(A Theological Disputation)
Who is she today?
The article you are about to read was organized, and laid out using information researched and recorded from multiple religious sources, news articles, Wikipedia and of course the most important historical document, the Bible. The information found here may be offensive to some readers. This was not the intended purpose. This content was not created to judge, belittle, or stigmatize any group or person.
First, and foremost,
it needs to be understood that the woman described in Revelation 17, dressed in purple and scarlet, (the whore) is a separate entity from the creature she is mounted upon.
The beast she rides, represents many great nation(s) belonging to Satan, over the years. They were eventually driven into extinction, but one appears to have returned to life as Babylon; the Great!
The Whore’s Most Powerful Monster!
Revelation chapter 13:3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled and followed after the beast;
The head of this beast nation; Babylon; the Great,(Christos) is uniquely connected to the horns, especially the “little horn”, the false prophet. It would appear that just as the beast nation rose up from the ashes (of the abyss) like a phoenix, so also did the anti-messianic beast. The story of how it overcame what people presumed to be death is how it was able to mesmerized the world into following it. (Revelation 13:3)
The horn nations connected to the revitalized head, should not be confused with the ancient heads of the past. They are different. John explains how this revitalized head represents a future great nation, one who will lead the horns, (ergo the head) along with the entire world into perdition (damnation).
Who are these (Horn) nations today?
Unfortunately, most people today faithfully believe that these current nations (or horns) are fair and democratic societies; the epitome of justice and human rights, however, since Satan prevails as their leader, they could not be either of those things.
Let’s go back and discover just what happened to the original Woman?
Revelation 12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where a place had been prepared for her by GOD so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 day/years.
The Greek word translated as “day” hemera #2250 can also be translated as years.
Authors note: According to Revelation 12:6, there arose an imminent threat of destruction, targeted specifically against the woman, GOD’s inheritance, HIS “people.” True Yisroel, gave birth to the TRUE KING, Yehoshua the Messiah, and HIS prophets. The Bible tells us she was hidden in a prepared place.
This reveals that the opposing woman, again the whore spoken of in Revelation 17, is, an impostor. This woman, the whore, eventually became the epitome of Paganism and Idolatry around the world!
What are Pagans? The original pagans were followers of an ancient religion which included several different gods, goddesses and their symbols (polytheism).
America, the mother of whores?
America, known to many as the great Christian nation. The place where Christian Nationalists rule supreme, appears to be one of the largest polytheistic nations in the world. American Christians honor many other gods besides their Christian one. Let’s begin with Ishtar (Easter), Helios Christos (Christmas), Libertas (the statue of Liberty), Justitia (Lady Justice), Asclepius (the serpent entwined around the medical staff) used as a symbol by most professional healthcare organizations; the Caduceus is connected to Mercury and is used today by the US Army Medical Corps. Dionysus (the god of the theater) who is also recognized as the god of sex and drunken debauchery, is often evoked in modern culture; art, literature, and film. He remains a complex interplay between order and chaos. Apollo (is still recognized as the god of music); Remember, “Showtime at the Apollo.”
Did you know: Apollo was also considered the patron of same sex unions, as he had many male lovers and was often invoked to bless homosexual unions?
Even NASA’s leader, Abe Silverstein chose the name, Apollo” at home one evening, early in 1960, because he felt “Apollo riding his chariot across the Sun was appropriate to the grand scale of the proposed NASA program?”
Let’s begin at the beginning.
When we think in terms of, “true Worship,” or worship in the true and original GOD! This began with hope, faith and most of all, with love.
The origin of this saga began with one family. The FATHER (GOD), HIS SON Yehoshua, and a woman (Yisroel), who at one time represented HIS faithful people. This family started with one man, Abraham, “the father of the faithful” and expanded into two brothers.
Esau and Jacob
Abraham, begot a son, Isaac, who later beget two sons, Esau and Jacob. These two could not be more opposite of each other. (Genesis 25)
Esau, who was considered the eldest of the two, was robust and “red all over, he was described as hairy like a hairy garment,” he became a great hunter. Jacob (the younger), on the other hand, was described as a quiet man dwelling in tents. He maintained the duties of a shepherd. The narrative explains how, one day when Esau returned home from a hunt tired, famished, and too weak to prepare a meal himself, he sold his birthright (the rights normally afforded the eldest son, to the younger) for red pottage (soup) which Jacob made for him.
When Isaac, Jacob’s visually impaired father, was dying, Jacob, along with his mother, Rebekah, tricked him into giving his blessing (another birthright, meant for the eldest son) to the younger. Esau would have killed Jacob for this betrayal, had he not fled, to Laban, the house of Rebekah’s brother, to avoid his wrath.
(Around 1800 BCE) in Genesis 27: 41-43 we learn that Esau hated Jacob because his father had prayed that good would come to Jacob. Esau said to himself, “The days when I will have sorrow for the loss of my father are soon. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.” 42 But the words of her older son Esau were told to Rebekah. She called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, “See, your brother Esau comforts himself by planning to kill you. 43 So now, my son, do what I tell you. Get ready, and go at once to my brother Laban at Haran.
Some would say that Esau eventually forgave Jacob, and all the hostilities were eventually put to rest, but, this could not be further from the truth.
