To see Revelation 17:1-6 without my
comments click HERE.
In the beginning of this chapter, John,
the author of Revelation, under the direction of the Messiah, was
shown the judgement of Babylon. John was taken away in the spirit
into the wilderness, the wilderness of course meaning a spiritual
wilderness covering the planet (Luke 18:8). John was shown a woman
that was adorned with all rare and precious things of the earth. This
woman of course is commonly referred to by many Bible scholars as the
“Whore of Babylon.” This particular woman is different in the way that she
is put in direct contrast with the woman called “Israel” which is
the Bride of Christ. This comparison can be seen by studying the two
passages that describe each as they are almost worded exactly the
same. The Whore of Babylon is in Revelation 17:1,3 while Israel (the
bride of Christ), is in Revelation 21:9-10. Both women if you read
carefully, represent groups of people and is not just one person. The
Bride of Christ are the true believers of Israel and the vision of
Israel is explained in Revelation 12:1 as a woman with the sun and
moon under her feet. On the other hand, the woman that rides the
beast and her harlots, represent the false religious counterfeit
systems that have perverted the true gospel message of the coming kingdom of Father Yahweh that will be restored here on earth.
The people of the world who choose not
to follow Yahweh's laws, described symbolically as this woman on the
beast, are also described as having a cup from which the people of
the earth have drunk and become mad with the wine of her fornication.
This cup is described in detail in Isaiah 51:17 and again in the book
of Jeremiah.
“Babylon hath
been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth
drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations
are mad.” Jeremiah 51:7
The Two Babylons is a book written by Alexander Hislop. In his book, he shows exactly how the Roman Catholic Church evolved from the worship of Nimrod and his wife.
I have read before in various books by
Bible scholars that the Whore of Babylon represents the Roman
Catholic Church. I believe that there is sufficient evidence to show
that the Bible is directly talking about the Roman Catholic Church.
Although I believe this to be the case, I do not directly only blame
the Catholics for any misinformation put out in the name of
Christianity. Other Christian groups that pervert the Messiah's
Gospel of the kingdom, are equally as guilty as any misinformation
that the Catholics have produced. The easiest way to demonstrate this
is by the fact that the founders of the protestant movements came
directly from The Catholic Church. It's a fact that Martin Luther and
John Calvin both were both close to the Catholic church. As a result often times true
Protestant religions recite the unbiblical rendition of the Apostolic
Creed as the Catholics do and the Apostolic Creed represents a
universal one world church system which allows little difference
between denominations. So in Essence it's a false church that has
begot other false churches, or another way to say it is that this
whole system of churches that pervert the Gospel can be called the
church(es) of Satan. An example of the result when religions came
together in the past to create a universal church system as we have
today, was at the Tower of Babel in Genesis Chapter 11.
The nations that have drunk the wine
from the cup of this false universal system of Christianity that
covers the globe have engaged in relations with this woman and have
done things to true believing Israelites such as:
Prohibit the use of the actual name of
YAHWEH in public
Prohibit the actual Biblical worship of
Father Yahweh
Make laws defining religious beliefs
and dictate other forms of worship
Purposely make false systems of
religion
Herrass or flat out deny freedom of
religion to politically incorrect citizens
Impose false religions on conquered
peoples worldwide
Allow mingling of religious influence
with civil government
Deny men their inalienable rights
(inalienable means the right comes from God)
Fail to allow freedom of conscience,
right to property, and protection of life
They create laws that curtail the
agency of man
Require false teachings concerning
Christianity in the educational systems
Deny representatives of true
Christianity to teach or proselyte among the citizens
Fail to punish crime and protect the
rights of true Christians in the name of political correctness.
In the end it will only be the the ones
that follow the laws of Yahweh and do not become mad through
relations with the woman nor her harlots 1 John 4:4. I pray all will
follow Yahweh's laws as perfectly as they can. There is no person
that is righteous by themselves (Romans 3:10) and we must rely upon
the Messiah that specifically came to redeem Israel Matthew 10:6 and
Matthew 15:24. The world and all of nature awaits for his Israelite
children (Ish-ra-el meaning Ish-man, Ra-ruling, El or Eloheim-God)
meaning man ruling with God or man ruling under God's laws, to take
their proper place in ruling the world. Romans 8:19
In regards to the woman on the beast
and her harlots...
These are they which
were not
defiled with women for they are
virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whitersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men being the first fruits unto God
and the Lamb. Revelation 14:4
Praise the Lord!
