The Revelation: Chapter Seventeen © John of AllFaith*

To understand the symbolism of this chapter, we must understand a prevalent biblical metaphor: Spiritual harlotry and adultery.

Israel, the Jewish people, is likened to the wife of HaShem in many places. For example, in Ezekiel 16, HaShem's choosing of Israel as His "wife" and her subsequent "harlotry" is discussed. An excerpt from that chapter will illustrate this essential prophetic principle. As we consider the "Whore of Babylon," we find a counterfeit wife who has deceived all the nations, including Israel. To understand her, we need to comprehend what she is the counterfeit of.
Ezekiel 16:1, 2 Again the word of Adonai came to me, saying,
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

The word abomination is a translation of the Hebrew word tow'ebah (pronounced: to-ay-baw), which refers explicitly to idolatrous practices that displease God. This word has nothing to do with human sexuality unless that sexuality is directly involved in the worship of other gods. Israel must acknowledge her whorings if she is to be forgiven of them by her Husband.

The Israelites discussed in Ezekiel 16 were committing abominations or tow'ebah against HaShem. Let's read this section to understand what we as a people have done and continue to do and how it is that despite our tow'ebah , HaShem remains faithful to our marriage covenant.

HaShem Chose Israel as His "Wife"
Ezekiel 16:5 No one pitied you [Israel] enough to do any of these things for you out of compassion; on the day you were born, you were left lying, rejected, in the open field.
16:6 I [HaShem] passed by and saw you flailing about in your blood. As you lay in your blood, I said to you, "Live!
16:7 and grow up like a plant of the field." You grew up and became tall and arrived at full womanhood; your breasts formed, and your hair grew, yet you were naked and bare.
16:8 I passed by you again and looked on you; you were at the age for love. I spread the edge of my cloak over you and covered your nakedness: I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you became mine.

Rashi clarifies verse six this way:
With your blood, live: Even with this loathsomeness of yours, you shall not die. He repeats this a second time because they were redeemed with the blood of the Passover sacrifice and the blood of circumcision (Pirke d'Rabbi Eliezer, chapter 29).

And concerning verse eight, he explains:
I spread My robe over you: This is an act symbolizing espousal [see Deut. 23.1; Ruth 3.9].
We continue:
16:9 I bathed you with water, washed off the blood, and anointed you with oil.
16:10 I clothed you with embroidered cloth and sandals of fine leather; I bound you in fine linen and covered you with rich fabric.
16:11 I adorned you with ornaments: I put bracelets on your arms, a chain on your neck,
16:12 a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
16:13 You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, rich fabric, and embroidered cloth. You had the best flour and honey and oil for food. You grew exceedingly beautiful, fit to be a queen.

HaShem gave us everything, but we grew fat and complacent.

Israel Committed Spiritual Adultery
Ezekiel 16:14 Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty. It was perfect because of My splendor that I bestowed on you, says the Lord God.
16:15 But you trusted in your beauty, and played the whore because of your fame, and lavished your whorings on any passer-by.
16:16 You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore; nothing like this has ever been or ever shall be again.

The Hebrew suggests this whoring was done in the "high places" where the ritualistic groves of Moloch, Ashtaroth, and so on. The Jews are spiritually "married" to HaShem, and for them to embrace and cavort with other gods (or goddesses) and commit avodah zara (foreign worship and other practices) is rightly likened to prostitution and tow'ebah . Israel repeatedly committed spiritual adultery against her Husband, HaShem.

In brief, the Ten Northern Houses of Israel disappeared from history due to spiritual adultery (II Kings 17:18). HaShem chose the Southern Kingdom of Judah (and Benjamin) to maintain the eternal Covenant. Eventually, similar failings by Judah caused it to fall as well, but Judah was never 'divorced' by HaShem like Ephraim, but they were chastised. Scripture states:
There was none left [of Israel], but the tribe of Judah only" (II Kings 17:18).

"And I saw, because of all that backsliding Israel [the Northern ten tribes] had committed adultery, I sent her away, and I gave her her bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, did not fear, and she too went and played the harlot (Jeremiah 3:8).

This experience was a culling of the people by HaShem. It demonstrated the importance of loyalty and obedience to His Torah and established that HaShem is sovereign in the affairs of humanity. He builds up or removes governments as He desires (Daniel 4:17). HaShem chose to favor Judah and secured their continued existence as His Elect. From that time on, the Abrahamic and Sinai Covenant and Promise passed only through Judah (and Benjamin) and the Jews.

The Ongoing Results of Spiritual Adultery
Ezekiel 16:20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to be devoured by them. Was your harlotry a small matter,
16:21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, causing them to pass through the fire to them?

16:32 A wife who commits adultery! Who takes strangers instead of her husband!

The Bride of the Anointed

Yochanan's teacher, Yeshua ben Miriam, used this common Hebrew metaphor, likening Mashiach ben David to a Bridegroom:
Matthew 25:1-13 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten [espouced] virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Those who were foolish took no oil with them when they took their lamps, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight, there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'
Then, all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves.'
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward, the other virgins came, saying, 'Master, master [kurios, kurios], open to us.' But he answered, 'Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you.' Watch, therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man [huios anthropos] is coming.

Many people misunderstand the term "Son of Man," but its meaning is reasonably straightforward in Greek. It would make no sense for the Messiah to refer to himself in the third person this way. By using it, Yeshua is clearly pointing to another man. That man, Mashiach ben David, will be a huios, a mortal man born like all others, of human parents. Prefacing with the word huios to anthropos tells us that Yeshua is referring to a mortal who will depend on his fellows to complete his task, signifying that the future Mashiach ben David, the Bridegroom in this parable, must wait until his ten (all) brides are ready to finalize the wedding. Noting the Bridegroom could not when he desired but had to wait until midnight agrees with Yochanan's prophecy and others. For example, Yeshua says in Matthew 24 that the Mashiach or Bridegroom will arrive at the point when his people are facing genocide, at the midnight hour. Why? Because they lack sufficient spiritual oil or teshuvah-born emunah. If the Bridegroom continued waiting until all ten made teshuvah, his people would be genocided. Therefore, he will intervene before that to rescue them. Even at that late hour, most Jews remain unprepared, playing religion and politics but lacking the needed spiritual "oil."

The Whore of Babylon and Her Daughters

In chapters two and three, we learned how the Nicolaitan Heresy gradually usurped the Way taught by Yeshua and how the Nicean Church (the religion based on the Roman Nicean Creed and Constantine) gradually distanced itself from its Jewish roots and established the "Universal Religion" of Catholicism.

In chapter three, we read that the seventh Way assembly period - the Assembly at Laodecia - was vomited into the Tribulation Period. Now you understand how and why the Laodicean Counsel replaced the Way Sect with the Church, as discussed above. Yochanan was spot on!

Skip forward: As the Times of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24) draws to a close and the Tribulation Period begins, the Church will be (even now is being) vomited out and severed from the Tree of Israel as Paul discusses at Romans 11. Most Christians today, like most Jews and those of other religions, have lost sight of the sovereignty of God.

