The Second Coming: Only a Few Years Away; Revelation 17 - Prophecy of the Seven Kings
Through the study of Revelation chapter 17, Yahuwah has led us to a most startling truth, confirming that we are nearer to the end of all things than ever imagined. http://www.worldslastchance.com/
Revelation chapter 17 goes back and fills in some of what has already happened during the Tribulation. Chapter 16 actually is when the Tribulation is finished, now chapter 17 covers the specifics of when Babylon the Harlot or the Religious Babylon is Destroyed. Babylon the Harlot
Archaeologists tell us that Babylon is the cradle of civilization. Located on the shores of the Euphrates River, the ruins of this city have revealed some of the most ancient documents of past generations.
This city begun by Nimrod, who was a rebel before the Lord, authored some of the greatest evils ever to fall on humankind. Two of these evils will be destroyed during the Tribulation period. Revelation 17 is the destruction of the religious Babylon that takes place about the center of the seven years after the Antichrist declares himself to be God and no longer news the One World Religion.
In chapter 18 we will read about the destruction of the commercial, political Babylon when takes place at the end of the Tribulation.
In ancient days Satan seemed to make Babylon the capital of this evil operation. From this headquarters was started false religion, humanity’s attempt for self government in defiance of God’s will and city dwellings for commercial and social purposes contrary to God’s command to “be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.” (Gen. 1 v.28)
These great evils, which have damned the souls of millions by substituting counterfeit solutions to natural human problems that would ordinarily lead a person to God, will all be destroyed at the end of the Tribulation period. Chapter 17 describes the coming judgment of God on the religious system that has enslaved the human race in superstitious darkness for centuries.
The woman is a great city: “The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth” (Rev. 17 v.18) Many have taken this to mean that the woman represents the capital city of Antichrist’s kingdom, but his cannot be, for Antichrist himself rules over the kings of the earth.
If, then, the women is not the Antichrist, what other possible explanation can we have for such unanimous world dominance? The only answer is the one system before which all kings, dictators, and nations have been forced to bow down throughout history, that is, the Babylonian religion of idolatry. One cannot go anywhere in the world without being confronted with some semblance of the idolatry.
No system in the world’s history has enslaved more people than this awful religion. It should not take us by surprise that this prostitute woman, the religious system, is referred to as a city. When used symbolically, a woman is always intended throughout the Scripture to signify a spiritual or religious movement. If a good woman, it is “Jehovah’s wife” or “the bride of Christ”. If an evil woman, such as “a prostitute,” it represents the evil religious system of idolatry.
Since the woman who rides the beast gets her authority from the beast, the Holy Spirit uses this description to show how religious Babylon and governmental Babylon are so intertwined they are presented together. However, they are destroyed at different times. The prostitute (religious Babylon) is destroyed by “beast and the kings of the earth,” who “hate the prostitute” and kill her.
This clears the way for Antichrist to fulfill the lifetime dream of Satan to get people to worship him. She is destroyed in the middle of the Tribulation; Babylon the governmental system will be destroyed at the end, when commercial, political Babylon is destroyed (Rev. 18). With “Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Prostitutes” out of the way, “all inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast, all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world”. (Rev. 13 v.8)
The Vision of the Woman – Ten details describe this woman:
-
The great prostitute
-
Who sits on many waters
-
With her the kings of the earth committed adultery.
-
The inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.
-
A woman sitting on a scarlet beast
-
Dressed in purple and scarlet
-
Glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls
-
She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
-
On her forehead: Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abomination of the Earth.
-
10. Drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus
Even before we come to the angel’s interpretation of this vision, it is clear that we are not dealing with a mere human being, for no one woman can commit fornication with the kings of the earth, nor can a woman be “drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.”
King James Version: Revelation Chapter 17
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.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
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.
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.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
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.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
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.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Good video. But, Jesus Christ is not the church’s messiah. We are not the Jews. Besides, all true believers will have been Raptured before the tribulation.
NOPE! The Bible says the opposite. Christians will SUFFER MARTYRDOM AND PROSECUTION. That is a false story put out by Satanic types to fool you into getting tortured by letting your guard down. BEWARE!
You must suffer if you a Christian. It says so in Revelation:
“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the people slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had. They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth? ” So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow slaves and their * brothers, who were going to be killed just as they had been.
They have you brainwashed and scared with so many gods of religion ……it,s a hoax prove me wrong.
People like you have been predicting the end is near for the last 2000 years. Doesn’t your bible say only God knows when the world will end? Posting stuff like this makes you a false prophet, as described in the bible.
