Now we are coming to a totally new symbol, which also belongs to the constellation of the antichrist system which consists of earthly, political and spiritually religious power. There is a reason why God used such pictures. It could not have been made any plainer, and the actual meaning appears more clearly as it is done through these symbols.

In Rev. 17, the last world empire is shown in its final phase. The main role is played by the whore, which is riding this beast. This means, she has the authority over the last world power and uses it for her own aims. John heard the voice saying, “Come here; I will show unto thee the judgement of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (verses 1–2). Please remember, this is God’s judging from His viewpoint. To mankind, the matter may appear totally different. The mighty ones on earth try their utmost to have favour with this whore. The inhabitants of the earth have lost the clear judgement about the whole matter. John writes, “So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns” (verse 3).

In order to understand the significance of this picture totally, we must turn quickly to the terminology “woman” and find out what this means from the prophetic aspect of the Scriptures. In the Old Testament, God described repeatedly Israel as His wife, His church, which was to receive the seed of His Word. Later, He reprimanded her because of her unfaithfulness and spoke of her spiritual fornication in connection with idolatry. She turned away from His Word and thereby left Him. By receiving strange seed she performed spiritual fornication. “Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband. Let her, therefore, put away her harlotry out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts … And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of harlotry. For their mother hath played the harlot. She that conceived them hath done shamefully” (Hos. 2: 2, 4–5).

To the prophet Jeremiah the Lord said, “Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot” (chapter 3: 6). The falling away from God and His Word leads from the right service of God into the service of idolatry. If that happens, bastard children are born who are called “the children of the whore”. Of those people is being said, “They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord … They have dealt treacherously against the Lord; for they have begotten strange children” (Hos. 5: 4, 7).

The prophet Hosea did not only see the negative side, but he also saw the positive side. He saw the redeemed New Testament church, as the announcement was given, “And I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the Lord” (chapter 2: 19–20). Because God became man, He established a condition of love towards His church. He as Lord became the Redeemer, and because of His death on the Cross, He brought reconciliation and forgiveness to all who would accept it. In love and mercy, He gave back the righteousness of God to those who believe. He has called out a collective body which is called the church or His beloved, and she is placed into the position of a bride. All the redeemed make up the bride church, and He, the Redeemer, is the Bridegroom.

When John the Baptist was sent from God, he spoke about the bride and the Bridegroom, “He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy, therefore, is fulfilled” (John 3: 29). The law and the prophets were unto John; from that time the Kingdom of God was being preached (Luke 16: 16). John was the first one who used the terminology of bride and Bridegroom in connection with the New Testament church. He was the one who prepared the way, who bridged the Old to the New Testament. In this position, the bride, the true church, the called-out ones, the “ecclesia” is to be during the whole time of the New Testament covenant. In Mt. 25, Jesus speaks of Himself as being the Bridegroom and the wise, the pure, the spirit-filled virgins, make up the bride which will go to be with the Bridegroom at the wedding supper at the time of the return of Christ. The multitude who will be in glory is shown in Rev. 19: 7. They are shouting, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”

Just as Mary who was used by God to receive the true seed as a virgin, believed the promised Word for that day when Christ was born, so there has to be a Bride in these last days to receive the Word promised for this day. But there is also a church which has fallen away from the true Bible doctrines and has embraced strange and wrong seed. In Rev. 17, this great fallen institution is precisely described. She is called “the great whore”. To understand the subject better, we must go to Rev. 12 and see the other side of the coin, where the Scripture also speaks about a woman, but this time about the true church. There is such a vast difference between the description of Rev. 12 and 17, and because of these prophetic pictures we shall come to know the significance much better.

The woman in Rev. 12 is clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet. The sun, of course, speaks about Jesus Christ, our Righteousness; it speaks of the grace in which we stand and also of the new covenant which is in force for us. The moon on which this woman stands represents the Old Testament with all the promises contained therein. The Old Testament is the foundation for the New. Just like the moon receives its light from the sun in a natural way, so are the Old Testament promises and prophecies illuminated through the New Testament in which they are all fulfilled in a literal way.

The New Testament church is built and stands on the foundation of the Old. Jesus and the apostles exclusively referred to the Old Testament; the New was not written at that time. Everything pertaining to the plan of salvation can be traced back right into the Old Testament. The Old and the New Testament make up one Bible. One is not complete without the other. In the Old Testament, God predicted, announced and promised salvation; in the New, He has given us what He promised.

The crown with twelve stars, which this woman wore, speaks of the fact that the true church is being crowned with the doctrine of the twelve apostles. In this picture of Rev. 12, the woman was with a child and she was in labour pains. This means that out of the New Testament church, which receives the divine seed of the promised Word right now at the end, will come forth the victorious sons and daughters, and they will be the completed bride. Many are called, but few are chosen. The chosen ones come out from amongst those who are called in every church age.

“And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as it was born” (Rev. 12: 4). Strangely enough the dragon and the beast on which the whore rides according to Rev. 17 have both seven heads and ten horns, which means that Satan’s kingdom on earth is the kingdom of the Antichrist. It’s totally identical. Satan was able to establish his kingdom here on earth, and his man is ruling in it and does what he inspires him to do.

Although the chosen ones will not go through the terrible apocalyptic judgements, they will have to go through a very short time of testing when the pressure will come upon them. This is expressed in the fact that the dragon stood before the woman to devour her child that she would give birth to. Through this power which is on earth the church is going to suffer. As soon as the political and the religious forces are joined together, the religious power will exercise its influence on the political power and will put pressure on it. All who then will not bow to the political or the existing religious system will have to suffer.

