But that would mean that Ahwatukee and some others around here are terribly misguided.
The sevenheads represent seven hills on which the woman sits." First of all, no Pope has ever lived or had his "seat" (cathedra orcathedral) on any of the seven hills of Rome. These hills are small hillocks (Capitoline, Palatine, Esquiline, Aventine and three lesser"bumps" in central Rome) where the religion and governmentof pagan Rome was situated.
The angel told John that the woman you saw is that great CITY that rules over the kings of the earth. Therefore, it is meant to point us to Rome, which at the time that John was receiving this information was that great city that ruled over the kings of the earth. It is also meant to point us to Rome and her pagan religious system. Regarding the woman/Mystery Babylon, she is said to be dressed in purple and scarlet, which are the base colors that the Roman liturgy wear.
It is also said that the woman sits on many waters and then later in chapter, the angel tells John, "The waters you saw where the woman sits are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages, which represents the RCC's pagan world-wide influence. Roman Catholicism has over 1.2 billion in number, the RCC claims to be the true church of Christ, when it is obviously pagan with all of her practices and rituals. The agenda of the RCC is to bring all denominations and sects under her control, which power to do so will be gained when that antichrist is revealed. One of the future pope's will play the part of the false prophet who will be the one performing those miracles, signs and wonders, even causing fire to come down out of heaven in full view of the inhabitants of the earth. These will be done on behalf of the first beast, that antichrist, for the purpose of giving authenticity/credibity to the one who be proclaiming himself to be God or anything that is called God or worshiped.
By the pope being that false prophet, the beast will have all of those Catholics in his hip pocket and that because they are devoted to the office of pope and its liturgy. It is that second beast, the false prophet who will cause all both great and small, rich and poor, free and slave to receive the beast's mark. Since the false prophet will be the pope, then the people will willfully receive that mark at his word, as well as worship the beast and his image.
There is not asingle text in 2000 years, including the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, where the Catholic Church, her popes, her bishops, her official teachings,her saints, or her acknowledged ecclesiastical authors, deny the Word-made-flesh or the Blessed Trinity
The problem is that, the RCC is preaching a different gospel and a different Lord, for there are gospels many and Lord's many. Their mentioning of Jesus doesn't do away with her list of false teachings, rituals and practices which are nowhere found in the word of God.
Instead, all of Christianity owes the preservation of these Truths to the Catholic Church, whose great Councils formulated them and whose saints and popes have defended them to this day, often at the cost of martyrdom.
This is false! If the RCC was the one who preserved the truth, she would be abiding in the truth today, as it is, she is pagan through and through. She is paganism wearing Christian clothing. She is that Mystery Babylon and she is the one is guilty of the blood of the apostles, prophets and saints when she initiated the inquisitions, imprisoning, torturing and killing anyone who did not bow to the Roman church and her pope's as Christ's authority, controlling kings and wielding their armies. She is going do the same thing again when that antichrist comes who will put her back into power. She will once again be drunk with the blood of the saints, the great tribulation saints, who during that time of persecution will keep the testimony of Jesus and the word of God and who will not bow to the beast, his image nor receive his mark.
I assure you, those of us around here are not misguided at all, but through the Holy Spirit we know the truth of the matter. Anyone who remains within the RCC, participating in her rituals and practices, which is spiritual adultery, will suffer with her when God uses the beast and the ten kings to destroy her with fire. The meaning of the kings of the earth committing adultery with her and the inhabitants of the earth being intoxicated with the wine of adulteries, is in reference to them engaging in her practices and rituals. Spiritual adultery is defined as, to be unfaithful to Christ, while
posing as His true follower, which is exactly what the RCC, her pope's and her liturgy are doing. My prayer for all Catholic's is the same as what God is saying:
"‘Come out of her, my people,’so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes." (Rev.18:4)
God loves us all!! Look at this cutest photo!! How can anyone not smile?? Awwwww, God has sure made some INCREDIBLE things <3
