Podcasts about great harlot

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: NOV 18, 2017The longest prophecy in the NT is Revelation chapters 17-18. This prophecy has also received the most wide-spread commentary and analysis than any other. Opinions vary as to the identification of the Great Harlot and the meaning of the beast she rides but one thing is clear: the Scriptures present this prophecy within a context of a literal city.Is this city Rome, Babylon, Jerusalem, or perhaps New York City? There are arguments for each. However, one candidate for this city of the whore that makes drunk the Kings of the earth is receiving renewed attention. That city is Mecca within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Can it be that Mystery Babylon has arisen on the world stage in our time in the form of Islam and specifically the form of Islam originating from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia known as Wahhabism, also known as Salafism?Stay tuned for my conversation with author, researcher, and prophecy expert Joel Richardson in this episode of SER.

This Sunday let's uncover what the great harlot represents in Revelation 17, discern the meaning of the vivid imagery of this chapter and learn how this vision serves as both a warning and a call to faithfulness.

A new MP3 sermon from Calvin Orthodox Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Great Harlot Speaker: Michael L. Babcock Broadcaster: Calvin Orthodox Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 1/12/2025 Bible: Revelation 17:1-6 Length: 40 min.

In this sermon, we dive into Revelation 19, where the destruction of the "Great Harlot" marks a victory over evil and ushers in the ultimate celebration in heaven—the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb." Communion not only points us back to the Cross but also forward to this glorious event when Jesus will drink of the vine with us in His kingdom. Don't miss this powerful message of hope, redemption, and anticipation of eternity!

Turning Tables Here in Egyptalon, it's a language issue. The Hebrew language. One day, the tables will turn: “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the LORD and serve him with one accord.” (Zephaniah 3:9) This echoes the three principles of the fall moedim, which are a step of sorting the sealed righteous from the intermediates from the wicked. Prayer to purify, repentance to seal, charity to the suffering to prove the heart change and willingness to serve the Kingdom. The first principle, prayer, is a practice of purifying the speech, measuring one's own prayer against the standard of the Word. Those sealed with the Name of YHVH are one as He is One. They do not bear the many names of individual idols, but they are a unified, accurate reflection of His image as a nation apart. In a sense, because we tend to impose our face over the face of Elohim (“no other gods in front of me”), the world sees a distorted representation of His Name in us, especially when we assemble all our individual gods that we sometimes choose to place before obedience to YHVH. Too often, we are not a representation of Him, but of our mixed obedience and unreliable loyalty to His Oneness. In that sense, it is also a hearing issue: “Hear, O Israel, YHVH our Elohim, YHVH is One.” At the end of days, “The LORD shall be King over all the world, on that day the LORD will be One and His Name one.” (Ze 14:9) There will be no misrepresentation of the Holy Name in that day. Because the names, or reputations of people will reflect the holiness of the Word, His true reputation will be known by all the living. The blasphemous names of the Great Harlot in Revelation may be a reference to traditional thought about how even in slavery in Egypt, Israel maintained a vital connection to the Promise of the Fathers: their names in exile. The Israelites' Hebrew names, uncorrupted with Egyptian names, set them apart, even the tribes of Joseph, Ephraim and Menashe. They retained a “pure speech,” Hebrew, even though many among them descended into idolatry.  They were still a nation apart because of their literal names, but a name is also reputation. Their sexual purity retained the identity of the nation through the generations. Only when the greater part of the nation maintained sexual morality could they retain their identity with their family, clan, tribe, and nation. These two identifiers, speech and sexual morality, set them apart in Egypt. James, who addresses the “twelve tribes scattered abroad” places emphasis on Godly speech in order to keep one's Bridal garments unstained, the Bridal Bridle: “If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” (Ja 1:25-27) James emphasizes three aspects of the bridal garments as the three pillars of the fall moedim: Controlling the tongue by keeping the waters pure, also a prayer practice Exercising practical holiness by alleviating the suffering of those in distress, charity Sealing the fountain with repentance, which aids #1 by not allowing new pollutants to fall in. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,

