" THREE IMPACTFUL EVENTS COMING: ESCALATION OF WARS & ECONOMIC SHAKENING, AND RELIGIOUS APOSTASY: BABYLON THE BEAST SYSTEM/KINGDOM IS RISING
“Then the angel said to me: ‘Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.’”
THE BEAST, BABYLON THE GREAT, AND THE HARLOT: Rev 17: 1-18
"Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,
with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.”
And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;
they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.
And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” And the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,
for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth".
At the Appointed time, there's coming a man of lawlessness, son of perdition, also called the anti-christ the first beast (Rev 13:1-10), then there is coming a second beast, the false prophet, who will be the anti-christ's "wing man". This unholy partnership, with 10 nations kings will usher in a governmental totalitarian / dictatorship over the earth. The “kings” are the political powers of earth which call the nations of earth to unite in a crusade against God. The nations of earth, represented by the ten horns, here purpose to unite with the “beast” (Revelation 17: 3) in forcing the inhabitants of earth to drink the “wine” of Babylon (verse 2), that is, to unite the world under her control and to obliterate all who refuse to cooperate (verse 14 and Revelation 16:12–16). Thus, it will be a universal religio-political unity (Revelation 17:3). And it will include the nations of both East and West (Revelation 17:12). he- the little horn- will rule the world for a brief season; then God will destroy him with his mouth and the brightness of his coming. All nations, all people, and all financial institution /currency will be "control" by this son of the devil. The only way a person living, during the great tribulation, can "buy or sell" food, clothes. homes, merchandise, they must accept the mark of the beast in their hand or forehead, making them a part of the BEAST SYSTEM/KINGDOM OF THE SATAN.
"The True Meaning of Revelation 17", by Rev. Michael Johnson
The Book of Revelation, the final book of the Bible, was written by the apostle John during his exile on the island of Patmos. John provides a vivid description of a mysterious and powerful figure known as the “great prostitute” in this chapter.” This symbolic representation offers insights into the spiritual and political forces that will shape the end times. We will witness the unveiling of a complex and intriguing narrative that echoes themes found throughout the Scriptures as we delve into this chapter. The imagery of the “great prostitute” and the “beast” she rides upon will challenge our understanding of the spiritual warfare that rages in the unseen realm. This passage serves as a sobering reminder of the need for vigilance and discernment as we navigate the turbulent times ahead.
The chapter also draws connections to other prophetic passages, such as the visions of Daniel, further reinforcing the interconnectedness of God’s plan for the ages. By examining this text, a deeper appreciation for the sovereignty of God and the ultimate triumph of His kingdom can be gained, even in the face of seemingly overwhelming adversity.
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls comes to John and offers to show him the judgment of the great prostitute in Revelation 17:1-6. The great prostitute is described as sitting on many waters, which symbolize peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. This imagery suggests that her influence and reach are widespread and impact many. The fact that she is seated on many waters indicates her authority and dominance over these groups.
The text goes on to describe the characteristics of this great prostitute, including her actions and appearances. She is depicted as wearing luxurious clothing and jewelry, signifying her wealth and seductive allure. This portrayal highlights her deceptive nature, using material possessions to entice and deceive others. The golden cup in her hand is full of abominations and impurities, symbolizing her corrupt and idolatrous RELIGIOUS practices.
The great prostitute is further identified as the mother of prostitutes and of the earth’s abominations. This indicates her role in leading others astray and promoting sinful behavior. Her connection to abominations suggests that her influence is not only immoral but also against the will of God. This portrayal serves as a cautionary tale against following false teachings and succumbing to worldly temptations.
The passage also mentions the woman being drunk with the blood of the saints and the witnesses to Jesus. This imagery conveys the idea of her being intoxicated with the persecution and martyrdom of those who faithfully follow Christ. Throughout the Bible, there are instances of God’s people facing persecution for their faith, such as the prophets in the Old Testament and the early Christians in the New Testament. This reference underscores the ongoing spiritual battle between good and evil, with the faithful enduring suffering for their beliefs.
Revelation 17:1-6 paints a vivid picture of the great prostitute as a symbol of seduction, deception, and corruption. The imagery used in this passage serves as a warning against falling into the traps of worldly pleasures and false teachings. It underscores the importance of remaining faithful to God despite facing persecution or temptations. The ultimate message is to stay steadfast in the face of adversity and to resist the allure of sin and deception, staying true to the teachings of Christ and the word of God.
Several important sections in Revelation 17:7-14 provide insight into the vision John received regarding the judgment of the great prostitute and the beast she rides. Let’s break down each part for a deeper understanding:
Here, the angel addresses John’s confusion and assures him that he will explain the mystery of the woman (the great prostitute) and the beast she rides (the Antichrist figure). The seven heads and ten horns symbolize political powers and kingdoms that will unite under the Antichrist’s rule, as described in other parts of Revelation (such as Revelation 13).
