Reason number 7: (From the Dake's Annotated Bible)
There was a cult started Nimrod that spread all along the nations. Who's was Nimrod?:he is a Mesopotamian monarch mentioned in the Book of Genesis, who also figures in many legends and folktales. He is depicted in the Bible as a mighty ruler and nation builder who founded many cities including the great Babel or Babylon. (from www.greatdreams.com)
In this cult, the focus of worship was the Supreme Father, the Incarnate Female or Queen of Heaven, and her Son. This cult claimed to know the highest wisdom and the most divine secrets. This cult had confessions made to priest and many different rites to preform. Many Emperors held the position of head of the cult until emperor Gratian. Gratian refused to due to Christian reasons and saw that Babylonianism was idolatrous. In 378 A.D. Demasus held the position of bishop of the Christian church in Rome and was elected as the head of the cult, Babylonianism. Since then, the two became as one and the rites of Babylonianism were introduced into the Christian church. It was at this time that many Heathen temples were restored, and participation was encouraged. "Worship and veneration of images, saints, relics,private confessions, penances, scourging, pilgrimages, sign of the cross, Christmas, Lady Day, Easter, Lent and other pagan rites and festivals, little by little became a part of Christian worship." (from Dake's Annotated Bible pg 536 Book of Revelation notes)
8. The name "Mother of Harlots" is an identifying name as many branches have came off this religion. These religions that sprang up after the rapture end up being linked together to the dominate church at that time. The one mentioned here as the Whore.
9. The Mother of Abominations of the Earth. She will be this Mother in God's site, she will be exceeding in her wickedness.
10. Drunkenness with the blood of the martyrs are the martyrs of our Lord Jesus. It was pointed out that only religions have killed martyrs of Christ, the Governments have carried out the request of the religious leaders doing the killings but the request has come from the leaders.
11. Destruction of the whore by 10 kings inside the Roman Empire further lead her to be a religious system.
12.We will see in 17:18 there is a description of of here having a kingdom over the kings of the earth. She has a kingdom within the kingdom. Or rather she is a system (religious) operating withing a organization. This is like today, a Christian religion within the United States, religion within a political realm. However, hers is a huge influence and dictation over the political arena.
Rev 17:7 Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
This is actually the last question asked in Revelation. I am right there with John, I do not believe I could have taken my eyes of the spectacle before me.
Notice it says the beast she rides has 7 heads and 10 horns. The beast is not any one of the heads or horns, the beast symbolizes something and the head and horns symbolizes something else.
Rev 17:8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
This verse (concerning the inhabitants of the earth and the book of life) was seen before in Revelation 13:8
The horns, the heads and the beast are all three together and yet they must be looked at separately to fully understand. The beast is a symbol of three things:
1. a supernatural angel coming out of the Abyss (see above).
2. A mortal man
3. A Kingdom.
The next blog we will look at those three points in further detail.
Blessing on all!

Revelation 17:4-6
Notice we have a sequence going on here with The Harlot in chapter 17:
Verse 1 is the announcement of her judgement (the Harlot).
Verse 2 is Her sins and her lovers.
Verse 3 is Her Dominion.
Verse 4 is Her clothing and her sins.
Verse 5 is Her name.
Verse 6 is Her Drunkenness
We have already covered verses 1-3 lets turn to verse 4:
4The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Well here we have a description of the harlot. She has purple and scarlet for her colors. These are the colors of royalty. These are the colors of someone who spends their live in luxury and plenty. Her jewelry even speak of extravagance. There is a golden cup which she is having her lovers drink from. It says in this verse the cup is full of abomination and impurities of sexual immorality. The woman has inticed her audience to do what she is wanting them to do. Possibly by lies, peer pressure, false teacher, promises of wealth etc. You know, the same tools the Devil utilizes today!
5And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations."
Notice here we actually know she is a prostitute. She is wearing the title on her forehead, there is a font let with her name on it. The name is a mystery, in Greek the work mystery is mustērion the word is meaningful to only those who actually gave it to her. Similar to a child calling a specific item their "bobble" . Only the child and a few close friends and relatives know what it really is.
6And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
Remember John is seeing all this and trying to relay it to....well to us for the future warning and knowledge. So we have to look at it like John was seeing it. Think of Nero and the persecution that came for that horrible leader. They did not just simply persecute Christians but they ENJOYED it and the wickedness that went with it. The people at that time were drunk with the blood lust. Mutilation and slaughter everywhere, and people enjoying it!
Next verses gives an explanation. However until then lets look at what the Dake's Bible says. there is an interesting section concerning the Mystery Babylon. The Dake's Bible offers 13 Proofs the Whore is a Religious System:
1. It has been seen before where a playing a whore is symbolic to religious fornication and idolatry. See Isa 23:17; 57, Jer 3:2-9 Hos 4:12-19 just to name a few.
2. The implication that many nations will be caused to have sex with her could be a religious practice.
3. There is no political power here. She is not spoken with as "one of the kings" but does have influence over them.
4. She is riding a beast, which is the 8th kingdom. Since the beast is a kingdom, the woman cannot be a true woman, but a religion dominating it. We mentioned it in the last blog. Seems more plausible now? Maybe, again, we will not know for sure until it happens.
5. Her outfit is one of royalty and wealth of the system. (I find this a little weak but see where it is going)
6. The golden cup is full of abominations and impurities. Again, a religious system and not something like wine, something from idol worship.
7. Number 7 is one I would like to spend a little more time on so, we will stop here for right now.

