The
Whore
The
Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John on the Isle of
Patmos while He was
imprisoned
there. The Book of Revelation is a historical book and it is written
in historical sequence
from
the time John received the revelation until now. It is continuously
being fulfilled through history.
It
is also a book of signs, symbols and codes. The Angelic messenger
gave John this message and it is
our
duty to understand the code and recognize the system of the Anti
Christ.
Many
stay away from the Book of Revelation because it is not easily
understood and contains
some
hard teachings. If you are a pupil of history and theology, some
things written in the Book of
Revelation
should stand out like a sore thumb.
If
you were to receive a vision about the future, would you be able to
accurately describe some
of
the things you had seen, even if they had not came into being yet? If
someone in the 1800's seen a
vision
of a radio, how would they might describe it? Maybe a talking box?
This was one of John's
problems
also.
shapes
of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on
their heads were as it were
crowns
like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had
hair as the hair of women, and their
teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it
were breastplates of iron; and the sound
of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to
battle. And they had tails like
unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power
was to hurt men five months.”
Locusts
with faces of men, the sounds of their wings are the sounds of many
horses running
into
battle and there were stings in their tails. To me it's sounds like
John is trying to describe a
Helicopter.
Revelation is like this and is being continuously fulfilled since it
was first written in 96 AD.
I
am writing about only one chapter to see our most inmate threat to
the Church today.
Revelation
chapter 17. If you have any knowledge of history and/or theology it
will be plainly be seen
who
the lady is that is called “The Whore”.
A
whore is someone who engages in sexual acts for money or for some
other type of gain or
profit.
It doesn't have to be money in the literal sense. A whore could
exchange their immoral services
to
gain special favor such as a job, a promotion, a new car, a vacation,
etc.
They
exchange their immoral behavior for dishonest gain and both parties
feel good about
themselves.
Not only does the whore sin, they cause others to sin along with
them. This type of
behavior
leads to a sinful nature like adultery, covetousness, lust, envy and
pride. All the things that
God
is not too fond of in his children.
Jesus
says in Matthew 5:28, “But
I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after
her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Would
you want someone to commit adultery in their heart for something you
did? Some
women
love to dress provocatively in hopes of attracting attention from men
and in this day in time
possibly
to attract another woman. But in today's society it is commonplace
and considered the norm.
We
see it everywhere and on television. The television tells us what is
the norm in today's society. How
we
should act, dress and what we want or need to be a normal person.
In
many societies in the world, they know of the harm and the
snowballing effects of people
sinning
in their mind and in their hearts. Sometimes a simple show of the
wrist or ankle is enough to
cause
someone to lust after someone.
When
Jesus returns He will be returning for His bride. A bride in Biblical
tradition is pure, a
virgin
and blameless. He is not returning for the whore. Revelation 19:7,
“Let
us be glad and rejoice,
and
give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his
wife hath made herself ready.”
A
woman in prophetic scripture almost always represent a religious or
theocratic system. But
the
whore in Revelation is a tricky one indeed or should I say in deed.
She will cause MANY
to stand
in
God's wrath and judgment and we need to take serious look at her and
we are not looking for a literal
woman.
Let's
look at her characteristics.
1
She
sitteth upon many waters
(Rev 17:1). The Bible explains itself sometimes. In Revelation
17:15,
“And
he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes,
and nations, and tongues.”
The waters represent the people and the nations of the World
who
speak many different languages.
2
She
is whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the
earth
have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
(Rev 17:2).
Wine
in the Biblical sense means Spirit.
To
be drunk means to lose control of your normal behavior.
Fornication
is voluntary
sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other. In
other
words
Adultery. Adultery is when someone commits fornication with someone
other than their spouse.
. In other words, The world will lose control
for having an adulterous relationship with this
religious system.
3
She
is arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and
pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication
(Rev
17:4).
Now
God is telling us what this woman (institutional) will look like.
4
And
upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The
Mother Of
Harlots
And Abominations Of The Earth
(Rev 17:5).
She
is a mystery. Mystery is define as something not understood, beyond
understanding,
profound,
inexplicable, of secretive quality or character.
5
Finally,
John
wondered in great amazement as he saw the woman drunken with the
blood of
the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (Rev 17:6)
John
saw this religious system had lost control from the blood of the
saints and martyrs.
