We try to find out who's in the bit. As
a matter of fact, I want to shout out our

(03:03):
brothers Zone three as Sister Quincy and misses his hot

All right, before we dive into the word, let's go

(03:26):
ahead and let's give a word of prayer. Oh Heavenly Father,
give us eyes to see and ears to hear. Expose
any Babylonian in us and set our hearts on fire
for the Lamb. We thank you for this time. We
thank you for this opportunity. Open up the scripture to us.

(03:50):
Feed us your bread, feed us, for our souls are
hungry and starving. For you. You are the bread of life,
are the water of living life. And we come to
partake today in the mighty name of Jesus. Guys, people said,

(04:11):
amen and ain'men. Come on, all right, so you know
how we do. Make sure you have your notepads, your highlighters,
and your bibles as we go verse by verse, chapter
by chapter. I believe there's no better way than to
go through the Word of God than go through it inductively,

(04:35):
so we can get the full understanding and we don't
skip over nothing, all right, So verse seventeen, I'm sorry,
Chapter seventeen, verse one, I'm gonna read it out, or
I might read the whole thing and then give you

(04:57):
my comments, or I just might stop in the and
let's see what the spirit does. Said he Amen, And
it says then one of the seven angels who had
the seven bulls came and talked with me, saying, now
I think this is significant right here. This is amazing

(05:21):
that we just saw the seven seals open the judgments.
After the seals are open, then seven trumpets were open.
Then after that we see devastating judgments that hit the earth.
Now we're looking at the seven bull judgments, and this

(05:43):
is the completion of God's wrath upon the earth. But
if I'm not mistaken, and this could be a trivia question,
which other angel that actually had one of the instruments
of judgment stopped and started talking to John. I think

(06:04):
we see them in action. I think we see them
hurl stuff to the earth and blood, water turning into
blood and all this stuff. But this particular angel with
the bull stops and he talks to John. It shows
you that these angels are very highly intelligent. They're able
to talk and communicate, and they're there to serve God

(06:26):
and to do his will. So let's see what this
angel has to say. He's talking to John and says, come,
I will show you the judgment of the great Harlot
who sits on many waters. Okay, now you need to
pay attention to this. There is a great Hearlot, and

(06:53):
this is how God interprets, how God views God's opinion right,
no one else matters, or no one, no other opinion,
No other opinion matters other than God's opinion. So they're

(07:14):
seeing that just it doesn't say a small harlot, It
doesn't say a medium harlot. It says a great harlot.
That says so many waters. Now the Bible itself is
going to interpret these things, so you don't have to
worry about people who say, oh, the Book of Revelation
is hard. There's a lot of symbolism. It's hard to understand. No,

(07:37):
the Bible walks right through it. They give you the
vision and then may interpret it right back to back.
So let's go with what the word says. And it's
verse two, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication. Wow,
and the inhabitants of the earth may drunk with the

(07:58):
wine of her fornic case. So this is a great
Heartlet the kings fornicated with her, and also the inhabitants
followed behind the kings, and they fundicated with her as well,
and they were drunk with her wine of fornication. That

(08:19):
is just a lot of filth going around verse three.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness,
and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast
which was full of names of blasphemy. Now remember in
chapter thirteen we had a description of this beast. This

(08:43):
is the world ruler, still having the seven heads and
ten crowns. So we remember that there were seven kingdoms
that or should I say seven empires throughout history that
has ruled the world. We looked at Egypt, the Roman Empire,

(09:05):
the Assyrians, in all those different kingdoms and the authority
over them. Now, this woman is the false religious system
we see. Our worship towards God is supposed to be intimate,

(09:28):
and it's supposed to be exclusively for God only. Remember
the ten commandments that shall have no other gods before Me.
But once you start worshiping other gods, you are becoming
a harlot, or you are becoming a whore. God looks

(09:53):
at you as a whore. And I think it's amazing.
A lot of people they want to be respect as
far as their beliefs. They want to fight for their
right to believe in what they believe in and beloved.
We're not trying to offend anyone, but the Bible is offensive.