This article is completely inaccurate. According to prophecies put forth in Holy Scripture, the Second Coming of Christ is not imminent and is in fact over 1,000 years away.
The tribulation — reign of Antichrist — new temple on Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem — Three Days of Darkness and the 1,000 year “holy age” must first take place before the Second Coming of Christ transpires at the end of time.
Taking certain passages from the Bible to tell the future — and not taking into account all Bible prophecies — is a noxious theological error which Protestant commentators do with monotonous regularity.
“… the 1,000 year “holy age” must first take place before the Second Coming… ”
That’s not true. The 1’000 years is the rule of KRST, AFTER the tribulation. It depends on which version of the story you read. I prefer the original Egyptian c5’000 year old version of the story.
The anti-Christ is the false apostle Pharisee Paul.
1000 year holy age before Christ returns, you freaking liar. Jesus says iniquity will abound before God’s judgment unto victory begins (Matthew 24:12, Matthew 12:20); and the victory is the return of Christ to reign on earth (Rev 19:20, Rev Ch. 20).

/spirit/2013/01/anti-christ-spirit-of-pharisee-paul-2474922.html
The Bible clearly states that, prior to the Second Coming of Christ at the end of time, there will be a 1,000-year (very lengthy) “holy age” of peace on earth, and then goes on to describe many of its sublime aspects.
I don’t know what Bible Pharisees.org reads from, but judging from the deranged commentary PO keeps vomiting, I can only conclude that it reads from a version mangled by heretics, and then — due to illiteracy — mangles the heretical texts even further until they are completely polluted into something even worse than the lies of Lucifer himself.
And, by the way, Judaic-Masonry — not the Catholic Church — is the “Great Harlot of Babylon.” And could it be that Pharisees.org is her pimp?
“Archaeologists tell us that Babylon is the cradle of civilization”
Christianised western archaeologists maybe still claim the cradle of life began in the middle east. These days we know better. To put your claims into a historical context: Modern humans have been around for at least 100’000 years, probably a great deal longer.
The people living in the Indus valley and in China were living in large well designed cities including fresh and waste water plumbing, they were well educated, wrote about flying machines, armies of flying machines, and weapons so destructive they would make our modern nukes look like fireworks. Dating to around 10’000 bce And then there’s the people living in south America whose remains cover the entire western seaboard that date to about 35’000 bce. The list of old kingdom Egyptian kings also dates back to about the same period.
In comparison Judaism began about 1’000 bce, Christianity 1’600 years ago and Islam 1,200 years ago.
Theists prove that religion destroys all critical thinking skills, because after 3’000 years of this complete nonsense they still haven’t worked out that an omniscient creator deity that also judges after the fact, would be more evil than all the demons put together.
You can’t have it both ways, IT is either omniscient and therefore doesn’t have to judge, OR it isn’t omniscient and has to judge after the fact…. which is it?
Science CANT explain everything, Religion CAN explain nothing.
Sums it up.
Science has done far more for humanity, what has religion ever done apart from accumulate by it’s own despicable deeds, the worst historical track record of theft, torture, bloodshed and draconian cruelty, than all other despots and dictators throughout history put together.
Yeah, that is absolutely what i meant, that even though we can’t explain everything with science (we should be able one day), religion on the other side has never been able to explain anything.
Yep, hears to never knowing everything. What a thoroughly dull existence that would be.
Brilliantly stupid in that it is not mutually exclusive to be omniscient and judge and you fail to explain why it is mutually exclusive.
Explain what is the basis of your premise that for an omniscient being to judge a non-omniscient being renders the omniscient one non-omniscient.
