Discuss Revelation 18 Page 13

god brought judgement on the harlot church that rejected his word spoken by his holy apostles and prophets

Sorcery is Satan's wrathful and ultimate weapon that he uses to draw every person into eternal condemnation together with himself.
This world is filled and contaminated with sorcery. Anything that you can think of in this world has sorcery in it.
This whole world is immensed in sorcery.
It for this reason that God has said, "Love not the world neither the things that are in the world". 1john 2;15,16. Read also 2cor 6;17 to 18.
Understand what sorcery is and flee from it 100% through Christ Jesus and you will be saved.
Sorcery makes it impossible for one to connect with the Infinite Creator.

The destruction will be swift and it is all according to God's divine plan. God is long- suffering and He is merciful however just like
His love is perfect ,His holiness is perfect and He cannot allow sin to abide with Him. His perfect Holiness demands perfect justice / judgment. What so much of the church is blind to is that the lukewarm church, the Laodicean church, mentioned in Revelations chapter 3, is a reference to the church's involvement in its acceptance of the ways of Babylon. Unless the people of the church awaken from their idolatry, their friendship with the man-made gods of this world, unless they rebuke the evils and the departure from God's word, unless they rebuke the corruption in themselves and their churches,... unless they stand for God's truth NO MATTER WHAT THE COST, they will be spewed out by God. Babylon falling takes not only the sin filled world of non believers but will be judgment on those who with lips profaned the Word of God with their apathy, with their acceptance of evil, with their aligning themselves with pagan traditions, pagan worship and all which is an abomination against Almighty God. The alarm needs to be sounded, wake up dear brothers and sisters and pray that more laborers are supplied, for the fields are ripe for harvesting, the day of harvest is drawing near.

What it says in revelations chapter 18v21 about the angel throwing the millstone into the sea does that have anything to do with metiorite that is supposed to crash onto the earth? Also it says the sea could it be the ocean or just the sea.

Joe, Babylon John is refering to is America

I am confused. Babylon is reckoned to have fallen sometime around 600 BC (date is debated) however Rev 18 was written by John sometime much later( xx AD). Mathew Henry's comments make no mention as to the Babylon in Rev 18 being symbolic of any time in the future - beyond John's time.

So, is Rev 18 referring to the historical fall of Babylon or is there some future meaning to be understood that I have not grasped?

I beleive it pertains to the United States in all respects

"...every unclean and hateful bird."

Spotted owl anybody? America, it is
one minute to midnight.

I think this chapter is partly literal and also has parables which can only be revealed from heaven. Father the one who has been living forever with His Word and His Holy Ghost can be seen if he chooses for it to be so, the bible says Christ is his image an in another verse ... angels see the face of my father in heaven ... The bible says it also that ... Blessed are those who are pure in spirit for they shall see God. The Bible also describes the face of God in Revelation and makes a distinction between God and The Son by describing the face of the Son as shinning brighter than midday sun, in Revelation 4. Farewell.

Praise God for his word that does not come back void and accomplishes the thing that he tells it to. Jesus exposes the sins of Spiritual Babylon, gives clear warning of the consequences of being associated with her worship system, and specifically calls God's people who fellowship with to get out of it. Unknown to many Christians today Spiritual Babylon worship which is forbidden for God's people to participate in by God, has stealthily been introduced into worship within the churches by Satan. In Daniel is revealed the anti-Christ religious organization set up by Satan on earth whose goal, purpose, and existence is to misrepresent God's truth and blaspheme God's name. Jesus reveals to us in Revelation that the issue is worship. The command is given in Revelation 14 to worship him who created the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters. The warning is also given that God's wrath will be poured out on all who choose to worship the beast under Spiritual Babylon's worship system. Do you know what system you are worshiping under?

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." ( Revelation 18:4) God's call to his people to come out of the false worship religious system of Spiritual Babylon is loud and clear. The problem is, the majority of God's people don't have a clue concerning the sins of the system set up by Satan through the Roman Catholic worship system which is based on pagan customs and men's traditions. It is the responsibility of God's people to worship him in Spirit and in truth. May God bless you and reveal to you all truth in his written word.

Believers are to be separate in counsel, fellowship, and behavior from the world, but even more important, we are to separate ourselves from the apostate worship of Spiritual Babylon Revelation 18:4. Jesus commands this. Tradition and pagan customs has been set up in some of the churches. Time is short and Jesus is calling his people out of Satan's.

