The harlot is earthly wisdom who rules over the kings of the earth.
Let's cut this to where the rubber meets the Road.....The Harlot is the RCC, and her Harlots, are those she makes deals with in World Governments by whatever it takes to accomlish their goals.
Who recognized The Nazis in World War II .....Who also recognized Fascist Mussolini? Who is the Only "Christian" Church who is a voting member and Participant in the United Nations, an assembly.of those who despise democracy, and more for Socialism, and all it's lackeys and supporters?

Want to see these folks in their true colors? Google "Nazi-Vatican Photos" see for yourself.

Genesis 11:8-9

8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

It was named Babel because the LORD had confounded the language of all the earth. Nations could not understand eachother and thus were scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. Rome is but a daughter as well my friend.

Matthew 12:30

30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

It is the veil of languages and customs that scatters. It is the veil of religion and tradition that scatters. We must be care not to scatter but to gather.

Who is this Harlot? I have heard many people speak of this in a few threads lately. I thought it would be a good subject to talk about. Although it is not a salvic issue, and hope we do not get into arguments and hated fights.
Discussions are good. They help us learn. I promise to not turn this into an argument. :) I would however like to just point out a few things for you to consider. We can go through everything. You have made some good observations. This is a very intense study however. Basics have to be covered first. Please bare with me. I am speaking so plainly that a child can understand. This is for the benefit of everyone else reading, the young & people from other countries included. It has to be plain speech with no high words. It will take a few parts to cover. Thank you for this opportunity.


I have heard many differing ideas, The harlot is a nation, I have even heard (although not here) the United States is who the Harlot is (although I think most of the world would not shed a tear if the US was destroyed) so it could not be this.
I agree with you here. You are using the process of elimination technique! USA doesn't fit.


What we do know is the harlot is a powerful would influence. Very rich, Tends to side with the beast,
Yes,she is very rich, but notice she is riding on the beast. She's the one controlling and holding the reigns.

(This beast has 7 heads and 10 horns. Very important clue).

Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom, The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

Explaination is right here. The meaning of the 7 mountains is explained in the very next verse. So simple.
Rev 17:10 And there are Seven Kings: Five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.

So the harlot is sitting on Seven kings, but five are fallen (past, gone) Keep in mind that John was in the Roman Empire at the time of the vision. Again, so the five kingdoms that are fallen are history in Johns day, the one that IS must be the Roman Empire, and the other king (kingdom) that has not come is coming but will only rule for a short space.

So to find out who are these 5 kingdoms that have fallen we have to go to Daniel 2:32-35 to read about the image in King Nebs dream. We know that this is referring to the last days because;

Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in THE LATTER DAYS, Thy dream, and visions of thy head upon thy bed are these.

and if we read on in Daniel 2:38 the interpretation is given.

Daniel 2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts ofthe field and the fowls of the heaven has he given unto thine hand, and has made you ruler over them all, THOU ART THIS HEAD OF GOLD.

So we know that King Neb was the King of Babylon. The head (fine gold) starts at the BABYLONIAN EMPIRE.

Daniel 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee

We know from history that the Medo-Persian empire conquered Babylon. In Daniel ch 5 it explains that king Nebs son, Belshazzar who was next & last king of Babylon, his kingdom was killed & conquered by the Medes (Darius)

Daniel 5:31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about three score and two years old.

The Medes and Persians combined. (Darius & Cyrus.)
Daniel 6:8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altered not. See also Dan 6:28
(these are the breast and arms of silver Dan 2:32)

The Medo-Persian empire was conquered by Alexander the Great - Grecian Empire (Belly & thighs of silver Dan 2:32)

Daniel 2:39 .....and another third kingdom inferior to thee

Daniel 8:5 And I was considering, behold an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the he goat, had a notable horn between his eyes.

Daniel 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and SMOTE the RAM, and brake his two horns (medo-persia) and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Daniel 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

So Alexanders great horn was broken. He died but wasn't conquered. His horn (kingdom) was divided between his four generals...they branched off with their own territories, but it became to large for them to control, they merged with the Romans (Roman/Greko era) and thus the Roman empire came up strong out of it.

Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: as iron that breakes all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

Rome is the legs of iron (Dan 2:32) Rome was never conquered, she lost her power but her system is still here lingering. The british empire came up strong, but she is still of the Roman empire. Same system.