These verses point to the beast’s origin and eventual destruction. The beast’s reappearance from the Abyss may signify a resurgence of a powerful evil force that will deceive many. Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be amazed by the beast’s deceptive abilities. This highlights the importance of having one’s name written in the book of life, which symbolizes salvation through faith in Christ
These verses describe the alliance between the ten kings and the beast, symbolizing a unified opposition against Christ and His followers. Despite their temporary authority and coordinated efforts, they will ultimately face defeat at the hands of the Lamb (Jesus Christ). This underscores the ultimate victory of Christ over all powers and the importance of remaining faithful to Him, as mentioned in other parts of the Bible (John 16:33, Romans 8:37). The imagery of the great prostitute and the beast in Revelation 17:7-14 conveys a powerful message about the ultimate triumph of good over evil, and the importance of remaining steadfast in faith despite the deceptive allure of worldly powers. It serves as a reminder of the cosmic battle between light and darkness, where the Lamb of God emerges victorious, and those who are faithful to Him are ultimately saved.
The verse in Revelation 17:15-18 can be broken down into several important sections which shed light on the symbolism and significance of the passage.
Firstly, the imagery of the “waters” in verse 15 is explained to represent “peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.” This signifies a vast, all-encompassing reach of influence and power over the diverse populations of the world. This could be a reference to the global impact of the entity being described in this chapter, which is commonly interpreted as the great harlot or Babylon.
The next section discusses the relationship between the ten horns on the beast and the harlot. The ten horns are said to represent ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom but will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. This could symbolize an alliance or collaboration between political powers and the entity representing spiritual corruption and deception. It may point to a temporary unity for a specific purpose.
Further on in the passage, there is mention of these kings giving their power and authority to the beast. This act of surrendering power to the beast indicates a level of submission and possibly a desire for mutual gain or reinforcement. It illustrates how earthly powers can be swayed by false ideologies or seductive influences, leading them to support and enable corrupt systems.
The chapter concludes with a depiction of the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, which is identified as the great harlot. This city is portrayed as richly adorned, but at the same time, spiritually corrupt and guilty of abominations. The fall of this city is foretold, signifying the eventual judgment and downfall of sinful and deceitful establishments that oppose God’s righteousness and truth. This passage in the broader context of the book of Revelation warns against the allure of worldly power and the consequences of aligning oneself with immoral forces. It emphasizes the ultimate victory of God’s kingdom over all forms of evil and corruption. We, as believers, are called to remain steadfast in our faith and reject the temptations of the world, knowing that God’s justice will prevail in the end.
Throughout the Bible, there are parallel passages that address similar themes of spiritual warfare and the contrast between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. For instance, in Ephesians 6:12, it is mentioned that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This reinforces the idea that the battles we face are ultimately of a spiritual nature and require steadfast faith and reliance on God’s strength.
The final paragraph of the summary of this chapter is as follows:
The woman was drunk on the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. She had power over the kings of the earth, and they committed adultery with her. But her reign would not last. The time had come for God to execute his judgment on this great prostitute who had corrupted the earth with her immorality. The kings of the earth would turn on her, stripping her naked and devouring her flesh. Her downfall was certain, for the Lord God Almighty had decreed it. The next chapter would reveal the true nature of this great city and the fate that awaited her} END.
In Revelation 13 John sees a nightmarish vision of a dragon and two beasts. The first beast comes out of the sea and receives power from the dragon, or Satan. This beast is a true monstrosity: “It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion” (Revelation 13:1–2). Daniel’s vision of the beast is similar in many ways to John’s (Daniel 7:7–8, 19–27). Studying both Daniel and Revelation in tandem is profitable.
In Revelation, the term beast refers to two related entities. Sometimes “the beast” refers to the end-times’ empire. The seven heads and ten horns indicate that the beast will be a coalition of nations that rises to power to subdue the earth under Satan’s control. Later references to “the beast” in Revelation picture an individual—the man who is the political leader and head of the beastly empire/ we call the anti-christ, son of perdition.
The beast will receive a deadly wound and be healed of it (Revelation 13:3). He will exert authority over the whole world and demand worship (verses 7–8). He will wage war against God’s people (Israel), and he will prevail against them for a time (Revelation 13:7; Daniel 7:21). However, the beast’s time is short: according to Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 7:25, he will only be permitted absolute authority for forty-two months (three-and-a-half years).