No matter your political affiliation, there are disturbing occult details about Kamala Devi Harris - and it has nothing to do with her or her policies. Kamala means “pale red” in Sanskrit and Devi means “goddess” of destruction. This makes Kamala the red goddess of destruction, otherwise known as Lilith or Lamashtu, who in her main incarnation is a Queen of Night and aborter of children and the tempter. She wears a rainbow around her neck and her followers abandon their biological gender. Kamala's number one issue is abortion and she is an enormous promoter of the rainbow ideology. A search for the Whore of Babylon (Great Prostitute) bible verse on some search engines strangely brings up a New York Times article about Kamala Harris and her abortion stance. Remember also that Kamala reportedly only moved up the political ladder, receiving two appointments, for having an affair with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown while he was married. This alone tarnished her image and made her out to be a political whore. Not to mention the Great Harlot goes by another name - the Scarlet Woman. An anagram of Kamala's full name reads “Aarika Devil Harms,” the first word actually being Sanskrit for “beautiful” - the Beautiful Devil Harms, certainly another reference to the Great seductive Prostitute. The other Adversarial Hakim, meaning Shatan Wise Man. In Hindu mythology, Devi accompanies Shiva in the doomsday tandava (dance). In the performance these two characters conquer an elephant (Republican) monster who is forced to dance until death. Shiva, and Devi, then wrap themselves in the blood and flesh of the elephant and finish the dance - in laughter. In 2020 when Kamala became Vice President, the Democrat National Convention changed their logo so the star pointed to the east. Interestingly, the spirt of the east is named ORIENS, as in Orient (Biden's deals with China), who rides a donkey (Democrat) in a performance (2020 Convention) followed by a woman (Kamala). This demon, when called forth, heralds the destruction of the western world. ORIENS is often linked to the fallen angel Samael, and controls vast hoards of other demons that can be called to service. Samael is the seducer, destroyer, and accuser. Kamala is furthermore a name of one of the Pleiades, which are universally associated with destructive floods and the destruction of the entire world - also, they are linked to sacred dances like those of Shiva and Devi. What all this means is open to interpretation, but it seems to be another example of using subtle references to certain occult themes in order to draw on otherworldly forces for power in this world. It is the hidden hand controlling human affairs. Kamala, if anything, is a vessel for this spirit of destruction just as witches are vessels for the Green Man or Moon spirit, Christians for the Holy Ghost, or Oracles for the gods to speak from. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Did you know that discerning the Great Prostitute of Revelation 17-18 is perhaps more important for the church today than understanding the Beast and the Mark of the Beast?

John's use of women: misogyny/patriarchy? Revelation also portrays the people of God as the Bride Revelation's imagery is not meant to suppose that Babylon is actually a female prostitute John's choice to depict Babylon as a prostitute must be viewed against the imperial portrait of the goddess Roma Must be read in light of the biblical depiction of Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly in Proverbs 1-9  The Greek word for “city” was a feminine noun that required a feminine pronoun John was not writing from a position of power. He does not have the power to exclude or silence Jezebel The imagery of making naked, devouring flesh, and burning with fire are all associated with siege warfare

If we believe the civic process is THE answer for our future, we might want to think twice when the coming Harlot Babylon soon begins presenting humanity with all the 21st—century essentials of the good life. What began as a lame, man-made tower in ancient Mesopotamia, will end as the most shocking expression of man's brazen desire to build a religious and social utopia.Subscribe to the Podcasts so you don't miss a new episode.