The majority of religions and their memberships today are essentially spiritually "naked." Most have lost their divine covering. Large segments have so thoroughly embraced Humanism, political correctness, and eclecticism that their ancestors would not recognize them as practitioners of their faith traditions! As Yochanan noted, most are lukewarm at best (Revelation 3:14-18). They stand for nothing, and so they will fall for anything, including the religion of the False Prophet, the Great Reset to Paganism.

This sorry state of the Jews and others is nothing new! It's why all the intended days for the Redemption have already passed according to the Jewish sages (Sanhedrin Folio 97a and 97b). Listen to the words of Prophet Isaiah and make teshuvah:
63:1 Who is this coming from Edom [it is HaShem],
In crimsoned garments from Bozrah—
Who is this, majestic in attire,
Pressing forward in His great might?
"It is I, who contend victoriously,
Powerful to give triumph."

63:2 Why is your clothing so red,
Your garments like his who treads grapes?

63:3 "I trod out a vintage alone [i.e., I stomp My like grapes in a winepress];
Of the people groups, no one was with Me.
I trod them down in My anger,
Trampled them in My rage;
Their lifeblood splattered My garments,
And stained all My clothing.

63:4 I had in mind a day of vengeance,
And the year of My Redemption has arrived [i.e., the 6th millennium, the reign of My servant Mashiach ben David]

63:5 Then I looked, but there was none to help [i.e., My people Israel from their enemies];
I considered that there was none to aid [i.e., My people Israel from their enemies]—
And so My own might wrought their triumph
And only My fury aided Me.

63:6 I trampled the people groups in My anger,
I made them drunk through My rage.
I hurled their glory to the ground" [consider Revelation 14:17-20].

63:7 I [i.e., Isaiah] will recount the kindnesses of Adonai,
The praises of Adonai—
For all that Adonai has done for us,
His vast bounty to the House of Israel
That He bestowed upon them
According to His mercy and His great kindness.

63:8 He [i.e., Adonai] thought: Surely they are My people,
Children who will not play false.
So He was their Deliverer.

63:9 In all their afflictions, He too was afflicted,
And the angel of His Presence delivered them [Ibn Ezra notes this refers to the exodus from Egypt (Num. 20:16) but does not refer to Moses but to a celestial angel].
In His love and pity
He [God] Himself redeemed them,
Raised them, and carried them
All the days of old [or "All the days of the long period" signifying He has carried Israel throughout our history, not just during the exodus period].

63:10 But they rebelled [and vexed], and grieved
His holy spirit [ruach hakodesh [Ibn Ezra says this is a figurative expression. He notes that some understand "by the Ruach HaKodesh" to refer to the angel of the Lord." To remove this anthropomorphism, Targum Jonathan renders it: they acted provokingly against the words of His holy prophets. One must be careful to interpret such passages according to context.]
Then He became their enemy,
And Himself made war against them [i.e., against Israel].
Note: Verse eleven is not completely clear:
63:11 Then they [the Hebrew says "he" here because Israel is collectively the Suffering Servant; compare Isaiah 52-54] remembered the ancient days.
He [Adonai] pulled His people out [of the waters of the Sea of Reeds]: [Some translators render the word משה or moshe here as if it refers to Moshe Rebbenu rather as a participle, meaning brought or drawn out. Pharoe's daughter named him Moshe because he was "drawn out" of the Nile. While either reading can be supported, the context seems to favor the translation I include here. HaShem delivered His people, and His people will eventually realize this and make teshuvah. Moshe was the servant He used to accomplish His will. As vital as Moshe is, HaShem alone redeems His people].
"Where is He [HaShem] who brought them up from the Sea
Along with the shepherd of His flock [this refers to Moshe]?
Where is He who put in their midst the [et] holy spirit? [Hebrew ruach kodesh],

63:12 That made His [HaShem's] glorious arm [i.e., HaShem's angel from verse 9; see Exodus 14:19]
March at the right hand of Moses,
Who divided the waters [of the Sea of Reeds] before them
To make Himself [HaShem] a name for all time.

63:13 [He] Who led them through the deeps
So that they did not stumble—
As a horse in a desert,

63:14 Like a beast descending to the plain?"
It was the spirit [ruach of Adonai that gave them rest [i.e., not Moshe and not being other than HaShem];
Thus did You [HaShem] shepherd Your people [through Moshe, but Ibn Ezra notes that the suffix (ו To win for Yourself a glorious name [this line still suggests that the previous line refers to HaShem, who will win for Himself a glorious name. Moshe is honored, of course, but fame and glory were not his intentions].

63:15 Look down from heaven and see,
From Your holy and glorious height!
Where is Your zeal, Your power?
Your yearning and Your love
Are being withheld from us!
63:16 Surely You are our Father:
Though Abraham regard us not,
And Israel recognize us not,
You, O Adonai [ata Adonai], are our Father;
From olden times, Your name has been "Our Redeemer."
63:17 Why, Adonai, do You make us stray from Your ways and turn our hearts away from revering You?
Return to us for the sake of Your servants, the tribes, that are Your very own! [This is a reference to HaShem hardening Pharoe's heart. Because of our sins and lack of emunah, He places concealments before us. Yet He calls us to make teshuvah, to return to Him. When we do, He removes the concealments and reveals Himself ever more completely.]

63:18 Our foes have trampled Your Sanctuary, which the people of Your holiness possessed for only a short time. [Ibn Ezra notes: Some explain the verse thus: The people of Thy holiness have been dispossessed (by the enemy) for a "small thing" or for a "short time," and this latter explanation is correct.]

This lengthy passage may seem like a departure from our topic, but it is not. It is crucial information. It is we who have abandoned HaShem, not the other way around. HaShem has implored us to return to Him for almost six thousand years. No matter the blessings and evidence he grants us, we collectively demand more as we turn away from Him. As we approach the conclusion of Yochanan's Revelation, the time for teshuvah is ending. He has never abandoned us.

As Yochanan says:
I John 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, can not love God whom he has not seen. This is a commandment from God: One who loves God should also love his brother.

As the False Prophet arises, he will use the Nicolaitan dogma to unite the vomited-out religious and other disbelievers in worshiping the Beast and his master, Dagon. The restored Tower of Babel will rise with Rex Mundi as Nimrod. Oh yes, history repeats.

Babylon the Great: Mother of Harlots
Revelation 17:1, 2 One of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

The power and authority of the Great Whore of Babylon will extend across the oceans and engulf all nations as the Nephilim activate the Great Reset to Paganism. Through Babylon the Great, the False Prophet will make the mighty ones of the Earth and common folk alike drunk with the cup she holds.

The Whore of Babylon is none other than the Nephilim Semiramis, mother and wife of Nimrod, a great-grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:8-12). Semiramis is worshipped under many names, including Istar and Eostar (from whence comes the holiday name Easter). She ruled over the religious affairs of the Ziggurat of Babel, where she was worshipped as the Great Goddess, Mother and Consort of Nimrod. She is also the origin of Venus, the Goddess of Love, and many other Pagan deities. Isaiah 14:12-14 refers to her as "Heylel," meaning light-bearer, shining one, and morning star. Due to the historical context, many traditional Jewish commentators interpret Heylel as the king of Babylon. As with many passages of prophetic Writ, there is more than a single plausible interpretation. Rashi speaks of Heyel this way:
Lucifer, the morning star: This is Venus, which gives light as the morning star, הֵילֵל being derived from יהל, to shed light, showing the lamentation over the heavenly prince of Babylon, who will fall from heaven.

