Subject: Who is this woman? |
Bible Note: 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.