(Around 840 BCE. (almost one thousand years later) we learn through Obadiah (1:10-11) Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. In the day that you stood on the other side-in the day strangers carried captive his forces, when foreigners entered his gates. And cast lots for Yerushalayim – even you were as one of them.
This reveals how the feud between brothers Esau and Jacob continued centuries later and how it was further predicted to continue into the future. According to GOD, Esau’s descendants, did not deal very fairly with the descendants of Jacob.
(Around the 611 BCE) in the Book of Ezekiel 35:15 GOD said Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of Yisroel (Jacob) became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I AM the LORD.’”
Romans 9: 11-13 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12) not by works but by him who calls — she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13) Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
These scriptures reveal how treachery involving the Edomites, Esau’s descendants would come upon Yisroel, specifically the Yehudim; in the future, and how Jacob the younger would eventually prevail.
The Great Prostitute, in Purple and Scarlet, Who proudly displays her abominations.
In Revelation Chapter 17 John described a great marvel. A beast, scarlet in color with seven heads, and ten horns. The beast was bridled (controlled) by what John perceived to be a great whore. The whore was dressed in both purple and scarlet. She held a golden cup full of abominations.
Before we can decipher John’s true message about “the whore,” described in Revelation 17, (as the mother of all whores, which, we will simply refer to as, “the mother”), we must first separate each component described within his vision. The beast, the heads, the horns, the blasphemous names, the golden cup, the glittery jewels, and even the colors (purple and scarlet) all play significant roles!
The worship of the stars?
When did this ungodly behavior begin?
Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
According to Genesis 11:5 the “Tower of Babel” tells the story of Nimrod, who believed himself to be some sort of god. He attempted to create (build) his own way into heaven.
Author’s note: Terah, Abraham’s father, was well acquainted with Nimrod, the evil king, and grandson of Noah because Terah, became one of Nimrods dignified princes, Terah was also father to Haran, Nahor II (Lot’s father), and Sarai.
Joshua 24:2 Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.”
According also to the book of Jasher Chapter 7:40-41 And he (Nimrod) set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings. 41 And he placed Terah the son of Nahor the prince of his hosts (deities or idols), and he dignified him and elevated him above all his princes.
Revelation chapter 17…
Unraveling this ancient mystery!
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters.”
This ancient woman has come to represent much more than just a city, a nation or even a religion, she has become a masterful strategic movement. A movement that is actively leading the entire world today.
Revelation 17: 2 With her the kings of the earth committed idolatry, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her idolatries.”
The intoxication symbolizes spiritual unfaithfulness, idolatry, and a departure from GOD’s truth! It represents alliances with worldly powers, pagan worship and the embracing of doctrines and practices that are contrary to GOD’s will. Just as physical adultery is a betrayal of the marital covenant, spiritual fornication (idolatry) is a betrayal of our covenant with GOD.
The wine (intoxication and deception): Wine when consumed, intoxicates, distorts perception, and leads to irrational behavior. In this context, “wine” symbolizes the deceptive, intoxicating, and corrupting influence of (Ecclesiastical Babylon) it’s false teachings, worldly philosophies, and seductive allure. People who drink her wine become spiritually “drunk,” losing their spiritual discernment as well as their ability to distinguish between truth and error.
Ecclesiastical Babylon – The Roman Catholic Church led by the Pope.
The kings of the earth committed idolatry, meaning they conformed to the whore’s idolatrous worship, indoctrinating their own kingdoms into her religion and culture. The inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her idolatries, receiving wholeheartedly all of her false doctrine.
Idolatry
According to the Bible, Idols began as deified star gods. Idolatry and astrology are literally binary components of each other. Dual sides of the same coin.
In fact, as we mentioned earlier, many ancient star deities are still worshiped, and celebrated today. The goddess Ishtar, whose name literally means (a star) is the very essence of a holiday celebrated currently by most of the world as Easter (or Ēostre) established by the Catholic Church.
Christmas, another deity. Became a memorialized holiday created and set up by ancient pagans, and later re-introduced by the Catholic Church to sacralized the day as the birth of the sun god (Horus/Amen Ra/Helios). However, the god worshiped using the sun, was never actually the sun itself, but the planet, Saturn, a deity many ancients referred to as, “the hidden.” But, let’s just leave that conspiracy for another blog.
Moving on…
In many places, the word wine was also found to be synonymous with abundance, prosperity, and wealth. Affirming that, not only has “the mother” (the whore) become the successor in an abundance of ill-gotten gain for herself, she has also become the chief earner in collecting and maintaining wealth for her churches, the horn nations, and her prince!
Poor Confused Yisroel!
Thousands of years ago, in the book of, “Jeremiah,” we are given the description of a fickle woman who lies and cheats on her LORD (the Husband) using multiple partners; other gods, (paganism) in order to gain material wealth and earthly pleasures. In Revelation 17:2 it would appear that the future was predicted to be riddled in this ungodly culture.
Jeremiah 3:20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband, so you, Israel, have been unfaithful to me,” declares the LORD.
Here, in Jeremiah 3:20, it clearly states that Yisroel is the fickle woman. She (or her people) were called out specifically as being unfaithful to GOD!
But, keep in mind, this is the book of Jeremiah. By the time we reach the period of Revelation many of these behaviors would have increased to include an infinite cast of characters and a much larger scale of egregious violations.
