Thread: Jerusalem Is The Whore Mystery Babylon The Great, Of Revelation 17.

Oh no, it is FAKE. Jerusalem is not The Whore Mystery Babylon The Great, Of Revelation 17.

1 - What is the mystery of the Great Whore of Revelation 17 ?

2 - What is the mystery of Babylon be linked to the Great Whore, or vice versa?

Actually, Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar is the roots of the Great Whore, and Babylon has nothing to do with the ancient whore of the Old Testament, the city of Jerusalem, called Aholibah-Eze.23:v.4- whose CITY was destroyed in 586 B.C.. In the current time, Jerusalem, whose CITY was AGAIN DESTROYED in the year 70AD, is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt-Rev.11:v.8-and has nothing to do with Babylon Revelation 17 as falsely claims the thread.

Where is the roots of the Great Whore? In Babylon around 2.600 years ago, a specific Babylon that does not fit with the FALSE thread posted, course. How could we explain this MYSTERY and proving Jerusalem is not the Great Whore Revelation 17? First of all we need to believe in the Word of GOD, not in imaginations and suppositions and, consequently, false interpretations. In fact the ROOTS of the Great Whore is in Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar, there the reason by which Babylon still appears in Revelation-Rev.13:v.2 and chap.17-even after around 2,600 years of Daniel's prophecy, even until this current time of Apocalypse.

Revelation 13:v.1-2 reveals:
(Revelation was written around year 95 A.D.)


V.1 - And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a Beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns 10 crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 - And the Beast(of sea) which I saw (looking back for ancient time, of course) was like unto a LEOPARD(Geece), his feet were as the feet of a BEAR(Medo-Persian), and his mouth as the mouth of a LION (Babylon of Nebuchadnezar): and the dragon -the MAN Beast of earth-Revelation 13:v.11-gave (will give) to the Man Beast of sea his Power, and his Seat, and great Authority, according Revelation 11:v.2 and 13:v.5.

(Interesting detail: Daniel shows in his description these three kingdoms as being represented sequencially first by lion, after bear, and third a leopard,
but John looking back to the past, he saw the inverse, from more recent to the oldest, i.e. leopard, and bear, and lion-here the roots of the Great Whore as IS WRITTEN in Revelation 13:v.2 and chap.17; very interesting).


Who first prophesied about the Beast of sea of Revelation 13 was Daniel. Dan. 7:1 to 25

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the SUM of the matters.

DANIEL's DREAM AND VISIONS
v.2 ... four winds of the heaven strove UPOM THE GREAT SEA
.>>>> Scriptures reveals "sea" - are peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues- Gentile peoples <<<<
v.3 ... four Great Beasts CAME UP FROM THE SEA (from the peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues), diverse one from another.

FOUR GREAT BEASTS-FOUR KINGDOMS-GENTILE KINGDOMS

verse.4 - The 1st Beast was like a lion; - Babylon

verse 5 - The 2nd Beast like to a bear; - Medo-Persian

verse 6 - A 3rd Beast like a leopard; - Greece


verse 7 - After this I ... behold a FOURTH Beast ...and THIS FOURTH BEAST HAS 10 HORNS.
(FOURTH BEAST - FOURTH KINGDOM-Check it in the verse 23)


v.8 I CONSIDERED THE 10 HORNS and, behold, there came up among them ANOTHER LITTLE HORN (the eleventh)- and, behold, in this LITTLE HORN were eyes like the eyes of MAN, and a MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS.

v.11 - I beheld then because of the VOICE of the Great words which the LITTLE HORN spake:

v.23 - The FOURTH BEAST shall be the FOURTH KINGDOM upon EARTH, which shall be diverse from ALL kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.--->The fourth Beast, the FOURTH KINGDOM is the Roman Empire- it lasted from 395 BC - 476AD -

v.24 - And the ten(10) HORNS out of this KINGDOM(the 4th kingdom) are ten (10) kings that will arise: and another horn (11th HORN) shall rise AFTER them; and he shall be diverse from the first (10 horns), and he shall subdue three kings.-the LITTLE HORN is the eighth- Rev.17:v.11

v.25 - And he (THE LITTLE HORN) shall speak GREAT WORDS against the Most HIGH (this scenary is linked with Revelation 13:v.2 & 5-6)-, and shall wear out the saints of the Most HIGH, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (three years and a half-Revelation 11:V.2-the FIRST HALF of week explicit in Daniel 9:v.27)

That said, the Thread: Jerusalem Is The Whore Mystery Babylon The Great, Of Revelation 17, IS FAKE.

