Hi Searcher56. In order to put your question into perspective, it would be wise to read the whole of Chapters 17, and 18, from which the extracts bellow have been taken. 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.[fn2] 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. Rev 17:18 "And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." I have heard it said, that the city refereed to in v 18, is "Rome", the home of the false religion known as the, "Roman Catholic Church", others, however, will I have no doubt have something to say on this subject. ebrain. |

3 | Who is this woman? | Rev 18:4 | stjohn | 186911 | ||
Hello Edwin, I would agree that the woman is a symbol of Rome, and the Roman Catholic Church. But more than that, it/She, is a symbol of the apostasy that is found in all the churches of the world today. I believe it was John Gill that said, and I am paraphrasing, "The day after the rapture, there will be Congregations that will not miss a single member." The Harlot, is a frightening picture of what is to come in the Great Tribulation. But even in that day, God will still be offering salvation. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. And even beyond the apostolic church, She is a picture of the riches and lusts of the lost world. 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. I think v7 is an example of what Jesus points to in Chapter 3:17 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: And, this false Church, will deceive the rulers of the world. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, God bless. John |
