Oh, bullpuckey.
The Scripture itself tells you what the "Great City" is -- it's the city "allegorically called 'Sodom' and 'Egypt,' wherein their Lord was crucified".
That ain't Rome, pal. There's only one possible candidate.
The language of Rev 18 echoes that of Jeremiah 25. Compare them! Jeremiah 25 is clearly not talking about Rome.
Scarlet [is] the color of the Beast and the Harlot, and also of the Dragon [Rev. 12:3], [and] is the color of the Papacy."
The Pope's coat of arms have no scarlet in them; their colors are silver and gold.
The Cardinals hats and robes are scarlet.
The Jewish High Priest wore both scarlet and purple. Look it up.
WRONG !
I guess you INTENTIONALLY FORGOT ABOUT
:
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.
The beast that thou sawest was,and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,whose names were NOT written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,
when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Yet, you, deceived as you are, wrote:
You poor lost soul .
But let's continue.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind,and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:and they that are with him are called,
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,these shall hate the whore,and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will,and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,which reigneth OVER the kings of the earth.
Now WHAT
CHURCH has had other Churches come OUT of her ?
... 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.
WHAT CHURCH
KILLED many for worshipping on the SABBATH ("Judaizing") and NOT accepting their SUNDAY rule ?
Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day;and, if they can, resting then as Christians.
But if any shall be found to be judaizers,
Read Dr. Samuele Bacchiochi
"From Sabbath to Sunday", pages 173 through Page 238, or the whole book.
Then read about how long ago (
about 530 BCE) this was
prophesied :
" ... he shall speak great words AGAINST the most High,and shall wear out the saints of the most High,and think to CHANGE TIMES and LAWS ..."
But
"THE GREAT WHORE" IS mentioned in the Bible.
SATAN HIMSELF has mislead many, and will deceiveth the whole world.
My guess is that he will do it through that church,
or AS MANY CHURCHES AS HE CAN !
Everyone is responsible for their OWN ACTIONS, and will answer for them.
Was it
ME who
ENFORCED Canon 29 ?
Of course NOT !
WHY did our Heavenly Father
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST (John 1:2) KILL all those people and cities in the Old Testament ?
Was it NOT
because of
their religion that
they REFUSED to OBEY GOD and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS ?
What, then, do
you THINK ... that our Heavenly Father meant when He had
His messenger say:
" Come out of her, my people,that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you,
and double unto her doubleaccording to her works:in the cup which she hath filled
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her:for she saith in her heart,I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,death, and mourning, and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with firefor strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. "
Now as far as
"The Pope's coat of arms have no scarlet in them"
That's an intentional distortion of what was given in comment #5.
Search ANY encyclopedia ab out the Pope and Scarlet:
In the Roman Catholic Church,scarlet is the color worn by a cardinal, and is associated with the blood of Christ and the Christian martyrs, and with sacrifice.
Scarlet is also often associated with immorality and sin, particularly prostitution or adultery, largely because of a passage referring to "The Great Harlot", "dressed in purple and scarlet", in the Bible (Revelation 17:16).[8]
Over his cassock the Pope will wear a lace rochet. Over the rochet is worn the red Papal mozzetta, a shoulder cape that has a collar and is buttoned all the way down the front.
The red color is a vestige from the days when scarlet was the Papal color (white only became associated with the papacy after the Napoleonic wars).
The Papal mozzetta had a small hood on the back, which disappeared after Vatican II but has recently been restored. In wintertime, the Papal mozzetta is of red velvet trimmed with ermine (this also fell out of use after Vatican II, but Pope Benedict XVI began again to wear a winter mozzetta trimmed in ermine fur). In summer, the Papal mozzetta is of red satin.
You really should THINK ABOUT
these things ! The more people PROVE your
"wrongness", the more OTHER PEOPLE LEARN and are EXPOSED to the truth !
