The verses in Revelation are referring to the judgment of the Great Whore which is not defining its character but rather her actions (sins). These sins for which the judgement is rendered give us additional clues as to the Great Whore These sins are though out the bible under similar names. 7 references to Fornication 1 reference to Blasphemy 2 references to abominations 1 reference to filthiness 4 references to blood of the saints (twice) blood of the martyrs blood of prophets 1 reference to drunken with the blood of the sints Other characteristics are sins iniquities glorified herself lived deliciously Pride (I sit as a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow) Third: The church of Jesus Christ has people participating in the activities (sins) of the Great Whore. But it specifies that only part of the church or rather individuals of the church itself are partakers - not the church as a whole. Further it states that the general population of the world is heavily involved (non-church goers as well as non christians). Revelation 02:18 And unto the angel of the church of Thyatira write; these things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass; Note: Out of the 7 churches Jesus is speaking to just one of his churches the church of Thyatira and not just to this specific church but to certain individuals in the church. Revelation 02:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Revelation 02:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Note: One of Jezebels sins was to teach Jesus servants. The Apostle Paul clearly states that a woman is not to teach 1 Timothy 2:12. Revelation 02:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Revelation 18:04 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. fourth: The name written on her forehead (Revelation 17:05). Mystery, Babylon the great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth 13 words, 65 letters Sodom Gomorrah (13 letters) Genesis Chapter 13 verse 13 has thriteen words. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly There are only three references to people that are exceedingly wicked. Sodom & Gomorrah know for sodomites And Jerusalem noted for being worse than Sodom & Gomorrah in Ezekiel Chapter 9 and again in chapter 16. Most people that have read the bible associate the reference to the “Great Whore of Babylon” to the book of Revelation. However, the Great Whore of Babylon is all through the bible, having its beginning in the book of Genesis. The book of Revelation is dealing with the judgment of the “Great Whore of Babylon”. But what is the “Great Whore of Babylon” and what is the sin that is judged? To understand, perhaps we should look at the life of Jesus. He was not recognized as the messiah when he was on the earth, because he didn’t fit the expected profile of what people expected the messiah to be. He wasn’t the conquering king that liberated the Jews and Jerusalem from the Romans. How could this man, that was obliviously not a warrior, be the physical liberator of the Jews? Yet, his teachings, (or idea’s) are with us today and He is revered as “The Son of God” by Christians world wide, while the Roman Empire is nothing but dust and old ruins. The phrase “the pen is mightier than the sword” is really saying that an idea is more powerful than a conqueror. So to understand the Great Whore of Babylon, and even the Anti-Christ, we must not make the same mistake of expecting a certain profile. Perhaps it is not an earthly organization that you can point a finger at and say here it is. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power (1 Corinthians 04:20). Or could we say in the kingdom of God, His word is power. Jesus said take heed that no man deceive you. It is not really the man that deceives you, but his words or his thoughts. Thoughts come and go we need to be very careful of which thoughts we accept, for if we don’t we could be deceived. Ideas or thoughts are the real power. We can, as Lucifer, accept a thought that I am equal to God, and that thought is sin, because it is contrary to God. The acceptance of that thought caused Lucifer to be cast out of the presence of God (Isaiah 14:13-14). We can all agree that if we think that we are going to fail at something, our chances of success are greatly diminished because we have accepted a thought of defeat. The thought, idea or belief that Jesus was raised from the dead and is Lord and Savior has the power to transform us into new creatures that will go to heaven and spend eternity with God. If one rejects that thought, he is not reborn and goes to hell. A single thought, or idea if you will, has on more than one occasion changed the world we live in. So one should not be surprised that the battle for man kind is in the mind. That’s why Jesus didn’t come the first time as a conqueror and physical liberator, because that’s not where the battle was. He came to give man a new thought that was far more powerful than simply overthrowing the, then, ruling Roman government. But we, two thousand years later, are still talking about what Jesus said. Now the revelation of the Great Whore of Babylon is realizing where the battle lies. It’s not a person or organization, per say, but a thought, an idea a belief. What could be such an important and powerful idea that the Apostle John marveled at? An idea that when cast down, all of creation would rejoice? In Genesis 03:16 KJV God said Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children (a curse for sinning); and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (a command of God). The revelation of the “Great Whore of Babylon” is the idea: “That woman is equal with man”. The prophecy about the judgment of the “Great Whore of Babylon” is referring to those who have accepted the idea that “woman is Equal with man”. The great city is a reference to a great collection of thoughts associated with, and based on new age ideas regarding women. “Babylon” is the law and the intellect of our time. “Waters” represent the peoples of the earth. “Kings of the earth” are the rulers and lawmakers of our time. Who with all their power and might don’t dare to contend with such an “idea”. In fact they prepare their laws to support and defend the idea to illicit favor of those support it. This thought, idea or belief and the collection of sociated thoughts that only become possible as a result of the primary idea “that woman is equal to man” are contrary to God.