Often, a single passage will have a literal, more immediate meaning, as here with Nebuchadnezzar, and a more expansive meaning wherein we see Heylel as Venus, a female Lucifer (lit. "bearer of lumens" or light) character, harkening back to the Nephilim Semiramis.

Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter in Opposition to HaShem (Genesis 10:9), is the merman god Dagon. The first mention of Dagon in the Bible is in Joshua 15:41 and 19:27, where his name identifies a center of his worship (a Beth-Dagon or house of Dagon). Judges 16:23 refers to one of his temples during the account of Samson. Other references are 1 Chronicles 10:10 and 1 Samuel 5:1–8. Dagon was worshipped throughout Mesopotamia, especially by the Philistines and Assyrians. Ancient texts refer to Dagon as the father of all other gods. He is the Lord of the Dragons and Mer People, the House Merovingian. He was the Father of Ba'al and chief of all pantheons. He was Osiris, as worshipped in Egypt, and he remains a mighty Nephilim overlord who will possess and raise the corpse of the Rex Mundi.

Thanks to the Epic of Gilgamesh and other archeological records discovered in the Mesopotamian and Egyptian ruins, we know a lot about this Nephilim couple and their Zigurat at Babel, from whence the Babylonian Empire of Biblical significance emerged. Avraham Avinu's father, Terah, the ninth in descent from Noah, was an idol maker for Nimrod and Semiramis. Of this, Jewish Midrash tells us, according to Genesis Rabbah 38.13:
Terah [Abraham's father] was an idol maker for Nimrod. He once went away and left Abraham in charge of the store. A man walked in and wished to buy an idol. Abraham asked how old he was, and the man responded, "50 years old." Abraham said, "You are 50 and would worship a day-old statue!" At this point, the man left, ashamed.
Later, a woman walked into the store and wanted to make an offering to the idols. So Abraham took a hammer, smashed the idols, and placed the hammer in the hand of the largest idol [which was Dagon according to tradition]. When Terah returned, he asked Abraham what happened to all the idols. Abraham told him that a woman came in to make an offering to the idols. The idols argued about which one should eat the offering first, and then the largest idol [which was Dagon according to tradition] took the hammer and smashed all the other idols. Terah responded by saying that they are only statues and have no knowledge. At this point, Abraham responded, saying, "You deny their knowledge and power, and yet you worship them! At this, Terah took Abraham to see Nimrod.
Nimrod demanded that Abraham should worship fire [probably the god, Nuska]. Abraham responded that water puts out fire. So Nimrod demanded that he worship water [probably the god, Enki]. Abraham responds that clouds hold water. So Nimrod declares that he must worship the clouds [probably the god, Anu]. Abraham responds that wind pushes clouds. So Nimrod demanded that he worship wind [probably the god, Pazuzu]. Abraham replied that people can withstand wind. At this response, Nimrod became furious with Abraham and ordered his servants to throw Abraham into a fire pit. Nimrod said that if Abraham were correct about the weaknesses of Babylonian gods, then perhaps the God of the Hebrews would save him. If not, his death would be compelling evidence on behalf of the gods of Babel and its king. So, Abraham went into the fire, and the true God delivered him.
Learning about what happened, Abraham's brother Haran declared his emunah in the God of Abraham, thus further angering Nimrod. Haran was thrown into the fire, but God did not save him. For this reason, according to Genesis Rabbah 38.13, Genesis 11:28 reads: "And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees."

Haran didn't have emunah or authentic faith in HaShem like Abraham. He acted on what he saw; he needed proof like a scientist. Haran reasoned that since God saved Abraham, he would be rescued too simply by doing what his brother did. There is a most important lesson here! Being biblically knowledgable, a rabbi or other religious leader, etc., means nothing to HaShem. God demands personal emunah (faith) and bitichon (reliance) in Him alone as He has demanded of humanity since the beginning. Haran was not saved from the fire because he lacked emunah.

It is worth noting in passing that Al Qu'ran discusses the same story in Sura 21:51-70 (using the "royal" or courtly "we" ):
51. We gave Abraham his integrity formerly, and We knew him well.
52. When he asked his father and his people, "What are these statues you are so devoted to?"
53. They said, "We found our parents worshiping them."
54. He said, "You and your parents are in evident error."
55. They said, "Are you telling us the truth, or are you just playing with us?"
56. He said, "Your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the One who created them, and I bear witness to that.
57. "By God, I will have a plan for your idols after you have gone away."
58. So he reduced them into pieces, except for their biggest, that they may return to it.
59. They said, "Who did this to our gods? He is certainly one of the wrongdoers."
60. They said, "We heard a youth mentioning them; he is called Abraham."
61. They said, "Bring him before the eyes of the people so that they may witness."
62. They said, "Are you the one who did this to our gods, O Abraham?"
63. He said, "But this biggest of them did it. Ask them if they can speak."
64. Then they turned to one another and said, "You yourselves are the wrongdoers."
65. They reverted to their old ideas: "You certainly know that these do not speak."
66. He said, "Do you worship, instead of God, what can neither benefit you in anything nor harm you?
67. Fie on you and on what you worship instead of God. Do you not understand?"
68. They said, "Burn him and support your gods if you are willing to stand [like men]."
69. We said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."
70. They planned to harm him, but We made them the worst losers.

After Nimrod's death, c. 2167 B.C.E., Semiramis claimed to have had a vision: A mature evergreen tree sprouted from the roots of a dead tree stump, signifying to her that Nimrod would resurrect from the dead and continue his global rule in opposition to the will of HaShem. Subsequently, every year on his birthday, the winter solstice, Nimrod supposedly visits the tree and leaves gifts for all who honor him. Those who worship Nimrod and Semiramis erect and decorate holiday trees in their honor and place presents under them. Those interested in the origins of ancient customs and holidays such as Yule, Saturnalia, Christmas, Faunalia, Ashura, Bodhi Day, Egil Skallagrimsson Day, Agonalia, Brumalia, Kwanzaa, Carmentalia, Easter, and many others may find my study Christmas: The Mother of All Pagan Holidays of interest.

Semiramis later gave birth to Horus, also known as Gilgamesh, and declared that he was Nimrod returned. Thus developed the Trinity of Father Nimrod, Mother Semiramis, and Child Horus. Worshippable Triune godheads flourished among the various ancient traditions, including Christianity, as discussed elsewhere.

Now you can identify the Great Whore of Babylon and what the Great Reset is already promoting. The Babel Trinity is returning.

Soon, Rex Mundi will arise as Nimrod and delegate all matters of religion and health to his beloved Semiramis as before. For this reason, some suggest that the False Prophet may be female and presented to the world as the avatar or incarnation of Semiramis. Others believe the False Prophet will be Horus returned and that Semiramis will have supposedly transcended terrestrial and celestial existence so as to be worshipped as the disincarnate Great Mother of all homo deus children in mockery of Adonai's non-physical existence. I expect the latter.

