Babylon the Great
There is a new movement in the so called "Christian" right that unfortunately I think is preparing for a Antichrist of some sort. This is some thing I expected to happen in the world but since revelations mentions the harlot (whore usually a someone or something dear to God that fell away) riding the beast I guess i should have expected it. They are actually claiming that Trump was Prophesied in the bible.One even claimed he was some sort of Christ come to turn laws upside down because the old ones were not working. I know that some of their stuff can be extreme but this new direction they are going scares me. Even if Trump does not win sooner or later some one is going to come along that might fit the bill. God help us all if that person also Joins hands with some of the other world powers that already are dictators.
Why do I think the Christian Right is the Harlot? Because they worship power, money and things. They have abandoned the basic teachings of Christ. They have become just like the Pharisee's in Christs day. A lot them think the it fits the Catholic Church but when you point fingers four always point back at you. Something Christ also taught in Matthew 7:5. I am not going to say that the left is completely right either but they do have some things right and the basics are social justice and helping the needy. God has always had a soft spot for those that are the most vulnerable. So they and those in the past who have put to death many Christians who did not nothing wrong other then disagree with the powers in the church are the ones who will face Christ when the time comes and I would not want to be in their shoes.
As for me I doubt that anyone will take my warnings serious. They never do until it is too late. IT has been my curse my entire life. Why should now be any different.
Revelation 17 International Standard Version (ISV)
The Vision of Babylon the Great 17 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and told me, “Come, I will show you how the notorious prostitute who sits on many waters will be judged. 2 The kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and those living on earth became drunk with the wine of her immorality.”
3 Then the angel[a] carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was controlled by blasphemy.[b] It had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman wore purple and scarlet clothes and was adorned with gold, gems, and pearls. In her hand she was holding a gold cup filled with detestable things and the impurities of her immorality. 5 On her forehead was written a secret name:
Babylon the Great,
the Mother of Prostitutes
and Detestable Things of the Earth
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. I was very surprised when I saw her.
7 “Why are you surprised?” The angel asked me. “I will tell you the secret of the woman and the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw existed once, but is no longer, and is going to crawl out of the bottomless pit[c] and then proceed to its destruction. Those living on earth, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will be surprised when they see the beast because it was, is no longer, and will come again. 9 This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is sitting. They are also seven kings. 10 Five of them have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must remain in power[d] for a little while. 11 The beast that was and is no longer is the eighth king,[e] but it belongs with the seven kings[f] and goes to its destruction. 12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom. They will receive authority to rule[g] as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 They have one purpose: to give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will wage war against the lamb, but the lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are called, chosen, and faithful are with him.”
15 The angel[h] also told me, “The bodies of water you saw, on which the prostitute is sitting, are people, multitudes, nations, and languages. 16 The ten horns and the beast you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her abandoned and naked. They will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has placed within them a desire to carry out his purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast until God’s words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
