The Mother of Harlots who is seen riding the beast is not alone. There are many others who have enjoyed this ride as they drank from the cup which the harlot carried and poured out. The beast is rising; the truth which sets the human condition free from sin and unites it with the True and Living God through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Many see a Woman, dressed provocatively sitting on a Beast of some kind. John was taken aback by the Woman in his vision, so much so; the angel noticed it. But I see a huge beast in the Spirit, one in which the whole of the world could fit. On that back are multitudes of rulers, nations, and peoples all of whom have their own cups. The Harlot fills each cup and together they are in a drunken stupor in rebellion against the Lord God and His Anointed.

Mother of Harlots and the Beast

Mother of Harlots -There is a woman who rides to power on the beast. This is found in Revelation 17, and in her hand is a glass of wine. In that cup we find abominations. So, it is here we find that the woman rides to power and her fame on the beast. She gains power, opportunity, fame, and influence over the world. This is also true of anyone who rides the beast in pursuit of their goals or dreams. Today in America and around the world, we find many who are riding the same beast to power and influence in the world. They are drinking from the same cup of abominations and sins. Not everyone has the same sins, abominations, or desires. That is why we find such a cup, so that all may drink whatsoever their heart desires. The treasures of Satan, i.e. the Beast; is vast and appeals to the human condition rife with lusts. The Lust of the eyes, the pride of life, and lust of the flesh!

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Rev 17:4-7

The Whore Church and the Mother of Harlots

Pope Francis, calling an agreement to bring in peace and unity of faith an “historic Document on Human Fraternity”; signed the statement with Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb one of the world leaders of Sunni Islam.

The document, signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, was prepared “with much reflection and prayer”, the Pope said. The one great danger at this moment, he continued, is “destruction, war, hatred between us.” “If we believers are not able to shake hands, embrace one another, kiss one another, and even pray, our faith will be defeated”, he said. The Pope explained that the document “is born of faith in God who is the Father of all and the Father of peace; it condemns all destruction, all terrorism, from the first terrorism in history, that of Cain.” 

Vaticannews.va

While the Pope heralded the agreement as did the Imam, many see this as the beginning of one world Religion. However, the Pope has been signing agreements with many different parties.  One of those, the Lutherans; with whom the Pope had “undertaken a common journey of reconciliation” and that they might “have a new opportunity to accept a common path”!  This event occurred during a year of celebration leading to Martin Luther’s 500^th anniversary of nailing his ninety-five thesis to a church door. This event led to a division of Christianity from the Catholic church that many saw as corrupt. It is also true that many believe the woman of Revelation 17 and the words about her ride on the beast reflects the Rome church. It says of this beast; “the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” However, when reflecting on this beast there is both a political power and a religious one world church in the end of days. Along with a world government controlled by the beast. Further, one thing is clear from history. That is that the Roman empire which was [controlled the world and under it; Christians suffered persecution], then it was not, and thus became Christian under Constantine; but then became alive again through the Roman church which ruled and reigned. It is also here that the Roman church persecuted believers. But to say that the Roman or Catholic church is the woman or Whore all by itself is an understatement here. The whore encompasses a lot more than just the Roman church.

But it is true, that the Pope has worked as did his predecessor Pope John Paul on uniting all religions and Christian faiths under the Catholic or Roman church. This alone is a signal that in the end of days this church will have profound influence on the one world religion. No doubt that it will influence the worlds faiths, for it has 1.2 billion adherents according to the Vatican. The impetus for this we can find in the fact of the recent document on Human Fraternity. Simply put the Roman church and Pope Francis believes that if the believers cannot be safe and enjoy their faith, live their faith; then “our faith will be defeated”!  Coming together to save the faith, particularly the Roman Catholic Church.

