THE JUDGMENT OF THE HARLOT
REV. 17:5...AND UPON HER FOREHEAD WAS A NAME WRITTEN, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Mystery Babylon, the mother of all harlots will be judged. The woman harlot symbolizes the last state of apostacy in its evil form. The religious apostate woman concedes fully to the Antichrist ecclesiastical order of the confederated kingdom the ten kings who foster the Antichrist in his power commit fornication with the harlot–that is, they worship the image god and concede to its false doctrine. Rev. 17:3-5.
The woman, mystery Babylon, is not to be confused with ancient Babylon. Mystery Babylon denotes the ecclesiastical division of the confederated regime. Ancient Babylon fell under the indignation of God and will never rise again as a political power. The destruction of the wicked city of Babylon has become a perpetual desolation...(Jer. 25:12; 51:64).
The adulterous woman has filled her cup with indignation against the true Church and is full of the blood of the prophets, apostles, and saints of God. She has made all nations drunk on the wine of her fornication (false doctrine), and the harlot must now drink of the cup that God has filled with wrath and torment.
She has slain the saints throughout all generations, and will slay those who reject the mark of the Anti Christ, and those who refuse to worship the image god during the great tribulation.. (Rev. 6:9-11; 13:15-17).
The harlot depicted here rides in her majestic glory upon the scarlet-colored beast, the symbol of the confederated kingdom headed by the Anti Christ. The same ten kings who committed fornication with the harlot will kill her and burn her with fire. God will put into their hearts to do His will until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
REV. 17:16-17..AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH THOU SAW UPON THE BEAST, THESE SHALL HATE THE sleeper, AND SHALL MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED, AND SHALL EAT HER FLESH, AND BURN HER WITH FIRE.
FOR GOD HATH PUT IN THEIR HEARTS TO FULFIL HIS WILL, AND TO AGREE, AND GIVE THEIR KINGDOM UNTO THE BEAST, UNTIL THE WORDS OF GOD SHALL BE FULFILLED.
Some believe the harlot woman is the Roman Catholic Church, while others believe she is a symbol of all religions that reject the true doctrine of Jesus Christ. However, John viewed the Catholic Church in the vision as the woman Jezebel (Rev. 2:20). Remember I said some believe, I only know that it is the (False Doctrine.)
Margin Luther said the Pope was the Anti Christ, and that the Catholic Church was an harlot. We must consider the scripture which says that the woman is the mother of all harlots. The Roman Church is referred to as the mother church, but the woman harlot is a symbol of all harlots, and God knows that there are men in the land at this time.
The woman at the time of the rapture of the true saints is considered one of the wonders (Rev.12:1-6). She is not referred to as the mother of the man child, but she is the religious system of all churches. God will rapture a called-out people---those who have come out from among false religion. They will be a separated people -–made holy by the blood of the Lamb– and will have part in the first resurrection. (Rev. 20:6).
Christ will present the church unto Himself at His coming, and it will be without spot and wrinkle; it must be holy unto the Lord Jesus..(Eph. 5:25-27).
The woman harlot is not Israel, neither is she the woman who brought forth the man child. When the man child is caught up to the throne of God in the heaven of the clouds, Satan will make war against the man child. The archangel Michael and his angels will come to deliver the man child, or raptured saints. They will over come Satan and his angels by the blood of the Lamb (the blood of the Lamb had not been shed when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea). Satan will be cast out of the midair of the heavens, where he is now prince of the power of the air, upon the earth during the tribulation period.
Jesus Christ was never a Son of a Jew; He was the Son of God from heaven. (I Cor. 15:45-47). Mary was the mother of His earthly form, but He was begotten of God by the power of the Holy Ghost..(Luke 1:26-35). It is true that Jesus was considered a Jew in His earthly form, but He was the Christ. (John 4:9, 25-26).
Jesus came unto the Jewish people, born of a virgin who never knew man. The birth of Jesus was truly a miracle of God among men. He was incarnated in human form, yet only in the likeness of sinful flesh. It is true that the Jews, as a nation rejected Christ because the veil of Moses was upon their faces.
All that the Jews could see was the law of God, but they were blinded to the Son of God. Israel as a nation has never held the testimony of Jesus Christ, but many will accept Him during the great tribulation. Then only will they learn that the man Christ Jesus was and is the Son of God, and that them man they have accepted as their messiah is the Anti Christ..(Rev/ 7:3-8; 14:1-5).
Apparently after the man child is caught up to God and His throne, the woman-church system will be given political asylum by the Antichrist and his kings. She will be given protection from Satan who will be upon the earth. The church system will be great in the earth, for she has many daughters throughout the earth. This political protection could be brought about by the Catholic Church through the Vatican Ecumenical council. Bear in mind that the Antichrist will arise out of a political kingdom headed by ten kings, but the False Prophet could come from the religious system.
When John was carried by an angel into the wilderness, he saw the woman harlot as she sat upon a scarlet colored beast. The last we saw of he woman who brought forth the man child, she had been given two great wings of an eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness (Rev. 12:13-14; 17:3).
The woman was still holding her cup full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. God would never rapture a woman like the harlot to be the wife of His Son; His wife will make herself ready for the Rapture..(Rev. 19:7-8).
The wise virgins, or Rapture saints, have separated themselves from the apostate-church system and have joined themselves unto the Lord; therefore, they become one spirit. But they that are joined to an harlot are one flesh. Lukewarm church members will fail to make the Rapture; they will not buy of Christ pure gold tried in the fire.( Rev. 3:18). These are people that think more of things in the world than they do God, not looking for Jesus. Some people go up and make a confession when they are a child and don’t really know what they are saying, but they think they are ready, but in their life they never served God. People think just because they joined a church they are always okay, but they have to mean it from their heart and repent and serve God to be ready. Here is what Jesus said to the Laodicean church, Rev. 3:15-16, “I KNOW THY WORKS THAT THY ART NEITHER COLD NOR HOT; I WOULD THAT YOU WERE COLD OR HOT. SO BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT I WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH.” If you have questions about this read about the seven churches in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelations.
In the vision John beheld the judgment of the great sleeper that sat upon many waters. The waters are symbolic of people, nations, and tongues (Rev. 17:1-15). The Antichrist will rise up out of the sea, which will be the confederation of the ten kings (Rev. 13:; Dan. 7:2-3)
The harlot woman is decked with gold and precious stoned, but she is an abomination unto God, filthy in her covered sins. The woman is identical in many respects with the Laodicean church; the Laodiceans said that they were rich, and increased with goods, and had no need of anything; but they knew not that they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked..(Rev. 3:17)
The harlot woman, ecclesiastical Babylon, will be the first division of the confederated kingdom to be destroyed. Commercial Babylon will fall next under the seven vials of God’s wrath. This will be the end of the World Market, better known as the common Market. Political Babylon will fall at the hand of Jesus. the Antichrist will be cast alive with his False Prophet into the lake of fire (Rev. 18:1-24; 19:19-21).