This should be quite easy.. The city in referral is the Americas.. Now I don’t believe the second coming is 1,000 years away but nor do I believe we are that close.. There are events that have not occurred yet and will take many years for the desensitization to complete.. People won’t bow to an Antichrist they can see just yet, they need to be pursued first.. Besides, there’s already an antichrist, it’s in your head and hands right now.. And on a finale note, if you believe that science has done more for this world than a Hole Divinity, you are sadly mistaken.. Thanks to your friend “science” for making this planet into one big negative cesspool…
I am the final Pope:
The body’s own hallucinogen, DMT, may partially explain mystical experiences, out-of-body experiences and alien encounters. It has been researched by Dr. Rick Strassman and discussed in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule. http://amzn.com/0892819278 A documentary by the same name on the same subject is available on Hulu. http://www.hulu.com/watch/352717 A recent National Geographic article on ayahuasca ceremonies in South America captured the attention of Americans. The primary psychoactive molecule in ayahuasca is DMT. Search for “National Geographic and ayahuasca” on Google. Additionally, artwork inspired by DMT suggests that the Kingdom Of Heaven is “at hand.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDlC7oG_2W4#t=7m40s
I claim succession to the Papacy as a Chosen One, Petrus Romanus. First, let me demonstrate knowledge of sorcery. As Moses was like God to Pharaoh and Aaron’s staff became a serpent, so too is this cross a serpent. Exodus 7 – Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.” … The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.” The effects of sorcery include “tuning in” and hearing a voice or voices that will alter the direction of your life; the “Sovereignty Of Heaven” is a product of sorcery. Second, I have sinned by way of searing resentment of the 450. Columbia Law has 400 students per class. NYU Law has 450 students per class. The prophet Elijah assembled misguided souls 400 by 450, set up an impossible scenario, pulled down a fire from the heavens, and eliminated the 450. The 400 survived. 1 Kings 18:22-40 When I am done with the 450, you will call me Elijah. As Moses and Elijah, let me clarify Mark 4:11: “The secret to the Kingdom Of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is said in parables.” That secret is DMT.
If you take DMT while awake, you will have a waking dream. DMT is a hormone generated in our brain while we sleep. It is the reason why we dream. Dreams are not real, but an internal construct of a brain on drugs. It is no more a spirit molecule than the Higgs Boson/god particle has anything to do with gods.
The Pix
who cradles himself in arms of Egyptian gods, yo moron the king of Egypt said he had a dream and God gave to Joseph not only what the dream was, but also the interpretation thereof. Maybe you can crawl through your egyptian history records to learn there was a severe famine in Egypt during the time of Potipherah, the Priest of On, Genesis Ch. 41. 
The anti-Christ is the false apostle Pharisee Paul/Saul of Tarsus.
1 John 1:18 with the appearance of the anti-Christ has not come many anti-Christs.
The anti-Christ already came, and those who understand and yet want to follow the gospel of UN-Circumcision of Pharisee Paul which is counter to (anti) the gospel of Circumcision. See Galatians 7.
The great city is the Vatican, the City State of Vatican. Its pope are kings as of 1964 when they were given admission into the United Nations as a permanent member.
The Beast carries the Vatican. The creature is in spirit form among seven pope kings (4 popes since 1964) and is in physical form as the eighth pope king.
It is not worship of anti-Christ and worship of Satan, it is worship of Satan and the Beast (Rev. 13:4).

A woman is NOT always a church. The nation of Israel is also pictured as a woman. The ten tribes were thrown out of the land which is now known as Israel. These 10 tribes were settled in various countries, two of which became the richest and most powerful nations in history.
The most powerful became what is known today as the United States. This country started out as a Christian nation. It was blessed more than any other and prospered until it legalized abortion. When the USA legalized abortion, it started to also become a debtor nation. Now the USA is over 16 trillion in debt and will never recover. The nation that started well, became a beast waging wars all over the globe. Its people sank in sin to the extent that its sins rose up to Yahweh. America became modern Babylon. Modern Babylon is identified by about 100 tags in the OT, and all of them are only associated with the USA today – no other nation/church fits.
The seven heads are the G7 nations today. History teaches that 7 empires through time were enemies of Israel. Of the seven, one will come forth again making its second appearance. The 10 horns represent the 5 members of the UN security council, plus the 5 rotating member states. Babylon is stated to have fallen twice in the Book of Revelation, it is the one that appears twice.
The second Babylon is eventually to be attacked and destroyed from the North and East, modern day Russia and China. Now, I know that some believe that Europe will rise up and become a revived Roman Empire, but that is not what the bible says.
Proof: Rev 17:10 And the kings are seven. The five fell, and the one is,[Roman Empire] and the other has not yet come. And when he does come, he must remain a little [Hitler's Germany].
Rev 17:11 And the beast which was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
At the time John saw this, the beast which was and is not, had to be one of the five. Since Roman is the sixth and not of the five, it cannot be the end-time power.
you all make so much confusion here. everyone has a different opinion. could we all just read our bible. take every bit of it for truth. follow Yahuwah’s laws and the Messiah’s message (which is one in the same). pray for a good holy spirit to guide you. then you will know the right paths and know what is evil. you will know who the anti-christ is because he won’t go by Yahuwah’s teachings. the main stream religions make up man made untruths. the jews have the talmud. islam is parading around this stone box (the kabaa). when the bible tells you only a remnant will be saved, think about that. for all those who aren’t believers, you can go your way and i’ll go mine. no problem. i guess some people don’t think there is such a thing as eternal life. okay……………..