The
Catholic Church and those who hold allegiance to the Papacy stretches
among many
nations,
peoples and languages. Ambassadors from the Catholic Church are in
every corner of the
globe
(Rev 17:1). In Rome (Rev 17:9) they have their own City-State called
the Vatican which is
considered
a nation that has it's own army and seats reserved for them in the
United Nations. They are
almost
always welcomed among the King, Queens and the leaders of the world
with seats of great
honor
reserved for them.
Kings
and the inhabitants of earth have been made drunk with the wine of
her fornication’s can
be
also found in the Old Testament Book of Daniel. Belteshazzar the
master of the magicians took the
vessels
of the Temple and poured forth wine into them and dedicated them to
the false worship of
pagan
gods and idolatry. This is an example of how the Catholic Church
disguise their teachings and
practices
of idolatry giving them names like Blessed, Holy, Sacred, etc.
They
have taken the mother of our Lord Jesus', Mary and attributed to her
all the admiration of
an
old Babylonian god called Semiramis, the Queen of Heaven and Mother
of God. They have turned
all
their idolatry and admiration into complex things by giving them
simple names and making people
think
it is just another Christian denomination. The Catholics will argue
that they are the original
Church,
they gave us the bible and have preserved the original teachings of
Jesus.
They
have elaborate ceremonies and go all out in their pageantry. They
pervert the true use of
scripture
as a cover to hide the old Babylonian teachings (Rev 17:5).
She
is arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls,
having
a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication (Rev 17:4). If you
have
ever seen Vatican fanfare then you are familiar with “The Greatest
Show on Earth”. Then you
know
that The Bishops, Cardinals and Pope are dressed in scarlet and
purple. If you watched the election of Pope Francis in 2013 then you
know, because we seen a wave of scarlet and purple in their
pageantry.
The popes vestment is covered with pearls, the mitre and the headband
is gold with precious
stones.
The Swiss guard who is in charge with the protection of the Pope, are
covered with scarlet and
have
gold maces. The Catholic Church is decked in scarlet and purple just
as the Angel said to the
Apostle
John in Revelation 17:4.
When
we think of the Golden Cup (Rev 17:4), we think of The cup Jesus
drank out of during
the
last supper. Some might call it the Holy Grail, maybe it's the cup
when we take communion. But it
is
a Golden Cup extended to all nations full of the Catholic Church's
abominations (doctrines).
John
wondered in great amazement as he saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints,
and
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. John is not amazed because
she is a beautiful woman, but
because
she is an religious institution who proclaims saving grace. If it was
the pagans who killed the
saints
and Christians, he would not be amazed and would expect that, he is
amazed because she is the
woman
who is claiming that she is the one true way to heaven and at the
same time is made drunk
with
the blood of God's people.
If
you know history, then you know the Catholic Church has killed
Christians and made more
Martyr's
than any other institution in the entire history of earth.
If
that is not enough, John tells us in Revelation 17:7-9, “And
the angel said unto me,
Wherefore
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of
the beast that carrieth
her,
which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest
was, and is not; and shall
ascend
out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell
on the earth shall wonder,
whose
names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the
world, when they behold
the
beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which
hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
John
tells us where she is located. If you know geography, then you know
that New York City is
called
the Big Apple and Las Vegas as Sin City. But Rome, where the Catholic
Church sits is also
known
as “The City of Seven Hills”.
The
Catholics has caused a lot of problems through her history and still
today some of her
problems
are mentioned in the news headlines.
God
tells His people in Revelation 18:4,
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come
out
of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues.” If
the
whore was a literal woman, then this saying would not make any sense.
I'm
sure Catholic's and their Leaders are good and well intentioned
people. But their teaching is
flawed
by a system out to destroy as many lives as it can. All we can do is
pray for them and hope that
they
not continue in their blind ways.
If
you get a chance to get on the internet, search the popular
commercial among Catholics called
“Catholics
come home”. It says that the Catholic family expands the centuries
and the globe, then goes
on
to mention all of the good deeds of the Catholic Church and “THEY”
compiled “THE BIBLE”. They founded the college system. They are
transformed by “sacred” scripture and “sacred”
tradition.
Jesus was the one who actually started their church. There you can
also see the scarlet and
purple.
Revelation
18:4 paraphrased also says, “Catholics come home!”
The
Catholic Church is not a divine institution but a human invention.
They have blood on their
hands
and darkness controls their Church.
