Why try to make all the prophecies of Babylon fit those types?
For instance being drunk on the blood of the saints, and the golden cup.
What is the blood of the saints?
The blood of the saints could be nothing but the blood of Jesus, which is represented by the wine which is drink from the golden cup.
John wondered with great admiration, it must have been something he thought was great until he was told the real meaning.
Why would a Christian, especially John have to be told to come out of her in rev 18:4 if it had nothing except a secular meaning?
Rev 18
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
“What is the blood of the saints?
The blood of the saints could be nothing but the blood of Jesus, which is represented by the wine which is drink from the golden cup.”
Jesus is the Son of God, not a saint, and certainly not multiple saints. This idea of “blood of the saints” comes from the Old Testament. Go back to the story of Cain & Abel: Abel’s blood cried out to God from the ground, and then God told us:
“6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Gen 9:6
It is a symbol that is used throughout the Bible to refer to victims of murder that God is going to wreak vengeance for. Jesus accused the Pharisees of being accountable for the blood of the prophets, just as Cain was accountable for the blood of Abel, and just as God tells us the harlot is accountable for the blood of all the prophets and saints.
