Bible Question:
Who are the people - Jews, Christians, someone else? Who is this woman? What are her sins? Are the plagues upon her or does she cause them? When they "come out of her" where are they to go? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