IT IS the hour of God’s judgment! Listen, then, to the divine message: “And another, a second angel, followed, saying: ‘She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the anger of her fornication!’” ( Revelation 14:8) For the first time, but not the last, Revelation focuses attention on Babylon the Great. Later, chapter 17 will describe her as a voluptuous harlot. Who is she? As we shall see, she is a global empire, she is religious, and she is Satan’s counterfeit system that he uses in fighting against the seed of God’s woman. ( Revelation 12:17) Babylon the Great is the entire world empire of false religion. She includes all religions that preserve the religious teachings and practices of ancient Babylon and that manifest her spirit.
It was at Babylon, more than 4,000 years ago, that Jehovah confused the tongues of the would-be builders of the Tower of Babel. The different language groups were scattered to the ends of the earth, taking with them the apostate beliefs and practices that are the basis of most religions to this day. ( Genesis 11:1-9) Babylon the Great is the religious part of Satan’s organization. (Compare John 8:43-47.) Her most prominent segment today is apostate Christendom, which emerged as a powerful, lawless organization in the fourth century after Christ, with creeds and formalisms derived, not from the Bible, but largely from Babylonish religion.—2 Thessalonians 2:3-12.
. John is struck with wonderment at what he next hears and sees: “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 whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, whereas those who inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.’”— Revelation 17:1, 2.
2 “The great harlot”! Why so shocking a designation? Who is she? Some have identified this symbolic harlot with ancient Rome. But Rome was a political power. This harlot commits fornication with the kings of the earth, and this evidently includes the kings of Rome. Besides, after her destruction, “the kings of the earth” are said to mourn her passing. Therefore, she cannot be a political power. ( Revelation 18:9, 10) Additionally, since she is mourned also by the world’s merchants, she could not picture big business. ( Revelation 18:15, 16) We read, however, that ‘by her spiritistic practice all the nations were misled.’ ( Revelation 18:23) This makes it clear that the great harlot must be a worldwide religious entity.
Which religious entity? Is she the Roman Catholic Church, as some have maintained? Or is she all of Christendom? No, she must be even larger than these if she is to mislead all the nations. She is, in fact, the entire world empire of false religion. Her origin in the mysteries of Babylon is shown in that many Babylonish doctrines and practices are common to religions around the earth. For example, belief in the inherent immortality of the human soul, in a hell of torment, and in a trinity of gods is to be found in most Oriental religions as well as in the sects of Christendom. False religion, spawned more than 4,000 years ago in the ancient city of Babylon, has developed into the modern monstrosity that is called, appropriately, Babylon the Great. Why, though, is she described by the repugnant term “the great harlot”?

To all:

Jesus is name of above all names. He has a father or why would he say "confess me before men and I'll confess you before my FATHER!..IF YOU DON'T CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, I WILL NOT CONFESS YOU BEFORE MY FATHER.

CHRIST HAS ALWAYS, IS NOW AND FOREVER WILL BE THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END! PAUL SAID THE FATHER WAS INVISIBLE, JESUS TOLD THE SAMARITAIN WOMEN THAT GOD IS A SPIRIT.

WE WILL SEE JESUS, BUT THE FATHER'S PRESENSE WILL BE INVISIBLE! IF THERE IS A SON, THERE MUST BE A FATHER. OVER 20 TIMES IN FIRST JOHN ALONE, IT MENTIONS THE SON. IF HE WERE THE FATHER SINGULARLY HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CALLED THE SON!

IN OTHER WORDS, JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE TRIUNE GOD WE WILL ALWAYS SEE AS HE IS IN A BODILY FORM.

GOD HAS COMMITTED ALL JUDGMENT UNTO THE SON!

IN CHRIST
THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST
PASTOR STEPHEN W. PYLE.

The way of Salvaion and to escape the destruction of this world system is found in Acts 2:37,38. The message delivered on the day of Pentecost is still the way in 2012. Have you obeyed? If not make haste. Don't let the doctrines of man deceive you; for there is no other name given than that of Jesus Christ. The Name whereby you must be saved not father,son, and HOLY GHOST. Jesus is the family name. He came in His Father's Name which is the excellent Name He received by inheritance. All honor to His Name.