Revelation 17: 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names having seven heads and ten horns.
The heads represented many ancient nations, currently destroyed. These ancient empires, remain anchored to Satan as confirmation of his true identity. Some of these ancient heads were regarded as Christos, Chrestos, and Christus (Blasphemous names).
Blasphemy – means expressing something disrespectful or evil towards the TRUE GOD. Among the worst forms of blasphemy are those which twist sacred truths about GOD into lies.
Daniel, however, explains that the horns, which have grown out of the final head, represent future kings who would work in league with Satan and his messianic-beast, in the final days.
Did you know: The color scarlet was used as a euphemism to describe very dirty or polluted with sin?
Holy Rome; The Origin of Christianity and the Whore
Historically, around the fourth and fifth century CE. the Roman Empire fell to multiple Germanic tribes. These tribes were from northern Scandinavia. Tribes such as the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, Lombard’s, Alemanni, Burgundians, Franks, Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, described in Daniel as horns became the Holy Roman Empire.
Ten horns, specifically, were most effective in the destruction of the Roman Empire. These tribes established new kingdoms, and collectively a new empire which they renamed, the “Holy Roman Empire. Daniel chapter 7:24, describes the origins of European nations, who today are Britain, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Sweden.
Daniel 7:24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them (the little horn); he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.
The Holy Roman Empire, officially established around 800 CE consisted of many well known European kingdoms, such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Switzerland, much of Italy, parts of France, Denmark, and Poland. It reigned for over 1,000 years ending on August 6, 1806.
Around 1585, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the rise of the British Empire began.
We know there arose many Empires over the centuries but, of all the empires that ever stood, the “British Empire” was the most monumental, absorbing over a fourth of the entire world’s landmass and population.
The British Empire was also considered the last and final empire ending in 1997.
But, Back To Mother
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones, and pearls.
Did you know; in the past, both Egyptians and Romans worshiped the pearl? Women of ancient Egypt wore pearls in their hair to flaunt their wealth. Ancient Romans believed that no other gem was more beloved or treasured. The Egyptians correlated pearls with Isis (who in Sumerian was Ishtar) the Romans correlated the gems with Venus (who was also associated with Ishtar).
Did you also know: In Judaism Purple was traditionally associated with royalty? In ancient Israel, kings and other high-ranking officials wore purple to symbolize their status and authority.
So, what does this obsession with royalty and glittery gems reveal?
They reveal how “the mother,” wishes desperately to rule. She also loves to indulge in luxuries, which is why she openly engages in harlotry and other transactional acts of whoredom to gain what she wants.
Remember, She holds a golden cup full of idolatry!
She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. (her cup is full of offerings to false gods)
Exodus 25:29 And make its plates and dishes of pure gold, as well as its pitchers and bowls for the pouring out of offerings.
In the Bible, the original woman described as the true help-mate, was often called out for her constant betrayal of her first LOVE (the GOD of her people YHWH) in the Old Testament.
Now, let’s try to uncover the role of this whore in our future!
Revelation 17:5 states…..
And on her forehead a name was written, a mystery,
“BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Mystery – an enigma, problem, question or riddle.
These three statements are believed to be descriptions of the whore,
but this is more of a question or a riddle of sorts, so maybe…
These (3) depictions are referring to (3) separate, entities, who have joined together for a single purpose….
- Babylon, The Great- The final beast nation.
- The Mother of Harlots, (political Babylon) The false religious center and
- The little horn – (the false prophet) and abomination of the Earth!
This would mean that future Babylon isn’t just one single component, but multiple evil spirits working together on behalf of Satan.
Babylon – the nation (Military Babylon) We know that this powerful Empire, is one who would rival the original. We also know that this new Babylon abducted and enslaved millions of Jacob’s inheritors. Just as it’s namesake did in the past. Lastly, the powerful force of this Apocalyptic Babylon, according to both the Bible and history, changed the natural trajectory of multiple countries throughout the world. (The British Empire)
The Mother of Harlots – the Christian nation (Political Babylon) describes not just one who openly fornicates (she worships whatever god is most beneficial) she flaunts this sinful lifestyle shamelessly, using her political prowess to brazenly influences others through wealth and favors. It began as an escape from religious persecution. These people claimed they wanted liberty, justice and economic opportunity. This desire morphed into a twisted culture of wealth driven religion, politics, and a trading system (slavery) so evil it was designed and engineered by Satan himself.
The little horn – the Theocracy (Ecclesiastical Babylon) With eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking blasphemies. We know that the Pope is literally called the “holy see.” We are also very aware of his blasphemous actions, such as exchanging GOD’s Sabbath Day with Sunday and the indoctrination of Easter and Christmas two pagan holidays!!
Later we learn in…
Revelation 17:16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the whore. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Again these creatures are presented as separate entities. They eventually turn on each other. They especially began to harbor hostility against the whore.
Woman of ill- repute!
This prostitute’s work is never done!
Purple was once associated with magic.
The color purple has been connected to wealth and royalty. The scarlet reveals she is soiled, dirty and polluted with sin and corruption.
A vile, evil spirit!
Originally, it was this corrupt spirit who was responsible for sabotaging the name of Yehoshua. It eventually caused men to exchange the true name of the SON Of GOD for the Greek, “Iesous.” Later Iesous became Jesus.