(10:16):
I can only go with what the word says. I
will never change the word to appease or to please people. Amen.
I'm the type of pastor to where half the church
should be gone, because I fear God more than I
fear a man. But this is the religious system, and

(10:40):
this woman is writing on the beast. And see if
you have a religious system in place without truth, all
it is is control. It's a way to control people.
Remember Jesus said that truth will set you free. Well,
you would not need to be set free if you
weren't bound as something. And this woman is writing this beast,

(11:03):
and so this religious system is working hand in hand
with the anti crisystem that will arise in the last days.
And verse fourth says a woman was a rayed in
purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having her hand, having in her hand a

(11:27):
golden cup full of abominations, and the filthiness of her
phonication nasty. And on her forehead the name was written
Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and of
the abominations on the earth. Now remember that she is

(11:55):
sitting The beast actually has a has a name. He
has a name of blasphemy, and we really don't get
a description of the name, right, and it says if
you back them in verse three, and I saw a
woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of

(12:17):
names and blasphemy. Now we don't get the name or
the description like we do her having seven heads and
ten crowns. Now, a lot of people you read some commentators,
they point back to the Roman Empire because there's like

(12:41):
seven heels. It's like a city that sits on seven hills.
And so they tied this in with the religious system
that will dominate as the beast comes into power. Now,
mystery Babylon. Babylon is always represented as confusion. Think about

(13:05):
the Tower of Babylon, a book of Genesis where all
the world had one language, and they built the tower
so they can communicate with demons and devils. They wanted
to reach Heaven. They were trying to reach God. And
that is the religious system of man, this Babylonian system,

(13:28):
if you trace it all the way back through culture,
because remember they were all as one, and even in
that story, God came down and said they are all
as one. And then there's everything that they want to do,
nothing would be withheld from them. There is power in unity.
And so God confused the language, and so all the

(13:51):
nations departed because they couldn't communicate with each other. And
so that's where we get all the different nations and
different Langugei is so the earth, but it represents confusion
because nobody could understand each other. Now, they also took
this Babylonian system. They worshiped different gods and different devils.

(14:16):
The original god that they worshiped was a Samaramis was
a goddess and she had a son. Temus mother and
son worshiped was always all the way back then, and
the son died and they said that he resurrected. And

(14:39):
so there's a lot of paganism in some of the
celebrations that we see today, even the Church. Right, this
is where we get Christmas from. This is where we
get Easter from. This is where we get a lot
of these traditions that we participating. And that's a whole
nother story. But the point I'm trying to get at

(14:59):
it is if you look in different nations and you
go back to the gods, their temples that they worship,
it always points back to like a father. I mean
a mother's son type of worship. And it's similar. The
different gods are similar that they worshiped, and God looks
at it as Harley tree, this is a great whore.

(15:23):
In verse six, I saw a woman drunk with the
blood of the saints and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus. Now this religious system always persecuted the church,
and she's drunk. In other words, this is where she
gained her wealth. This is where she gained her luxuries.

(15:50):
And it says specifically the martyrs of Jesus, those who
believe the testimony of Jesus and keep his word in
his commandments. We've always been under fire. And when I
saw her, I marveled with great amazement verse seven. But
the Angel said to me, why did you marvel? I

(16:15):
will tell you the mystery. See I told you right here.
This is where the book of Revelation will interpret itself.
I'll tell you the mystery of the woman and of
the beasts that carries her, which was the seven heads
and the ten crowns. The beast that you saw was

(16:40):
not and is and the beast in verse eight, the
beast that you saw was and is not and will
ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to pradition.
Now let's park there for a second. Now, A lot
of commentators say that this beast, it was so this

(17:06):
system was in place. Either is a person, either it's
the Antichrist himself. A lot of people said that this
is Caesar Nero from ancient Rome, because the Christians, the
Church back then call them the beast because the atrocities
he committed to the early Church. A lot of believers

(17:29):
were killed and martyred, and they believe that no man
could have came up with the crimes and the way
that he killed these Christians unless that man was demon possessed, right,

(17:49):
demonically possessed by the enemy to persecute Christians. And some
say that this is the reviving Roman Empire. We know
that the Rome pretty much conquered the world, and then
the Rome was never conquered itself. It collapsed from within.

