Pause for thought
The great harlot initially Babylon, also symbolic of Rome but probably representing every false religion in the world, also illegitimate wealth, extravagance, pleasures and every wicked thing that enslaves men Peter equated Rome with Babylon 1 Peter 5:13, In these last days Babylon represents wickedness throughout the world, note she reigns over all people’s 17:15. In contrast with the heavenly city of Jerusalem 21:10. Babylon symbolises a wicked system hostile to God 17:4-5.
The seven mountains, Rome sits on seven mountains, but so do at least seventy seven others. The seven kings could be Roman emperors, or seven world Empires, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media Persia, Greece, Rome, and a final Empire whose roots go back to the Roman Empire of Johns day. 17: 9-11
The Ten horns or ten kings who receive power with the Antichrist could be world leaders who agree to become a confederation with him , or could they be powerful people like billionaires ( who have no kingdom yet) ? 17:12
For a long time it’s been popular to blame religion for wars and every problem, finally the beast and his allies will turn on the harlot and destroy her false religion in all its forms having ridden on the backs of many empires down the centuries, it’s important to remember that her destruction is the fulfilment of Gods plan 17:17.
A verse to remember
“Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” Isaiah 46:8-9 N.K.J.