THE TEN HORNS LINKED TO THE BEAST OF SEA

As all know, the prophecy is revealing about the fourth Empire - the dreadful and terrible, and strong Roman Empire- diverse from the prior Empires, Greek, Medo-Persian and Babylonian which were before it. As all know, the Roman Empire was specifically and genuinely a Gentile Empire, but there was also a completely ALIEN being or nation in the Gentile Roman Empire: It was Israel, the clay, descendants of Abraham, a specific nation created by the LORD-Isaiah 64:v.8-, the clay, the dry land. After the death of Solomon, Israel was divided in two Kingdoms-10 tribes-Israel Kingdom, 2 tribes-Judah and Benjamin-the Kingdom of Judah.

THE TEN HORNS LINKED TO THE BEAST OF SEA WITHIN THE FOURTH BEAST - THE ROMAN EMPIRE OF WESTERN
THE FEET OF THE FOURTH BEAST-PART IRON AND PART OF CLAY-DANIEL 2


v.41- And whereas thou sawest the (2) FEET and (10) TOES, part of potters'clay-(Isaiah 64:v.8), and part of iron, THE KINGDOM SHALL BE DEVIDED (DIVIDED IN TWO BRANCHES); but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet (10 TOES) were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as IRON (GENTILE PEOPLES) IS NOT MIXED WITH CLAY-ISAIAH 64:V.8- Jewish people.

NOTE/DETAIL: Until this moment or this current time (Jan.8,2022), iron didn't mix with clay yet. This prophecy will fulfill LITERALLY very soon. Get ready.

THE TEN HORNS - DANIEL 7:v.8

VERSE 8 - I considered the ten horns (10 horns-future ten kings), and, behold, there came up among them another little horn(eleventh horn), before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the ROOTS(the LITTLE HORN is the eighth- Rev,17:v.11): and, behold, in this horn (in this little horn-the eleventh horn) were eyes like the eyes of man (knowledgeable in Torah), and a mouth speaking great things.

There was a completely ALIEN being or nation in the Gentile Roman Empire: It was Israel, the clay, descendants of Abraham, a specific nation created by the LORD-Isaiah 64:v.8-, the clay, the dry land. After the death of Solomon, Israel was divided in two Kingdoms-10 tribes which rebelled against the house of David-Israel Kingdom, and 2 tribes-Judah and Benjamin-the Kingdom of Judah.


For this reason the prophecy reveals this mysterious APPENDIX linked to the Roman Empire as 10 other INDEPENDENT powers, 10 KINGS- descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, prophetically represented by 10 horns-ten kings-according 10 Princes as head of each tribe of Israel.

(
J
UDAH is another Kingdom separated from the nation or kingdom of Israel,
and is not accounted in this prophecy). By the way, in Daniel 2, Israel (the clay-Isaiah 64:v.8) is represented by 10 toes of the feet of the Nebuchadnezzar's estatue, part of iron, and part of clay, so shall the KINGDOM (the Antichrist's KINGDOM) be partly strong(this is the Gentile religious Monster of 7 heads,the MAN Beast of sea-the Pope-Revelation 13:v.1-10), and partly broken (this is the esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist MAN Beast like a lamb with two horns, a false lamb, the Beast of the earth-Revelation 13:v.11-18.)

That said, the Thread: Jerusalem Is The Whore Mystery Babylon The Great, Of Revelation 17, the thread IS FAKE.

