    This could be a metaphorical Babylon of course. And might fit the then popular condition of Roman Catholicism. It seems to be a declaration of a failed Dominion. One spent on whoring with the world rather then governing.

    Vs 8 Satan on earth going to and from as in Job 1 then he tempted CHRIST Satan could go to earth. Then it ended and Satan is held by Michael so he was not his spirit only and then Satan comes out of the pit kick to earth and the first seal tells us he comes as antichrist to deceive the whole world and then at the 7th trump CHRIST crushes Satans head. Don't follow false Christ that shall come.
  • Norm on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    This is prophecy and is yet to come. The time is come and the day draweth nigh. We now live in the midst of tribulations with wrath to follow. I pray the blessed LORD finds many worthy to escape the evil to come. God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior loves us beyond our comprehension! We have been given so much to be thankful for and His mercy endures forever!

    All the evil that happened then , has never stopped. It is on going in present days.

    1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    Psalms 18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
  • Word on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    This chapter of explaining is very good as you look at vs 15 that the waters are the people that the whore rises from. Almost every time you read waters or sea in this book it means people. So this religious one world religion rises up with antichrist in charge with his 10 supernatural kings. Not the earthly kings that begin to get things started but when you see the false Antichrist and his 10 kings show up that's when you know Satan is on earth or just look out your window and you'll see the rapture buses going by to the airport to fly to Jerusalem because they believe that the first CHRIST is going to fly them someplace? But after the first tribulation AND THEN you will see the Lord coming to consume the wicked one and his followers with fire and He will set up His Kingdom here.

    In the New Testament Paul changed the sabbath. Sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. We have to keep every day holy. The Holy Ghost is our sabbath. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. This is the rest where in the weary shall rest. 1 Corinthians 16:1 Paul gave order to the church. 1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come unto you. He wanted them to have there tithe and offering there and ready when he got there.

    Believers should be very careful walk in the spirit always to escaspe these great deceitful of antrcist
  • Word on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    17 verse 9 the mountains are Nations. But keep in mind Satan as antichrist meaning not Christ, instead of Christ will have the whole world that he will deceive into believing he is Christ so not only will the Catholics be following Satan but every church out in the world except Gods chosen election and that's the ones we want to listen to when they are delivered up to the churches of Satans one world system and it won't be them speaking but the Holy Spirit speaking through them. The will be led by the two witnesses and the world will hate them because the world doesn't want to here the truth that their Jesus isn't the real Jesus. They will say we are no widow our husband is with us but it's not the true Husband.
  • RP on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth. So, which place in the world has seven hills or mountains...Vatican City. The kingdom which has many crowns is the catholic church. This is where the antichrist will sit and everyone believes he will be an evil person when the bible says he will be adored and loved. Who doesn't love the pope. Even non believers love the pope. Satan will do everything to deceive the people of God including acting as if he is a man of God so he can go anywhere and do anything. The bible also teaches he is a man who will NOT desire women. Hmmm...pope is abstinent and doesn't desire women or the things of her. Not to say the current pope is the antichrist but even the catholic church's bible teaches there will be an antipope that will sit in Rome and rule the earth.
  • Danny Bigelow on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    The seven heads are seven mountains... Jeremiah 51:25, the seven mountains have seven kings, the next verse 10 makes that very clear.
  • Charles fiorucci on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    city on seven hills rome this is black and white prayerfully read the bible you have been deceived
  • Lou on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    I see this as pointing to North America, the USA in particular, being the super-power that it was, and is not, but will be again, the seven mountains are empires, 5 are fallen, Egyptian, Babylonian, Asyrian, Persian, and Mesoptiamian, One is at the time of St. John , Roman.. and one is yet to be..English..which will remain for a short season.. And Mystery is the 8th empire, born of the 7th, and her great city, that rules the kings of the earth, where her statute stands at its ports,entrance, where all the captians can see her, and her most glorious city, New York..
  • JP on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    It 's worldly Jerusalem isn 't it, not Rome.
  • Anonymous on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    I am a proud American and loved what this country stood for but regretfully i must ask the question ... how can we be so blind? is it because we live and love here? not everything is exactly literal in the Bible or these chapter 17 writings but if one is a student of the word of God he will realize under conviction that the word speaks of this America that we live in and no other place on earth. This is Babylon the great without a doubt. We have in fact intoxicated the earth with our evils. We are the beast that the whole earth wander after emulate . its sad but its true. no other country on earth commands the power and authority that we command, Vatican and England are jokes compare to the stature, riches, and evils that sadly we have succumb to.
  • Geoff on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    The seven heads or mountains ARE the same seven congregations which are addressed in Revelation Chapter 2 and 3. The ten kings who have not yet received their kingdom are ten of the sons of Jacob mentioned in Genesis Chapter 49. They are not pagan kings! Babylon the Great is the last iteration of Jesus Christ 's Kingdom. It is Christianity! Nebuchadnezzar had to learn a hard lesson that it was God who set him up as king of Babylon the Great. The last king that God set up was Jesus Christ! Christianity has been ruined. Now read Daniel Chapter 2:44 and understand what it really means!
  • Matthew on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    Only by coming to the true knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ can one be given to know who the archenemy of Christ is. Rev 19:20.will ensnare millions of souls.saints be aware!
  • Brent Dawes on Revelation 17:10 - 8 years ago
    The seven kings represent seven consecutive world empires: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Mede Persia, Greece, Rome, and Britain.
  • NOEL-REV on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    So Cherry, your belief is that the Catholic Church and the Vatican are not caught up in any paganism. Then what do you mean it 's either Jerusalem or pagan Rome? I would like to understand this. Thank you.
  • Cherry on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    It 's not referring to the Catholic Church or the Vatican. It is referring to either Jerusalem or pagan Rome. Neither is the Catholic Church or the Vatican.