The little horn (the Pope) established the name “Jesus” into a memorialized institution.
Jesus, an extremely popular and deviant variation from the original name, Yehoshua, was created as an alternative through the Greek translation Bible entitled, the “Septuagint.” This early translation, though not often used today, is how this name, “Jesus” was first introduced to the world.
John 5:43 I have come in MY Father’s NAME, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
Due to the Septuagint, Jesus became the replacement name for Yehoshua in every Biblical text worldwide.
Do Not Blaspheme Against the HOLY SPIRIT!
Matthew 12: 31-32 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy (every evil, abusive, injurious speaking, or indignity against sacred things) will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the (HOLY SPIRIT) will not be forgiven. (32) Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the HOLY SPIRIT (BY attributing the miracles done by Me to Satan) will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
The corruption of Yehoshua’s name, unfortunately began 2300 years ago with Ptolemy the Great. Ptolemy had Old Testament Scriptures translated into Koine Greek (creating the Pentateuch). The desecration was elevated further through his son, Ptolemy II, who commissioned seventy two Hebrew Scholars (six from every tribe) to translate more Hebrew scriptures into the Greek Septuagint.
But, did you know…
According to the Bible, at least ten of the twelve tribes of Yisroel were taken by the Assyrians and assimilated into other nations centuries earlier?
2nd Kings 17:16-18 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves metal images of two calves; and they made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal. 17) And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings and used divination and omens and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 18) Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but the tribe of Judah (Yehudim) only.
According to the Bible, 2nd Kings 17:16-18, there were no 12 tribes during the time of Ptolemy I and II. In 722 BCE, at least 500 years before the Septuagint, 10 of the 12 Yisroel tribes were carted off into captivity by the Assyrians.
So, why isn’t it acknowledged by early Christians and Theologians that the tale spawned by Ptolemy II, about the Septuagint’s translation is a fabrication, a straight up lie? Why do Jews and others continue to protect the origins of this book?
According to Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, “Until two thousand and three hundred day/ years (2300); then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” It would appear that this desecration against GOD and the truth somehow began with the translation of the Septuagint, 2300 hundred years ago.
So now the question is, Who exactly is “True Yisroel” today?
Revelation 12:4 The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment He was born.
Here’s a suggestion: Find the “TRUE SON” and you will find the “True mother”. Today we have a group of people, who reside in current Israel. From their perspective and by their own testimonies, they are Israel. Yet, after assisting in a monumental global deception, introducing their universally received and well respected native son, “Jesus”, onto the world stage, they, themselves refuse to receive him. They continue to dis-regard his entire existence. Why? The answer may not be what you think.
We know according to John, that after the (true) woman was safely hidden by GOD; Satan, began using this very moment to deceive the world into not only rejecting the truth, but exchanging it for a lie.
In the past, the whore (then an evil spirit) would have presented herself as the original accuser of the brethren, an enemy to Yehoshua and HIS disciples, who were birthed directly from the “true mother” (Yisroel).
I saw that the woman (the whore) was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Yehoshua. When I saw her I was greatly astonished. Rev 17:6
In Revelation 12:6, it tells us that the woman (True Yisroel) fled into a place prepared for her by GOD, where she might be taken care of for 1260 day/years. This acknowledges to all that in the final years no one would know the identity of True Yisroel, not even they, themselves.
Since John has confirmed that true Yisroel was safely hidden, who exactly is the woman, who so publicly claims to be Israel today?
Revelation 11:13 say’s, At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed (piptō). Seven thousand people were killed (destroyed) in the earthquake or seismic activity..
The Greek word seismos was translated with the English word earthquake.
piptō – to descend from a higher place into a lower one, metaphorically to fall under judgment, or condemnation.
This is describing that a large number of the people were killed, and those who remained, fell under condemnation and were terrified.
Eventually the survivors gave glory to the GOD of heaven.
The Greek word translated as hour, “hora” can also be described as a “season” or a “time.”
For those keeping score,
So far:
the Dragon failed at his attempt to destroy the SON of GOD, so he simply imitated HIM using an impostor.
The Dragon also failed in his attempt to destroy “the woman,” (true Yisroel) so he has imitated her as well, creating a counterfeit nation, religion and people. He has also rewritten history to include multiple alternative religions, flooding the world with false histories, mis-information and false doctrines, in an attempt to eliminate the true Yehudim and the lost tribes forever.
Because the inheritance, True Yisroel (described as “a woman”) remains hidden, Satan has used this time (the final 1260 years specifically) to seize and misrepresent GOD’s true people on the global stage.
Ezekiel 34:11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
Today the whole world follows the beast Rev.13:3
In the past….
(about 2,000 years ago) When Yehoshua walked the earth.
The Herodian Party, led by Edomites, descendants of Esau, were a very influential group, containing Sadducees and scribes. All were dedicated to keeping Herod, also an Edomite, and his family on the throne. This Included the party of the Pharisees, a sect who also governed over the Yehuda and equally plotted against Yehoshua.
GOD’s Promise to Esau’s Descendants!
Jeremiah 49:10-12 But ME? I will strip Esau (Edom) bare. I will expose his hiding places, and he will find no place to take cover. His offspring, family and acquaintances will perish, and there will be no one left to say, 11) Leave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive; and let your widows trust in me. 12) The LORD proclaims: the innocent must drink the cup, why do you expect to escape punishment? You won’t! You will drink it!
