The Women of Revelation

The Woman Clothed with the Sun and The Whore of Babylon

Women have been in the bible since Eve was first mentioned in the Book of Genesis. In the last book of the bible, two women appeared in it's pages. Note that they are not physical women, but like every thing in the Book of Revelation it is a symbolization.

I actually did a lot of research, and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me as I give you this information. I am not in any way trying to offend someone, but rather that this blog enlightens those that can read it. Again, I pray to the Holy Spirit to guide your hearts and minds as I try to present this topic to you.

In Revelation Chapter 12, we can read about the Woman Clothed with the Sun. She is also described as having a crown of 12 stars on her head and the moon under her feet. She is about to give birth, and the Great Dragon was waiting to devour her offspring. She brought for a son, and he is carried away to his Father's throne, while the woman escapes in the wilderness. There is a great war in Heaven, and the Great dragon was cast down to the Earth. Here he pursues the woman, but she was given wings to escape him. He tries to drown her, but the Earth helped her. He then proceeds to make war with the remnant of her seed. 

In Revelation Chapter 17, we can read about the Whore of Babylon. She is described as a woman that rides a scarlet colored beast, arrayed in purple and scarlet and decked with precious jewels and having a golden cup in her hands full of abominations and filthiness. On her forehead reads "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."  It was also said that she is drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Christ. We also will read that in the succeeding chapter she will be destroyed.   

Here's where the wisdom of the Holy Spirit comes in. Here we have two women: one mother in labor and one harlot. One decides to give birth while the other one is drunk with the blood of believers. Here's my interpretation: (again this is based upon my research and wisdom of the Holy Spirit). When we talk of mother as a symbol, what comes into mind: A COUNTRY. Yes, we are told to love our motherland. Thus, what does the first woman symbolize: a country with 12 major divisions. The twelve stars represent the Twelve Tribes of Israel. The moon and the sun represents God's glory in them. Thus, the woman is none other than the Nation of Israel, in whose seed brings forth the savior Jesus Christ. The devil wants his destruction, thus she flees. The devil's ultimate goal is to destroy God's chosen people. Thus he wars with her seed until now. Take note that it is not a real woman ( I know Catholics say that she is none other than Mary, Jesus earthly mother). Again, it is not to be taken literally. Let him that hath wisdom understand. Now, the Harlot. A harlot is a woman who has sexual dealings with more than one man in exchange for money. She also sits on a hideous beast. She is said to be that great city which reigned on the whole earth. She was decked in very luxurious items, thus we can say that this is a rich city. Also, in her hand was cup full of abominations and filthiness, meaning that she will commit immoral things. She is not hiding it, for her forehead says it all. She is also drunken with the blood of saints. If Israel is the first woman, then the second woman is...ROME. I hate to say it, but Rome seats the Roman Catholic religion. Her harlotry when she meets with other leaders of other religions (the ecumenical movement), her acceptance of other doctrines other than what is told in the bible, her religious practices that make people move away from the worship of our Lord Jesus Christ, her idolatries, perversions not to mention her riches, her influence. She has also persecuted a lot of Christians, real Christians. She replaces them false people whom she ordains. Truly, she will have her judgement. Let wisdom prevail her brothers and sisters.

This is my last entry. Truly, this was a very exhausting topic because I need not to rely on my own understanding but God's. Please read this with an open mind. Thank you and have a very blessed day. Let us march forth towards Jesus Christ!!!

MAY JESUS BLESS YOU