This Pope also signed an agreement with the Chinese government. This was September 22^nd, 2018. This allowed the re-admittance “into full ecclesial communion eight Chinese Bishops ordained without Pontifical Mandate”.  The problem with any agreement is that today we find the Chinese government’s ongoing Christian persecution. One of the first big signs was the imprisonment of Wang Yi and his church leaders, along with others on December 9^th, 2018. China has an ongoing campaign against not only the Christian faith but other religions as well.  The purpose is to make sure all religions serve the communist state first, giving it full adherence over anyone or anything else; this includes obedience to the gospel and to Jesus Christ.

However, if we go back to Pope John Paul; we find the Roman church accepts all faiths; including the big three of Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism which are directly opposite to Christian faith and the Bible. There are many efforts to bring all faiths to the Roman church if they will accept the papacy of Rome. It doesn’t matter if the doctrines of those who do accept the church of Rome are directly opposed to biblical apostolic Christian faith.

One major event was where Pope John Paul kissed the Koran and accepted “Allah”!   

Note, by kissing the Koran; you automatically accept Allah and Islam. Islam and their Allah reject God the Father having any Son. This is blatantly anti-Christ!

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

1Jn 2:22-25

John speaks to us today saying if “you deny the son, you do not have the Father”! Only if you acknowledge [receive the Son John 1, John 3, John 10] do you have the Father. This goes back to the truth of the gospel and those things which our Savior Jesus Christ told the Apostles, who told the early Church, who passed it on down.

But within these agreements and the Roman church you will find even American evangelical churches embracing Rome. 

Prominent American pastors Joel Osteen and Rick Warren, respectively, as well as Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, were among the Protestant delegation that met with Pope Francis last week. Pastor Warren, founder of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, spoke with members of the international press in St. Peter’s Square, saying, “Protestants, as a people, have a long history of heresy. The time for reconciliation is now to ensure a full and dogmatic transition into the folds of the Church.”

The path to success, fame, and fortune riding on the Beast

So far, I have given you just one example of Riding the Beast. The woman on the beast in Revelation has a cup of abominations. This woman with her wine of sinful indulgences makes the world drunk. Nations and peoples shall follow this example and drink of the wine which is poured out upon the nations.  We have people today around the world who find success, riches, fame, and fortune by riding the beast. These people embrace lifestyles that are immoral, and many times are an abomination to the Lord God. In America we see daily on the news, social feeds, and in the Hellywood promo machine the cursed wine being drunk. Come follow me, do as I do, do as I say; be rich, famous, and have everything.  The machine allows and pushes deception so that in these circles God is mocked, righteous virtue is the enemy, and anyone who dares speak of sin are the enemy.

How many a starlet, singer, actor, businessman, or even Pastor has found a way to rise to the top of the heap in the world with fame and fortune. These people find opportunity if they will walk the path of the beast, just as the Whore church has done and will do. Denying and even promoting the ways that lead to death. Paul said it best in Romans by listing characteristics of people that would not retain God in their knowledge.  These people would love vile affections and follow other abominable ways. In addition, Paul said of these people; “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”! In America, the political system, and in Hellywood; there is the A-list crowd of people who do this! They have pleasure in these things as they carry out the virulent death ritual of rebellion.

For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing; Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.

For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing: Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark. Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish, And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.

For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another: Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural: And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right; Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others; Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother, Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:

Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

(Rom 1:18-32)

People love darkness rather than light

It is not only in many nations which people do these things; but remember the cup the woman holds has it full of abominations. Different nations, different abominable ways. But all from the same cup which defies god, defies his Son, and defies his judgment. No matter that God sent his Son to die for the sins of men. No matter that God so loved the world of lost humans. In addition, creation is now caught up in that fall and corruption.  Without the redeemer Christ Jesus all will head to the same end. God made a way for people to be delivered, saved, washed of sin, and able to live above the lusts of the world. The problem is, as our Lord said, many will not come to the light to be saved because they love their deeds of darkness.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Joh 3:18-21 

The perfect biblical truth is that people will not be saved by human means or religious machines like the universal whore church that rides to prominence on the beast. The Roman church today is the Catholic church. But she is not alone, there are myriad of protestant churches in America and elsewhere who have lost the truth. Peter warned us that judgment must begin at God’s House!

