In describing Babylon the Great as a "harlot", this "woman" is seen riding on a "scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names" (Rev 17:3), which "wild beast that you (the apostle John) saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into...

Some have the belief that our Creator, Jehovah God's exercise of his foreknowledge is infinite and that he does foreordain the course and destiny of all individuals and is known as predestinarianism. Its advocates reason that God’s divinity and perfection require that he be omniscient...

The Bible establishes that only one person was called by the personal name Adam and is first used at Genesis 3:17 with the literal words "and to Adam", not "the adam" or "the human". The Hebrew word 'adam is noted as meaning "ruddy, i.e. a human (an individual or the species, mankind, etc)"...

The Greek word apostasia (G646) at 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as well as apostasian at Acts 21:21 means "a falling away, defection, apostasy; in the Bible from the true religion."(Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of New Testament, pg 67) These words come from the verb a·phi´ste·mi, literally meaning...

At James 1:27, James wrote: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."(King James Bible) James used the Greek words threskeia (G2356) meaning "religious worship, religion"...

What Isaiah was inspired to write is for our time, saying: "And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains , and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must...

The churches of Christendom, as the "weeds" or counterfeit Christians (Matt 13:25), have shown themselves as having "committed fornication with the kings of the earth."(Rev 17:2) For example, when a political election comes along, where are often found the voting booths ? Inside churches. When...

At Genesis 1:1, it says: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." The starry heavens will remain forever along with the earth. These are estimated to be billions of years old, with the formation of the earth being created at the same time as the rest of the "heavens". How can...

The churches of Christendom are the "weeds" or counterfeit Christians that Jesus said would grow in among the "wheat" or genuine Christians after the death of the apostles ("while men were sleeping", Matt 13:25) These have become part of the "world", dabbling in the political arena, playing up...

The 144,000 at Revelation 14 are those individuals chosen by Jehovah God "to be a kingdom and priests".(Rev 5:9, 10) It need be remembered that Revelation was written in "signs" and thus much of it is not literal.(Rev 1:1) It is written in such a way as to make it impossible for who are not...

The churches of Christendom are not "Christ's Church", for these have apostasized and that Jesus said would fully blossom after the death of the apostles, "while men were sleeping".(Matt 13:25) These have set up a clergy-laity class that the apostle Paul wrote of at 2 Thessalonians 2, in which...

The churches of Christendom are among those who are the "children" of the "mother of the harlots, Babylon the Great". Jesus expected the true religion that he established to become apostate or "fall away" from his teachings, by giving an illustration of this at Matthew 13. He said: "The kingdom...

In the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament), what was it that disgusted Jehovah God the most ? (see Ex 20:3-6; Deut 5:7) Why did God name the monstrosity "Babylon the Great" at Revelation 17 after ancient Babylon, exponentially being many times more than ancient Babylon ? What...

The Bible interprets itself, with God's holy spirit giving the direction. For example, at Revelation 17, there is seen a "harlot" called "Babylon the Great". By allowing "Scripture to interpret Scripture", it can be deciphered who this "Babylon the Great " is, by not being biased. These look at...

Neither is it the the world's banking elite, for Revelation 18:23, says that Babylon the Great ' misleads all the nations by her spiritistic practices.' This deeply involves religion. Ancient Babylon is the prototype of Babylon the Great, and in which Isaiah 47:8, 9 says: "And now hear this, you...

The religion of Islam is only a part of Babylon the Great. Most do not look carefully at all the clues in order to grasp who the "harlot" is. For example, Revelation 18:24 says that "in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”...

At Revelation 13:18, it says: "Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six." It need be noted that Jesus, in speaking of unlocking "the mysteries of the kingdom"...

That Babylon the Great is not "those who love money, the internationalists", is seen at Revelation 18:11, 12. Here "the traveling merchants" or the greedy commercial elements are seen mourning over her destruction "because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore, a full stock of gold and...