Revelation 17:1-3
This entire chapter is devoted to the fall of Babylon. This will be the 8th parenthetical passage.
Chronologically, 19th chapter of Revelation should follow chapter 16.
However, John is taken aside to get this vision of the false church. It is placed between the fact that Babylon will be destroyed-literal (Rev 16:17-21) and the actual description of the destruction (18:1-24). The parenthetical passage will contrast the literal verses the mythical Babylons. Verses 17:1-18 will explain the mystery of the great whore and the beast that she is carried on.
The 10 kings have given their power to the beast by now.
Let's get started:
1Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,2with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk."3And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.
Who is the Prostitute or Whore:
A Whore is in the Bible is symbolic language and it refers to fornication and idolatry. See Isa. 23:17; 57:3-7 Hos 4:12-19 Nah. 3:4...just as a few.
Chronologically, 19th chapter of Revelation should follow chapter 16.

A Whore is in the Bible is symbolic language and it refers to fornication and idolatry. See Isa. 23:17; 57:3-7 Hos 4:12-19 Nah. 3:4...just as a few.
More than one have had sex with her (it says Kings, plural). This would mean there were many nations involved in the idolatry practices.
She is not mentioned in the kings so, she is not involved politically powerful.
She merely entices the kings to be drunk with wine of her sexual immorality. The sexual immorality is her using her influence through religious harlotry.
So, the whore is a religion of sorts, causing the people to be fooled.
There are some that say the beast the woman rides is the 8th kingdom, or The old Roman Empire territory. It is actually the people who make up the territory (the waters listed above). The whore is the woman (religion) controlling the kingdom until she is destroyed. This is where the Anti-Christ is to come from. Since we will not know until time is to come, it is a plausible theory.
Recall our prior discussion about this beast or return and read what was said about chapter 13. We have explained the horns, heads and crowns. In addition, we have mentioned the blasphemous names.
Notice this time the crowns are gone. One theory is that all the power has been given to the beast at this time and it will turn and destroy the prostitute. Which will occur soon.

Revelation 16:17-21
Rev 16:17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
In the books that I have referenced and that I have been reading, not much is said about these verses. Except a plea to those who do not know Christ, to search, find and know him in this light because the darkness to come will not be forgiving or comforting.
All that is said in these verses is what is anticipated to occur. And still men have hearts of stone and curse our Beautiful Savior.
My plea is Don't Be That Guy! Search your heart right now, know that our Lord and Savior is ready willing and most certainly able to take you in, just ask!
Next: Chapter 17 and Judgement.