    God explaining symbolism. When God explains it you don 't need a man.
  • RNM 17-4-23 REV on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    REV 17-4-23...Semiti Baudromo; Semiti, the word fornication is defined as a couple out of wedlock indulging in intimate relations. If she was married to someone else, it would be adultery, and the Great Whore from Rev 17 is not God 's Church, God 's church is: The remnant, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. You are wrong on all counts but let me show you something. Rev. 22: 18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book... This warning I would take seriously! My advice is to repent of those things you wrote in your comment, and start observing the true holy 4th Commandment which is the 7th day Sabbath. The observance of sunday is not a Commandment of God, it is a commandment of man, a commandment of the catholic church. I pray you will make the right choice. AMEN!!
  • Semiti Buadromo on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    Revelation 17 talks about the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Her judgement is according to her deeds. She is said be a great whore, for she hath committed formication with the kings of the earth. If she had committed fornication, it should mean that she was primarily engaged to or married to someone else. Eph 5:22-25 The virtuous woman is represented by God 's true church, or the people who proffess pure faith. The great whore of revelation 17 is God 's church, or the people who professed pure faith having been loving and committing herself to the affairs of the world, both in material and spiritual things.
  • Dewey j on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    Hello Jennifer, I believe along with many Christian experts that the cup Jesus Christ is referring to was his physical and mental agonies from sinners before and during His crucifixion the overall sufferings of that day the day Christ was killed. God bless you.
  • Word on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    The cup Jesus prayed to be removed was the cup of wrath that will pour out on the people at the end time. He was praying for us!
  • Jennifer siagian on Revelation 17 - 8 years ago
    We sons and daughters of Jacob 's house are being led by El Shaddai out of captivity Exodus.with His mighty hand in keeping His promise His Holy Spirit is has been pouring out to All His children. Judea. Acts 2:17 kjv And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Proverbs 20:12 KJV 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
  • Insight 777 on Revelation 17 - 9 years ago
    Verse 4, Jesus prayed to his father before his death to remove the cup that he had to drink. Perhaps the cup Jesus has to face in his return to earth at the end of days is this cup of Babylon the Great. Babylon the Great is World Nuclear War and Jesus will have to fight in it, drink from that cup. Jesus wanted nuclear weapons to never be created in the first place when he asked the cup to be removed. God allowed their creation to show mankind that war is not the way to true peace nor is war the path to God. God has allowed man freedom of action and will not interfere until he sends Jesus to end it. Verse 6, righteous Christians will be killed with nuclear weapons. Verse 9, the 7 are nations that have nuclear weapons and will go to war using them. Verse 12 and 13, the beast is WAR. They will hate the harlot, they will attack nuclear plants that should have only been used for good but instead were perverted to create nuclear weapons, and they will attack these plants by bombing them and removing their protective enclosures, making then naked, so that they go into nuclear fission and burn. Verse 17, God will allow the Christian nations fight with nuclear weapons also to defend his people from complete destruction. Verse 14, Jesus will lead the battles and win.
  • RNM REV 17-28 on Revelation 17 - 9 years ago
    REV 17-28...I think you will find that the Roman Catholic Order, are behind these Pagan practices, and beliefs, including the 1st day worship Sabbath , II Corinthians 11:14-15..And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light... Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to there works... II PETER 2:17-These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever... MATT 15:9--But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men... I JOHN 5:3--For this is the LOVE of GOD, that we keep HIS COMMANDMENTS... MALACHI 3:6--I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT. HE DID NOT CHANGE THE 4TH COMMANDMENT, THE 7TH DAY SABBATH, and mankind will answer to GOD for not keeping HIS LAWS. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS HOLY WORD!!!!WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! AMEN!!
  • Robbie on Revelation 17 - 9 years ago
    The catholic church has got it all wrong. Why do they have a confessions booth? why get people to ask a priest to forgive you, then he says God forgives you. They just totally deny Jesus when he said confess all your sins to me and I will forgive you. Jesus never said after he leaves the earth he will pass the responsibility onto man. Also faith is spiritual as its pointed out so many times in the bible. Faith is not holding onto a cross, praying to a statue of Many or Jesus. These are the very things he hates. If you lack faith, expose all the lies of the world and you will see more clearly. This world has lied to so many. Do not keep 25th Dec holiday, its a pagan holiday not when he died, also read Job the man perfect in the eyes of God. Job never celebrated birthdays but when his sons did, Job prayed and sanctified the house. Easter is mentioned in the bible as it was already in existence, a pagan holiday where they worshiped the sun god and ran lawless for 1 week raping and murdering, killing ect. New years eve is another pagan holiday. Remember God makes the laws, not man. So why do man disobey God? He never commanded any of these pagan holidays for us to keep. Now we have there pagan calendar with all the pagan god names for months and days. Good one mankind. Lets go back to God 's way
