[chuckles]

The RCC is the Whore of Babylon written about in Revelation 18. God warns any of His believers to “come out of her” or face the consequences like an unbeliever. The History of the RCC is well known and out in the open. If you read your Bible it should jump off the pages that they are a man made religion. Better to look to your Jewish roots!

[Cronos]

The harlot in chapter 17 is 18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which [m]reigns over the kings of the earth.” and the harlot sits ON the beast from the sea 3 And he carried me away [a]in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns AND 16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

Hmmm... the beast from the land (the Roman empire) burns up and destroys the whore-city that rode upon it? That's Jerusalem of 69 AD

John in 17:8 says that the 7 hills are the 7 heads of the beast the woman (Jerusalem) sits on) -

This links to Isaiah 1:21

Isaiah 1:21
How the faithful city has become a prostitute,
She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once dwelt in her,
But now murderers.

Ezekiel also echoes this

Ezek 16:15
15 “But you trusted in your beauty and became unfaithful because of your fame, and you poured out your [a]obscene practices on every passer-by to whom it might be tempting.

And especially to Hosea

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.

hosea 4:11-12 repeats this "...For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot"

This harlot-city, Jerusalem of 69 AD rode the first beast that arose out of the sea (gentile powers are depicted as arising out of the sea, while jewish powers are depicted as arising out of the land in the book of revelation) -- this is Rome of the 1st century. Jerusalem of 69 AD rides the Roman empire and is ultimately consumed by it

This whore-able city is also

8 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.

In which city was Our Lord crucified? Jerusalem of the first century, not Rome of the 21st

Then

18:24 "blood of prophets and saints"

The last prophets were in the OT period - and many were murdered by the Jewish ruling powers.

===============

Finally read Rev 17:9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated: 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom has fallen, one is and the other has not yet come -- this is the 7 (sign of completeness) hills are 7 heads - 7 kings. Out of those 7, 5 have fallen (Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius), 1 is (Nero) and 1 has not yet come and when he comes must remain only a little while (Galba)