"Rejoice over her. thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her." ( Revelation 18:20)

I don't want to live deliciously (luxuriously;
self-indulging, excessive gratifying of lust).
( Revelation 18:9)

I don't want to be made rich by having ships in the sea of costliness. ( Revelation 18:11-19)

I guess I'm in verse 20 ( Revelation 18:20).

4 come out of her. 8 she sits and says she`s no widow. Them in her religious political one world system think they are married to the true husban and the True Christ but they say they we are married & content because we have our god antichrist. Then when the LORD returns they will be so a shamed and run and hide their faces. This is a warning that the instead of Christ is coming people.

I love the book of Revelation. It is God's truth to those who love Jesus. All I can say is get ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

To all, once again, please have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

AS the Godhead soap opera CONTINUES as to whom the Bible declares as Lord of all: Threesome, twosome, or Jesus only!

Once again here is indication of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost! God the Father is invisible (FAther 1st Timothy 1:17); "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my SON, this day have I (FAther) begoten thee? And again, I (The Father) will be to him a FATHER, and he (The Son, Jesus Christ) shall be to me (Father) a SON? HEBREWS 1:5

THERE ARE ONLY THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN!
FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST!

WHY MENTION THE SON, IF THERE IS NO FATHER?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jesus is Lord! Baptising them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!
Let 'us' make man in our own image! Let 'us' go down and confound their language.

Pastor Pyle thinks that we should get back to Revelation 18 instead of Trinity vs. Jesus only!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Umm, actually...Jesus is God.
See Hebrews chapt. 1: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." God is the Thinker, the Word speaks what God thinks, and His Spirit animates the thought.
Jesus is God who came to earth in the flesh of a man. The reason He came as a man is because the first cowardly man did not intervene for his bride, but blamed her, blamed God for making her, then blamed her again. Jesus stepped in for His Bride, took the blame for us, then took our punishment. He was sinless, born of the Holy Spirit v. male sperm which causes the blood to form in a fertalized ovum. "The life of the flesh is in the blood." He was not created by the male sperm, He is sinless and could not/will not think an errant thought (and thoughts proceed all our actions; our brains [thoughts] tell our right hand what to do, ergo, Jesus sits at the right hand of Power. He is God.

Revelations as a book really takes place in the heavenworlds, with angels, devils, saints, and God its players. Marvelous settings and costumes and thunderous action, riveting, heartstopping battles, and the outcome gratifying, but here in this world this prophesy is still playing out, for God is waiting to see which souls here will prevail, for the struggle exists within each person who is animated wiyhin the vessel of flesh. How much power the devil has usurped, and all are fastenated, all! The balance is tettering this way and that for Jezebell is wickedly good looking and her seductive powers are beyond resisting. What man would not fornicate with her given the chance and those who have are lusting for more! God is waiting to see which souls will love Him instead!

What is the reason why would the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over that mighty city? It is because no man would buy their products any more that made them rich.

To Ann Johnson and everyone connected.

REjoyce,if Jesus said he came to do the will of the Father, then where is the Father?

When the rich man came and askED Christ: "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life. Jesus, replies: "Why do you call me good, The Father is good"...Christ realizes his role as servant and is NOW seated at the right hand of God (The Father) making intercession for us!

God gave HIS only Son, that whosoever believeth on Him has everlasting life. Listen, To Love the Son Jesus Christ is paramount, but we say "OUr Father" which art in Heaven, Hallowed be THY NAME (FATHER), THY (FATHER) kINGDOM COME, THY (FATHER) WILL BE DONE.

CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. YES HE IS GOD, THE SON, THERE ARE THREE (NOT ONE) THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN. LOOK IT UP!

Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven as a vineyard where the Husbandman, (Father) sent different servants and they were killed. He then sends the Son WITH WHOM THE FATHER THOUGHT THEY WOULD REVERENCE, THEY KILLED HIM.

They saID this is the heir, let's kill him. What will the Father do to those wicked men who destroyed his servants and HIS SON?

COME ON NOW, I'LL ADMIT THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS GOING TO REAP WHAT IT HAS SOWED. THERE IS ONE TRUE CHURCH AND THEY HAVE MESSED THE WHOLE THING UP, BUT BEFORE THERE WAS A MESSED UP APOSTITIZED CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST! aMEN AND AMEN!

yES INDEED, LET US LOVE JESUS CHRIST, HE IS OUR PROPITIATION FOR SINS. THE BRIDE WILL BE UNITED WITH CHRIST AND WE WILL BE IN HIS PRESENCE FOREVER.

