Revelations A Study. Section 13.Written by Rev.Anthony Smith
Revelations A Study. Section 13. Chapter 17:1 thru 19:3, The judgment of great whore that sitteth upon many waters. The anti-christ, to try to defeat Jesus must take as many kingdoms as he can by force, to gain a great army. He also knows prophecy but still trys to change it. Rev 17:1 And there came one of seven angels which had seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee judgment of great whore that sitteth upon many waters = :peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Rev 17:2 = A false sense of Power. Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in spirit = not in body, into wilderness = of man: and I saw a woman {Dan_7:23;} sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads = seven mountains = seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and other is not yet come = {Dan_12:4, Dan_12:8-10; Hos_14:9; Mat_13:11, Mat_24:15}; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space, on which woman sitteth.and ten horns = ten kings. Rev 17:4 = Earthly Riches. Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. = False religion. This introduces us to one world religion that many Kings are speaking of today to help stop war. Rev 17:6 thru 17:7 are Literial and self explanitory. Rev 17:8 The beast = Satan, that thou sawest was, and is not = Satan is present but without power.; and shall ascend out of bottomless pit, and go into perdition = Hell [Ref:Mar_9:44;] and they that dwell on earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in book of life from foundation of world, when {dont let this next line confuse you. Satan at this point “was” “But without Power”,”But His day hasnt come yet.”,}they behold beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Rev 17:11 thru Rev 17:14. Literial and self explanitory. The Ten Kings are Kings, of this moment, of ten kingdoms of old Roman Empire. Which you have allready been given a list. The anti-christ makes war on ten kingdoms, he takes first three by force and theother seven capitulate.Giveing anti-christ power over all 10. And beast that was, and is not, even he is eighth, and is of seven, and goeth into perdition. Rev 17:16 And ten horns which thou sawest upon beast, these shall hate whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Revelations A Study. Section 12. Each part of Revelations leads into next section. Prophecy must be utilized to get full meaning. In this section we will be useing many references and compairing scripture with scripture. I want to look at Nations that Revelations speaks of; Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive nations which are in four quarters of earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: number of whom is as sand of sea. Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive nations which are in four quarters of earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: number,(454,900,000 (EU-25)) of whom is as sand of sea. Revelations speaks of a great number that will gather together as sands of sea. Today we find European Union trying to ratify a compact with all members and prospective members. This would form a singel Nation larger and stronger than United States. There are currently 25 member states in European Union. Together with their dates of accession, these are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Solvakia, Solvinia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Acceding countries Bulgaria, Romania. Candidate nations Turkey, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, Ukraine, & Republic of Macedonia. Probabel Members; China 1,306,313,812, Russia 143,420,309 Withholding Nation United States 295,734,134 Total 2,200,368,255. This does not include other non-aligned Nations nor will it ever include Israel There are about 4-6 liters of blood in an average human body Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a PLACE called in Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Armageddon; "Mount of Megiddo": from a root gadad, "to cut off," i.e. "slaughter" (Rev_16:16)). The plain of Esdraelon, "the valley of Jehoshaphat", “the valley of Megiddo": Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of mouth of dragon, and out of mouth of beast, and out of mouth of false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto kings of earth and of whole world, to gather them to battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Frogs;The word is Egyptian; The three unclean spirits like frogs (Rev_16:13) symbolize (1) "proud infidelity", opposing Christ and God, "out of dragon's mouth"; (2) "the spirit of world", whether lawless socialistic democracy or despotism, setting man above God, "out of beast's mouth"; (3) "lying spiritualism", superseding harlot and proceeding "out of false prophet's mouth." Lets compare Joel with Revelations. Joe 2:1 Blow ye trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all inhabitants of land tremble: for day of LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; Joe 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as morning spread upon mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever like, neither shall be any more after it, even to years of many generations. Joe 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: land is as garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. Joe 2:4 The appearance of them is as appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Joe 2:5 Like noise of chariots on tops of mountains shall they leap, like noise of a flame of fire that devoureth stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Joe 2:6 Before their face people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. Joe 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Joe 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon sword, they shall not be wounded. Joe 2:9 They shall run to and fro in city; they shall run upon wall, they shall climb up upon houses; they shall enter in at windows like a thief. Joe 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; heavens shall tremble: sun and moon shall be dark, and stars shall withdraw their shining: Joe 2:11 And LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for day of LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