In any case, Babylon the Great will be the true "Universal Church" of the near future envisioned by the Nephilim for the final destruction of homo sapien life and the enslavement of the homo deus (or homo diablos, as I call them).

Understand that Babylon the Great has existed since the days of the Nimrod, Semiramis, and Horus on the one hand. Still, on the other, Babylon the Great won't truly exist in its ultimate form until the Rex Mundi and his Prophet bring it forth. The Catholic Church, the Free Masons, the Rosicrucian Order, etc., are not Babylon the Great, and yet the Nephilim behind Babylon the Great are very much active in most power structures, including these today as they have always been since "the [males among the] divine beings saw how pleasing the human women were and took wives from among those who delighted them" (Genesis 6:2).

I understand that tracing all these evils back to the Nephilim and through Nimrod and Semiramis is difficult for some people to comprehend; however, when we follow the biblical and secular stream of history, it is both logical and historically supportable.

Concerning Semiramis' activity among the original Way sect, Yochanan says:
Revelation 2:20 - 23 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit harlotry and to eat things sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refused to repent of her harlotry. Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation unless they repent of her works. I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

It was Semiramis, as Jezebel, who deceived the Way Jewish sect into embracing the Nicolaitan worldview. Note that the text says, "Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation." Jezebel, Semiramis, is a succubus who seduces and deceives the world through lust and greed. Historically, Jezebel was a Phoenician royal whose identity and name have come to signify a power-hungry, violent, and whorish woman. Tradition says that she was a disciple of the Baal cult (the religion of Babel). Jezebel promised to kill Prophet Elijah, who fled when hearing her plan. She fosters apostasy and division and seeks to consume the souls of humanity for her Nephilim purposes. As an avatar of Semiramis, Jezebel has been present since the Great Flood, undermining the unity of humanity as HaShem has allowed her. Some say she is Lilith. One can conceive of Semiramis in various ways. She is, in a sense, the Anti-Shekinah. She can be thought of simply as the human tendency towards negativity; however conceived, she has been the enemy of all things true and positive since the beginning.

Once Rex Mundi comes to public power, Semiramis' work will be complete. The Ziggurat of Babel will once again rise, and the unholy trinity will rule over all the earth with the ultimate goal of genociding Israel.

We continue now with Yochanan's Revelation.
17:3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

This "wilderness" refers to the devastated city of Rome, which Yochanan had previously beheld in ruins (Revelation 14:8). According to tradition, on April 21, 753 B.C.E., Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, founded Rome on the site where a she-wolf had suckled them as orphaned infants. The connection between this story, the wolf, and Semiramis is worth studying but falls beyond our current considerations.

We've discussed this scarlet-colored Beast and its symbolism in some detail before in this study (Revelation. 12:3 etc). The color of the Beast, usually translated as scarlet, is kokkinos and more closely translates as crimson, the blood color of royalty. The woman is Jezebel, Semiramis, the Whore of Babylon, and she symbolically strides Rex Mundi as a lover, as Semiramis did Nimrod. As we will again below, the False Prophet will be the leader of the Babylon the Great organization and High Prophet of the Merovingian Order, which is the Order of "Old Nick," Nicholas of Mira and Goddess Pasqua Epiphania (which another connection with Christmas and the Old Religion).
Revelation 13:12 He [i.e., the False Prophet] exercises all the first beast's authority in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first beast [i.e., Rex Mundi] whose fatal wound was healed.
13:13 He performs great signs, even making fire come from the sky to the earth in people's sight.
13:14 He deceives my own people [i.e., the Jews] who dwell on the earth because of the signs granted him to do in front of the Beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

Next, Yochanan describes what will become of Jezebel, the goddess of the Great Reset.
17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand was a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.

This is even as stated:
Revelation 3:17 Because you say, 'I am rich and have gotten riches, and require nothing.'

The boast is not without truth. Semiramis has wielded great power, wealth, and influence through organized religion. By the point Yochanan is describing now, she and her vile lovers will appear to be invincible. She is no longer hiding her true Nephilim intentions. She is seeking to destroy all homo sapien life.

The cup she is holding that is filled with her abominations refers to all her many abuses of religious AND political authority. For centuries, Jezebel has manipulated the Church, altering its Torah-based teachings, dividing its people, abusing its power, and so on with her Nicolaitan doctrines, her wealth, and her malice against HaShem and His Elect (the Jews). Although Jezebel sits as a queen who is "in need of nothing," her vileness has now been "remembered" by HaShem:
Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God recalled Babylon the Great to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

The identity of "the great city" is uncertain. Some assume this refers to Jerusalem, given the emphasis on Israel in this war. This interpretation makes sense for several reasons. The Son of Perdition will commit the abomination of desolation there, and that event will establish the Nicolaitan power of Babylon the Great, mentioned next. To support this, some point to the prophecy of the Mount of Olives splitting, looking for a connection. That event will occur three and a half years later, which seems wrong. Others see an association with the City of Rome or the modern City of Babylon. Many assumed that the Beast's headquarters for Rome's restoration would be the city of Rome; however, Brussels and Luxembourg house the departments and executive agencies of the EU. Iraq is not a world or regional power like Iran (Persia). The truth is that the identity of "the Great City" remains a point of conjecture. Regardless of this unknown, this Seventh Trumpet earthquake will have planetary implications.

MYSTERY: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OTHER ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:5 And a name was written on her forehead, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF WHORES AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

This much-debated verse sheds some light on the End Times identity of Semiramis. However, this light requires interpretation beyond the limits of the literal text. What follows is an interpretation on my part but one based tightly on the biblical prophets.
MYSTERY:
This word is musterion and refers to something hidden from the masses but revealed to initiates. Therefore, we conclude that while the masses will not understand, the Globalists will. They have been working in the shadows for millennia to realize this dream.

Musterion means more than "Here's a mystery to figure out." It speaks of Occultic hidden knowledge, Secret Orders, and cabals within (and without) the Order of its initiates. This mystery includes the Nicolaitane Heresy, concealed within certain Orders since the late second century. But it means more and predates that period. Despite whispered voices here and there, few knew these Orders existed or what they were doing, but they were always there, just under the surface. While the devout faced their altars in prayer to the God of Heaven according to their knowledge, the Nicolaitans were worshiping another. They considered the laity to be little more than mindless serfs to be manipulated and milked for money. Once in power, the Roman Vatican recast the Roman Mystery cults as holders of secret Christian doctrines for the continuance and advancement of this Dark Mystery.

BABYLON THE GREAT:
We discussed the four kingdoms that would rule the earth according to Daniel's revelation. The first of these was Babylon. As explained, King Nebuchadnezzar intensely believed in the Occult and the supernatural. The four kingdoms were like a growing storm that would eventually become the final typhoon with Rex Mundi and his Novus Ordo Seclorum:

The Kingdoms or Empires:

1. Babylonia: King Nebuchadnezzar: Mysticism and the Occult
2. Medo-Persia: Cyrus the Great: Promotion of dualism (manipulation of Zoroastrianism)
3. Greece: Alexander the Great: Globalism, Humanism and Cultural Hellenistic Unification
And 4. The Roman Empire: Mysticism and the Occult, Hellenistic Unification supported by crushing absolute global power utilizing the Nicolaitan principles of conquest and the merging of religion and state.

