  1. T L S The 7th Bowl and the Great Whore Bowls on the Chapter 17 Kingdom of the Beast June 12, 2010

  2. Sun Worship • The earliest form of Paganism, originating on the plain of Shinar • Nimrod Gen 10:8-10 • Hebrew, marad, “to rebel”; future tense, “we will rebel.”

  3. Genesis 10:8-10 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before efei: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before efei. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. “Before” should be “in defiance of” the Lord

  4. Nimrod Josephus: “Nimrod persuaded mankind not to ascribe their happiness to God, but to think that his own excellency was the source of it. And he soon changed things into a tyranny, thinking that there was no other way to wean men from the fear of God, than by making them rely upon his own power.”Antiquities of Jews, I.c.4.2

  5. Nimrod “From the foundation of the world none was ever found like Nimrod, powerful in hunting, and in rebellions against the Lord.” Targum of Jonathan

  6. Nimrod “He was powerful in hunting and in wickedness before the Lord for he was a hunter of the sons of men, and he said to them, ‘Depart from the judgment of the Lord, and adhere to the judgment of Nimrod!’ There is it said, ‘As Nimrod is the strong one, strong in hunting, and in wickedness before the Lord.’” Jerusalem Targum

  7. Nimrod “Cush begat Nimrod, who began to prevail in wickedness, for he shed innocent blood, and rebelled against Jehovah.” The Chaldee paraphrase of 1 Chr 1:10

  8. Global Dictator • Nimrod Gen 10:8-10 • Hebrew, marad, “to rebel”; future tense, “we will rebel” • The final global dictator will be an Assyrian: (“Nimrod II”?) Micah 5:5,6; Isaiah 10

  9. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Revelation 16:12

  10. Euphrates • The cradle (and grave) of man’s civilization Zech 10:11; Isa 11:15,16 • Eastern boundary of Israel Gen 15:18 • and the Roman Empire

  11. Spiritual Babylon • All forms of occultic practices have had their origins in the original city of Babylon Isa 47 • Tammuz, the son of Nimrod and his queen, Semiramis, was identified with the Babylonian Sun God, and worshipped following the winter solstice: ~ Dec 22-23 • As Babylon was conquered by subsequent empires, this entire religious system was transplanted, first to Pergamos, Rev 2:12-17 and then to Rome

  12. Spiritual Babylon • As Christianity was established as the official state religion of Rome, many of the religious traditions and practices of the earlier pagan worship were adapted and incorporated, including: • Many of our traditions surrounding Christmas • The Babylonian worship of Ishtar, the Golden Egg of Astarte, and the fertility rites of spring give us Easter • The calendar year-end on October 31, and its associated occultic rituals, gave us our Halloween • This was related to worship of Baal (Mars) and may have been stimulated by the perturbations of the orbit of the earth associated with the planet Mars

  13. The Two Women

  14. Mystery BabylonRevelation 17 & 18 • The Great Whore17 • Rides the Beast with 7 heads & 10 horns • Mother of Harlots and Abominations • Drunk with the blood of the saints • Babylon the Great 18 • Kings • Merchants • Those that trade by sea

  16. 7th Bowl Revelation 17 and the Great Whore

  17. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:1-3

  18. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Revelation 17:4

  19. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:4,5

  20. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (astonishment / awe). And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:6,7

  21. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Revelation 17:8

  22. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:9-11

  23. ? Daniel’s 4 + 1 Satan’s Seven Super-Kingdoms • Egypt • Assyria • Babylon • Persia • Greece • Rome • Rome II 10 Horns And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crownsupon his heads. Revelation 12:3 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Revelation 17:10 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition Revelation 17:11 The 11th Horn Daniel 7:8, 20-26; 8:9-14 Daniel 2:31-35, 40-45; 7:7-8, 19-25 Revelation 13:1-2; 17:3, 7, 12-18 ?

  24. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Revelation 17:12,13

  25. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 17:14

  26. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Revelation 17:15,16

  27. For Elohimhath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Elohimshall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:17,18

  28. Revelation 17 • Notice that the whore is not the beast, but rides the beast • She initially exploits the beast, but is eventually destroyed by him Rev 17:16,17 • The reference to the “golden cup” is another link with Jeremiah, et al • Mystery Babylon as a false religious system has been identified with the city of Rome from the early centuries until this present hour

  29. Ten Clues • A prostitute: promiscuous, unfaithful • Has universal influence; all over the world • She is seated upon the beast (steers, dominates) • Purple, Scarlet, Gold, and Jewels • Golden cup: precious, yet a counterfeit, filled with abominable things

  30. Ten Clues • Mystery, Babylon the Great; linked with Babylon of Nimrod Cf. Rev 11:8 • Mother of Prostitutes: has spiritual offspring; Not alone • Persecutor of Christians, revels in their blood Cf. Dave Hunt • Seven Hills. Rome built on seven hills: • Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, & Viminal • The Great City that rules over the kings of the earth. • In John’s day, could only be Rome.
