Revelation 17

By Bill Weather

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Some Bible prophecy teachers have limited the Great Whore to be the Papacy, the harlot church because of her idolatry, and being in bed with politics, i.e. with the kings of the earth. However, as we will see, the woman is not limited to just the Papacy and her extended arm of idolatry.

The metaphor used here is of a people who have gone astray with idolatry. In the old testament, God, through the prophets, would often call Israel a harlot when she went astray to worship other gods, so very often going astray with idolatry and accuse her of adultery or fornication when doing so. So here we see in the language God uses, that there is a people guilty of the spiritual fornication of idolatry involved.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Here is the seven heads and ten horn beast from the past the woman has rode to gain power and influence, with each head and horn named. However, this beast in Revelation 17 is scarlet colored and was not described that way earlier in Revelation 13. By this, we see, there are similar, but different versions of the beast, as time in history moves on.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Here we see, the woman is dressed in purple and scarlet. Is it a coincidence that the Roman Catholic priests, bishops and cardinals wear purple and scarlet?

She is decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. This describes excessive riches and hording of wealth. This describes well the harlot church with her billions in gold and billions more in her publicly self confessed, stock market investments.

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

This woman is a part of the mystery religions that were evolved from first beginning in ancient Babylon, with the Tower of Babel, down through the ages to Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo Persia, Greece, and then to the Roman empire, which was adopted by this harlot church centered in Rome.

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

This woman is drunken with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. There is no doubt about who this woman is. It is the Latin Kingdom of the Papacy. All throughout Europe, Spain and the Middle East with her inquisitions, killed millions of saints. Foxes Book of Martyrs documents it well. There is no other entity even coming close to this description than the Latin Papal Kingdom of the dark ages.

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

The beast was, because its from the past; is not because parts of the beast was yet to be formed; and yet is, because at the time Revelation was given in the first century, the present at that time, 6th head of the beast was reigning, which was the Roman Empire.

The word perdition here means everlasting destruction. There is a final version of the beast, who will go into everlasting destruction and be no more.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

There is a what I see a two fold meaning to this. The Harlot church sits on “the 7 hills of Rome”, which physically manifests her identity, but the heads and mountains which this woman sits is also those mystery, from ancient Babylon religions adopted from those 7 head kingdoms of the beast we covered earlier. She was riding those different kingdom versions of the beast to gain her wealth and influence. This is a more broad view than just seeing this woman as the Papacy because the Papacy’s religion evolved from the past 7 head kingdoms. Think of it as this same harlot in Rome was in Babylon and Greece flaunting her idolatry. They just changed the names of the Greek gods to Jesus, Mary and the veneration of saints and was never married to Christ. Here we see, the woman is not limited to just the Latin Papal Kingdom, but as we are about to find out, like in the past, can alter and become more than just Papal Rome.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

As we covered earlier, at the time Revelation was given, was the first century and in the first century, the 5 fallen were the 5 kingdoms who ruled over the Jews, which were the only people God was dealing with over the BC centuries, so those 5 fallen kingdoms who ruled Judea were Babylon, MedoPersia, Greece, Ptolemaic Egypt and the Syrian Seleucids. Then Rome came and was ruling in the first century. That would be the “one is” at that first century time Revelation was given. That's an anchor in time that has no arguments against it. The 6th was the Roman Empire. The 7th is described as coming to rule for just a short time. That would be the Ostrogoths who then ruled for 45 years. They were the ones who had overthrown the 6th head, the Roman Empire. So the 6th was replaced by the 7th, the Ostrogoths.

A great big misunderstand arises from not recognizing that once God used the Romans to judge and scatter the Jews in the AD 70 destruction of Jerusalem, his word and his saints then were scattered mainly throughout the Roman Empire. We see in history his gospel did not prosper and take hold going east, but went west through the empire. We see this today in that India and China are not Christian, but the west was or is mostly built by Christians of Europe, England and then America.

So the prophecies of Revelation are going west, not east. His word and spiritual kingdom is advancing through going west, so we then should look for the prophetic events, over time, bringing to pass events going west also. God knew the East in various ways would forbid his word from even being heard, let alone written or advance in print. The Middle East Muslim wall strictly forbade it and still does in many ways today.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Because this eighth head version of the beast is going into perdition, which means everlasting destruction, it will be the final head version of the beast.

Here is where students of prophecy cannot discern that from this verse on, is where we presently can divide the past from the future. Because they don’t understand the timeline of Revelation, they are conjuring many false end time prophecy scenarios. Here we see, there is “the 8th” head version of the beast that is presently forming and making alliances with Russia and China, as will be better explained.

