Chapter 17
Restored In Context

Babylon, the Prostitute (Rome), and the Beast (Christianity)

1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the Earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the Earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the Earth.

6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of Yahuah’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Yahusha. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 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. 8 The beast (Mystery Babylon), which you saw, once was (The Latin Empire/Latinus), now is not (was conquered by Rome/Romulus), and yet will come up out of the Abyss (as Romulus was LATIN and Mystery Religion has risen as The Council of Nicaea) and go to its destruction (after conquering The Earth as Christianity). The inhabitants of the Earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast (Mystery Babylon), because it once was (a Latin Empire), now is not (it was conquered by Rome), and yet will come (conquering as Christianity).

9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman (Rome) sits. 10 They are also seven kings (Spiritually there are 1-Tammuz/Babylon, 2-Horus/Egypt, 3-Ashur/Assyria, 4-Apollo/Greece, 5-Hercules/Greek and Roman, 6-Sol Invictus/Helios Roman, 7-Hesus H. Krishna). Five have fallen (1-Tammuz/Babylon, 2-Horus/Egypt, 3-Ashur/Assyria, 4-Apollo/Greece, 5-Hercules/Greek), one is (6- Helios Roman. Sol Invictus was the official religion in Rome at that time), the other (Hesus Horus Krishna aka Jesus H. Christ) has not yet come (created at the Council of Nicaea some 300 years after John wrote Revelation); but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while (before Rome fell). 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king (when Jesus was created at Nicaea and Christianity replaced the Roman Empire). He is associated with the (same religion as the) seven and is going to his destruction (like the previous demi-gods).”

 

The Reformation: The Civil War between The Beast and the Whore, the power of the Whore is broken over the kings of Europe

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom (they were puppet Kings of the Pope through Papal Disposition), but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast (the 10 kings were the Kings established by the Pope over Europe). 13 They have one purpose (to rebel against Papal control and destroy Rome’s grip over Europe) and will give their power and authority to the beast (will unite in battle as Reformers for Christ not nations).

 

Protestant Christianity will later wage war on the Lamb

14 They (later) will wage war against the Lamb (at the end of the Age of PISCES), but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is the Master of all and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Explanation of the Prophetic Imagery

15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16 The beast (Protestant Christianity) and the ten horns (Kings of Europe) you saw will hate the prostitute (Roman Catholicism). They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked (Great 30 years’ War between Catholicism and the Christian Reformers that broke Rome’s grip over Europe killing 1/3 or the population); they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

 

The Reformation was Yahuah’s Will to break the power of the Whore

17 For Yahuah has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until Yahuah’s words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city (Roman Christianity/Catholicism) that rules over the kings of the Earth (called Papal Disposition).”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_deposing_power
The papal deposing power was the most powerful tool of the political authority claimed by and on behalf of the Roman Pontiff, in medieval and early modern thought, amounting to the assertion of the Pope's power to declare a Christian monarch heretical and powerless to rule.

 

Pope Gregory VII's Dictatus Papae (c. 1075) claimed for the Pope "that it may be permitted to him to depose emperors" (12) and asserted the papal power to "absolve subjects from their fealty to wicked men" (27).

 

Oaths of allegiance held together the feudal political structure of medieval Europe. The principle behind deposition was that the Pope, as the ultimate representative of God from whom all oaths draw their force, could in extreme circumstances absolve a ruler's subjects of their allegiance, thereby rendering the ruler powerless. In a medieval Europe in which all confessed the Pope as head of the visible Church, it gave concrete embodiment to the superiority of the spiritual power over the temporal—the other side, so to speak, of the role of Popes and bishops in anointing and crowning emperors and kings.
