5 Beauty and the Beast 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality." 3 And he carried me away 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. (Rev. 17:1-3 NAU)

6 Beauty and the Beast 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Rev. 17:4-5 NAU)

7 The Great Harlot The Great Harlot Is the Symbol of False Religions, as the Beast Is the Symbol of the State Powers. The Church-State Relationship Is the Key Driving Force of World History. The First False Religion Was Nimrodism at the Time of the Tower of Babel. Nimrodism: False Trinity = Nimrod + Semiramis + Tammuz. It Developed into All Forms of False Religions.

9 The Beast as State Power The 7 Heads Are 7 World Empires, Each Having Been Used by the Great Harlot, Trying to Thwart God s Plan by Oppressing God s People. Each of the 7 World Empires Had a Great King under Whom Israel-Judah-Jerusalem Was Oppressed. Each of the 7 Powers Were Overran by the Following Power. The 7th Head (Ottoman Empire = Islamic Caliphate) Was Dead in 1924, and Will Be Resurrected as the Antichrist.

12 The Beast as Person 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. (Rev. 17:6-8 NAU)

13 The Beast as Person The Beast that Was : Antiochus IV Epiphanes ( B.C.), Who Was the Little Antichrist when He Desecrated the Temple in B.C. (from Kislev 25 to Kislev 25 => Hanukkah => Christmas). The Beast that Is Not : The Big Antichrist Does Not Appear during the Historical Roman Empire, when Revelation Was Written. The Beast that Is to Come : The Big Antichrist, who Will Appear as the 8th Head (Revived Rome according to Daniel 9, and Revived Ottoman Empire/Islamic Caliphate according to Revelation 17, therefore Both).

14 The Heads Explained 9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 "The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. (Rev. 17:9-11 NAU)

15 The Heads Explained Heads = Mountains = Powers = Kings = Kingdoms. The 5 Heads that Have Fallen at the Time of Christ (John, Revelation): Egypt, Assyria, Neo-Babylonia, Medo-Persia, and Greece. The 1 Head that Is : Rome (Western Rome Fell in A.D. 476 to the Goths; Eastern Rome Fell to the Ottomans in A.D. 1453). The 1 Head that Is to Come : The Ottoman Empire (the 4th Islamic Caliphate, Following the Rashidun [Arabia], the Umayyad [Syria], and the Abbasid [Bagdad]).

16 The Heads Explained the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while : The One that Conquered Rome Is the Ottoman Empire. It Will Die (1924) but Remain a Little While (Revive after 9/11). "The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven : The Coming Real ( Big ) Antichrist Is the 8th Head, Which Is the Leader of a Revived 7th Head (Ottoman Empire).

17 The Horns Explained 12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 "These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful." (Rev. 17:12-14 NAU)

18 The Horns Explained The 10 Horns = 10 Kingdoms/Nations that Will Follow the Antichrist in His Kingdom: Revived Roman Empire: a New European Union? Revived Ottoman Empire: Turkey-led Islamic Caliphate? According to Daniel 7, Antichrist = the Little Horn. He Plucks up 3 of the 10 Horns: The Antichrist: Islamic (Turkish?) and Jewish (Davidic). The 3 Plucked Horns: 3 Islamicized Western European Nations (England, France, Germany?)

19 The Horns Explained The 10-Nation Union Is Led by the Antichrist (from Turkey, Which Joined and Leads the New EU). It Fights against the Lamb: The Tribulation Saints among the Israelites (Palestinians) and Judeans (Jews) and the Nations of the World Will Be Persecuted Harshly for their Faith, but They Will Persevere and Prevail at the End, when Jesus Returns in Glory.

20 The Hard Divorce 15 And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. 16 "And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 "For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled. (Rev. 17:15-17 NAU)

21 The Hard Divorce False Religion Developed into Many Forms. The Most Deceptive Is the Monotheistic Ones: Pharisaic Judaism, Roman Catholic Christianity, and Islam. The Real Head Is the Luciferian Jewish Bankers. The Harlot Tricked and Used the States (Beast) to Serve Her, until the Beast Had Enough, and Turns against Her in a Rage (Secularized Enlightened New-Age Islam Against Fundamentalist Islam Run by Luciferian Jewish Bankers?)

22 The Great City Explained 18 "The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth." (Rev. 17:18 NAU) The Great City Was Jerusalem in the Previous Context (11:8, where the Lord Died; Called Egypt and Sodom; Suffered from the Great Earthquake). Jerusalem (Run by [Babylonian] Cabbalist Luciferian) Is the Head of the Other Great Cities: Vatican, London, and Washington D.C.
