Who is the Harlot AND Her Daughters?

12/3/2012 | self

[Ezekiel]

Rev 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

The name on her forehead is her mother's name.

(Compare and contrast Rev 14.1.)

Ok....we are safe until Angela is gone. Charismatic? Nope...

The harlot is the one world religion of the tribulation?

[Lee'sGhost]

How do you resolve the time line, given that the anti-Christ has already been revealed and was re-elected president?

[Just mythoughts]

Just a thought regarding the modern era repeating the ways of “Sodom and Egypt”. Sodom, all know what the deviant behavior is, Egypt during Moses time ‘killed babies’. Isn't ‘planned parenthood’ international?

Many eschatologists believe

WHICH ones? Links?

There is conjecture

WHAT conjecture? Links?

many people believe

WHICH people? Be specific.

These are nothing but your personal animus against Catholics couched as "experts agree with me". Kind of like "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions by Leftist media types.

Isn't Christ called the bridegroom in a spiritual sense? Well the harlot and her daughters represents the deceived masses readying themselves for a wedding out of season. Notice the first Scripture says ...."Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, waters is symbolic of peoples. The church is called the 'bride' of Christ, and IF she goes for the first Jesus on the earth that makes her a harlot. Christ told the disciples in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 the first sign of His return was mass deception. And deception is rampant.

ALL Protestan theorists use Reveleations to continue their attack on the Catholic Church.

Many then go on to remove themselves from any coming tribulations, by inventing “the Rapture”, which necessarily denies the 2nd coming of Christ, by injecting a third.

There have been many “Anti-Christs” through history.

The Bible never refers to “the” singular, Anti-Christ.

[rochester_veteran]

Rev 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

I do believe we've witnessed what could happen in Rev 17:2 with the 2012 Presidential election. 65 million Americans were drunk with the wine (koolaid)!

But of course there have been many "Anti-Christs", but there has yet to be in this flesh age an instead of Christ. And he has been named in the singular, and it was he and he alone that tempted Christ. And Christ said all but the 'very elect' would be deceived. Paul says those of the 'very elect' were chosen before the foundation of this world. (That means before the casting down - overthrow of the first rebel in what Peter calls the world (age) that WAS.)

The devil is going to get tossed out here on earth by Michael, with those sons of God, of Genesis 6, and the ancient ones of Jude. Christ said it would be again as in the days of Noe (Noah), we are not there yet. The tribulation is that all but the very elect will believe this supernatural being is Jesus coming to 'save'!!!! When Christ walked in a flesh body upon this earth as the final perfect blood sacrifice there was NO Catholic Church.

“Many eschatologists believe that the reference to the seven hills means Rome - specifically the Roman Catholic Church seated at The Vatican.”
.
The big hole in this anti-Catholic interpretation is that the hill the Vatican is built on is NOT one of the 7 hills of Rome— Vatican Hill is on the opposite side of the Tiber. It appears that your self-styled “eschatologists” need to do their geography homework—or find another object for their bigotry than the Catholic Church.

The ‘sodom and egypt’ in Revelation refers to a great city that has suffered the transgressions.

REvelation 11:8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

It is an interesting passage on several counts. When God occupied the city it is the “Holy City,” but the verse clearly calls it the great city, yet in the same breath tells us it is where our Lord was crucified. So that means as long as ‘Sodom and Egypt’ occupy the the city...it is no longer the Holy City.

How many continents are there? The deception is said to be world wide not limited to a few hills in Rome. .

No idea where you pulled that first line from.

Would you care to site a Protestant writing on Revelations that doesn’t use it to bash the Catholic Church?

I’ve got 20 on my bookshelf.

ROTFL

You said "all", and you put it in caps for added emphasis. And your proof is 20 unnnamed items on a bookshelf?

Name 'em.

Here is where I drew some meaning from:

http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/3665/Sodom-Egypt.htm

I do not think this is perfect in its interpretation, as it too points to Rome.

I do fine it fascinating that no interpretations dare breach any evidence as to Islam. Yet, considering Islam as the potential Harlot sitting on the Temple Mount of seven hills....etc.
