Nope. No fail. It is the truth.
The Roman Catholic church and the Papacy is the only one that fits all the descriptions as given in Revelation 17:4-9

And that concept comes right out of a comic book. Did you grow up reading Chick Tracts? Jack Chick is a Cult Leader who specializes in stirring up dissension among the brethren. I had more arguments start in the Chapel in Prison over those Chick comic books, almost to the post of fists flying, when I was the Volunteer Chaplain, than any other reason BY FAR. I saw the evil and hatred those tracts produced, and buried them in back corner of the supply room. Any so-called Christian Tracts that PRODUCE arguments among Christians most CERTAINLY ARE THE WORK OF THE DEVIL. Jesus Christ walks aroung seven Candlesticks that represent seven types of Churches, WHO ARE WE TO RECOGNIZE LESS.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
[SUP]17 [/SUP] haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
[SUP]18 [/SUP] a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
[SUP]19 [/SUP] a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Now if you really want to KNOW what the seven mountains represent, you need to do a study on biblical symbolism. Mountains can be symbolism for Kingdoms or nations AND SO ARE HORNS, AND HEADS.
Revelation 17:7 (NKJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
AND in Dan. 7:7-8, which also prophecies the beast with 10 horns which symbolize nations or kingdoms, and Daniel tells us that specifically 3 of those horns will be torn up by their roots. What does that mean? For those of us who are not too young, we have seen it happen in our lifetime. East Germany was torn up by it's roots, as if it NEVER existed. NOW if three of the ten are torn up, HOW MANY MOUNTAINS OR HORNS OR HEADS ARE LEFT? See this is a prophecy about a 10 nation confederacy that three of the smaller nations merge with other nations, most likely so that their political leaders have equal voting rights with the larger nations. AND the Confederacy will turn on a once favored Nation, symbolized by the harlot Mystery Babylon. DON'T YOU KNOW that the Statue of Liberty was modeled after a Babylonian Goddess?
The European Union and other nations are abandoning the U.S. Dollar's role as the global reserve currency of choice. Which means for several decades other countries had to convert their currency to US Dollars to buy oil. Now with our dollar's value on very shaky ground, nations who were once our allies are learning to hate the USA. We are symbolized by a GIANT Babylonian Goddess Statue in New York City's harbor, the WATERS where she sits; AND Ellis Island was the Melting Pot of many languages.
Revelation 17:15-16 (NKJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Now what will make New York City "desolate, with the flesh of the inabitants devoured, and the City burned with fire?
SO NO, the Roman Catholic church and the Papacy are FAR from the only explanation that fits the discription, IN FACT it is VERY FAR from best explanation. The Prophecy is about SEVEN MOUNTAINS, not about seven hills. AND YES, I know there are currently more than 10 nations involved in the European Union; but NOT EVERY NATION will agree to hand over the reigns of Power to a Dictator, and so some will pull out of the European Union first. Thus Under the Antichrist's rule it will start with 10 nations and thee will merge with other nations, like East Germany merged with West Germany; and then there will be SEVEN.