Revelation 13:v.1- And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a Beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns 10 CROWNS (a CROWN for each King), and upon his 7 heads the NAME of blasphemy. VICARIVS FILII DAY

TEN CRWONS - Revelation 13:v.1
Crowns mean each Prince of the 10 tribes of Israel. Also UPON
(yeah,UPON) the 7 heads of the MAN Beast a NAME of blasphemy, that is the NAME THE MAN BEAST of the sea has upon his heads- that is VICARIVS FILII DEI-. Counting the number of the NAME that is UPON the 7 heads of the MAN Beast of sea, we have numbers 5-1-100-1-5-1-50-1-1-500.1.-

NOTE: The 7 heads of the MAN Beast are 7 mountains, and 7 kings, and Scriptures reveal that in this time of Apocalypse, 5 are fallen, one is, and another is not yet come: and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. THIS WILL BE THE LAST POPE, I BELIEVE HIS NICKNAME MAY BE PAULUS VII -


THE END OF THE TWO ROMAN EMPIRES- TWO LEGS OF IRON

The Roman Empire of Western. It lasted from 395 B.C.- 476 A.D.

The Bizantine Roman Empire lasted from 330 A.D.-1.453 A.D.

Both above kingdoms were DISSOLVED completely, both empires were politically and militarly DISSOLVED and THEIR INHABITANTS spread among nations, both empires were transformed into A SPECIFIC religious Powers until the currrent time,
and both will still last for more a little of time.

DANIEL 2:V.41
v.41- And whereas thou sawest the (2) FEET and (10) TOES, part of potters'clay-(Isaiah 64:v.8), and part of iron, THE KINGDOM -the Antichrist's Kingdom, SHALL BE DEVIDED (DIVIDED IN TWO BRANCHES); but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet (10 TOES) were part of iron,
and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but
they shall not cleave one to another, even as IRON (GENTILE PEOPLES) IS NOT MIXED WITH CLAY-ISAIAH 64:V.8 - Jewish People.

NOTE/DETAIL: Until this moment or this current time (Jan.8,2022), iron didn't mix with clay yet. This prophecy will fulfill LITERALLY very soon. Get ready. The Abomination of Desolation will be in the way very soon. Get ready.

You respond as if you are guided by the Holy Spirit and everybody who disagrees with your teachings aren't, blinded by your claims of church-ianity

Preterist teachings in 70AD fulfillment is a farce, not found in the scripture, it's that simple
Well, here is an example:
After king Solomon's death, Israel divided/split into two kingdoms, Israel and Judah, in approximately 930BC.

The book of Daniel was written around 600-530BC.
Its background of prophecy was manifested in the flesh as being the Antiochan
persecution of the Jews. [king Antiochus Epiphanes of the Grecian Seleucid Empire].

Solomon's Temple was destroyed in approx. 538BC.

The book of Zechariah was written around 518BC.
Zechariah 14 speaks of that division, and the FIRST appearance of the Messiah/Jesus.

SEE 1 Maccabees 1, written 100-63BC for the history of the Antiochan persecution of the Jews-
It was that king who committed the actual act of
"the abomination that maketh desolate" of the Jewish Temple, of which Jesus referenced in Matthew 24:15.

FACT #1: The prophecy in Daniel about the "AoD" Was fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanese in 145BC.
FACT #2: Once a prophecy has been fulfilled, IT CAN NEVER BE FULFILLED AGAIN!

However, prophecy that has been fulfilled, can be used as type and anti-type, which is exactly what Jesus was doing, BY POINTING to Himself.
He was making the point that the "AoD" was to
take place in the Temple of His own mortal body, as type and anti-type. He said to His disciples: "When YE shall see the abomination of desolation....stand in the Holy place...then let them which in Judea flee into the mountains."

The King In Macaabees 63BC nor Antiochus Epiphanies in 145BC fulfilled Daniel's AOD as seen in Matthew 24:15

The simple fact it's seen written in Matthew 24:15 roughly 100-200 years after your claim, proves your wrong that it's been fulfilled, as if Matthew was writing of a historical event, smiles!

