WHY DO I EXIST

July 7: END TIMES

Revelation 17:1-18 [NIV; amplification in italics]

One of the seven priest-angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the Earth committed spiritual adultery and the inhabitants of the Earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries, enamored by her ennoblement of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life over and above the rightful place of the Creator.”

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns…the symbolic representation of the very person of the Anti-christ himself, as well as the embodiment of all anti-christs throughout all ages and in all places who were his forerunners! She was sitting on the Beast…a symbolic representation of how she has ridden upon empires, kings, powers…the sum total of this world’s political sovereignty and dominion…throughout all ages and in all places, inspiring, leading and controlling them with the lure of her spiritual fornication. The Woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls befitting the gaudiness and pomp of her Earthly splendor. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries…the world’s many debauching systems of false faith and false worship, idol worship and carnal self-exaltation, over and against the revelations and institutes of Yahweh. This title was written on her forehead:

MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

She had her origin after the Flood under that great rebel, Nimrod, from his first and capitol city Bab-el (Babylon), who began that first great work of conscious and deliberate rebellion against God which brought the confusion of tongues, and thereby inaugurated the original of, and became the parent of, all the subsequent harlotries and abominations of mankind down through the ages. She is thus the great embodiment, source, and representative of all idolatry, false worship, and perversion of the Word and institutes of God…the symbolic mother representing the universal body of the faithless throughout all ages and in all places…those who worship as God what is not God, giving their hearts to idols, and who institute systems, doctrines, rites and administrations to take the place of what God has revealed and appointed. [We see these very realities taking place today in America under the Biden Administration] Whatever changes or additions evolved as the streams of humanity ran on amid the centuries, it was still old Babylon, which ever abides, giving birth to her harlot daughters down through the ages, ever reproducing the likeness of the original mother, and thus known to the judgment angels as “Babylon the Great, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
She is the bride of Satan…the Devil’s antagonist to the Woman clothed with the sun who is the precious bride symbolically representing the visible Church of the Living God on Earth, who gives birth to her royal children belonging to God.

I saw that the Woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus, whom she has persecuted and killed down through the ages because of their testimony and witness against her spiritual harlotry and the filth of her adulteries. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished, and gazed upon her with perplexed horror, wondering whether this woman could be the same one whom I had previously seen clothed with the sun…now, somehow, horribly transformed. 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. The Beast, which you saw, once was living, now is not…having died of a fatal wound…and will come up out of the Abyss to live on the Earth once again, and then go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the Earth whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the Beast, because he once was living, now is not, and yet will come to live again upon the Earth.

This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven regal hills on which the Woman sits…the seven great mountains of imperial world-power that will have reigned throughout the course of history, and representative of the sum total of this world’s political sovereignty and dominion throughout all ages and in all places. They are also the seven great and very powerful kings of these world powers, having a dominant influence over the world during the period of their reign. Five have already fallen…Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt…one is at the present time…Rome…the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. They were each and all the lovers, supporters, and defenders of organized falsehood in religion, the patrons of idolatry, the foster friends of all manner of spiritual harlotry. The Beast who once was living, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the Beast. They have one purpose, and will give their power and authority to the Beast. They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is King of kings, and Lord of lords…and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages who make up the entire body of organized alienation from God throughout all ages and in all places. The Beast and the ten horns you saw who, at first, carried the Woman down through the ages with affection, will now hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. Thus it is that in their self-ordination as absolute sovereign authority over all the world, they will set up an entirely new and universal religion upon the Earth, making war on all existing religions and systems [this is the Great Reset we see unfolding even now]. They will make the very Earth, and all its inhabitants, worship the Beast, whose fatal wound had been healed, as the one only God. They will set up an image in honor of the Beast who was fatally wounded by the sword and yet lived! And the image of the Beast will be given Satanic power to speak and to cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed. They will also force everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead as a visible badge to show their allegiance to their infernal lord, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish His purpose by agreeing to give the Beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled. The Woman you saw as the symbolic embodiment of all systems of carnal alienation from God down through the ages…the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the Earth…now in her final consummation manifests herself in the ultimate, literal, Earthly city. Just as the ultimate Heavenly City will come down out of Heaven from God, this city embodying all the completed temporal results and harlotries of the world’s sensual wisdom, and the ultimate bloom of all human apostasy, will rise up upon the Earth…and is now become the great, rich and powerful, mighty City whose world-wide temporal, materialistic, influence gives it a universal power that effectively supersedes and rules over the kings of the Earth! In her presumptuous self-sufficiency, conceit, and arrogance, she presumes to bear rule over all the kings of the Earth by the power of her wealth, to dictate their policies, to fashion their laws, and to be their protector and redeemer. She holds sway over their governments by the lure of her fornication…her dignification and deification of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life…in the magnetic grip of her prodigious commerce, and her lucrative financial markets, and her greed-laden money-kings; and these know no God but gold, and no law but self-interest and worldly gain, accumulation and unbounded wealth.” [Revelation 17:1-18]

Listen to what the Spirit says to the churches, and to each of their members: Then I heard another voice from Heaven…the Father Himself…say: “Come out of her, My people, children of Abraham, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues!” Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul! Be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance! He will render unto her a recompence. For her sins are piled up to Heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. She presumes to think herself invincible, immortal, and forever sufficient in her own possessions against all adversity…and exalts herself over the very Church of God! Therefore in just one day all her greatness, might, and majesty will come to naught! Her plagues will overtake her with unexampled suffering, mourning and horror: death, mourning and famine will be her portion! She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God Who judges her!” [excerpt from Rev:18]

Following is the on-going warnings of the Holy Spirit.  We are descending at warp-speed ever deeper into the End Times, when God's judgment will suddenly fall like an axe big-time, and people who are not paying attention to the signs of the times will end up blindsided, stunned, and totally unprepared. 

The Holy Spirit has been sounding the alarm over and over and over again...are you, your family members, your friends and neighbors still not listening?  Brethren...Do not be deceived.  The covert but continually and relentlessly unfolding Global Reset is the preparation of the way for the coming rule and reign of the Anti-christ and his one-world government, one-world financial system, and  one-world religion!  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Church and to each of their individual members!
