Who is MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT?


Who is ...THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH?

God's Church is a chaste Woman, a virgin awaiting her Bridegroom Jesus Christ.
.
The Bible mentions another Woman which is the opposite of His Church; It's a pompous, persecuting church that has since its beginning attempted to replace the Church of God. This church is an unfaithful Woman that has denied the Lord's authority by imposing her will above His will. She has fornicated (formed alliances) with the kings of the world to impose her supremacy disregarding the Lord's divine sovereignty.
.
The Whore of Babylon, the Harlot, the Woman that rides the Scarlet Beast are different names for the same counterfeit religious system: The Babylonian religion. Babylon was known to borrow customs from the cultures that it conquered in order to bring them under her influence; It was a hybrid religion with elements of all types of doctrines and rituals. Here lies the reason why the Bible calls her a Harlot, a adulteress Woman. This system in its modern form is exemplified by the Church of Rome, and her daughters (those churches that have broken away from her, yet, keep her doctrines of Sunday worship and immortality of the soul) the Apostate Christian Churches.
.
Here are a few Bible verses that describe this Babylonish whore or harlot, and how she leads to eternal destruction. She is a ditch or pit connected to the pits of hell. Brethren, be ye not blind, and allow yourselves to fall into, or allow others to drag you into this pit of perdition.
.

Can the blind lead the blind?

Flee her side immediately, your soul depends on it.

.
Finally, read what John the Revelator was lead by the Holy Spirit to write (to prepare us for her deceptions) about this impostor that claims piety while brutally persecuting the saints.

And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.

Ezekiel 23:17

For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

Proverbs 23:27

The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

Proverbs 22:14

And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

Luke 6:39


Revelation 17


1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2With 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.

3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4And the woman was 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:

5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

7And 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.

8The 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.

9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17For 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.

18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

13But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.



Isaiah 28:9-13.