Author’s note: the Yehudim (Jacob), which included the Levites fought many difficult battles against the Edomites over generations. During the 2nd century BCE, while (Levite) brothers Maccabee led the rebellion against Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Seleucid Empire, Edomites begin to also launch their own attack against the Yehudim.
In fact it is recorded that around 586 BCE, during the fall of the first temple, Edomites attacked the Yehudim, looting the first temple resulting in even further damage.
2nd Maccabees 10: 14 When Gorgias became governor of Idumea, he kept a force of mercenaries and attacked the Jews (Yehudim) at every opportunity. 5 Not only this, but the Idumeans themselves controlled certain strategic fortresses and were constantly harassing the Jews (Yehudim). They welcomed those who fled from Yerushalayim and did everything they could to keep the country in a perpetual state of war. 16 So Judas Maccabeus and his men, after offering prayers for God’s help, rushed out and made a vigorous attack against the Idumean fortresses. 17 They beat back those who were defending the walls and captured the fortresses, killing everyone they found, a total of about 20,000 people.
Eventually, the Edomites (also known as Idumeans) were defeated, becoming prisoners’ of war, they were later compelled to renounce their pagan gods. This particular branch of Idumeans were assimilated into the Hebrew faith and culture. This took place during the Hasmonean Dynasty (140 BCE – 37 BCE). Some of this information can be found in the books of Maccabees (1 and 2).
The Roman Republic began to overtake the Hasmonean Dynasty in 63 BCE. Herod the Great (also an Idumean), successfully replaced the last of the reigning Hasmonean rulers in 37 BCE.
This is the origin of modern Judaism, it explains how politics and religion, both tools of Satan begin to rule Jerusalem.
Interesting Facts: Herod I, leader of the Yehudim, in Rome, born around 72 BCE, in Idumea (Southern Jordan) was the second son of Antipater. He was not a member of the tribe of Yisroel (Yehuda) but was in fact an Idumean (an Edomite, descendant of Esau).
Let’s revisit verse (4) where the whore (the mother) is holding a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries (idolatries)!
What could this possibly mean?
Maybe, it is revealing...
that she, “the mother,” was the original facilitator, who taught future religions and nations to fine tune and perfect their bargaining strategies, their Quid pro quo, and other salacious acts performed for the sole purpose of manipulation, obtaining wealth, spreading lies and gaining a political advantage.
In this same spirit of selfish gain, Herod the Idumean obtained the power and backing needed, through the Romans, to secure his position over all Yehudim. In doing this, Herod successfully created, Political Israel.
Today Political Israel, which was usurped by the Idumeans in the past, remain under the rule of Gentiles, according to Luke 21:24.
Even John admits in Revelation 17:6, that when he saw this woman (the whore), he was greatly astonished.
7) Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
More about the beast, and Babylon, “the Great?”
Revelation 17: 8 The beast (the head of the great nation), which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come. This beast which appeared to re-generate from death, rose from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea (as brutal European Conquerors).
These conquerors brought into fruition, wars, epidemics, slavery, colonialism, mass murder and every conceivable horror you could imagine. They restructured almost every ancient kingdom, island and territory into a religion and culture, resembling their own.
The Seven Hills!!
Verse 9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman is seated.
These seven heads not only represent seven famous mounts or hills, but also seven powerful princes responsible for spreading Satan’s deception world wide. Even though “the mother” began as Rome, today she has successfully become much larger and deadlier. Her influence has spread throughout many nations and onto every continent.
Oh mother! What on earth have you become?
According to scripture, this mysterious woman became, “the mother of all whores,” a seductress leading kings along with entire nations to their doom. A giant force who like an octopus has her tentacles globally integrated into every political, financial, and military system on earth.
America, influencing many multitudes, people nations, and languages)
Did you know that America merits 4th in multi-lingual countries, with citizens speaking between 350 – 430 different languages. It is 2nd in Maritime Boundaries, and third in population?
America (USA)
Of course America maintains multiple diplomatic relationships throughout the world. Her reach expands to 180 countries while also maintaining relations with multiple international organizations. These relationships total more than 250 internationalist posts around the world.
America, the Great, Christian nation currently has shown us, it cares much more about money and gaining a political advantage then it ever care about Justice, Love or humanitarian efforts.
Political Israel
Did you know: As of 2020, Political Israel holds diplomatic ties with 164 of the 193 member states of the United Nations? She is also diplomatically tied to the Holy See, Kosovo, the Cook Islands and Niue.
Ecclesiastical Babylon
And even though we here on this website have continued to reveal the Pope and his church as the eighth horn, the little horn (Ecclesiastical Babylon), and the false prophet, you should also know that he hold’s multiple diplomatic relations. At least 183 of them in fact. In addition the Vatican holds diplomatic ties with the European Union and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
It would appear that these religions, which claim to be centered around truth and holiness are much more concerned with power, politics and money!
The Number Eight (8)
Verse 9 tells us that the seven heads have a dual meaning, they represent seven mounts, or hills. But, they also represent seven (kings) empires, which would ultimately lead to an eighth.
This Describes an eighth head and an eighth horn?