Now the last kingdom,

Daniel 2:34 . . .his feet part of clay
Daniel 2:41 And whereas you saw the feet and TOES, part of potters clay, and part of iron (rome) the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in if of the strength of iron mixed with mirry clay.

Daniel 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were PART of IRON and PART oF clay, so the kingdom shall be PARTLY STRONG , and PARTLY BROKEN

Daniel 2:43 And whereas thou saw 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 is not mixed with clay.

How do we know how many kings are involved in this last kingdom? Well the toes consist of 10 digits. .. The Beast that the woman is riding has 10 horns. To find out what these horns mean;

Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have recieved no kingdom as yet; but recieve power as kings one hour with the beast. To go further into detail look also in Rev 13 - the first beast rising up out of the sea. Also see Daniel 7:7-8

So this last 5th kingdom is the feet & toes. The toes consist of 10 digits. (10 kings) These make one kingdom.

But that only makes 5 kingdoms? If we start before the head (babylon) we learn that Egypt was the first empire, and Assyria the second empire - then Babylon started. This makes a total of 7 empires (kingdoms) from beginning till the end when Christ returns.

So we know that mountains means kings (kingdoms) The harlot is sitting on 7 kingdoms. The harlot is called Babylon the Great - Mother of Harlots. She is riding the whole lot from the beginning to the end. The last kingdom will consist of 10 kings. During the days of these last 10 kings, will Jesus come and destroy.

to be continued

Not sure I understand. I do not see anything in revelations speaking of the daughters, but the woman herself.

Yes God said the desire for the woman will be her husband. But we are not talking about a wife. but a false wife. A harlot takes the wifes place in the bedroom, and acts as the wife. She is not an actual wife but a "false wife"

as for your example. Thats the state for ya. We do not care about kids, just the rules.. sucks!!

she is the mother of harlots,so she obviously has daughters.

.

So a quick recap. Theres a woman riding a beast. She is called MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. We determined that the beast she was riding has 7 heads and ten horns. We went to Daniel and found out that the 7 heads symbolise 7 major empires that have existed from the beginning and the last empire (toes) will consist of 10 nations combined together as one powerful kingdom. We established that this is the last kingdom to rule man, and Jesus will come again during the kingdom of these kings.

This Harlot, is described as the Mother of Harlots. She is at the top. She is called Babylon the Great. She has a main system that the world follows - Commerce . . .Trade. making money . . .banks . . .This is her worldly side. The 10 kings are going to hate the whore - Babylon the Great.

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou saw upon the beast, these shall HATE the WHORE, and shall make her DESOLATE and NAKED, and shall EAT HER FLESH, and BURN HER with FIRE.

So we can see that the ten kings are very powerful here. They have the power to bring down her money system. These ten kings are the first beast in revelations. They are the ones that are preparing the way for the False Prophets arrival. How will they eat the flesh of the whore? They will cause mayhem . . . . the world will need a 'saviour' to rescue them . . how will they eat her flesh? They will cause the whole world to go bankrupt. Nation by nation, bank by bank. They will cause the economy to fall. People are going to loose their houses, their jobs, their positions. Food will be expensive to buy. The world will be in turmoil. Sickness will follow and crime will escalate. The world will be crying out somebody help us please...ufo's, gods, messiahs, anyone, please help!

Enter the false prophet.

(
probably because the Harlot would then know the true purpose of this world leader, and turn against him,
The harlot was there from the beginning. Satan thinks he is so clever, he sets up her system, makes us all totaly dependant on her, then strips her naked so we can become extremely desperate and welcome a completely new system like never before. One leader controlling the world's money system.


Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to recieve a mark in their foreheads;

Rev 13:17 And that no man can buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

And if you dont want to follow this new brilliant system, watch out, he's got plans for you.

So, back to the ten kings . .they do not know the true purpose, they only eat the whores flesh because of Greed. They want to control the world (New world order) and without realising it, they have their perfect man to lead and he will come up shortly after. They give their power to this man. He is described as the 2nd beast in Revelations 13:11-18.

So who is the whore?
Rev 17: 15 The waters which thou saw, where the whore sits are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Yes she is sitting on the beast which is sitting on the waters, and waters are made up of peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues...everybody. The world. Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots is the World's system, ruled by Satan. She is not a real woman, she is also symbolic of a spiritually contaminated woman. She has daughters too, and these daughters make up false religions, false beliefs & false teachings. Anything that goes against God. All abominations. She is a harlot because she fools around on God giving herself to others. Her daughters are all the nations of the world, including Rome & Israel as well. They were born out of her and Jesus will destroy her spiritual & material side when he comes and she will never exist again, ever.

