Identifying the Whore of Revelation 17 and the Other Anti-Christ Beast She Rides Upon

Click to go to our Home Page


 

Dear Reader, 

In Revelation 17, a beast is described as having seven heads and ten horns. There is a woman riding the beast. The beast hates the woman that is riding on it and the beast will burn her. Then God will destroy the beast with 10 horns. They have power together for one hour.  The woman riding on the beast is the Roman Pontiff. The beast carrying her is 10 powers. Both these entities, the Roman Pontiff, and the 10 powers who collaborate with Rome for a short time, and both control from a base of seven hills. Satan, as the dragon, gives power to the woman and the beast that carries her. The second power, the 10 horns, on the beast, are ten nations of Europe that are controlled by interests originating in Jerusalem in Israel. The ten nations represent the 10 toes in the clay and iron end-time kingdom described in Daniel 2.

 

1. 

And 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:

2. 

With 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.

3. 

So 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.

4. 

And 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:

5. 

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

6. 

And 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.

7. 

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.

8. 

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.

9. 

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

10. 

And 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.

11. 

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

12. 

And 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.

13. 

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

14. 

These 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.

15. 

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

16. 

And 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.

17. 

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.

18. 

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

 

Ellen White made the curious statement that we may have less to say about the Catholics at the end-time, and the following link is a huge hint as to why:

 

“There is need of a much closer study of the Word of God; especially should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before in the history of our work.  We may have less to say in some lines, in regard to the Roman power and the Papacy; but we should call attention to what the prophets and apostles have written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God.  The Holy Spirit has so shaped matters, both in the giving of the prophecy and in the events portrayed, as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hid in Christ, and that the Lord God of heaven and His law are to be exalted.  Read the book of Daniel.  Call up, point by point, the history of the kingdoms there represented....The light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last days. 

 

The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai and Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon come to pass.

 

Consider the circumstances of the Jewish nation when the prophecies of Daniel were given.

 

Let us give more time to the study of the Bible.  We do not understand the Word as we should.  The book of Revelation opens with an injunction to us to understand the instruction that it contains.  "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy," God declares, "and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." Revelation 1:3.  When we as a people understand what this book means to us, there will be seen among us a great revival.  We do not understand fully the lessons that it teaches, notwithstanding the injunction given us to search and study it. Testimonies to Ministers, 112-113.

 

The False Christ That Rules From the Seven Hills of Jerusalem

The False Christ that Rules From the Seven Hills of Rome

 

http://sights.seindal.dk/sight/1247_The_Seven_Hills_of_Rome.html

 

Both of the above factions desire to rule the world via the New World Order and both may rule from Jerusalem for a time. Both these factions are ancient rivals and they hate one another and both want to rule under the New World Order which will soon come into full power. Notice the following quote from this link: http://www.theharrowing.com/martin.html

 

“Freemasonry and the Catholic Church have had a long history of antipathy. The Church has long been suspicious of secret societies not under its thumb, and the Masonic claim of being descended from the Knights Templar, condemned as heretics, surely has not helped. Though relations have softened in the years since Vatican II, Masonry is still viewed with much suspicion and Roman Catholics are still forbidden to be freemasons. Even the “good” ones are scorned, much less the “Luciferians”. So how is [it] that members of the Vatican elite could be associated with entities like P2, the infamous lodge involved in the Vatican bank scandals?”

 

In his book: The Keys of This Blood, ex-Jesuit Malachi Martin (who died in 1999), said that the goal of the Catholic Church is to run the world under the New World Order. However, that is also the objective of Free Masonry, the arch Jewish rival of Catholicism. Mainstream Christianity indicts Rome as the main player, but both powers are alike guilty of being antichrist which should be apparent to the discerning reader after studying each part of this treatise. The United States will instigate the National Sunday Law and then later the New World Order will implement and enforce the International Sunday Law.

 

The Nature of the Beast That Carries the Woman

 

The four parts of following treatise (Link below) should be read carefully and prayerfully. Save these links because this page you have just read will not be on my Website for long. When Christ refused Satan’s offer to give him dominion of the entire earth if He would worship him, who would it be natural for Satan to approach when Christ refused his offer? Christ’s first “chosen people,” of course. They accepted Satan’s offer and they control the earth today. They are as antichrist as it gets. But that is not to say all of them are. There are many good among them who have already chosen and many who will yet accept Christ and be saved.

 

I heard a Jewiss, Barbara Frum, here in Canada, interview a Jewish rabbi on her radio show called As it Happens. He told her that what is going on in Israel is not of God whatsoever. He was right! Barbara died a few years ago of cancer. Mainstream Christianity is totally deluded concerning Israel. Zionism is equatable to atheism.

Mysteriously, many think if anyone says one thing against anti-Christ, Christ hating Zionist Jews, that they must be anti-Semitic. By that logic, we must make come to the conclusion that because some sects of Jews hate Jesus Christ, who was a Jew, they must ALL be anti-Semitic, which, of course, is not true! By the same truth, just because one does not accept the values of Zionist Jews, does not make him/her anti-Semitic.

 

God bless,