Babylon the Great will be the globally mandated Occult religion of Nimrod and Semiramis. The Remnant will be like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whom Nebuchadnezzar cast into the fiery furnace (Dan. 3). This is why the social manipulators are pushing so many paranormal television shows and movies; they are conditioning the public for their post-scientific reign of terror. It's the reason for the popularity of topics like Vampires, Angel worship, New Age mysteries, etc. It's why so many movies today have dark spiritual overtones or undercurrents glorifying or minimizing death. The Elites are preparing the world for Babylon the Great.

THE MOTHER OF WHORES:
Who are the children of Mother Whore? It seems obvious enough. Among these children will be all the denominations and sects that emerged from Jezebel and hold to Roman religion and creeds like the Nicene and the rest. But remember, Babylon the Great does not yet exist. Some of what we see in organized religion comes from this source, but other aspects do not. Only when the Nephilim elite activates the Rex Mundi and his False Prophet will Babylon the Great come into existence, and then all the world's religions will embrace the Beast. Once activated, the remnant will need to resign from these sects and all other bodies that embrace the ministry of the False Prophet. This call has yet to be issued.

Also, understand that Jezebel did not begin her work in Rome! As the instrument of Heylel, "that woman Jezebel" was present from the earliest times as Semiramis. Semiramis whispered seductively into King Nebuchadnezzar's ear to cast Prophet Daniel into the lion's den. It was she who seduced the Pharaohs with Occult knowledge and gave them the wisdom of the stars, who established the Egyptian legacy that eventually passed on to the Merovingians (who worship power above all else) and the Bavarian Illuminati (who worship "Old Nick" called by countless names including Moloch and Dagon). Semiramis led Nicholas of Myra and other early "Church fathers" astray and into the apostasies of the Nicolaitan Heresy that separated the Way from its Jewish roots. When the Protestant Reformers demanded the Vatican return to biblical doctrine, it was she who promoted the infighting that left the Reformation hopelessly divided into thousands of competing sects, all of which maintained Constantine's Nicene dogmas, preventing them from rediscovering the Way.

The Splitting of the Elm and the Knights Templar
Gathered under an elm at Giseau, France, the mysterious Knights Templar angered the global powers, so Semiramis seduced King Phillipe to conduct the Friday the Thirteenth Massacre against them. Then, she led the Knights to seek protection in Scotland, where they became holdings of the Merovingian elite and holders of their dark mystories.

While the following may appear to take us off-topic, it does not. The Order of the Knights Templar (aka "the Temple") is mainly responsible for the wealth that empowered and sustained the Roman Church and allowed the Ten Toes of the Roman Empire to maintain global rule as Prophet Daniel foretold. When they were no longer of use to House Merovingian, they expelled them into the Heath. At the time, Scotland was considered the backwaters of Europe. The Merovingian-controlled Vatican then confiscated most of the Templar's wealth and banking abilities and controlled Europe. The Roman Empire still ruled. The stolen Templar-created wealth - since then held in the Vatican vaults - will enable the False Prophet to fulfill his prophesied role. And according to some of the Dark Prophecies, it will be the Knights Templar who will, in the end, stand and destroy the Great Whore of Babylon. We previously mentioned how three European Houses would rebel against Rex Mundi; this could be part of that process. Unfortunately, we lack solid evidence to support this thesis. According to this view, however, the Knights always walk a razor-thin line between devotion and heresy. For this reason, the following is essential to understand if things work out this way.

In this study, we focus almost exclusively on the biblical prophecies; however, we should not underestimate the vital role played by the Knights Templar to date nor underestimate the role they may play in our near future!

In 1306, King Philippe IV of France (Philippe le Bel) set out to destroy the Order of the Knights Templar. For many reasons, he wanted to destroy the Order that had once been honored throughout Roman Christendom, but for now, it's enough to acknowledge his hatred of the Order.

King Philippe was a power-hungry man who was deep in debt to the Order and could not pay his bills. The Knights, who controlled the wealth of Europa, were not to be trifled with. For the Knights Templar, honor was everything; all debts were considered debts of honor. Failure to pay and hence maintain one's honor had fearsome consequences.

Here's how it started: Once, while fleeing a Paris mob, Philippe had to seek shelter from the Order. Having to seek their protection felt like a humiliation to him. Rather than being grateful for their help, Philippe's resentment toward the Knights grew.

Even though he was King of France and well on his way to becoming the most powerful ruler in all of Europe, the fact that King Philippe had no control over the Order's religious, political, and especially financial activities filled him with jealousy. It is also likely that they used this to their advantage in ways he resented. At the time (and still today, although not as directly), the Order's wealth far exceeded that of France and possibly all of Europe combined. The Knights Templar was the only real continental banking institution, and the crowned heads of the Roman-spawned European rulers were all indebted to them to varying degrees. Possessing the wealth of the occulted or hidden Roman Empire (i.e., the shadow government of the Merovingian Elite), the Knights Templar was the true power in Europe. However, the political thrones all served at the pleasure of House Merrovingian then as now, creating great friction. But the Holy Knights of the Temple bowed to no one, not even the Merovingian Nephilim! And their creepy skull worship terrified even Merovingians.

Like the Cathers and a few other ostracized Arian sects, "the Temple" maintained much of the original Way teachings for quite some time after Constantine's usurpation. We know they embraced Arianism (i.e., strict monotheism, rejecting the Catholic Trinity and claim of Yeshua's deity), maintained the biblical command to honor Shabbat, and so on. They also rejected the Vatican's claim that only its priests could grant forgiveness of sins and impart salvation. The Temple Knights typically viewed the Vatican at best with suspicion and worse contempt. The Roman Bishops knew this but, for many years, were powerless to oppose them due to their vast wealth and belief in their mystical powers.

By this point in history, the Nicean Church was mainly in control, other than in Muslim lands, but they were still working hard to root out what they considered heresies (including the "Judaizing" teachings of the Way sect in its various forms). The Knights of the Temple, reportedly working with underground Way sects as well as various Jewish and Muslim groups, were making the general acceptance of the Roman Church's authority and doctrines difficult. Because the religious piety of the Knights and their continuing devotion to biblical monotheism posed a severe threat to the Roman hierarchies, the Church officials decided the time had come: they had to destroy the Order of the Knights Templar .

Also significant is that King Philippe feared the Order might undermine or even directly challenge his plans to secure the Roman Papacy, something already extremely difficult for a Frenchman. While the Knights were no supporters of the Vatican, it does appear that they considered themselves members of Christendom's "loyal opposition" rather than enemies of the new religion. Their issues were with the Vatican hierarchy and its Nicolaitan dogmas, not with the Gospel of Yeshua.