I think we agree on quite a bit with a few exceptions but your very cluey & have some great points! I could go on and on forever but I think this is enough for now! Too much info in one hit can sometimes block (and I dont mean you) So Hope this helps.

Regards Journey

Can't be Israel, Israel has never done this.


Can't be Israel, for she has not ruled any nation, Nor, even as a nation today, does she have any say in other nations political affairs.
JERUSALEM...

happening now.
it's prophecy...get it?
but you deny what john wrote, what he saw and heard.


Again can't be Israel, for she is not called Great, nor is she Great.

Again can't be Israel, No one on earth, or very few at the least, will cry out that Israel was a power

what about vs 11: 11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her

Who is going to mourn over the death of Israel, The world will rejoice over her death if it was her, For the world has been tryin gto destroy her since she was formed (even today)

The harlot was loved throughout the world, And her loss is painfull to many because of this love, Does the world love Israel?

JERUSALEM

Your continued insistance that the harlot is Israel is false. for the reasons I just gave and MANY MANY MORE!!


JERUSALEM IS THE HARLOT (WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING 'ISRAEL'?) THE HARLOT IS A CITY:

SEE HERE? BELOW? IN BLUE? REVELATION 11:18? THEN FOLLOW ALL THE PASSAGES IN THE SAME CHAPTER? THEY ALL TALK OF THE SAME WOMAN WHICH IS THE GREAT CITY? THE HARLOT? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? SEE IT BLUE BELOW? IN 5PT TYPE? CAN YOU SEE IT? IN BLUE BELOW? IDENTIFIED AS JERUSALEM? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? JERUSALEM? SEE IT YET?

Revelation 11:18
And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

SEE IT BLUE ABOVE? IN 5PT TYPE? CAN YOU SEE IT? IN BLUE ABOVE? IDENTIFIED AS JERUSALEM? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? JERUSALEM? SEE IT YET?


Isaiah 1:9 Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.

Isaiah 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

Jeremiah 23:14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah."

Ezekiel 16:46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.

Ezekiel 16:49 "'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 23:3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.

Ezekiel 23:8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.

Revelation 14:8 A second angel followed and said, "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."

Revelation 14:20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

Revelation 16:19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.

Revelation 17:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."

Revelation 18:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.

Revelation 18:10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'

Revelation 11:18
And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.


SEE HERE? ABOVE? IN BLUE? REVELATION 11:18? THEN FOLLOW ALL THE PASSAGES IN THE SAME CHAPTER? THEY ALL TALK OF THE SAME WOMAN WHICH IS THE GREAT CITY? THE HARLOT? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED?

Going off what I just said. What religious power on earth has the power to affect nations, Is loved by the world so greatly that if she fell the world would morn for her.

Remember, this could not be a pegan or "non Christian" power, for she is a harlot, No pegan or non christian power such as islam is decaring to be the bride of Christ.

it's not about the bride of Christ.

it's a WOMAN who says she SITS A QUEEN AND IS NO WIDOW.

it's only pertaining to the "church" if the "church" is partaking in the sins of the GREAT HARLOT CITY WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED << JERUSALEM.

unless you believe Jesus was crucified in Rome or Damascus or Tehran or NY City.

Enter the false prophet.


This is how the beast assumes power through the false prophet, I agree.

But scripture states that once the beast takes power, there is three and a half years of peace and joy. It it at the end of this 3 1/2 years right before the beast enters the temple to make "abomination" that he destroys the harlot. and when he does it, the whole world, "Who loved the harlot" is amazed and saddened that the harlot is destroyed.

Thus one must ask.. why would the beast destroy the harlot when the harlot is on his side, and the word evidently follows the harlot (which is to his advantage) right before he enters the holy of holies and commits the abomination of desolation?

(The harlot was there from the beginning. Satan thinks he is so clever, he sets up her system, makes us all totaly dependant on her, then strips her naked so we can become extremely desperate and welcome a completely new system like never before. One leader controlling the world's money system.

Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to recieve a mark in their foreheads;

Rev 13:17 And that no man can buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

And if you dont want to follow this new brilliant system, watch out, he's got plans for you.
Another good point, Yet this shows the Harlot is following him, because after three and a half years she is still inpower, so she must have taken the mark (even if unknowingly, which I think will be the case)



So, back to the ten kings . .they do not know the true purpose, they only eat the whores flesh because of Greed. They want to control the world (New world order) and without realising it, they have their perfect man to lead and he will come up shortly after. They give their power to this man. He is described as the 2nd beast in Revelations 13:11-18.
Ah but your timeline is wrong. The harlot is not destroyed "BEFORE" the beast is given power. It is destroyed long after he has obtained power, in fact she is on his side. (Again I think unknowingly, because she does not know who he is)

So who is the whore?
Rev 17: 15 The waters which thou saw, where the whore sits are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Yes she is sitting on the beast which is sitting on the waters, and waters are made up of peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues...everybody. The world. Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots is the World's system, ruled by Satan. She is not a real woman, she is also symbolic of a spiritually contaminated woman. She has daughters too, and these daughters make up false religions, false beliefs & false teachings. Anything that goes against God. All abominations. She is a harlot because she fools around on God giving herself to others. Her daughters are all the nations of the world, including Rome & Israel as well. They were born out of her and Jesus will destroy her spiritual & material side when he comes and she will never exist again, ever.
I can't agree, If the Harlot is the world system run by satan, why would the beast (empowered by satan) destroy his own system? I am reminded of what jesus said when he was accused of removing a demon under satan's power.

Mark 3: 23-27: “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27 No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

The Harlot can not be the world system ruled by satan, because satan would be going against his own house "Satan casting out satan". As Jesus said, His kingdom would not be able to stand. No military man, or man in power would attack himself. Jesus made it clear satan would never do this.


I think we agree on quite a bit with a few exceptions but your very cluey & have some great points!
I could go on and on forever but I think this is enough for now! Too much info in one hit can sometimes block (and I dont mean you) So Hope this helps.

Regards Journey
I think we agree on many things. I just don't agree that the Harlot is the world system, and hopefully now you see why..

Who ordered the crucifiction of Jesus? And what City ruled that power that gave the authority for Jesus to be crucified? Jerusalem did not crucify Christ, they had no power.

WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED IN ROME?

Revelation 11:8
And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of
the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, WHERE also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 17:5
And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Luke 23
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

did the above take place IN ROME? please answer YES OR NO ONLY.

where did the above take place? ROME OR JERUSALEM? ONE ANSWER ONLY PLEASE.

who found Jesus INNOCENT?

please tell me if Jesus is speaking the declarations made way back when upon ROME, or upon JERUSALEM.

there's only ONE ANSWER.

Luke 23
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

Hosea 10:8
The high places of wickedness will be destroyed--it is the sin of Israel. Thorns and thistles will grow up and cover their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!" and to the hills, "Fall on us!"


Revelation 6:16
They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

is it talking about ROME, or NY? how about Los Angeles or Tripoli...or Bagdad? or Moscow?...or is Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM...

happening now.
it's prophecy...get it?
but you deny what john wrote, what he saw and heard.



So Those in power in Jerusalem hove power over the united states and europe and the rest of the world. The world is purchasing her goods, She has influence over the kings (rulers) of all nations?

Sorry if I chose not to be spoonfed what to believe, but actually study what is being said. Jerusalem does not fit the discription. so it can not be her! or those in her!

JERUSALEM




JERUSALEM IS THE HARLOT (WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING 'ISRAEL'?) THE HARLOT IS A CITY:

SEE HERE? BELOW? IN BLUE? REVELATION 11:18? THEN FOLLOW ALL THE PASSAGES IN THE SAME CHAPTER? THEY ALL TALK OF THE SAME WOMAN WHICH IS THE GREAT CITY? THE HARLOT? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? SEE IT BLUE BELOW? IN 5PT TYPE? CAN YOU SEE IT? IN BLUE BELOW? IDENTIFIED AS JERUSALEM? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? JERUSALEM? SEE IT YET?

Revelation 11:18
And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.