(18:09):
And we know that they're trying to revive the Roman
Empire today. A lot of politicians go out to Rome
and they try to make deals and you know, and
they're trying to do stuff. I mean, I can't tell
you in detail, but we know that this is the

(18:33):
revived Roman Empire. Romans trying to get their power back
that they had back in ancient times. And also we
know that the Romans persecuted the Church, and that the

(18:54):
European Empire will be a juggernaut in the last days.
And so this is like all tied in and tied together.
We know that the Antichrist is going to rule from Egypt,
I mean, not Egypt, Europe. All right, so where are

(19:20):
we at verse eight? The beast that you saw was
and was not and willison out of the bottomless pit
and go to pradition. Now we talked about the bottomless pit. Woo, man,
I don't know what what's all in that bottomless pit? Man,
We've seen some demonic creatures, And now this beast is

(19:41):
coming out, but he's only coming out to go to pradition.
And those who dwell on the earth will marvel whose
names were not written in the Book of Life from
the foundation of the world when they see the beast
that was and that is not and yet is Now

(20:06):
let's stop here for a second. We see the Lamb's
Book of Life. Now, if you know anything about the
Book of Life, if your name is not written in
that book, you will not make it into the Kingdom
of Heaven. And I think it's very interesting that he
said that their names were not written from the foundation

(20:29):
of the world, like their names were never added into
that book. Now. Also, if you go back to the
Seven Churches, I can't think of which church specifically at
the beginning of the Book of Revelation when God commanded

(20:50):
when Jesus commanded John, which you know Jesus is God,
when he commanded John to write to the seven churches.
To the end the seven Churches, one of the churches,
Jesus was correcting and instructing, and he said that I

(21:10):
will not blot out your name from the Book of Life.
So I'm gonna lead you to you leave you to
your own study. But these are some of the things
that just dropped in my spirit about this. So we
have the Book of Life, which is in heaven. Now

(21:33):
we have names that were never written in the Book
of Life. So obviously these are the people that God
knew who would take the mark of the beast, so
he never bothered to write their names down in the book.
God is all knowing, He has all knowledge. It says

(21:54):
right here that their names are never written from the
foundation of the world. But then you have some names
that are written in the Book of Life that ended
up getting blotted out, right, because why would Jesus said,
I will not blot out your name if there is

(22:18):
a possibility that our names could be blotted out. All
I'm saying is make sure your name is written in
the Book of Life. As I said before, I watched
these near death experiences, people who die and come back

(22:39):
and go to Hell. And this one particular woman said
that she was giving a vision, she was taking to
heaven by God, and she just saw how people who
go to church and saw all these things happen, people
who went to hell, and she said that she wanted
to make she wanted to show her her name, that

(23:02):
her name is written in the book. And we need
to thank God every day that our names are written
in the Book of Life. Like she was really touched
by that, and she said, God showed her her name
and her name was written in a different language, but
she wanted to make sure her name was in that book.
And I want to encourage us to do the same,

(23:24):
Like Lord, thank you for writing my name in that
book and that my name will never be blotted out.
Like amen, We just got to stay faithful, but their
names were never written in the Book of life. From
the foundation of the world, when they see the beast

(23:47):
that was and was not, and yet it is now
Verse nine, here is the mind which has wisdom. So
that's something we need to pray for every day. Right,
we need to pray for wisdom. Heads and seven mountains.
Seven heads are seven mountains. Now this is the interpretation,
and this is where people say that this is the

(24:09):
revived Roman Empire, because the Roman Rome sits on seven
mountains on which the woman sits, and so the Rome
has been a dominating religion throughout the centuries. The Rome
has walked very closely with government worldly type systems. There

(24:34):
are also seven kings. Five have fallen, so we're talking
about seven rulers who passed away. One is at the
time that John gave this revelation. One king was alive,
and the other has not yet come. So they're talking
about a future king of future ruler, which we is

(25:01):
the Antichrist, and when he comes, he must continue a
short time, so he only has a short time to
do his dastardly deeds on this earth. Right, evil has
an expiration date Verse eleven. The beast that was and
is not is himself also the eighth. So this is

(25:27):
the eighth ruler or eighth king, and is this and
is of the seven and is going to tradition. So
he's connected to the seven. Five have fallen, one is,

(25:48):
and then one shall be revived. Right, And then it
says that he himself is the eighth, and he's connected
to the seven, and he's gonna go to tradition. Now
we're gonna go back to that in a second. Now,

(26:11):
the ten horns which you saw are the kings who
have received no kingdom as of yet. So they have
the authority of kings, but they receive no kingdom, but
they receive the authority for one hour as kings with
the beast. These are those are of one mind, and

(26:35):
they will give their power an authority to the beast.
Now these kings are united, and they all have one mind.
And what mind is that they oppose the rule of
Jesus Christ. They're there to fight against the Kingdom of heaven.
They don't want the Kingdom of God to be established
on earth, and they don't want Jesus Christ to rule

