Catholic Churches Had $10 Billion in Cash, Applied, Got $1.5 Billion Aid--Prophetic Wealth, Rev 17:4

Scores of Roman Catholic dioceses had more than $10 billion in cash when they got $1.5 billion US emergency relief programs for small businesses.

Catholics were the paycheck program’s biggest beneficiaries–church officials said they needed government relief to pay staff when donations slowed (Assoc. Press)

If one understands that a woman represents a church in Bible prophecy, a harlot represents a false church and the many clues in Revelation 17 can only fit the Vatican, a word that means prophetic serpent (Google). The following description was written by the disciple John about 500 years before the Holy Roman Empire emerged as Rome fell.

Verse 1: “The great whore sits on many waters, but waters represent peoples, multitudes, nations, verse 15.

Verse 2: “with whom the kings of the earth commit fornication”—a church involved in governments and politics.

Verse 3: Riding the beast (UN is a look-alike [image] of 1^st beast in Rev 13 that early Americans saw as papacy)  With so many Catholic nations, the UN is the pope’s road to world supremacy in spite of clear Bible truth.

Verse 4: “Arrayed in purple and scarlet (color of cardinals) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls”

Verse 5: “Mystery” [Secret Societies] Babylon [Confused systems of medicine, education, government, religion.]
“Mother of Harlots” (Mother of many churches that no longer protest her, also unfaithful to Bible truth.

Verse 6: “Drunken with the blood of saints” Conservative historians have estimated 50-100 million martyrs.

Verse 9: Rome is the city of seven hills. In spite of biblical clarity, a billon ignorant people want to believe that this system of priests that rapes altar boys, nuns and other priests can forgive sins and assure salvation!

This writer has no hate for Catholic people, and God loves everyone, but He probably hates the system that promises salvation to people for the payment of money—it depreciates the price that Christ paid in dying for our sin and it does not result in true repentance and the end of sinning—not many victories—as so many priests could testify!
