IS JERUSALEM THE WHORE OF REVELATION 17?

LOOK AT THESE SCRIPTURES.

THIS WOMAN IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON AND SHE IS CLOTHED IN PURPLE OR SCARLET, SHE IS DECKED WITH GOLD, AND HER LOVERS HATE HER.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,” Rev. 17:4
“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.” Rev. 17:16

THIS WOMAN IS JERUSALEM, SHE IS CLOTHED IN CRIMSON/PURPLE, SHE IS DECKED WITH GOLD, AND HER LOVERS HATE HER.

“And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.” Jer. 4:30

MOST OF YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS PASSAGE IN JEREMIAH. JOHN WAS EVIDENTLY QUOTING FROM THIS SCRIPTURE AND POINTING TO THE IDENTITY OF THE WHORE.

I noticed it as I was reading my Bible through as I have done over 100 times.

WAIT, THERE IS MORE, A LOT MORE.

JERUSALEM IS CALLED “THE GREAT CITY” IN REVELATION

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the GREAT CITY, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Rev. 11:8

BABYLON IS CALLED “THE GREAT CITY” EIGHT TIMES IN REVELATION.

“And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that GREAT CITY…” Rev. 14:8

“And the GREAT CITY was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God” Rev. 16:19

“And the woman which thou sawest is that GREAT CITY, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Rev. 17:18

” Alas, alas, that GREAT CITY Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.” Rev. 18:10

“Alas, alas, that GREAT CITY, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold,” Rev. 18:16

“And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this GREAT CITY!” Rev. 18:18

“And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that GREAT CITY” Rev. 18:19

“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” Rev. 18:21

I HOPE TO POST MORE ON THIS TOMORROW BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT MORE TO BE REVEALED.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

I pointed out in part one of this that both Mystery Babylon and Jerusalem are both called the “great city”. Now, I want you to see two things from one of the verses that seem to verify that Babylon is Jerusalem.

“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.” Rev. 16:19

(1) The “great city” and the “the cities of the nations” are two separate things.

What it may be showing is that the great city is not a gentile city. The word “nations” is a word that is translated gentile many times in the Bible. There is good evidence from the structure of the Greek to indicate that what this verse is actually saying is ” the great city fell and also the gentile cities fell”. The CSB and the NASB both have footnotes indicating this.

(2) The city was divided into three parts.

This may be a reference to Ezekiel’s prophesy that Jerusalem would be divided into three parts as a result of judgement.
““Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair. When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword…“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.” Ezek. 5:1,2&5

Jerusalem sits on seven hills. Google it.

” the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” Rev. 17:2

“Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying… thou hadst a whore’s forehead” Jer. 2:2-3:3
Between these verses are the other charges against Jerusalem.

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS” Rev. 17:5
