[h=2]The Whore of Babylon[/h][FONT="]The whore of Babylon has a few different names like Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots, and woman on a scarlet beast. But who is this woman? Please read this page prayerfully and with an open heart, as the information contained here is of great importance for the time we live in.
A woman (bride) in the Bible is a symbol for God's church, and the husband is a symbol of Christ Jesus. Take a look at the following verses.
Ezekiel 16:26-32 ...'You have also committed FORNICATION with the Egyptians your neighbours, great of flesh; and have increased your WHOREDOMS, to provoke me to anger. You have played the WHORE also with the Assyrians, because you were unsatiable; yes, you have played the HARLOT with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing you doest all these things, the work of an imperious WHORISH WOMAN; In that you buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and have not been as an HARLOT, in that you scornest hire; But as a wife that committeth ADULTERY, which taketh strangers instead of her husband.'

A woman (bride) in the Bible is a symbol for God's church, and the husband is a symbol of Christ Jesus. Take a look at the following verses.
2 Corinthians 11:2 ...'For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.'Isaiah 62:5 ...'For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.'
You see, Christ is our Husband who will come to redeem His bride at the second coming.The following Biblical information is PROOF that Babylon the Great CANNOT be Islam, or any false religion, or any city like New York. The following information proves that Babylon MUST be a professing Christian Church ...
Revelation 17 clearly says that Babylon the Great is guilty of committing "fornication". Now what is fornication in God's eyes? Fornication is the act of "committing adultery" against God and going after other "gods" and mixing with other Pagan nations and practices. Look at how God described it in the Old Testament when Israel went after other gods and mixed with other nations ...Ezekiel 16:26-32 ...'You have also committed FORNICATION with the Egyptians your neighbours, great of flesh; and have increased your WHOREDOMS, to provoke me to anger. You have played the WHORE also with the Assyrians, because you were unsatiable; yes, you have played the HARLOT with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing you doest all these things, the work of an imperious WHORISH WOMAN; In that you buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and have not been as an HARLOT, in that you scornest hire; But as a wife that committeth ADULTERY, which taketh strangers instead of her husband.'
Also have a read of Ezekiel 23.
Now think about this. The ONLY people that can be guilty of committing fornication against God are HIS PROFESSED PEOPLE. Let me give you an example of a husband and wife. Can the wife be guilty of committing fornication against her husband by committing adultery with another man? Yes, because she is married to her husband. Now can any other woman be guilty of committing fornication against the husband? No, because he is not married to any other woman. Do you see? Christ Jesus is the husband, and we (Christians) are His bride. We are the only one's who can commit fornication against Him. People of other religions who do not accept Him as their Saviour CANNOT commit adultery against Him because they are not "married" or joined to Him in the first place. Therefore, Babylon HAS to be a professing Christian church.[/FONT]