Now we shall turn back to the great whore which is riding the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns. That woman is the fallen-away church; it is the religious world power which is very clearly expressed in this picture. She will make use of the ignorance of the religious and the political leaders and will become itself the main ruling power, even if it should be behind the scene. The Scriptures describe her as being dressed in purple and scarlet, decked with gold, precious stones and pearls (verse 4). This doesn’t need any further explanation. There is only one institution on earth, upon which this picture fits one hundred percent. She was “having a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”. In spite of her beauty the cup in her hand was full of abominations.

Surprisingly it is true, that also the woman of Rev. 17 is mother. This we can read in verse 5, “And upon her forehead was a name written, mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.” In her last phase she is not only called “Babel” but “Babylon the Great”. She has many daughters; those who came forth from her. As the mother has fallen away from God and became untrue to him, so the daughters, which are all the other denominations, turned away from the original Word of God to their own interpretations and are caught up in their own doctrines and self-formulated creeds. They have taken unscriptural traditions from their mother and were adding things to the Scriptures. In the eyes of God, they were also committing spiritual fornication, and therefore, they are called “harlots” by the Lord God Himself.

What John had to record in verse 6 is shocking, “And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder.” The church history does give different figures on the martyrs. The highest estimation known to the writer is 68 millions. The actual number of those who were martyred because of their faith in Jesus Christ is known to God only. No wonder that John was so astonished when he saw this beautiful woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. For those who are not acquainted with the church history this is incomprehensible. But many of the true believers in Christ were slaughtered and persecuted by the antichrist system throughout the ages. In Rev. 18, it states right at the end, “… for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth” (verse 23–24).

The church history is deeply immersed into the blood of the martyrs. Only at the Second Vatican Council which lasted from 1962 to 1965 it was agreed that the curse which was placed upon the Jews would no longer be valid. They were classified as “Christ-murderers”. Because of this curse repeated by the successive Popes upon the Jews they were persecuted, their possessions were taken, they were driven from place to place and killed by the multitudes. The same has happened with all who believed differently. But who knows something about the massacre in Ireland today? Who knows what was behind the Spanish Inquisition or St. Bartholomew’s Eve in France? Who knows what the Huguenots went through and the Mennonites here in Europe? Who knows something about the Waldensians in Austria, who were expropriated and driven out from their properties and dwelling places? What is with all the curses which were expressed, especially at the Council of Trient, and placed upon those who believed something else? They were never taken back. The goal is the same and so is the nature of this old institution. Only the strategy has changed. Are not all who believe differently, especially Bible believing Christians, still considered to be heretics, sectarians and so forth?

In Rev. 17, from verse 7, we see the mysterious constellation at the end, which is once more clearly pictured. The angel was asking John, “Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.” He received the following explanation, “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition.” This power does not come from above, but rather from below. The initiator and those who follow him will be cast into perdition, as Judas was. Through the decline of the Roman Empire Rome lost its power for some time, but at the end through the uniting of the religious and the political and economic powers this empire will rise to a power that it never had before.

Should there be one who still doesn’t realise the significance of this and doesn’t fully understand the description, let the last doubt be cleared through verse 9, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” The connection shows finally to the city that is meant, namely that which is built on seven hills. Whosoever has read carefully, should be able to understand the description and also place it accordingly. This city is called “the eternal one”, but it will be destroyed soon. It is, as God said in His Word, the divine wisdom together with the right understanding that are necessary to know and to recognise those things.

The seven heads, as we have seen, do not only have a single meaning. They also represent the seven special leaders in the various empires. At the time when John saw the vision on the isle of Patmos, five had already been, the sixth was there, and the seventh will be right during the end time. Thirdly, they also symbolise the seven heads amidst the newly re-established Roman Empire. Therefore, we read in Rev. 17:11, “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” This is highly interesting. Here we are reading about the eighth, and this one is also described as being the beast.

Whosoever has made a tour through the Vatican, will know what the tourists are told, before they go and look at the sights. The first thing they hear is that the Vatican is a state of its own with everything that an earthly government has. Thus we understand that the eighth, geographically speaking, belongs to the seventh but is self-existing, as the Vatican state is. It’s very simple, a state in the midst of a state, a country of its own in the midst of a country. It cannot be said clearer. Ambassadors of this state are everywhere, just like any other nation and country has. Benito Mussolini through the Lateran Pacts in the year 1929 assured the Pope sovereignty over the Vatican state, so that the Bible prophecy should finally be fulfilled. On 20th of July, 1933, followed what is known as the “Reichskonkordat” between Hitler and Pius XI. In that way the two catholic dictators had the mighty power of the church behind them.

The following explanation is given to us, “The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues” (Rev. 17: 15). Without a shadow of doubt, with this is Europe meant where at that time already were masses of nations and languages. Also verse 18 does not need any further explanation. Here we read, “And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

Who can deny that all great persons, especially politicians who wish to move up, make a trip to Rome? If there would not be the Vatican, no one would pay attention to that city. But because of this fact, the audiences of personalities out of every system make headlines in the papers and are also brought as the main events in the mass media.

Through the political channels unlimited influence is made possible to all the important countries on earth. There is only one power in the world which openly and also secretly demonstrates rulership over kings, heads of states, over democracies and dictatorships. There is only one all-embracing superpower on earth.

Now we are coming to a totally new symbol, which also belongs to the constellation of the antichrist system which consists of earthly, political and spiritually religious power. There is a reason why God used such pictures. It could not have been made any plainer, and the actual meaning appears more clearly as it is done through these symbols.
