Religious Babylon.
The first aspect of Babylon that we are shown is the Religious system. The false prophet brings together all the religions of the world and this is revealed to us in symbolic form as a great prostitute – a great profanity of blasphemy and a violation of sacred things.
`Then one of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls came & talked to me,
saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute
who sits on many waters,...`
(Rev. 17: 1)
Prostitute – Heb. word, `chalal,` figurative meaning - to profane.
This `woman` is the United Nations philosophy of `saving mother earth.` They have spread their (demonic) value system throughout the world - eg. inclusiveness, (of all sexual activity and gender types), respect and tolerate all types of behaviour, (except Christian), etc.
The leaders of the world use this false religion to manipulate the people of the earth by focusing them on `saving the planet,` through the SDG`s, (Sustainable Development Goals). People become `drunk,` as they lose their sense of reality in thinking the planet needs saving and that they can fix it.
`..with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.`
(Rev. 17: 2)
We are given a symbolic picture of this `woman is sitting on a beast.` The angel explains what this means further on. The description reminds us of the `dragon,` in Rev. 12: 3.
`So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness.
And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast,
which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.`
(Rev. 17: 3)
This great prostitute, man`s religious system is very richly adorned and seduces by offering wonderful things, `a golden cup,` but actually it is filled with abominations & filthiness.
`The woman was arrayed in purple & scarlet,
and adorned with gold & precious stones & pearls,
having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.`
(Rev. 17: 4)
These are the works of the flesh – (Gal: 5: 19 – 21)
`And on her forehead a name was written:
Mystery, Babylon the great,
the mother of prostitutes (profanities) and of the abominations of the earth.` (Rev. 17: 5)
Instead of honouring God their Creator, people are deceived into worshipping the creation. Thus having no accountability they are given over to all manner of wickedness.