SEE HERE? ABOVE? IN BLUE? REVELATION 11:18? THEN FOLLOW ALL THE PASSAGES IN THE SAME CHAPTER? THEY ALL TALK OF THE SAME WOMAN WHICH IS THE GREAT CITY? THE HARLOT? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? SEE IT BLUE ABOVE? IN 5PT TYPE? CAN YOU SEE IT? IN BLUE ABOVE? IDENTIFIED AS JERUSALEM? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? JERUSALEM? SEE IT YET?
Ok, You gave ONE example. does this example fit EVERTHING ELSE WE ARE TOLD ABOUT THE HARLOT? Why is it people are demanding we take only a PART of what is being said and ignor everything else?? Sorry if I can not buy into your system of how one interprets the word of God, God had a reason to put everything the harlot is so we can know. He did not waste his breath by putting in everything else the harlot would be and what she was, so we can ignor it and say "here this ONE POINT says this, so it has to be what I believe!!

Did Jerusalem have the power to Crucify Christ? NO! Was Jerusalem the "Power center" of the Roman religion which was born in Babylon? NO! Is Jerusalem babylon? NO! Babylon at the time of John was ROME, Jerusalem at this time was still concidered by John to the the CITY of God. "the heads of the church were in Jerusalem" Why would he write that Jerusalem was babylon? For it did not resemble babylon in any way shape or form.

John used things in HIS DAY to write his words. There is no way John would have considered Jerusalem to be Babylon, and if he did, he would have TOLD US SO!!



Ok, And this verse which shows that if God did not leave any survivors, there would be no PHYSICAL ISRAELITES OR CHILDREN OF ISRAEL left on earth, but they, like Sodom and Gemorrah would have been wiped of the earth proves your point how?? This is not talking about Israel or Jerusalem being sodom this is saying that If God did not spare a remenant, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE SODOM (Destroyed)
Isaiah 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

Jeremiah 23:14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah."

Ezekiel 16:46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.

Ezekiel 16:49 "'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 23:3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.

Ezekiel 23:8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.
Wow, All these verses would represent every nation on Earth today. Uncluding the United States, So whould Washington DC (the GREAT CITY over the people who act like sodom be considered the harlot?

Your examples make no sense and prove nothing!!

Revelation 14:8 A second angel followed and said, "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."

Revelation 14:20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

Revelation 16:19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
So can anyone tell me how the destruction of Jerusalem would cause the cities of other nations collapse? I can't see it. We are told that at the end. Jesus spares jerusalem, and sets up his throne there. So why would Jesus destroy it? He destroys those who attack it. not it!!

Revelation 17:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
So jerusalem rules over (has influence on) the kings of the earth? wow! I did not know this. Jerusalem is not even a Capitol city, and Scripture states until the Lord returns and set up his kingdom there, it will not be, so how could Jerusalem rule over kings??



Again, your logic is flawed, Will the world CRY over the destruction of Jerusalem? If nothing most will REJOICE if it was destroyed! because the principle city and center of the hated religious people (islam, jews and christians) who try to push their religion down our throats will be gone!!

The world will not cry if Jerusalem is destroyed. Why can't you see this??

[/quote]Revelation 11:18
And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.


SEE HERE? ABOVE? IN BLUE? REVELATION 11:18? THEN FOLLOW ALL THE PASSAGES IN THE SAME CHAPTER? THEY ALL TALK OF THE SAME WOMAN WHICH IS THE GREAT CITY? THE HARLOT? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? SEE IT BLUE ABOVE? IN 5PT TYPE? CAN YOU SEE IT? IN BLUE ABOVE? IDENTIFIED AS JERUSALEM? WHERE OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED? JERUSALEM? SEE IT YET?[/quote]

Yeah I see it, But I also see, and refuse to ignor everything else that is said about her. If I took just his verse and nothing else, I could agree with you. But I can't with a sound mind do this. Why you chose to do this is beyond me!!

You did not answer the question. Did Jerusalem crucify Christ, or have the power to do so??

As always you 'Pick and chose" Verses and take them completely out of context in order to prove to yourself your right.

Rev 6:

12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold,[e] there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon[f] became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders,[g] the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Rev 6 talks about all the KINGS OF THE EARTH. Not Jerusalem, or the jews.. so why did you use it? Rev 6 destroys your thoery, it does not help prove Israel is the harlot,

As for the rest of the passages you quoted. were fullfilled in 70 AD. And have no bearing on who the harlot is. Yet again you use passages out of context. They might make you feel good, but I can not take Gods word out of context just to make my belief stand. For I would be a fool!