King Philippe had Pope Boniface VIII murdered and Pope Benedict XI poisoned. Then, in 1305, he successfully had the archbishop of Bordeaux installed as Pope Clement V (Latin: Clemens Quintus; circa 1264 – April 20, 1314), born Raymond Bertrand de Got (also occasionally spelled de Guoth and de Goth), was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from June 5, 1305, to his death, in April 1314). His Papal legacy is mostly the cruel suppression of the Order of the Knights Templar and the wholesale execution of its members and their families. In this way, Philippe le Bel secured his de facto control over the Occult Roman world mysteries.

Friday the 13th

As with Globalist deposed President Donald J. Trump, seeking to quell likely support for the Knights among the common people, Philippe drew up a list of fraudulent charges against the Knights Templar. Many of these false allegations are still accepted as accurate today, even though few, if any, of them were. In this way, the king sought to turn the people against the Knights by propaganda and fake news. Utilizing his influence with Pope Clement V, at dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307 (Black Friday), Philippe ordered the arrest, torture, and execution of every Knight Templar in France for heresy and the confiscation of all Templar holdings. Some historians say Philippe believed the Knights had secured the Ark of the Covenant and hoped to use its power for his ascension to the Papal Throne. Although this move by Philippe le Bel appears to have been unanticipated by the Order, the Knights moved to Scotland, bringing most of their vast wealth with them on solid black ships that witnesses reported seeing in the moonlight passing along the European coastlines. Many fascinating stories connected to this event, such as the timing of their night-time departure on Friday the 13th and why they fled Jerusalem en masse in such a rush, are available.

Once in Scotland, the surviving Knights entered Freemasonry at Roslyn Chapel, abandoned what remained of their Torah compliance, and solidified their standing as an Occult Lodge. From appearances, the Knights embraced the Masonic Deist beliefs and became the secret 34th-degree of Masonry (a degree that supposedly does not exist). Others say the group maintained their devotion to the Way sect, continued serving HaShem through secreted instructions known only to them, and bidding their time until, at the End of Days, Mashiach ben David would activate them to assist in overturning the Babylon the Great system. Those who believe this often say that the Ark of the Covenant is in their possession and that protecting it is their primary duty. This claim has some support since we know the Knights initially went to and conquered Jerusalem looking for the Ark and then, supposedly upon finding it, abruptly abandoned the Holy City and fled to Scotland. This latter point may seem far-fetched, but it has been accepted by many as a fact for centuries.

Despite the claims of Chevalier Ramsey (January 09, 1686 - May 6, 1743), I am convinced that Freemasonry predates the "Splitting of the Elm" and the arrival of the Knights Templar in Scotland. The Masons intentionally clouded their history in myth and secret doctrine. Still, this brief introduction is called for because of the influence, for good and ill, played by both the Knights Templar and the Order of Freemasonry. As an aside, I date its origin to Ormus de Outremer (Ormus of Jerusalem), but this is a topic better suited elsewhere.

The outer form of Freemasonry recognizable today began at Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh. Sir William St. Clair (Sinclair), Orkney's last St. Clair Jarl (Earl), built the famed Chapel. He was a descendant of William de St. Clair, the last known Temple Grand Master of Scotland. As you may recall, William de St. Clair died while taking Robert de Bruce's heart on the last Christian Crusade to Jerusalem. During that crusade (if not before), St. Clair made contact with the Knights Templar. Evidence of a relationship between the Order and Robert de Bruce before his death seems solid enough to be accepted as fact. That connection was called upon as the Knights fled Europe.

For the next seven years, the Office of the Holy Inquisition devoted itself to destroying the Temple through arrests and murders. Due to lying propaganda, a wave of anti-Templar sentiment spread across Europe like wildfire. In 1312, the Pope officially dissolved the Order of the Temple (although it lives on within Freemasonry). In 1314, Jacques de Molay, the last known Grand Master of the Temple, was burnt at the stake by the Roman Church. His death gives evidence of his Way faith because as the flames consumed his mortal body, Jacques de Molay cried out in Hebrew:
"Vekam, Adonai!"
"Revenge, O Lord!"

The Nicolaitan Elite destroyed the most accurate information about the Temple Order. There is reason to believe that within the original Order of the Knights Templar, the Jewish Way sect not only survived the rise of the Vatican System but flourished for hundreds of years. If so, on Friday, the 13th, 1307, the last organized Way sect perished in flames. The shared social guilt of this evil lingers on today as paraskavedekatriaphobia and friggatriskaidekaphobia, the subconscious dread of Friday the 13th and the superstitions about the number 13. The destruction of the final sect shook the conscience of all godly people.

According to some researchers, the history and present activities of the Knights are different from what they appear! This possibility is one reason I am including this information here!

The Return of the Knights Templar?

While the Roman Catholic Church was and remained a powerful institution, it was never all-powerful as it pretended!

Three months after Jacques de Molay's martyrdom, Robert the Bruce fought the Battle of Bannockburn. The reason this is relevant is that in 1306 - a year before the persecution of the Templars began in earnest - Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland, was excommunicated by Pope Clement V in 1306 for violating the terms of his coronation by murdering his rival John Comyn. However, he was later reconciled with the Papacy in 1314, when Pope John XXII absolved him of excommunication and recognized him as King of Scotland. Why is this important to our study? As sovereign of his Scottish realm, de Bruce was not under Papal authority when the command to destroy the Order was given! This fact supports other reasonable evidence that many of the Knights of the Temple found a haven in his realms.

It seems inconceivable that the Holy Knights would have embraced Deism in their hearts or that they, as savvy as they were in worldly affairs, would have allowed themselves to be deceived by Merovingian misdirection. For these reasons, rumors remain that the Knights joined the Masonic Lodge for protection from the Papacy and to uncover the greater Merovingian Occult Nefilim Mysteries intended to destroy them from within, not to join them as devotees. This perspective holds that within their continuing highly secretive Order, the Knights Templar have secretly maintained their commitments as defenders of the original Way faith. Indeed, it is said by some that this is why a special Order was created within the Masonic System for them in the first place, lest they be soiled through deistic assimilation! This view holds that the Knights have always worked from inside the Masonic System to "hinder" the work of the Global Elite and further the plans of HaShem for its eventual demise (with arguable support from II Thessalonians 3:6).

Such hypotheses are cans of worms! On the one hand, what is known of the early Knights before their universal defamation by the Vatican is not harmonious with the Torah as understood by Yeshua and the original Way sect yet differed significantly from the Roman Nicean overlay of the Way. On the other hand, while there is evidence of social benevolence by the Masonic orders, there is also more concealed evidence of dark Baal cult connections, beliefs, and practices within Masonry. Believing that any righteous Order could exist in the upper echelons of Masonry defies credibility to those who know this ancient Nephilim-servicing cabal.

Arthur Pendragon

Some link the Knights Templar with the earlier Welsh Arthurian prophecies of the Once and Future King (i.e., Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther and his Court), whom they say will return and slay the Beast of Yochanan's Revelation. Those who believe this often describe a continuation of the mystical Knights of the Round Table and add the Knights Templar to their number, eternally defending the San Greal (Holy Blood of Yeshua) and awaiting the return of their king (Arthur), who was Yeshua. This view says that Arthur Pendragon will one day return as the true Messiah and King, which is why Joseph of Arimathea went to Scotland after Yeshua's execution with some of his blood, which was preserved and utilized in the experimentation and implementation of the San Greal as the new DNA Soma Homo Deus cocktail, the Mark of the Beast, as we have discussed.