^ The very act of Jesus' Crucifixion, was an abomination unto God, of which made Israel to be desolate of God.
I dare you to think that through.

I strongly disagree, your reaching for straw flying in the wind, Daniel's AOD is seen in Daniel 9:27 below

Daniel 9:27KJV
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The King In Macaabees 63BC nor Antiochus Epiphanies in 145BC fulfilled Daniel's AOD as seen in Matthew 24:15
So why did Jesus reference Daniel, if the Jews didn't know about the AoD, even though the Jews themselves did record it?
If the AoD never happened yet, then why do the Jews still celebrate Hanukkah to this day??
You have no answer!

But you do have alternative reasoning that is against the truth!

AGAIN, you are associating with the wrong "he" in that verse , and have gone completely in the wrong direction for understanding, of WHICH Covenant of God was being confirmed, and by Whom.

One prophetic week is 7 years.
John the Baptist's ministry was for 6 months.
Jesus' ministry was for 3 years, totaling to be 3.5 years, aka "in the midst of the week".

In the middle of that 70th week, was when Jesus was crucified, being the lamb of God, shedding His blood as the ultimate sacrifice for the sin of the world. His sacrifice caused the cessation of the requirement of animal sacrifices and all the Temple services.
However, the Jews did not see it that way, and continued their sacrificing of animals etc., showing no respect for the sacrifice of the Son of God.

Therefore, because of Jesus' sacrifice of Himself, all animal sacrifices and the Temple services were now become "abominations" in God's sight.
Because the Jews would not stop their works of animal sacrifices in the temple, God made an end to it, by allowing the Temple building to be destroyed in 70AD, and thus it shall remain to be destroyed,
"even until the consummation".

"The abominatioN that maketh desolate", is not the same as "the overspreading of abominationS", which was the continuation/extremity of animal sacrifices by the Jews.

Titus and Preterist 70AD fulfillment is a farce
So, the history of the Roman Titus, who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple building/sanctuary in 70AD is a lie, and the eyewitness account of Flavius Josephus concerning that event, is false also?

Since 70AD., we are now 1,952 years closer to the consummation.
Has the Temple/sanctuary remained in ruin?
Indeed it has, and it shall remain so, right up to the Day that Jesus is revealed from Heaven, in flaming fire.

"The abomination that maketh desolate"

Proverbs 6:16-19
16
These six things doth the LORD hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17
1. A proud look,
2. a lying tongue, and
7. hands that shed innocent blood,
18
4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
5. feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19
6. A false witness that speaketh lies,
3. and he that soweth discord among.

Which is the 7th abomination that God added in to His original list of six?

Who's innocent blood was shed for us all?
Yes! You DO KNOW the answer, and that it WAS an abomination UNTO the LORD.

So then in conclusion, I previously said:
"^ The very act of Jesus' Crucifixion, was an abomination unto God, of which made Israel to be desolate of God.
I dare you to think that through."
"The abomination that maketh desolate".

(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great.

The Levitical High Priest Dressing represents "The Woman", that is dressed in purple, scarlet, gold, and precious stones as seen below


(Revelation) 17:4KJV
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:

Yes "The Woman", The Levitical High Priest, Dressed In Purple, Scarlet, Gold, And Precious Stones
God spells it out pretty clearly for us tbh.
(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great.

Yes "The Woman", The Levitical High Priest, Dressed In Purple, Scarlet, Gold, And Precious Stones


God spells it all out for us to be honest, its pretty basic stuff.

Rev. 16:19 And the great city was divided(Jerusalem/Earthquake/Jesus) into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell{Jesus speaks victory} and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

So, God calls those He defeats via Jesus in Rev. 16:19 Babylon the Great. So, who are these people? Vial #6 tells us exactly who thy are, no guess work needed.

Rev. 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Thus God tells us Babylon is this whole deceived world, under Satan's rule. What an apt description. The word Babel means confusion, and here we see Satan confusing the masses to the point they try to defeat their own loving, caring God.
