What precisely is the identity of the great whore in Revelation? On her forehead is the name, Mystery Babylon the Great (Revelation 17:5). Note the word “mystery” in the title. She is Babylon. What does Babylon represent in Bible prophecy? Many scholars will tell you that the whore, Babylon, represents false religion. However, false religion is only one component part.
The command would not be “…come out of her my people…” (Revelation 18:4) if the whore, Babylon, was only false religion. The command would have been, “come out of her, you Pagans.”
The sea captains would not have been throwing dirt on their heads (Revelation 18:17-19) if the whore, Babylon, had been only false religion.
The whore, Babylon the Great, exists as the control system against God. The Babylon control system incorporates religion (faith control), commerce (currency control), media (opinion control), education (mind control), and pharmaceuticals (drug control). When was the last time you received a really good pain-killer without playing a game of “may I?” with your doctor?
There is a reason scholars have a hard time realizing what Babylon is: They have a pre-conceived notion of what power is. The people who have real power are not under the control of any nation. When you control currency of the world, you control the world. When you can loan money to both sides in a war, you care not which side wins. No matter who wins, you win, and on top of every thing else, you collect interest.
This power is already in place and will soon be riding on the back of the ten nations in Europe who will become the power base for the Beast power. The ten nations in Europe will be Roman, not Babylon. Eventually they will get fed up with Babylon riding their back and they will destroy the whore, Babylon.
“…the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore and shall cause her to be desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Revelation 17;16). Remember this scripture and you will not confuse Babylon with the resurrected Roman Empire, the new European Union, the spawning ground for the ten nations that will be the power base for the Beast. The horns represent strength. The ten horns are ten powerful kings (Revelation 17:12), the kingdoms of which are represented by ten toes in Daniel (Daniel 2:41).
We are now entering a time period that is referred to in Bible prophecy as the times of the Gentiles. In order to understand the times of the Gentiles, we need to ask, “What is a Gentile?” Many scholars would say, “It is a non-Jew” and would be only partially correct.
In the Old Testament, the word Gentile in the Hebrew is “goy”. A goy is a non-Hebrew. A Hebrew is a descendent of Eber, who is far up the family tree from Abraham. Therefore, the non-goy people, the Gentiles, are people who are not descended from Abraham. For example, Turks are not Gentiles, Arabs are not Gentiles, English speaking countries, generally, are not Gentile, and, of course, the Jews are not Gentiles. Blacks are, for the most part, Gentiles. Chinese are Gentiles. Germans are Gentiles. Most Italians are Gentiles. Japanese are Gentiles. There is going to be a fundamental reversal of national powers, what there is left of them. In fact, this has already started to happen. China, the world’s greatest creditor nation, is presently in the driver’s seat.