Directly related to this is the belief that Yeshua's wife, Mary Magdelena, and his mother, Mary, accompanied Joseph to Scotland, but an unnatural storm shipwrecked them off the coast of France, where a group of monks took the two Marys into a Merovingian monastery. There, Illuminati scientists used them to breed the genetic line from which Rex Mundi would one day arise, as discussed before.

On the other hand, based in part on the epithet "Pendragon," others see Arthur as an anti-Christ figure, empowered by the Mer People and their god Dagon. This interpretation views the Arthurian Legends and Grail prophecies as metaphors for an assault on the coming true Messiah by the Nephilim. In defense of this view, consider the name Pendragon.

Arthur's father, Uther Pendragon, received the Welsh title Ythyr Ben Dragwn or Uthyr Pendragon, which literally means "Head Dragon" or "Head of the Dragon" but also looks similar to the Hebrew, "Son (ben) of the Dragon." According to Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae, Uther, father Arthur, saw a dragon-shaped comet streaking the sky. This comet arguably revealed to Uther the Nephilim's secret powers, the mixing of celestial and terrestrial bloodlines, and the potential power therein. Also, as the Scripture says: "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn [often translated as "Lucifer, son of the morning" or as "Venus" (Semiramis, the day star)]! How you have been cast down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!

As Shakespeare noted, there is more to the heavens and the earth than most assume! Are these only stories, or might they hold occult secrets of the coming planetary dictatorship? According to the Dark Prophecies and cabals, these are not merely stories. Until the coming of the true Mashiach and the imprinting of the Torah into our consciousness, we continue to seek clues wherever they may be, yet our knowledge remains incomplete.

The final moniker of the Whore of Babylon

THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH: We discussed the word "abomination" or tow'ebah before. According to the Tanach and other materials, Semiramis, in various guises, has been spreading wickedness and abominations since the beginning. She will be judged and punished! Understanding that all evils and abominations ultimately arise from human free will is vital. In reality, homo sapiens humanity brings all negative realities upon ourselves, and we have the power to stop them.
Revelation 17:6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the holy ones and the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

Remember that Yochanan lived and witnessed these things in the late first and very early second centuries CE as a Way sect Jew. He considered Yeshua to be his specially anointed rabbi, similar to the way we Breslovers view Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, as Nikolsburg Jews regard Shmuel Shmelke ha-Levi Horowitz (1726–1778), Chabad regards Menachem Mendel Schneerson (April 18, 1902-June 12, 1994) and so on. A great many Way sect Jews died as martyrs because of their emunah or faith in Yeshua's proposed Jewish reforms, but there was no Christian religion as we understand the term yet. That was yet 125 years or more in his future. In context, "the holy ones" were his people, the Jews, including the Way sect followers or Yochanan's rabbi.

Yochanan directly experienced his people's seeming defeat, yet he had emunah or faith that God would rescue the people in the end, as the prophets assured. As he wrote, the Way was still a tiny persecuted sect of Judaism rejected by both the rabbis and the Pagans. What Yochanan describes in this book is the global ascendancy of evil and the utter betrayal of Judaism, including the Way sect he had committed his life to since meeting Yeshua as a young boy. This had to have been dreadfully painful for him to grasp. Yochanan must have remembered the early years with his rabbi and friends so fondly, and now he wept bitterly about the future.
Revelation 10:10 I took the little book [i.e., the knowledge gained through his vision] out of the angel's hand and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
10:11 They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."

The conclusion of the Olam Hazeh, the present age, will be glorious - the coming of HaMashiach, the rebuilding of the Temple, the Olam Haba, world peace, planetary love of the one God, and so on, but getting to that point will be very bitter.
17:7 The angel asked me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

One of the things that makes the biblical prophecies superior to those of Nostradamus and others is that they often disclose their interpretations. If we can resist the urge to apply private interpretations, the correct meanings are usually in the texts of the prophets. Here is a direct example.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to enter utter destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they see that the Beast was, and is not, and shall yet be present.

If one takes this verse out of context, it could mean almost anything, but there is only one logical interpretation in context.

This can only refer to the rise, assassination, resurrection, and final defeat of Rex Mundi. The Son of Perdition will be the assumed "Golden One" and heir to the Throne of Sol Invictus, the Roman Sun God worshiped by Constantine until the day he died, who is, by metaphor if not actuality, Nimrod of Babel and our constant enemy Amalek. Babylon the Great and her False Prophet leader will be working to spread the faith of Rex Mundi, King Nimrod, and Queen Semiramis as what we now see being established, the Great Reset to Paganism.
17:9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

Here is the mind that has wisdom: Recall that this was said about understanding the number of the name of the Beast in Revelation 13:18 as well.

The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits: Rome has always been known as the City of Seven Hills. It can be none other. The best of the Tower of Babel is the beast of the four global powers, the final being the Roman Empire.

Romulus and Remus

According to legend, in 753 B.C.E., Rome was founded on one of the Seven Sacred Hills of the Pagans, Palatine Hill. Here's the story of Rome in brief:
King Numitor, ruler of the Italian city/state Alba Longa, was deposed by his brother Amulius. Rhea Silvia was Numitor's daughter. After deposing her father, Amulius consecrated Rhea as a Vestal Virgin or a priestess of goddess Vesta, and Rhea was forbidden to marry (as with the Nicolaitan celibate Orders to this day).

However, Mars, the god of War, came to Rhea Silvia in her temple and impregnated her. Virgin birth stories are common in many Pagan traditions. In time, Rhea conceived and delivered two sons: Romulus and Remus. It is obvious how the story of Romulus and Remus blended into the Nicean recasting of Yeshua and John the Baptist, but that's a topic for another time and place.

As soon as the two sons were born, Mars took them and abandoned them on the banks of the River Tiber to die [reminescent of Moshe], an all too common form of abortion/infanticide in those days - and still in our times, except that now the babies are left to die in the back rooms of hospitals and abortion centers instead of river banks and forests.

An Example: Abandoned Abortion Survivor Gianna Jessen:

But the destiny of these boys far exceeded those of similar abandoned children like Gianna Jessen in the video above. Other gods (probably including Sol Invictus) took compassion and sent a she-wolf and a woodpecker (two sacred creatures to the god Mars) to care for Romulus and Remus.

The she-wolf ("Lupus") took the boys into her cave and nursed them. In time, a shepherd named Faustulus found the boys and brought them to his home, where he and his wife, Acca Larentia, raised them as their own.

When Romulus and Remus grew up, they killed Amulius and reinstated their grandfather Numitor as King of Alba Longa. They then decided to build a new city at the site where Lupus the wolf had rescued them.

As Romulus was building the new city's walls on the Palatine Hill, his brother Remus mocked him, saying the walls were too low. To demonstrate this, he leaped over them sarcastically. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. Romulus continued building the new city, naming it Roma (Rome) after himself.