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1Pe 4:17-18 

You cannot love the world more than God. You cannot love the human denominations, church affiliations, or social order more than God. You cannot separate God or Allah or any religion from the fact there is only one True God. That One True God has One True Son of God. In this end of days, the fight will be over that Son of God and the Father. As I pointed out above, it is Anti-Christ to deny the Son. If you deny the Son, you do not have the Father. The question is simple here. Ask yourself “what do I truly love above all else”? Then ask yourself “Have I received the Lord”! [See John chapters 1, 3, 10, 15 and 1^st John 1]

Human Wisdom, God, and Jesus Christ

Furthermore, let us follow the trail of the Mother of Harlots and look at a huge problem every human has. Many love their riches, lifestyles, religion, church, nation, and anything over God and His Son. The American way is to enjoy “Life, liberty, and Happiness”! The American mantra is to make this your pursuit by enjoying life and making it big. Make a name for yourself, be rich and successful. We have raised generations of young people on this. Our God has become Sports, jobs, movies, movie stars, politics, who we love, our cars, our houses, and our bank account. We have become idolaters in the truest sense of the word and have not given one ounce of prevention to the cure. Remember the idiom “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”?  This is a quote from Benjamin Franklin! Of course, here, that ounce of prevention would be biblical truth given to an unbiblical world.

Many people respect ole Ben and his wisdom, which I certainly do; this man had a lot to say. Much of it is true human wisdom. For instance, he also said “Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow”! Now that is good wisdom. But he also said, “God helps those who help themselves”! This sounds good. As a young boy and a teen growing up, I heard this one a lot. I grew up thinking “God helps those”, but only “those who help themselves”! This is misleading. While you can use it for the lazy one who waits for deliverance or a job; there is more to this. God sent his son to die for our sins when we could do nothing about them. We were lost, without God, without hope, without any promises in this world. We were sinners and the soul that sins shall die. As a result, today by no power of your own except to acknowledge and come to the Lord; can you be saved and forgiven. God did the work, but you must decide. That is the only thing you can do.

Moreover, Ben also said “He that lives on Hope will die fasting”! This quote if applied to the Christian is a path leading to misconception and untruth. The life of a believer is on a hope, Christ our solid rock. I have come to view Benjamin Franklin as a main deist if I were to take only his secular sayings. He believes in God, but that God is far off. Much has to be done by man himself. Of course, in the early days of America, much had to be done. You couldn’t just hope God would build your cabin; you had to do it yourself or have help from friends. This applied to daily life as well.  Remember Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden and God took care of them. They sinned against God, were kicked out of the Garden. Thus, man had to live, work, and play, outside the grace and redemption of God.   Yet God expects us to do something. We must believe, we must repent, we must follow him, and we must work. This is life!

 Finally, in giving respect and truth regarding Benjamin Franklin I spend time with him because he helped carve out our nation, constitution, and way of life. In his early life he did not attend much church at all. In fact, he said “Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian Assemblies”. But this man had some idea of Christ Jesus. While I said above Benjamin Franklin was a deist, I related that supposition on the fact of just his secular quotes.  Let it be known he also said “How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few, His precepts”!  Benjamin Franklin also gave Creedence to the Lord Jesus Christ by saying “The moral and religious system which Jesus Christ transmitted to us is the best the world has ever seen or can see”!

Finally, Franklin gave us his creed!

Here is my creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.