Satan’s finale kingdom re-animated!
It would appear that the last and final empire was Christos ruling through the British Empire originally one of the ten horns. It became the most powerful, of all the horns giving birth to a newer end time globalist system, which became, America.
We also learned in Revelation, that an eighth horn, the littlest horn, replaced three of the original ten, uprooting them as it emerged into prominence.
The eighth horn…..
The story of how the Papacy gained it’s powerful, commanding seat is explained in Daniel 7. This horn also described as, the little horn, with eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking very great things is currently referred to as the “holy see.” A term described literally in the book of Daniel chapter 7 verse 8.
Daniel 7: 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man (the holy see), and a mouth speaking great things (Blasphemy).
Of the ten original tribes, the Saxons, the Franks, the Alamanni, the Visigoth, the Suev, the Lombards and the Burgundians. Three were purged from history, the Heruli, the Vandals and the Ostrogoths.
Revelation 17 Verse 10 also tells us...
Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.
This describes the ancient kingdoms of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece (the five originals heads who had fallen) The Roman Empire became the 6st head, the ruling power during John’s time. It was followed by a seventh; Dual Empires, “the Holy Roman/ Byzantine Empires.” Each ruling a thousand years, reflected in Daniel, chapter 2, where Nebuchadnezzar described them as two iron legs. One residing in the east and the other in the west.
Verse 9
This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. It would appear that John is describing the geographical origin of the whore, Papal Rome, or (Ecclesiastical Babylon) which literally sit on seven hills.
Verse 11, As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth (the British Empire), but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
Money, Trade and Secret Deals!
And the woman (today through Protestantism has become the USA) which thou sawest is that great city, “nation” which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
These kings openly engage in fully transactional deals with “the mother.” As a result these nations through economic trade and other political dealings continue to maintain a posh and comfy standard of living.
Did you know that in the past, the papacy (Roman Catholic Church), found themselves in financial peril. It’s true, in 1832, after the Napoleonic Wars, James Mayer de Rothschild, of Rothschild & Co (a family institution of wealthy Jews), loaned the Vatican 400,000 dollars, which would be like over 4 billion dollars today.
Why on earth would they do that?
Today the Rothschild & Co advisory arm has been consistently ranked among the top 10 deal makers in Europe. The firm is recorded to have over $100 billion in assets under management.
It’s all about the Benjamin’s Baby!
Currently, the Church of Rome receives almost a billion dollars a year in contributions? Believe it, or not, all these funds do not account for the majority of her excessive wealth. Today the Catholic Church earns billions of dollars through commercial investments, real estate management, and other self generated services. Over 65% of her capital is generated through these means.
Revelation 17 Verse 12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings (future) who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
The beast, meaning the apocalyptic nations ruled by Satan.
Satan’s final stand!
In the past she was revered as Babylon, but who is she today?
The British Empire!
The British Empire literally became the last of the great world empires, not ending until 1997. In the early 1900’s she became the most powerful Empire of all.
During her peak, the British Empire either enslaved, conquered, or colonized a fourth of the entire world (landmass, as well as its population). The British absorbed more territories and people than any other Kingdom ever. No one has matched her dominance. In 1922, Britain became the largest empire the world had ever seen, absorbing at least 30% of Africa. Britain was even the most successful in spreading Christianity, more successful than the Catholic Church) It was also notorious for it’s participation in the slave trade.
Just as Babylon, under Nebuchadnezzar, carted away millions of Yehudim, so equally did the British Empire. They were responsible for abducting and enslaving millions of Yehudim. This Began around 1562, by 1740 the British Empire had become the world’s largest and most successful slave-traders. The British Empire also maintain powerful leadership roles in governments such as present day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh until 1947.
Hong Kong remained under British control until 1997.
Daniel 7: 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Europe, featuring the British Empire became the world’s final curse!
Between 1492 and 1940 European powers decimated many nations through colonization, conquering and establishing empires. By the beginning of World War I, 1014 Europeans controlled 84% of the globe.
The British Empire (along with other European nations) are not only responsible for the final shattering of the holy people. They literally took the entire earth (landmass and all), smashed it into pieces, and re-assimilated it into what they choose.
Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast, Satan.
14) These shall make war with the LAMB (Yehoshua), and the LAMB shall overcome them; for He is LORD of lords, and KING of kings; and they that are with HIM are called, chosen, and faithful followers.
Remember, this final one thousand year battle is spiritual. It was never about obtaining, gaining, defending or maintaining physical land, territories or properties. This is a spiritual battle raging among us continually throughout time. It involves every man and woman. Each individual must choose to defend in their own way, the truth. Holding firm to GOD’s righteousness.
15) And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
The world’s Greatest Manipulator!
She is revealed as the one most responsible for leading entire nations into abominable sin. This began with the toxic spirit of Satan, who led men to exchange Yehoshua’s name for a pagan one. Later it manipulated the governing bodies of the Sadducees, Pharisees and Scribes. It continued with the usurping of Levite leadership overthrowing the Hasmonean Dynasty using Roman manipulation to gain political power. These treacherous actions led to Yehoshua’s execution.
Did you know: according to Wikipedia, Agrippa II, aided Emperor Vespasian and his son general Titus, in their destruction of the second Hebrew Temple? Agrippa II sent 2000 troops to aid the Romans in their battle against the Yehudim.
