been the same since the pandemic, and will not be ever again… Slowly…a ‘New much needed Awakening’ has emerged in the world, but now in March 2024, it is rapid. Not just in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are informed and awakened to the lies, deceptions and agendas of this world, that were, and are still being enforced upon humanity.

End Time Writers
In 2021, God told me to start www.endtimewriters.com to help encourage a new breed of bold writers and creatives in this time. Since then I wrote a book on the last book of the Bible, called, Revelation - The Terrible and the Good. (Written in a creative, movie style, in the first person of Apostle John. See website with my 12 books, 8 available as FREE pdf-ebook DOWNLOADS as at this time we choose to ‘sow them’ to you).
Also check our previous blogs relevant to this piece; ‘Crow Chronicles #1,#2,#3,#4,#5’&‘Wake Up! New Normal? Really?’
Yes! We are in the Midst of Great Change
THIS IS IMPORTANT. God is gathering His believing people. If you are in a church / religious situation, and are experiencing or struggling in these following things: control, rejection, various abuse, not safe, not happy, being shut down, shunned, needing to conform to a culture without questioning. You can’t have an opinion that goes against the protocols of the movement or organization. To be truly involved and accepted you need to go through a series of conforming steps, that will change you to the culture’s ways. If it feels wrong and uncomfortable, wake up, and use your critical thinking; intelligently question things, and seek answers, don’t put up with these situations!
2 Corinthians 7:11 ‘In all things YOU proved yourselves to be clear in this matter’
Explore new possibilities, study and know the word, learn to navigate your spiritual life and relationship with Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit, relevant to the end-time world we live in now. If you lack wisdom ask God and He will make a way liberally… (James 1:5).
Always ask for wisdom in every circumstance. (Proverbs 8:9-11)
Always trust in the Lord first (Psalm 37)
The Holy Spirit, expressly says these things are for our time; take heed. ‘For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived’ (Rev 18:23). ‘And He (Jesus) said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.” (Luke 21:8)
World Deceived
The whole world will eventually be deceived by false religion and world leaders, all connected of one mind and purpose, who eventually give all their power and control to the demonic beast satanic system of world government (Rev 17:17). We cannot stop this from happening, as God Himself will actually allow it all; why? To get the full attention of mankind and give last opportunities for salvation, and to ultimately fulfil all His words of prophecy, then Jesus will return to earth to claim all that are His. It’s clearly time to be a part of the gathering remnant Church, to learn how to navigate life with your purpose, in the onslaught of a crumbling world system who’s time is short.
What is Your Life Worth?
Ask yourself, “What am I giving my life to?” “How do I navigate the future positively, in an ever changing world of chaos and deception?” “Do I really know the Lord Jesus Christ?” “Am I waiting on the Lord and following the Holy Spirit?” “Am I ready to be gathered?” “Did He really talk about an end of all things?”
The last question… is a loud yes… Jesus spoke much in the gospels about the end. If you are a Christian, the Bible says to be diligent, sober minded, prayerful, and watchful, knowing what is coming in the last days (Luke 21:36, 1Peter 4:7, 5:8, Rev 3:2).
You can’t turn away, it is important to be keenly aware, not living in fear or worry, but secure in your faith; anticipating that our salvation draws near, when Jesus will actually return to earth (Romans 13:11)!
Your life is inherently wonderful and valuable to the Lord and for impacting this world. If you ignore this truth about the end of these days we live in… you are ignoring the word of God. The words of Jesus about these end days, are in scripture to wake us up; give us signs, wisdom and understanding.
Is ‘normal’ coming back on earth? Not now. Follow the words of the Lord and you will find out… stay awake! (Joel 2:1, Matt 24, Luke 21).
Do you Believe?
I have heard Christians say, “I don’t believe in the end-times,” or “We don’t go there, it’s too negative and doesn’t help people’s lives in living their ‘best life.’” or “God is about love and He wouldn’t do that.” Oh really…? So we just read and believe the bits of the Bible that suit us, as if only some of the words are true? That is unintelligent, illogical, ridiculous and deceptive.
As the Crow Chronicle has said: ask yourself the question: “What type of Christian am I?” Here is a statistical fact; there are over 50,000 versions of Christianity on earth! No wonder people are confused; there is only supposed to be one… If you were the devil, where would you hide out the most? In your red latex suit with a pitch fork and horns? No, but in religion… as a false light, ‘and no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light,’ (2 Corinth 11:14).
Most false religions and cultic organizations (contemporary or otherwise), and the demonic jezebel spirits that drive them, abuse… (some brutally, often sexually). They deceive, dilute, rob, steal, control, punish, blind, merchandise, serve ‘god money mammon,’ and grip the hearts of seekers however they can; all in an attempt to keep people away from truly knowing the Lord; some not realizing they’re doing it.
Others are so subtle you can’t see it straightaway, some are obvious to the knowledgeable; the worst…look like Christian but they are not… some are just companies run by CEO’s that use you for their ends, in their fervor to fast track growth and take the world for Jesus. The percentage of deceptive leaven may be lower, but Jesus warns us to be completely aware of it (Matthew 16:6-12). Jesus saw right through the Pharisees Judaic hypocrisy, and the false doctrines of the day, and had no problem calling them out (John 8:44)!
The multi-religious confusion today, on every level, is a direct attack on humanity… for what is true, and should be spiritually normal and powerful. If you understand the Bible (and you can), the end-times are greatly spoken of; prophesied from the beginning to the last page.
It’s also a great inherent part of the New Testament gospel, for it’s the culmination of everything that God has always intended for humanity; the earth, the heavens and eternity.
It’s never too late to believe. Jesus said, “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3,7)… that is your awakening! Now we are in 2024 and the years are flying by, the normal as we knew it pre-pandemic ended… (the world was already spiraling out of control until then). So what is our normal now?
New normal has emerged as not normal at all! Yes… really; and we still have to get on with life each day… Holy Spirit is pouring out on all flesh; the Church is gathering, the question is, “What will you do?”

After-thought
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers” 1 Peter 4:7. Jesus said; ‘For the things concerning Me have an end’ (Luke 22:37b).
‘He (Jesus) who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”’ Rev 22:20.

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ‘But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a Church where you can grow.
