Who Is The Woman on the Beast?

Q: Can you explain who the woman and beast are, and the meaning of Babylon, in the Revelation prophecy Chapter 17?

A: You refer to Rev. 17:3 KJV where the Holy Ghost, through John, writes:

I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

God first introduced her as the great whore (Rev. 17:1). She is characterized vividly in the Holy Bible using all capitals in Rev. 17:5 KJV;

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

All capital letters. Do you think the Spirit of the LORD, and His chosen translators, are trying to get our attention? Contemplate; this is His last message to us in the climactic book of the Holy Bible before He returns.

Who is Mystery, Babylon the Great?

The identity of the wicked woman is vital to us in these Last Days. She’s the kind of woman fathers warn their teenage sons about. Yet most Christians remain clueless who the “woman” is, and the danger “she” poses.

Who the woman on the scarlet beast is was a mystery when the vision was given to John, but has been made crystal clear since the sixteenth century Reformation.

Mystery Woman Revealed

There’s no need for guesswork, the Lord has revealed who she is; the word of God makes it plain by scripture, in the light of subsequent history, and through current events.

Here’s how Christ described the woman to the Apostle John. His angel said, Rev. 17:1 KJV;

I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

In the Spirit, John then saw a woman dressed in red and purple clothes, the main colours of Catholicism, sitting astride a scarlet beast covered in blasphemies. Rev. 17:4-5 KJV;

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.

The Bible also calls her the great city, Rev. 17:18;

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Protestant Reformers from; John Wycliffe, to Jan (John) Huss, Martin Luther, John Bradford, John Calvin, John Knox, and the man who translated your New Testament into English, William Tyndale, each unequivocally identified the woman on the beast with the city of Rome, meaning; Catholicism, and the Papacy, residing within Rome’s Vatican City.

The woman is the city of Rome, specifically Vatican City; and the scarlet beast is the spiritual and worldly empire it controls: The Roman Catholic church and Catholic believers in many nations.

The Scarlet Beast

The beast had seven heads and ten horns, representing successive rulers and authorities of the beast’s Roman empire: “Babylon”. Rev. 17:3.

“Babylon” is used as a pseudonym for Rome four times in Rev. 17 and 18, and the epithet was widely adopted by Christians following the bloodthirsty persecutions of Nero and Diocletian.

Roman Catholics claim the Apostle Peter stayed in Rome based on his use of the term “Babylon” in 1 Pe. 5:13; however there’s no scriptural evidence that Peter ever went to Rome at all.

He may have penned his epistle from what remained of the literal Babylon in Mesopotamia, or used the term meaning Roman conquered region, or Rome itself.

It is patently clear the scarlet beast represents the Roman Catholic church throughout the world, the Vatican’s Empire.

Catholics controlled by The Great Whore

Significantly, God also says the great whore sits upon many waters, and His angel explains the meaning of the “many waters” in Rev. 17:15 KJV:

The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

These are the billions of people down the ages in bondage to Catholicism, whether by coercion, tradition, or choice. God says the whore sits on them; that is, controls and dominates their lives.

1583 Foxe’s Martyrs: Was written, illustrated, and published by eyewitnesses. It contains first-hand accounts of the black-doings of popery, and the enormous price paid by our Christian brothers and sisters, who defied Satan and stood for Christ.

Who dictates how Catholics should worship, live, eat, and reproduce?

Their national government, or themselves perhaps?

No, the Vatican, through its pontificating infallible popes controls Catholics’ beliefs, and attempts to direct every detail of their lives using; fear, guilt, and the threat of excommunication and damnation.

City on Seven Mountains

God specifies that the woman is a city on seven mountains who rules over multitudes of peoples, and kings of the earth. Rev. 17:9,18 KJV;

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth… And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Jerusalem is built on seven mounts, as is Rio de Janeiro, and others, but none has ever possessed the dominant trans-national power that Rome and the Vatican have abused for centuries.

Rome was founded on the Palatine Hill (or mount); as it grew it spread to the other six hills of Rome; Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Viminal, and Quirinal. Rome is known the world over as the “City on Seven Hills”. Only the Roman Vatican City-State qualifies as the Great Whore of the Holy Bible.