He was the last of the Herodians; so with his death around 100 CE. It was perceived that his legacy, (the legacy of Herod’s family) finally ended.
Herod Agrippa II was also the one who heard Paul’s defense of the gospel and famously rejected his appeal to be saved.
It would also appear that “In some Jewish tradition stemming from the Talmud, it is believed that descendants of Esau actually became the Romans (and to an even larger extent, much of Europe.)”
This all makes perfect sense when we acknowledge how both Jacob and Esau had twelve sons (nations). Unfortunately Jacobs family which at one time rivaled the stars, became greatly diminished due to the many curses brought upon them through their abominable practices. On the other hand, through their alliances with Satan, and the rest of the heathen world, Esau’s family continued to grow, prosper, and flourish into countless numbers over multiple generations.
Obadiah 1:12 You should not gloat over your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Yehuda in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble. 13) You should not march through the gates of MY people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster.
The Destruction!
Isaiah 24:21 It shall come to pass in that day that the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones (their pagan gods), And on earth the kings of the earth.
No Honor Among Thieves!
According to the Bible…
Revelation 17:16 And “the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast, they will hate the whore (the mother) they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her with fire. 17) For GOD has put it into their hearts to accomplish HIS purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until GOD’s words are fulfilled.
Placing the descriptions accordingly, America becomes the whore? According to John’s description, the horns and the beast will become hostile toward the whore, make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her with fire!
Remember beginning in the time of Daniel, these horns were described as ten. Later the ten became seven, then eight, and back to ten again. This tells us that these kings who work in conjunction with the whore, continue to change with the progression of time. In the past the horns consisted of European fixtures such as France, Germany, Britain, and the Netherlands.
Did you also know: It was the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes who successfully usurped Israel for the Idumeans. They were the original accusers of Yehoshua and HIS disciples. His blood, and the blood of those who bore testimony to HIM falls upon them and their descendants.
The Herodian Party (also Idumeans), were equally involved in the plot to keep Herod, the descendant of Esau, on the throne in leadership over the Yehudim.
John 10:16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. GOD never gave up on any of HIS children. All twelve tribes will be restored according to Yehoshua!
Luke 19:9 And Yehoshua said unto him, this day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. (10) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Twelve were lost, and twelve (12) tribes, not just one, will be restored! Remember Revelation 14 speaks of the 144,000 which became a combination of all 12 tribes.
Did you know that both King David and Yehoshua haMashiach were born in Bethlehem and died in Yerushalayim?
3,000 years ago, Yerushalayim became “the great city,” based on David’s understanding of GOD’s own choice. Yerushalayim has been considered the capital of Yisroel for thousands of years.
In Luke 21 Yeshua said, speaking specifically of the Yehudi and Yerushalayim….
For there shall be distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
(ESV) “And they shall fall by the sword (be killed) and shall be led away captive into all the nations and Yerushalayim will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
Take note, that the 4th beast, the diverse one, represented the last four world rulers, beginning with the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman/ Byzantine Empires, and lastly, the British Empire, until the time of the Gentiles or the worldly nations of men are fulfilled.”
In 1918, after World War I ended, the British Empire took control over Palestine, bringing an end to the 400-year Ottoman Empire.
This was also the time when the Rothschilds, one of the richest and most prestigious European families, took financial hold of 5% of Palestine’s fertile land for Russian Jews.
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War. It was an announcement of support for the establishment of a “national home for Jewish people (Ashkenazim)” in Palestine.
On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) which divided Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end.
Luke 21:24 seem to reaffirm that whatever was left of the tribes of true Yisroel either fled in terror, was dislodged and carted off, or murdered. The Yehudim were scattered beyond the four winds centuries ago, permanently disconnected from the land.
Revelation 3:9 Behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews (Yehudim) but are not, but do lie- behold, I will make them to come and worship at thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
It was stated in the Britannica, that Synagogues may thus be considered a pharisaic (Pharisees) (institution, since they were the ones to developed it, raised it to high eminence and gave it a central place in Jewish religious life.
The Pharisees asserted that God could and should be worshiped even away from the Temple and outside of Yerushalayim. To the Pharisees, worship consisted not in bloody sacrifices—the practice of the Temple priests—but in prayer and in the study of God’s law.
But, the Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.
According to Wikipedia, The Pharisees emerged largely out of a group of scribes and sages. Some scholars even observed significant Idumean influences in the development of Pharisaical Judaism.
Do you see where all this is leading?
There seems to be a clear line which begins with Esau and ends right at the feet of the Pharisees, scribes and sages who manipulated Yisroel and caused Yehoshua’s death. These manipulations and corruptions which were practiced throughout ancient Jerusalem continue to be practice currently. These corruptions were later passed into other religions such as Islam and Christianity.
Did you know: After the fall of the Yehudim, Yisroel was completely empty of GOD’s people?
Eventually Canaanites, many mixed with Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian began to take refuge in the area (today’s Palestinians). Centuries later, an organization of Ashkenazi (Jewish) believers along with other Eastern Europeans who had adopted ancient Hebrew religious rites and customs, were gifted land in Palestine through their European allies.
Israel; The New Nation!