(26:58):
and reign as king. They are all opposed to Christ.
And they give their power to the beast, which is
their leader, to try to fight against the King of kings.
And it says these will make war with the lamb,
and the Lamb will overcome them, so that is there

(27:18):
is not even a contest. They will make war with Jesus,
and Jesus will overcome them. For he is Lord of
lords and kings, of king and King of kings. And
those who are with him are called Chosen and faithful. Amen,

(27:39):
come on, chosen and faithful. So let's get through this,
and then I'll jump back in the second. Then he
said to me, the waters which you saw, where where
the heart that sits our people's multitudes and nations. So
the waters represent the nations of the world, and tongues

(28:04):
and the ten horns which you saw on the beasts,
these will hate the Heartlets make her desolate and naked,
eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God
has put it into their hearts to fulfill his purpose,
to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom

(28:26):
to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
And the woman whom you saw is that great city
which reigns over the kings of the earth. Wile. There's
a lot. There's a lot in this chapter. There's a

(28:49):
lot to break down, there's a lot to go through,
but we're just gonna I'm just gonna fall back to
let me see, let's go through seventeen and fourteen. Verse

(29:17):
seventeen through fourteen, the Angel interposed the mystery seven heads
equals seven mountains, seven kingdoms, ten horns, ten future kings
that will come. We touched on that the feast was
and is not and will ascend. They look at this
as they revived room Empire, John Seas Room, John Seas Rooms,

(29:44):
seven hells as a type. Now we talked about the
seven hills in Rome and that I'm breaking down the
commentary from Passer Jets Chuck Smith right now the prophecy
to the end times coalition under the antichrisis. So these

(30:06):
are the kings right that will give their power over
to the anti Christ. Now past president, future Babylon mutates,
but the spirit is the same. They want to control
the people in silence the truth. Now this is now

(30:33):
stick with me, because this is gonna. This is good
bron packing this now right now, let's look at verse
fifteen to seventeen, where it says the ten Kings turn
on the Harlot and burn her, which is wow, crazy.

(30:53):
Now evil always devours itself. Now, political power, drop religion
once it's no longer useful. Political power In this hartlet
have been working hand to hand for centuries, but now

(31:15):
they don't need her anymore. She don't power. With darkness,
people will betray you every time. Now, I've been a
Star Wars fan for years growing up. I really loved
the show, the franchise. I was really into it, and

(31:38):
I've played the games. I never really read the books,
but I will watch the movies. I would play the games.
It's the latest game that I haven't played in years,
but it's night to the Obie public. It breaks down
the Sith empire. Right, you can choose to be either
a Sith or a Jedi. One thing that I've noticed,

(32:02):
which was a pattern which the Sith, like the padwine
or that the acolytes would always turn on their masters,
Like the masters would raise them up, would teach them
and train them, and then once they get so powerful,
they would turn and betray their masters and kill them.
And so that's like, yeah, that's the dark side, Like

(32:25):
they always betray on each other, it's like, who can
you trust? You cannot trust the enemy. That's his character
and his nature. He's gonna he's deceiving people, and he's
gonna be traying each and every one that is serving him,
and it's gonna be too late. That's gonna be pretty sad.

(32:53):
All right, y'all, will let's go to their other segments
here on the podcast. I pray and hope that you
are getting something out of this chapter. I know I
might be a little choppying it today because there's a
lot to understand. Don't know if we'll do a part

(33:15):
two and I'll break it down either even further, or
let me know in the live chat. Hit me up
in a live chat, let me know what you think.
There's something you want me to expound on it. I
don't know. I don't think I'm like explaining it as
good as I should. I know the Seven Hills and

(33:36):
the seven Kingdoms, the seven Kings, a harlot, the religious system.
She's gonna get burnt and betrayed. I believe that it's
the Catholic Church. We know that the beast will have
a false prophet, and a false prophet will command all
to worship the beasts, and so they're gonna have no
need for a religious system anymore in this system in

(33:59):
its future. And keep in mind that God put it
in their hearts to destroy this religious system. And when
we as a people worship other gods, God sees it
as Harley Tree. All right. Our next segment is the

(34:22):
accountability partner. The sin focus for today is going to

is less she but she is doomed. She is flashy,
She's flashing her riches around her. Riches are funded by

(38:08):
the blood of the faithful saints. But evil has an
expiration day. This is all temporary. With this world. The
system we're in is passing away. We need to stay