This city, built on the botched abortion of miraculously conceived twins by a pagan god and the murder of the founder's brother in anger, eventually became the fourth of four kingdoms that would rule the earth: The Roman Empire.

As the prophets foretold, in our times, the Roman Empire has been reunited across Europe as the European Union. The EU is forming the Global Union over which Rex Mundi will rule. Babylonian Paganism will be the official religion of the restored Roman Empire, and the False Prophet will serve him to the detriment of us all.

We now continue with our text:
17:10 There are seven kings. Five have fallen; one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue for a little while.
17:11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself the eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
17:12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom yet but receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
17:13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
17:14 These will war against the arnion [the "little lambs:" all those remain loyal to HaShem and His Toah] but the arnion will overcome them, for [Hoti: because] the Lord of lords and King of kings is with them, therefore, they will overcome who are with Him [Hashem]; they are chosen and faithful."

Let's unpack this: Rome and Vatican City will be the headquarters of Babylon the Great. Through the authority of the restored Roman Empire and its religious influence, Nimrod's Babel will and is rising again.

It appears that the Pope at that time will most likely be the False Prophet to the Rex Mundi. As discussed previously, some commentators expect the False Prophet to be a woman; this is unlikely but plausible. If a female pope is selected, it should be taken as a clear warning supporting that interpretation. Some things we can see clearly, others we can not.

These ten horns are ten kings: These are the rulers of the European Union as they enter into the Seven Year Tribulation period. As with the Jewish minion, which represents all of our people, the number ten identifies the complete group, not necessarily, specifically, the literal numbers. Currently, 27 countries comprise the EU. These are the inheritors of the "ten toes" described by Daniel, as we will see in my commentaries on that book.

The Seven Hills represent the city and authority of Rome, including the world's smallest city-state, Vatican City. The seven animalistic horns or powers are seven Merovingian Kings who will rule the earth during the End of Days through the revised Nephilim-Babel-Roman Empire. These New World Order leaders will rule the earth with Rex Mundi for seven years. Most commentators conclude, due to the emphasis on these seven years as 2520 days, divided into two sets of three and a half years, and as a 'time, times, and a half a time,' that there will be a literal seven-year conclusion of the Olam Hazeh, but this could be our misunderstanding as interpreters, even though it seems clear. When this period will begin is not precisely established in stone. But, these Merovingian Nephilim will rule in complete agreement with the Rex Mundi because, having received his Mark, their consciousness will have been absorbed through his will and DNA code, plus, their power descends from the same ancient sources back to Nimrod and Semiramis. We discussed this aspect of the Mark in chapter 13. These UN dictators will be of "one mind" with the Beast, like everyone who accepts his RNA to DNA recoding and survive the process of becoming homo diablos. Those under their authority will be forced into absolute submission, but most transfected will go willingly.

These arnion or "little lambs" will war against the Nephilim Globalists and eventually overcome them by the authority of HaShem and His chosen Mashiach. As discussed before, these arnion, like "little lambs," signifies the sacrificial Jewish people, the suffering servants of HaShem and all those standing with us from among the great multitude of Gentiles. Mashiach ben David will be the epitome of all such servants when he comes, and, therefore, in this context, can accurately be referred to as "the Lamb," even as the physical and spiritual descendants of Ya'akov are known collectively as Israel. Certainly, Yochanan sincerely hoped that his teacher and mentor, Yeshua ben Miriam, would somehow be the Mashiach even though he was dead. The historic Yeshua ben Miriam is undoubtedly the most maligned and misrepresented Jew in history. Alas, he did not meet the biblical Messianic requirements. The coming Mashiach will prevail against Rex Mundi and establish the Global Theocracy with Jerusalem as its capital, never again to fall. May that day come soon!

They also will overcome who are with him; they are called, chosen, and faithful. The standard understanding of the final seven years is that evil will run amok until Mashiach ben David comes and single-handedly sets things right. However, as a first-century Jew, Yochanan understood that throughout the seven final years of the Age, Mashiach ben Yosef would lead his forces as a general. He and his faithful warriors will overcome the old and establish the New Earth together, beginning the Land God gave us as our eternal birthright. It's important to understand that as we go into these terrible experiences, all who "overcome" will unlock their true potential as sons and daughters of God, not only ben Yosef and ben David! Like it or not, if you choose to stand with the God of the Bible, you have been drafted! The time for fence-sitting is over.
Psalm 82

82:1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly.

He judges among the gods [or accepted powers].

82:2 "How long will you judge unjustly,

and show partiality to the wicked?"

82:3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.

Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

82:4 Rescue the weak and needy.

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

82:5 They don't know, neither do they understand.

They walk back and forth in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

82:6 I said, "You are gods,"

"All of you are the offspring of the Most High.

82:7 Nevertheless you shall die like men,

and fall like mortal officials."

82:8 Arise, God, judge the earth,

for you will inherit all of the nations.

The Great Reset to Paganism promises to make us gods like Lucifer offered Adam and Chava in the Garden, but we are already so much more than that! Their alleged promotions resulted in our collective demotions. Our elevation as HaShem's servants will result in world peace and joy.

Understand this well: We are already the Sons and Daughters of the Most High! He implores us to awaken to our true potential and take our seats at His right hand! How foolish humanity is to decline such an invitation! HaShem offers us the real thing, while the Globalist Nephilim can only offer short-term counterfeits that eventually destroy us!

"Arise, God, judge the earth,
for you WILL inherit all of the nations
17:15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

Babylon the Great's influence and control will be planetary. Please do not make the mistake of thinking these events won't affect your corner of the world; they will! Whether this power structure is installed in Rome, Vatican City, Heigue, or wherever the Globalists decide, it IS now arising and will succeed, at least until God Himself ends it.

The Fall of Babylon
17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked [exposed for what she truly is], and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17:17 For God has put into their minds to do what He desires; they will agree and give their kingdoms to the Beast until the prophecies of God are accomplished.
17:18 The woman you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."

No one is loyal and faithful to a whore! Because she is loyal and faithful to no one.

Rex Mundi will use Babylon the Great to rally the world around himself and his Globalist vision, but once he is successful, he will no longer need her services! He will turn on her furiously with charges of adultery, treason, hypocrisy, and sedition and will utterly eradicate her!

Rex Mundi will shatter faith in the New Babel Religion, and those still alive who have "drunk the Nephilim 'Kool-aid' will be his dark slaves, without hope or meaning in the world. They will be in Hitler's dystopia of a boot stomping in the face of the earth and its inhabitants. But the Children of Light will rejoice! With the destruction of organized religion, everyone's choice becomes clear, and they will choose HaShem's Light or Amalek's darkness.

In the next chapter (18), we will see the destruction of the Great Whore as HaShem leads Rex Mundi as though by a nose-ring into turning against "Laodecian religion" by invoking his own greed and yetzer hara (negative inclination). HaShem will have revenge for all the blood spilled by the false religions and medical atrocities Semiramis has committed throughout time, even as promised in Deuteronomy 32:35:
Vengeance and recompense are Mine!
Their feet will slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand.
The things to come [at the end of the age] hurry upon them.'

REJECT THE MARK OF THE BEAST NO MATTER WHAT!

Here ends Chapter 17.