We believe that the beast in Revelation is the Antichrist, the one who will “oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). He is also called “the man of lawlessness” and “the man doomed to destruction” (2 Thessalonians 2:3). In Daniel’s vision, the Antichrist is the “little horn” that rises from the head of the terrifying beast (Daniel 7:8).
When the Lord returns in judgment, He will defeat the beast and destroy his empire (Revelation 19:19–20; cf. Daniel 7:11). The beast will be cast alive into the lake of fire. The identity of the individual who will become the beast of Revelation is not yet known. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:7, this man will be revealed only when God removes the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit/church/ born again believers from the earth.
It is interesting to compare the differing biblical visions of the kingdoms of the world. In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar dreams of the kingdoms of the world as “a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance” (Daniel 2:31). The prophet Daniel later sees a vision of the same kingdoms, except he sees them as hideous beasts (Daniel 7). In John’s vision of the final worldly kingdom, the empire is portrayed as a grotesque and misshapen beast. These passages present two very different perspectives on the kingdoms mankind builds. Man sees his creations as imposing monuments and works of art fashioned of valuable metals. However, God’s view of the same kingdoms is that they are unnatural monsters. And the beast of Revelation will be the worst of them all. (gotquestion.org)
THESE ARE BIRTH PANGS OF PROPHECY-THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS WHAT PAUL IS ATTEMPTING TO WARN US, IN A MOMENT YOU THINK NOT, THE SON OF MAN COMES (rapture), THEN THE TRIBULATION BEGINS, THE ANTI CHIRST IS REVEALED... This is not in order, but these things must happen in a moment, at the appointed time, as Jesus said in Matthew 24, THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS. Everyone wants peace and prosperity, nations desire the American dream, economic success, gold, riches, power, and political influence in the earth; BUT WHERE WE ARE HEADED TO IS WAR, ECONOMIC JUDGEMENT, GREATER TRIBULATIONS, CHURCH PERSECUTION, AND PAINS ARE ON THE WAY! AMERICA SHALL HAVE HER WINGS PLUCK BY GOD IN JUDGEMENT, AS HE DID TO BABYLON. AMERICA IS SPIRITUAL BABYLON! REPENT, GOD'S JUDGEMENT IS ON THE WAY!
WHAT ARE WE SEEING IN THE EARTH?
(1 John 4:2-4), for everything evil, rebellion, apostasy, idols, sex immortality.
TODAY, ISRAEL IS AT WAR with all her surrounding neighbors; AMERICA IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BABYLON & RUTHLESS KING: Family, it's not going to become any better, but eventually there must be some type of great war leading to a " covenant with many" type peace deal to come forth. THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS is believed to be a possibility? If this deal is done for seven years, then everything many have been waiting will begin; You won't need anything for your journey-the rapture will happen at the appointed time -then we will be forever with our Lord and savior Jesus for all eternity. Praise the Lord!
What we are seeing in the earth is the spirit of the anti-christ, spirit of hypocrisy, spirit of deception. In Rev 16: 13-14 it says, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (satan), and out of the mouth of the beast (anti-christ), and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils working miracles/deceptions/lies, that goes forth unto the kings of the earth". The devil is the father of all lies and deception, he never tells the truth. His sole purpose to deceive, kill, and destroy all who worship and believe in God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Deception is in the earth today, the world is calling good evil and evil good; The deception of sexual perversion, LGBTQ movement influence is tearing down God's mandate for family and marriage.
Many will fall to the "strong delusion" that is coming, God will preserve His saints, but in the coming tribulation, so many will fall away due to the great lies of the devil.
THERE'S COMING A 3RD TEMPLE: THE TEMPLE MOUNT WILL BE GROUND ZERO!
"And he (anti-christ) shall make a strong covenant with many for one week (7yrs), and for half of the week he shall put an end of sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abomination shall come one who makes desolate, until decreed end is poured out on desolate (anti-Christ)"Dan 9:27. Bible teaches a week is considered 7 years, this one will is the final piece to the puzzle in the 70 week prophecy in Daniel. This last week of great pain and suffering on earth will be focused on the nation of Israel. It will impact the world, but God will focus His wrath on Israel for their abominations, Idol worship, and their failure to believe and accept the true messiah Jesus Christ. God will save a remnant of His people, Israel the nation will be saved, for Jesus must reign and rule on earth and in Jerusalem for a thousand years. Yes, we have so much to come in prophecy. My friends, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior; You do not want to be left behind in this season.
MANY IN THE CHURCH WILL FALL AWAY TO DECEPTION, SIN, APOSTASY, FLESH FEEDING SERVICES AND MOTIVES. The great falling away described in 2 Timothy 3:1-17/ 2 Timothy 4:3-4, says, " in the coming perilous times men will do every sin under the sun, giving in to seducing spirts, turn from truth to fables and doctrines of devils"
The birth of the" Red Heifers" is one of the most significant and prerequisite of building the coming 3rd temple in Jerusalem. The bible clearly teaches that a new temple, the 3rd temple, will be built at some point in the coming tribulation period. The enemy/satan will hate those who love God and do everything in his power to destroy them.
