Originally posted by stokerRevelation 17 reveals the destruction of the Roman Catholic church as the Mother of Harlots. "Mother of harlots" I think means that all the historic divisions of Christianity came out of the source of the RCC. She's the mother.

No,
The [b]world needs to be destroyed and a new world, the kingdom of God must come for me to fully enjoy this earth as God intended.
One should distingush between the earth and the world. The Satanic world system will be destroyed and replaced by a new world headed up by Christ. Divine Love and Harmony, Righteousness, Justice, Peace will reign.[/b]
Originally posted by karoly aczelI hope that William Faulkner was right. But everyday I am confronted by people like jaywill who convince me that he must have been wrong and they will finally achieve the fulfillment of their prophecy. Unfortunately I think they confuse a dead and lifeless planet with the "kingdom of peace." Is it a defect of character that makes them eagerly look forward to so much suffering by others or just an expression of the powerlessness of their intellect? Either way they fit the profile of serial killers. Poor brain-damaged humans - we may not be equipped to survive.
good question
i would say yes
What would you say?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere are references to the nation of Israel being a Harlot in Ezekial. Perhaps they are one in the same? After all, Christ said that the blood of the prophets were placed upon the nations head. If I recall, Israel rejected their God and chose to try to be like the other nations. In fact, that was the reason they chose a king to rule over them instead of God. Thus the term "whore" was used to describe them. Could the same thing be said today?
actually dear friends it cannot be the banking and financial system, as the original poster tentatively suggested, Why not? Let us consider the verses in context, shall we?
And one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying: “Come, I will show you the judgment upon the great harlot who sits on many waters, with w bloodshed on its hands, has made political alliances with politicians and powerful leaders?
Originally posted by whodeyit is a very astute and interesting observation whodey! why is the ancient nation described as being a Harlot? because God was her 'husbandly owner', and when she forsook that relationship and went making political alliances, it was as if the nation had, scorned that relationship and put its trust not in God, but in political alliances!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIn what way is Israel a world wide entity? In the sense that it says the beast hated the whore. As we see today, the nations of the world seem to hate Israel more and more. In fact, the world is preoccupied with this little tiny nation in the sand. If you don't believe me just look at the posts in the debate forum. We have Genocide going on in the Sudan on a mass scale and all you hear about is how the Zionists need to go. Also, Revelation seems to indicate, they (the world powers) attack her for one last time much like they did time and time again in the OT.

however ...[text shortened]... f we take into consideration that Babylon the Great and the Great Harlot are one and the same!

Peace will never reign whilst there is religion.
Take away religion from humanity then you will get peace.