Benjamin Franklin Creed on God

Benjamin Franklin was a man who saw God as the one to whom all people would stand before one day. He could not give any creed or quarter to religion, religious people, and churches. Mainly because they quarreled about religion while many people quarreled over food or survival. He said himself “Revealed religion has no weight with me”! His reasoning was that he saw it as not producing enough good works; “real good works” he writes. He saw the Christian religion as one totally taken up by “holy day keeping, sermon hearing, long prayers, flatteries, and compliments.” Further, he says these things were “despised by wise men”, I believe referring to himself and others like him. He also saw that it was “less capable of pleasing the deity.”  He was a wise practical man who believed in God but what he saw was organized religion looking inward and did not solve societies problems.

This indeed, reminds me of organized religions of all sorts, including Christianity. There are those Christian organizations that have people and supporters whose sole goal is to help others in the name of Jesus Christ. Today that is going on; but also, how many Christians are doing exactly what Benjamin Franklin despised. Going through routine Christian keeping of church attendance, sermon hearing, long prayers, flattering each other in their faith, and ignoring the real menace to society.  Society’s ills were many, but so many people are facing rejection, loneliness, social ills, and sin.  In the end, society ended up rejecting the Church because the church was so like the world; there was no difference.

But in truth, the church is real people, born again, with Gods Spirit, following the Lord Jesus Christ. The ecclesia or called out ones are people; they are the temple of God. The place where they gather can be a building, a bank by a river, under a tree, or a primitive structure out in the bush of Africa. This is the real church!  Benjamin Franklin did not see nor understand this real ecclesia. By human wisdom you cannot truly know God. You can know of God, but not have a relationship until you personally know him. He cannot be known by human wisdom or the worlds wisdom; he is Spiritually discerned. There are many such religions that placate mans need for worship and adherence. But religion as such will send you to hell. You need redemption!

Today the rich and in need of nothing churches, and the dead churches, along with all the others will face the judgment of Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ {Yeshua}!

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

2Co 5:9-10 

Here is another quote concerning Benjamin Franklin. “It is much to be lamented that a man of Franklin’s general good character and great influence should have been an unbeliever in Christianity, and also have done as much as he did to make others unbelievers.” The belief that Benjamin Franklin was not a Christian can be affirmed through his quotes. However, he did believe and give credence to God. Whether he came to Christ Jesus, and anyone knew it cannot be determined that I can tell. However, he did not dispose to giving evidence that he realized Christ Jesus was his savior.

Today there are many who along with the woman of Revelation 17 are riding on the beast who will come to power with the help of the beast. Make no mistake, the same fruits of the Whore and her abominations have filled the world with godlessness. It is only the beginning.

The truth of who the Whore is will be revealed in its fulness when the beast of Revelation 18 is revealed. All this will happen, meanwhile; we must walk the same path and the same hard life that Franklin walked. We may have more technology and many things are easier; but the problems we face are the same. We must live, work, and make our way in the life God gives us. We are surrounded by problems, wars, rumors of war, natural disasters, and other things. Franklin became “not so enamored” with the church of Jesus Christ.  The truth is out there. God does help those who cannot deliver themselves or get out of the complexity of sin! It is up to the Church of Jesus Christ to make sure it is not like the Church Benjamin Franklin so disliked!

We can say without hesitation that many around the world are finding Christ today. They are finding help, forgiveness, redemption, and comfort in Jesus Christ. For this, we thank our God and Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The people are hearing because Christian believers, leaders, pastors, and missionaries are sacrificing themselves to get the real delivering truth and power to those who need help. Also, the truth is reaching those who are the enemies of Christ Jesus, and they are coming to the Lord!

The Lord is Lord overall the church and he will judge his church and those within it. Let us rise to further the reach of the gospel of Jesus Christ to help those who need help and the touch of our living Savior and redeemer Jesus Christ; to the glory of the Father! So be it!

As for the Roman Church, be sure that all within her are not going to hell. There are saints within, some of whom I have known. Some stay to bring the truth. Nevertheless, judge if you dare; for the Protestant churches need to awaken! For the judgment will begin at the House of God, then the end shall come!