Revelation 16 12-16
Rev 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
the Euphrates river has dried up. We have seen rivers drying up before. Exodus 14:21 with the Red Sea; Joshua 3:17 with the Jordan; Isaiah 11:16 for the Egyptian sea men could pas through and remain dry; Jeremiah 51:36 was the threat from God to dry up the sea and finally, Zechariah 10:11, the Nile to dry up. All of the above mentioned are signs of Gods power. Can this be done...YES!! and it will be done again, here.
Who are the "kings from the East"?
Possibilities:
The "lost 10 tribes of Israel"?
Persia, Afghanistan....
If you look at the wording of "the east" it can also mean "the sun-rising". Could this have something to do with Japan (the kingdom of the rising sun)? Might there be a future ally with India? East vs West?
Lets look at it in context with verses 13-16. These verses are parenthetical, they are in parenthesis, this will happen between the 6th and 7 bowls and explains who the kings will be.
13 Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
The kings are the kings of the Earth who are not under the influence of the Antichrist, but will be convinced to work with him. The kings will be gathered by the spirits out of the mouths of the Dragon, beast and false prophet. So, could we summarize that the speech coming from the mouth of these three could be the demons and would be the convincing of these kings to be an ally? Know this, the word for spirit is pneuma which happens to be the word for breath. Maybe....but it could mean a literal evil spirit.
Why frogs? Well frogs are associated with plagues, generally noisy, unclean animals. So if it is not literal, then the speech these persons are making are dirty,noisy, empty words and promises.
We already know who the players are, right?
The Dragon is Satan
The Beast is a man that will be a powerful agent for Satan. The Antichrist. (Some say it was the Roman Empire, prior blogs explain why I do not think it is.)
The False prophet....Wait, this is the first time we have heard of him.
Actually,The false prophet is the second beast. He is actually called this three times, here in chapter 16:13, then again in chapter 19 and a third time in chapter 20. Two times he is associated with the "First Beast" (the Antichrist) and once with the Dragon (Satan). Since we know that both of the Beast and the Dragon are "persons" so should this be.
Look in Matthew 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible" This is Christ talking. Notice there is two separate mentions of Christs and prophets, therefore, they cannot be the same. We also know that the "Second Beast", the False Prophet comes up out of the Earth...Resurrected person? Maybe, why not?
It does say that they will
15 "Behold, I come like a thief ! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
Does this passage sound familiar? It should.. Christ has warned us before.
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon
Well, the kings have been "riled up" and are ready for a final fight, but where???
Here is another big question, where is Armageddon going to take place? The big battle between good and evil.
Other versions of Bibles have different spellings and names for Armageddon. Moffatt has Harmagedon, Revised Version displays Har-Magedon. Magedon might have something to do with Megiddo, the Plain of Esdraelon, a highway from Egypt to Damascus. It is actually already a great battleground.
Armageddon can translate to mean the city of Megiddo and Harmagedon can translate to mean the mountain of Megiddo. Many scholars are going with the second. There is more info that needs to be included here. look in Ezekiel 38 & 39 where the description of the battle with Gog and Magog, the final fight was going to be in the mountains of Israel. John may be talking of the Mount of Megiddo, it would fit with prophecy.
This, like other issues in Revelation, will just have to be seen.

Revelation 16:8-11
Rev 16:8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
Notice the bowl is poured out upon the sun. We take great comfort in the sun. We utilize it's power for growing, warming, vision and time keeping. Think back to the 4th trumpet, part of the sun was effected. Here the entire sun was effected and turned up really hot!!! The sun has become something of an enemy of these people. Remember these "bowls" are being poured out on those people who have taken the mark of the Beast or are worshipping the Beast
These verses are literal at this point. There will be scorching with fire and those suffering the intense heat will curse the name of God. These people will know their suffering and will know they are cursing God. At this point they are being indignant and stubborn.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
Remember, none of the things that have been "poured out" onto these people have been ended or taken away. So, as it reads, they were burned, (scorched) and they were thrust into darkness and they still have all these sores on them. Still, they do not repent and worship God. Usually people who are suffering will seek God, not so with these people. These people are rejecting Christ and their punishment will be for eternity!
As we all like to say, "DON'T BE THAT GUY"!!!

Revealtion 16:2-7
Rev 16:2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
Lets look at Exodus 9:8, "...and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land.".
Then lets go to Deuteronomy 28:35, "35 The LORD will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head."
Finally, Job 2:7, "7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head."
So, this tells us that, number one, it is an easy thing to repeat. Number two that it can be placed on specific persons, in this case, just those who have the mark and worshiped his image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died. 4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
Again, this is like turning the Nile into blood in Exo 7:17-21. The biggest difference here...more intense. Much death and destruction...on top of what has already happened.
5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; 6 for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve." 7 And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments."
Really read this, the angel is saying it is fine with him that it is all destroyed, BECAUSE he is the Holy One! There is an assurance that even if all is destroyed, it can be re-created at Gods will. The angel knows that God's judgement is true and right. If we would have that kind of faith in God right this minute we would all realize there is NOTHING HE can't do or handle in our lives right this minute! You can be in that perfect peace and knowledge by just trusting and believing in HIM!
