Rev 17:9
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. (KJV)
Below we see that this woman sits upon the peoples, all the peoples (the sea — the waters = the peoples):
Rev 17:15
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. (KJV)
Mystery Babylon is that woman:
Greeting in Jesus' name and welcome my brother.
For starters there is no Mystery Babylon, I'll show why later. Mystery (Musterion) means Secret by God shutting His mouth. In Rev. 17:7 we see the Angel says come and I will show you the Mystery (SECRET) if the Woman an d the Beast she rides. So, it can't be a secret because its been explained, we just missed the info. I have been called by God unto Prophecy 40 years, in 1986 I was shown and told in a vision that the "Man of Sin is here". God tells us 100 percent in one verse who Babylon the Great is:
Rev. 16:19 And the
great city(Jerusalem) was
divided into three parts(Earthquake), and
the cities of the nations fell(Jesus defeats his enemies at Armageddon): and
great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (See it now?)
God calls those Jesus defeats at the 2nd Coming Babylon the Great who get the Wine-press of His Wrath !! So, who are they? Lets look back at Vial #6, it states and I quote to save another copy & paste, The Kings of the WHOLE WORLD gather at Armageddon. So, who is God calling Babylon the Great? Every person who follows Satan's lies, the word Babel means confusion, what an apt descriptor, human beings who try to FIGHT their own loving Creator are as CONFUSED as one can get. Basically, Babylon the Great is Satan's Dark Kingdom of confusion on this earth, when Babylon Falls Satan gets bound for 1000 years.
So, why does Rev. 17 seem to get so many people pointing in different directions? Firstly, they jump on other men's ideas instead of asking God to show them, point in case (WATCH THIS) after I had my heart attack and slowed down, I prayed, "Lord, why is it that in these end times when you told us you would reveal all things, do we the Church still 100s of Understandings of who Babylon is, who the Beast is who the 144,000 is et al when we should only have one true answer? And I got this:
"Ron, you guys already know it all"
Thus I asked the Lord to forgive me and told Him from know on I wanted to always be corrected and I would take nothing for granted anymore. Thus I was writing a blog on why (LOL) Rev. 17:18 meant Rome was that city and the Lord was like "Ron, LOOK AGAIN, what did John see? So I looked, and Revelation 17:18 indeed said John SAWEST (Saw)........so I looked for what John actually saw and I saw the vision only covers 4 verses, from vs. 3-6. So, I studied those four verses in depth and suddenly I understood everything, THAT CITY mean Babylon, not MYSTERY Babylon, the MYSTERY was a Header like this below, then we got Three Desriptors:
MYSTERY (?)
1.) Babylon the Great ( Babylon was world renowned for her
FALSE RELIGION)
2.) Mother of Harlots (
FALSE RELIGION was the original Harlotry not False Gov.)
3.) Abominations of the earth ( God is a jealous God and He hates all
FALSE RELIGION)
The MYSTERY is a Header and then the SECRET is revealed via three name tags on the Harlot. A real Harlot in the city center would have name tag on them for all of their clientele to see. Thus the Harlot is identified as ALL FALSE RELIGION of All Time.
Now does vs. 7 make sense? The Harlot RELIGIONS were always cojoined with the Beast Governments, and Babylon was the worse of the lot, noted for her many false gods, deities and religions. This is why she is on MANY WATERS, she is World wide. This is why she has the blood of the [Jewish] Saints AND the Blood of the Martyrs of Jesus (both sides of the cross) on her hands.
By the way, the Scarlet Colored Beast is Apollyon, notice on the 7 Heads and 10 horns there are NO CROWNS, now look at the Red Dragon in Rev. 12, he has 7 CROWNS (he's over every kingdom on earth, especially these 7 spoken about here from Egypt, to Babylon, to Rome and the Anti-Christ). Then in Rev. 13 we see the A.C. Beast has 10 CROWNS and 10 meaning Completeness shows he is over all of Europe, or the E.U. President, thus he has 10 Crowns. Apollyon is a King but not of this earth, he's over the Bottomless Pit, thus he was of the 7 (but is an 8th). From Egypt to Rome is 6, then he's locked in the pit for the duration of the Church Age, and released at the 1st Woe to be over the Anti-Christ the 7th Beast Head. He is also an 8th King himself. Thus he WAS..........IS NOT.............YET IS.
Jerusalem not NO CITY is the Harlot, John was being told by the Angel to REMEMBER WHAT HE SAW, that Babylon represented False Religion and the Last Beast Head and his 10 Kings are going to shift, they see Beast Worship as the Anti-Christ being worshiped as the ONLY GOD. thus they kill off the Harlot FALSE RELIGIONS like Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism et al.
If we do not start out on the right road we will not make our destination. Babylon is really only a descriptor for who the Harlot is.