GOD THE FATHER IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!

DANIEL SEES HIM AS 'SON OF MAN' BEFORE THE ANCIENT OF DAYS IN CHAPTER SEVEN. JOHN THE REVELATOR SEES HIM IN A SIMILAR FASHION IN REVELATION CHAPTER ONE. HE IS THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD B-O-D-I-L-Y.

PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY AND US THAT GOD THE FATHER IS INVISIBLE AND JESUS TELLS THE SAMARITAN WOMAN THAT GOD (FATHER) IS A SPIRIT AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!

THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST ARE ALL INVISIBLE AT THIS TIME TO US IN THIS VEIL CALLED EARTH. HOWEVER WE FEEL THEIR PRESENCE AND WILL SOON SEE CHRIST, THE EXPRESSED IMAGE OF HIS (FATHER'S) PERSON (FATHER'S IMAGE).

I THINK IT IS AMAZING THAT EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO INTERPRET THE TRUINE GOD HEAD,PEOPLE BECOME VULNERABLE TO UNDERSTANDING THIS EQUATION.

JESUS THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD. IN THIS, MANY PERSONS DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST. IN THEIR INFINITE KNOWLEDGE, WE AS MORTALS CAN'T QUITE GRASP SOME THINGS.

CHRIST MENTIONS THAT HE CAME TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER!! LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS... THERE IS A FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST, THESE THREE ARE ONE IN UNITY, HOWEVER THREE DISTINCT PARTS!!!

MAY GOD GIVE US UNDERSTANDING

Saints, Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2: 8-10 Remember: whosoever hath the Son, hath the Father also. Praise the Name above every Name. Jesus Christ

Dearly Beloved: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (tranliterated: "united") together in the 'same' mind and the 'same' judgment"... 1st Corinthians 1:10....AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Ann JOhnson and everyone interested!

When examining The Epistle of First John, we read about the Son in over 20 places! Is not it reasonable that if there is a SON, THERE MUST BE A F-A-T-H-E-R? hummmmmmm?

LET 'US' CREATE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE! LET 'US' GO DOWN AND CONFOUND THEIR LANGUAGE!

IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER', AND THE 'SON' AND THE HOLY GHOST!

BEFORE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS STILL THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST!

THESE MISGUIDED PEOPLE DON'T NEGATE THE EXISTENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD-HEAD!

THE VISIBLE NATURE OF GOD IS REVEALED THROUGH HIS SON, AND THE FATHER OR (GOD THE FATHER) IS
I-N-V-I-S-I-B-L-E! HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND SO IS HIS 'ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE YES, THAT'S RIGHT F-A-T-H-E-R-, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.

WE SHALL SEE JESUS AS HE REALLY AND TRULY IS. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE IMAGE OF THE 'F-A-T-H-E-R!!!!!

We can get to confused and disrespect the FATHER in whom Jesus referred while here on EArth and was 'servant' to the FATHER!

WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT NOT UNDERSTANDING THE DIETY OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD! ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEVER SEE THE F A T H E R VISIBLY, JESUS WILL BE VISIBLE FOR US TO ADORE AND WORSHIP.

GOD THE FATHER WILL BE PLEASED TO REMAIN 'I N V I S I B L E! GOD IS A SPIRT, AND THEY THAT WORHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, WHETHER WE SEE HIM VISIBLY OR NOT!

YES, JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, HE'S SO GOOD TO ME.

HEAVENLY FATHER WE APPRECIATE YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER WE APPRECIATE YOU, WE LOVE YOU, ADORE YOU, BOW DOWN BEFORE YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE APPRECIATE YOU!

SON OF GOD (JESUS) WE APPRECIATE YOU....HOLY GHOST WE APPRECIATE YOU.....

Put in New York City for Babylon and you will see what happens soon caused by a nuclear bomb!

A Riddle: Proverbs 30:4----Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name,and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? MATTHEW 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Now I ask you, "Has the Son revealed the Father to you?" One Name given whereby we are saved, not three offices. In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are COMPLETE in Him. He is the Head of all principality and power. Isaiah 41:10,11 "Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." WOW! How much plainer can it get? 1 Corinthian 1:24---But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Oh, Praise God for the revelation of Jesus Name!
