Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 15 “Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.” THEN HE SAID TO ME: From here to the end of the chapter we again have evidence of the angel’s commission toward us. He is saying, “Here are...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.” AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW: “Which you saw” is important. The Revelator is mopping up details. He has disposed...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.” HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: The angel now invites the saints to reason. He DOES NOT explain to us the meaning of the following verses. He merely LISTS...

Revelation Chapter 17 Note: As we continue with this study, we will be following the outline of the second view mentioned in our previous posts. VERSE 8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will...

Revelation Chapter 17 Before we move on let us briefly review for a moment the differences, between the two views which we have just presented with regards to... The beast that WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss. (Rev 17:8) According to the first view this “beast”...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” Point # 2: The PARTIAL beast (of Verses 8, 11-13, 16, 17) is THUS SAID to be “of the seven,” but NOT ONE of the seven.” (We should not look for a definition of this...

Revelation Chapter 17 Now a second look at our subject from another perspective, one which when rightfully grasps seems just as plausible as the first. VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” “All students of Revelation know the...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast...

Revelation Chapter 17 Now what we are about to present with regards to Verse 8 are two completely different takes on the subject both of which nevertheless have their merits, and both of which could very possibly reign true in the end, the first as presented by Brother Frank Shallieu is one...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 6 AND 7 continued “I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSES 6 AND 7 “I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSES 4 AND 5 continued “The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication, and on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSES 4 AND 5 “The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication, and on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 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.” AND HE CARRIED ME AWAY: Brother Russell was the first to understand clearly the...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 2 -- WITH WHOM THE KINGS OF THE EARTH COMMITTED IMMORALITY: This is her primary sin. The Christian Church is espoused to Christ to be wedded to Him at His return. This woman thought that the interval before that return would be more profitable to her if she lured...

Revelation Chapter 17 VERSES 1 AND 2 “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the...
