REVELATION'S HARLOT IN SCARLET IS THE PROPHETIC WOMAN WHO, WEARING CLOTHES WITH PURPLE AND SCARLET COLORS, RIDES A FANTASTICAL BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS. "COME HERE; I WILL SHOW YOU THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT ##### WHO SITS UPON MANY WATERS . . . AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING UPON A SCARLET BEAST THAT HAD SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, FULL OF NAMES OF BLASPHEMY. "AND THE WOMAN WAS CLOTHED IN PURPLE AND SCARLET, AND WAS ADORNED WITH GOLD AND PEARLS AND PRECIOUS STONES; AND SHE HAD A GOLDEN CUP IN HER HAND, FILLED WITH ABOMINATIONS AND THE FILTHINESS OF HER FORNICATION; "AND ACROSS HER FOREHEAD A NAME WAS WRITTEN: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (REVELATION 17:1, 3 - 5, HBFV). THE HARLOT IS CALLED BABYLON THE GREAT AS BABYLON REPRESENTS MAN'S FIRST COLLECTIVE ATTEMPT, AFTER THE FLOOD, TO REBEL AGAINST GOD (GENESIS 11)! IT WAS ALSO AT THAT TIME THAT SATAN THE DEVIL REASSERTED HIS POWER OVER HUMANITY THROUGH DECEPTION, AN AUTHORITY HE STILL HOLDS TO THIS DAY (EPHESIANS 2:1 - 2, 6:12, 2CORINTHIANS 4:3 - 4). THE HARLOT IN SCARLET SYMBOLIZES A WEALTHY BUT REBELLIOUS AND SINFUL SYSTEM THAT HEAVILY INFLUENCES THE EARTH THROUGH THE CONSENT OF ITS LEADERS. THROUGH HER POWER SHE HAS, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, A RELENTLESS PERSECUTOR OF TRUE CHRISTIANS (REVELATION 17:6, 18, 18:3). IT WILL TAKE JESUS' RETURN TO FINALLY REMOVE HER INFLUENCE OVER HUMANS (REVELATION 17:1, 14)! |