Multiple governments and wealthy Zionist contributors aided in financially establishing the new nation of Israel, sighting that it was a gift given from God. Ignoring their own manipulation. These contributors, aided in housing Eastern Europeans into Israeli settlements, many not connected through DNA, but as convert into the Jewish religion. Unfortunately, I don’t think this was what John intended when he wrote chapter 10 verse 16.
How about a Little Quid Pro Quo?
According to Wikipedia, Jewish settlements in important towns such as London, Norwich and Lincoln prospered. It would also appear that out of all the many skills and talents afforded the British Jewish population, money lending was their primary source of income. They became fundamental to the English working economy.
In 1917, in order to win Jewish support for Britain’s First World War efforts, the British forged the Balfour Declaration (the promise to establish a Jewish national home in what was at the time Ottoman-controlled Palestine).
quote
A large majority of surviving Jews in the world are of Eastern European descent. They are presumed to be mainly of Khazar (Turkic) origin. This would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race.
Arthur Koestler; The Thirteenth Tribe
Today many countries continue to finance the Israeli Government.
According to service.gov.uk; Total UK exports to Israel amounted to £3.6 billion in the four quarters to the end of 2023 (an increase of 9.1% or £298 million in current prices, compared to the four quarters to the end of 2022).
As of November 2, the German government has approved exports close to 303 million euros’ (323 million) worth of defense equipment to Israel.
Even China appears to have invested 15 billion in the Israeli economy.
Financial payments and military weapons of support are also given to Israel from the United States. In 2020, the United States gave $3.8 billion (yes, that is billion with a “b”) in aid to Israel as part of a long-term, yearly commitment made under the Obama administration. All of this aid was for military assistance. This agreement, signed by President Obama In 2016 offers an overall package of 38 billion in military aid over a decade from 2017-2028. In addition to this, in 2021 the US gave 5 million towards resettling Jewish immigrants.
The question is, why is everyone giving Israel so much money?
That’s a great question, I believe many of these so called religious nations use their connection to Israel and the Pope as a way to legitimize their own national religions. Many of these governments, like the US, are secretly funded by Zionist donors, who encourage these nations to invest government funding in Israel to force it’s power worldwide. This again is a fully transactional relationship used to promote political agendas, not religion!
2nd Esdras 6: 8-9 He said to me, ” From Abraham to Isaac, because Jacob and Esau were born from him, but Jacob’s (Yisroel’s) hand held Esau’s heel from the outset. 9) Esau represents the end of this age and Jacob represents the beginning of the age that follows!
Obadiah 1: 1-14
To America, Britain, the Pope and Christianity, the end is coming!
The LORD GOD gave Obadiah a message about Edom, and this is what we heard: “I, the LORD, have sent a messenger with orders for nations to attack Edom.”
2 The Lord said to Edom (Esau): I will make you the weakest and most despised nation. 3 You live in a mountain fortress, because your pride makes you feel safe from attack, but you are mistaken. 4 I will still bring you down, even if you fly higher than an eagle or nest among the stars. I, the Lord, have spoken!
5 If thieves break in at night, they steal only what they want. And people who harvest grapes always leave some unpicked. But, Edom, you are doomed! 6 Everything you treasure most will be taken from you. 7 Your allies can’t be trusted.
8 Edom, when this happens, I, the Lord, will destroy all your marvelous wisdom.
10 You were cruel to your relatives, the descendants of Jacob. Now you will be destroyed, disgraced forever. 11 You stood there and watched as foreigners entered Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) and took what they wanted. In fact, you were no better than those foreigners 12 Why did you celebrate when such a dreadful disaster struck your relatives? Why were you so pleased when everyone in Judah (Yehuda) was suffering?
13 They are my people, and you were cruel to them. You went through their towns, sneering and stealing whatever was left.
The true Whore of Revelation!
Authors note: It appears that the descendants of Edom became the true whore of Revelation. But, he represents so many things equated to the end. Edom or Esau, unfortunately transformed into many nations over time. Nations whom over the years have wreaked absolute havoc around the world. Currently America, Satan’s most prestigious, constitutional republic; the light on the proverbial hill, is that final remarkable creation! America (political Babyon) represents Satan’s pure unmitigated unrighteousness clothed in self righteous indignation.
It was through America, that Satan has become his most powerful! Radiating brightly through Libertas, mesmerizing people everywhere. America has become the image of everything people most desire and idolize. It brandishes a dream of a perfect life with a picket fence, flashing money and success. Yet in reality the truth is stranger then fiction. Most Americans who appear drenched in wealth and extravagance, have pretty much sold their souls to do so. Ameriica was built on blood, racism and slavery! It’s a place where dangerous religious zealots have spent years openly hunting victims at night. A place where Christian Nationalist engage in religious terrorism!
In creating the constitution the founders, most of them slave owners, hid their countless crimes, cruelties and injustices in plain site. Liberty (defined as being free from oppression) has always been it’s most successful delusion; believe me, many Blacks and Native Americans can vehemently agree. America, which maintains the largest Christian population in the world, is a stolen land that was unapologetically constructed in the blood and sacrifice of it’s slaves.
Remember, there are three evil spirits working to accomplish one powerful goal!
- Babylon, the Great, the final beast nation
- The Mother of Harlots the final religious nation. and
- The little Horn; the abomination of the Earth