One thing every student of prophecy must realize, is, they cannot just go on and ignore the real world of geo politics and the major players involved. Their made up end time fictional scenarios are doing just that, in trying to conjure a one world global government forming, but that is not what Revelation shows. It shows “the eighth” head version of the beast verses the woman and as we are about to find out, it’s really just the east vs the west, in China and Russia being the east (the 8th) verse the US lead Western Empire (the woman). This is the real world of our bi-polar geo political world and prophecy students are not even talking about this scenario. They’re diverted with CBDC, an Antichrist superman to come and other scripture which has already been fulfilled. From Revelation 17:11 on, is all that is left to fulfill in prophecy, as is well proven at prophecybase.com in the other commentaries of Revelation.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These are not the same ten horns of the previous version of the beast from Revelation 13. This is proven in that the time frame given for their reign was 42 prophetic months or 1260 day/years. These 10 horns however, are only in power with this eighth head version of the beast for “one hour.” No description in the previous version of the beast, like in Rev 12 or 13, had it going into perdition. Only this version of the beast. This also tells us, that because a version of the beast can take decades or centuries to form, it can only be possible that this eighth head version of the beast is for our day, since its the last one to go into perdition, unless you believe we have many years left before Jesus comes, to form another head of the beast, which many Christians find gullible and also because the 6000th year is almost here.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These ten horns or kings are really countries and it will be a ten nation coalition, and as we are soon to see, will be formed by Russia and China leading it.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Here again, is another obvious scripture evidence, that this is the final version of the beast before Christ comes to destroy it at his coming.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

This verse shows the woman is not just the Papacy, but is, in this now eighth head version era, different and she sits in a multitude of nations. Verse 3 says the woman was sitting on the 7 heads of the beast, but no where in Revelation does it say the woman is sitting on the 8th head version. The woman is not riding the 8th, but the woman and the 8th, are now enemies.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Here we see a picture of the woman gets attacked by the ten horns of the 8th head version of the beast. This is a picture of our bi polar world of the east vs the west in World War III as I will further prove below.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The East, lead by Russia and China are going to be given “their kingdom”. This shows the woman is a kingdom, but is really, this present western empire in power. The next verse is huge in proving this.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

So the woman is also that great city that is in power over the kings or countries of the earth. That would be our present western empire lead by the US. The US controls much globally. Our armed forces all over the world are mostly a deterant to communist aggression and tyrants.

There is a huge factor that plays a big part in the interpretation to all of this, that was told to us back in Revelation 16:19, which is more explained at rev16code.blogspot.com.

And that great city was divided into 3 parts and the cities of the nations fell…”

In order to have correct interpretation, we must first define who that great city is in Revelation 17. We know, according to the descriptions in Revelation 17, that the woman is that great city, who sits in many nations and who reigns over the kings or countries of the earth. But Revelation 16:19 told us that great city is in three parts. At the World War 2 global reset era, was when this present western empire altered “the woman”, “that great city” and she became the 3 city states or countries to rule the world. That Western Empire great city is obviously made up of the US, with her global military, England, which is the home of the Rothschild global banking dynasty and Europe or the EU with also its Rome centered vast network of Jesuit deep state operators. This is what controls the woman today, or that great city.

Some saints have trouble with this interpretation because it calls the woman a city or that great city. The size of the great city is not just a city, but is proven metaphorically defined to be much larger than just a city. Since the great city is the woman who sits in a multitude of nations (Rev 17:15), that is not the only evidence to the size of that great city. The Holy City is described as being 12,000 furlongs squared in Rev 20:16. That's equals 1500 miles long, the size of a fairly large country. So, “That Great City” is not just a city, but is, by considering all the verses of it description, our present Western Empire who rules over the kings of the earth, with the US military, banking, tech, big pharma and other controls in place.

So who is the power who could overthrow this Western Empire? It can be none other that Russia and China leading that ten horn nation coalition and God has supernaturally backed this prophetic scenario in amazing ways, that you can educate yourself on at ww3links.blogspot.com. Will you be like those of the past who will not believe God’s prophets and prophecies?

China and Russia have already done many joint military exercises together. They are strategizing against the west. The real world of geo politics is following the hidden hand of God’s prophetic word in Revelation and World War III will be the East vs the West, “the eighth” vs “that Great City”, the woman, verses the 10 horns who will eat her flesh and burn her with fire, in WW3.

Brethren, it’s time to store food and work towards getting off grid. We’ll only need to endure a few years of this, till the 6000thyear.com, when Christ comes. \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/
