Chapters 17 And 18
A strange thing!
A city,
called a woman,
"..riding upon a (red) beast..
..having seven heads and ten horns" (17:3)
..having seven heads and ten horns" (17:3)
We met this beast in Lesson Three.
The woman, called "Babylon"
And Harlot - Greek word "pornos"
- Who did corrupt the earth with her "porneia"
(translated wantonness, etc.) (From 19:2)
- The city reigns over the kings/politicians of the Earth, who are in bed with her.
And she made the merchants wealthy. (Verse 18:3)
In one hour such great wealth is brought to ruin! -
The merchants will weep because no one buys their merchandise anymore — cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and chariots; and human beings as slaves. (Verses 18:11-13,17)
She sits on seven hills,
making them drunk with her wine (17:2,9) Corrupting the earth. (Verse 19:2)
Her judgment/results/consequences will come in one day,
death, mourning, famine and fire. (18:8)
And great hail... debris? (16:21)
Come out of her, my people - (18:4)
The ten horns of the red beast, which are kings/divisions/toes during very last days,
will hate her, consume her, and make her desolate. (17:16)
Extreme socialism will (at last)..
..do away with extreme capitalism
(which embraced "pornos" to "sell").
And on her forehead (psyche)...
Is written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
(Mystery Babble - all untruth?)
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints,
and of all who were slain upon earth. (18:24)
"In one hour" she crashes?
And "in one day" she will fall.