The Eternal Father God, and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is called King of kings and Lord of lords. The bible says, at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the father. What we are experiencing are called the "birth pangs" as a woman beginning to give birth to a child. God is sounding the alarm, blowing the trumpet, giving us signs to wake us up; He is coming again. Repent and confess that Jesus is the Son of God and be saved from the wrath to come. Please read: John 3, Roman 10:9, Romans 5
ALWAYS REMEMBER...
Watch, Pray, and Stay Grounded
It is tempting, in times like these, to look at the headlines and say, “This is it.” But God warns us to watch carefully, not carelessly. Prophecy is meant to prepare us, not panic us.
We must remember: God’s plan is perfect, His timing sovereign, and His wisdom far above ours. No leader, no treaty, and no board of peace will move one inch beyond what He allows. Yet Jesus also said, “When these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28).
So we watch — not in fear, but in faith. We pray for Israel. We discern world events with sober minds and open Bibles. And above all, we stay ready — because the same Lord who warned of false peace will one day bring everlasting peace when He reigns from Jerusalem Himself. Until then, the headlines may keep coming, but prophecy will never change: the world is racing toward a covenant that only Christ Himself can truly fulfill.
My friends, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you shall be saved.... We are living in the last days. Be ready. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, unless a man is born again (saved), he cannot see the kingdom of God". (John 3:16/ Romans 10;9-10/ 1 Cor 15:1-4)

Adam & Eve's disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit caused sin to be inherited into all mankind. So, after sin was birthed by their disobedience, sin was passed down to all men, as well as death. (Romans 5:12) So by this disobedience, it birthed what God calls sin, which led us all to death, and ultimately leading many to judgment and condemnation of an eternal hell. In the court room of God, we are guilty and destined for a devil's hell. It's by the blood of His only son Jesus Christ atonement that, covers repentant sinners, that will satisfy God's righteous judgment for sin. Any man or woman who stands before God as a sinner, must be damn to a devil's Hell, separated from God for all eternality. This is why Jesus Christ salvation is so important to this lost and dying world. He died, but was resurrected three days later in victory. His victory over satan, sin, death, and the grave, provided us with the only opportunity to be saved from the wrath and penalty of sin. We all can have eternal life with God, we can all be saved by blood of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is repent, and believe the good news; Jesus, the Son of God, is able save us abundantly! Romans 5:19-21, John 3:16, Romans 6:23. Call on Jesus now, and thou shall be saved, "For with the heart man believes, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
Abba father, The eternal God, loves us so much, He sent his only Son-Jesus Christ to save everyone. Jesus said " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the father but by me". See the only way to be saved, is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus, sacrificed His life on the cross of a tree, His shed blood was placed on the mercy seat in heaven, so we can come before God and say we are sinners, we repented, and believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Jesus shed blood cries "mercy" upon us and for us. The blood of Christ covers the multitude of our sins,. There is no sin God can not forgive. Repent, turn from your sins, and believe in Jesus Christ, and you shall be save. Hebrews 9:12, Matt 27:27-44, Mark 15:16-32, Luke 23
Matt 24:32, " Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and put forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (near). Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till these things be fulfilled". First we must understand Israel is identified as the "fig tree" in Joel 2:22, Luke 13:6-9. In 70 AD, Israel's temple and nation was destroy by Titus from Roman, and took the Jewish people into captivity.. From 70 AD till 1948, there was not "an nation" or "state" called Israel. Israel's people wonder throughout the world for over 2000 years without a nation. In 1948, according God's promised in Isaiah 66:8 ,Israel would be reborn, and Israel fulfilled his prophesy "a nation will be born in one day" in May 14,1948. The prophet Isaiah said, "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children". In 1948, God kept His promise, Israel was re- born in one day. Since 1948 till today, it's been 73 years, Israel has continued to blossom, grow, and be restored in her own country. God has blessed them and placed His name in Jerusalem forever, and they are called " the apple of His eye". All prophesy, from Dan 9:24-27, Psalms 83, Revelation, Joel, the prophets, and one-third of the entire bible is dealing with prophesy, the return of Jesus, His kingdom, and God's plan of salvation /restoration for mankind. But the truth of it all is that it all begun, centers, and ends in Israel-Jerusalem. Israel is God's time piece for all prophesy, end times truths, Jesus is coming again, Are you saved? Are you ready? Are you born again?.
