False Christs (1st Seal)
Powerful Scarlet Woman
Rev 17:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
in purple - as powerful as the royalty
in scarlet - covered in blood
adorned with gold, precious stone and pearls - extremely rich
This rich and powerful harlot is covered with the blood of the saints she persecuted and killed.
golden cup - great desires, pleasures, motives and works
She seduces Christians with heretical doctrines of pleasures, limitless ambition and imbues them with great desires for wealth hoarding.
Many Facets of the Harlot
Rev 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
1. MYSTERY - false christs claiming to be the followers of Jesus.
In the last days, false teachers and false prophets will deceive many Christians. After the signing of the PLO-Israel Peace Treaty in 1993, Christian nations and churches begin to adopt all kinds of heresies, including sodomy. You will find many mockers who have lost their salvation teaching from the pulpit. They are lustful gay bishops, gay pastors and gay leaders in the church. Rich and powerful Christian leaders are scoffers who will mock watchful and godly Christians who believe they are living in the last days.
2. BABYLON THE GREAT - powerful Christian nations (mainly US and EU)
King Nebuchadnezzar was a God-fearing man who wrote to all his subjects declaring the signs and wonders that God performed in his life in Dan 4:1-3. Interestingly, when pride got in the way, he robbed God of His glory.
After the two world wars and the Great Depression, the US has become the world's richest and most powerful Christian nation. In 1962, Kennedy turned his back on God and took the Bible out from all public schools, a confirmation of the complete rejection of theocracy in the US. God rejected President Kennedy and he was assassinated in 1963.
In the 1990s, President Clinton approved sodomy and in the 2000s, President Obama passed the bill on sodomy and same-sex marriage. US is playing God and is using UN Human Rights to force all nations to accept these abominations. Otherwise, they will withhold financial support and impose trade sanctions on them.
The US today:
1. No theocracy – Bible cannot be used to run the state.
2. Bible – removed from public schools
3. Prayers - banned in public schools
4. Women's equality – rejects man as the head of the home
5. Children's rights – children can defy their parents
6. Approval of Sodomy
7. Approval of Same-Sex Marriage
3. THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Leaders of rich, powerful and heretical churches, even though they are still ministering in churches, can no longer come before His presence.
Without revelation, vision and truth, these sinful leaders resorted to teachings and wisdom of men resulting in all types of heresies:-
1. Counterfeit 'Move of the Holy Spirit' worship
In 1994, Toronto blessing at the Airport Vineyard church
In 1995, at Brownsville Assembly Of God (AOG) in Pensacola, Florida,
which reduced the worship of God similar to rowdy and noisy animals jumping around in zoos.
2. Prosperity Gospel
3. Positive Confession
4. Once saved always saved
5. Hoarding God's Money
6. Secret Rapture
7, Sodomy and same-sex marriage
8. Keeping Jewish Traditions