Fall Of Babylon  (audio) David Eells - 8/30/23  Babylon Dragon Falling  Alenna Timoshchuk 8/25/23 (David's notes in red)  I was in my backyard standing on my pool deck and looked into my pool. There was a massive log from a tree in the water that stretched across the whole length of my pool. (Babylon's fall is over the pool of God's word that judges them. God judged Babylon and it fell because of how they treated the saints. Just like our factious satanists, who are a part of it, will fall and be destroyed.)   In shock I looked up, and behind my pool deck was a massive tree stump. The width of the stump was also the length of my pool, and I knew that it used to be a very tall tree. (In Daniel the stump didn't fall but was preserved as a symbol for 7 years as a beast eating grass, representing the flesh of the saints.) I thought, it's just not possible for this tree to fall like that and not crush our home in its fall, but I knew God protected us. Then my heart was filled with the fear of the Lord, and I opened my eyes. (True, Father will protect his saints and set them free from Babylonish, satanic bondage.) End of vision/dream. (In Daniel the tree was the leadership of Babylon, which fell when it was cut down for its pride. It is satan, the dragon of Rev 12 with his satanist demons even in the local coven, which is falling from heavenly dominion, cast down by the saints in Rev 12.)   This vision reminded me of a dream I had when I was nine or ten years old.  I dreamt I was in my mom's kitchen. I was looking out the window, and the sky was a very dark grey with large dark grey clouds. (Dark grey represents death.) I saw sheep, covered in blood, raining from the sky. (The falling away are losing their place in heaven because they are guilty of blood of the saints.) They were upside down (They are backwards to everything Christian.) and falling to the ground. Then I saw the tallest tree I'd ever seen, and it was leaning over almost touching the ground, and I exclaimed, “Mom! The tree is falling!” (Babylon the dragon who would devour the Man-child and Bride will fall instead.)  End of dream.      Judgement on the Anarchist Left  Winnie Osegueda 11/17/21 (David's notes in red)  (The Anarchist Left plan on destroying much in defense of the Left who are losing power. They don't care that it will be according to law and truth for they never care about such things. The Alliance forces are planning to bring them down.) After 11pm on the evening of the 16th, I was reading Ezekiel 32 for the morning prayer meeting, and I specifically received: Eze 32:12-16 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nought the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 14 Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah.   15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah. 16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord Jehovah.  (Many agree that Egypt is a type of the world.) I asked the Lord for a dream regarding this and I went to sleep and had the following dream.   I dreamt that I was at my aunt's apartment in New York, which is right across the hall of my mom's apartment, and there were two tabby cats there. One was a fluffy white and light gray striped tabby cat, and the other was an orange and white striped tabby cat. My mom (Representing the apostate Church) had so many cats and she needed help to get rid of some of them. (Cats represent independent and self-willed natures.) I pleaded with Chuc for him to allow me to take one of these cats back home and he said that he would need a shovel and so my mom gave him a large shovel. My aunt wanted to remain with the orange and white tabby cat so I decided that I would take the white and gray one back home with us and we did.  (Take no cats from apostate Christianity) My aunt was preparing for her death and told me to come get from her place anything I wanted to have or needed. (In real life the doctors have given her the bad report and said they would not be able to operate on her, as her veins in her hands were breaking, and that she should spend time with her family as they do not believe she has much longer to live, however I am believing differently for her. She does not know the Lord yet, but she will.)   The scene changed and I was watching a YouTube video on my phone of this young Christian woman named Jenice, whose videos I watch sometimes, sharing a testimony. The visuals on her video were so beautiful and realistic, that it almost felt like I was in the video watching in real time. (The name Jenice means God is gracious.) I saw scenes of a beautiful mountain and lake, as well as a dock to jump into the lake in some of the scenes. Over some of the visuals, there was pink coloring and sketching, as well as a white outline that digital artists and designers call a "stroke." The video was very unique and creative and something I had not seen before.   Jenice began to share the testimony of another girl who treated her unkindly, and instead of returning evil for evil, she had a lot of grace towards the girl who mistreated her. (Cats are famous for anarchy and anarchists especially don't like Christians.) When she was sharing this part of her testimony, I could see a desk and a notebook in a classroom setting, and it was so close, it was almost like I was sitting there. The notebook had writing that I do not recall, but perhaps it was regarding this testimony Jenice was sharing, and I vaguely remember the word "grace" being on the notebook. I remember thinking her testimony was amazing, worded beautifully, and full of wisdom, so I took heed.  (True Christians give grace to rebels but the Media-Persians who conquer these Babylonians will bring justice.) Jenice knew that God is the one who takes care of everything, so there is no need to return evil for evil and she then said, "Look what happened to Minnesota," regarding the judgment that had come there because of people like the young woman who mistreated her. When she said this, I saw a visual of a cup falling over and spilling from right to left. The cup had kind of the shape of a bottle you might use to mix different liquids or chemicals in chemistry class. Then in the video Jenice mentioned helping others and cats by rehoming the cats, and it made me think of the cat that I brought home from my mom's house, and I felt that is what I needed to do as well. I really wanted to help my mom, but I realized I cannot keep the cat myself. (We need none of the rebellion in the apostate Church.)  And then I woke up. Regarding my mom and the cats, I thought of the verse Gal 6:1 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.  When I woke up, I wondered why would judgement come upon Minnesota, as it is such a random state and not one of the "sin cities," however when I looked up Minnesota news, I saw, and then remembered, that Minneapolis, MN is the epicenter and catalyst of the major BLM movement that happened in 2020 after the George Floyd incident. I believe they represent the far left who have caused so much damage with their rioting and faction and just plain wickedness, which the Communist left used for their political gain. (Satanists and communists are always anarchists and will do their best to stop this revival in government and Church but they will fall.)  I believe it is just a representation of the judgement coming to them and not necessarily about Minnesota itself, although it could be that as well. There was an instance where a wall that had a George Floyd mural was destroyed by lightning, so it was very clear that God is not pleased with this. I asked the Lord for a chapter regarding this dream and received: Psa 1:1-6 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: 2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. If we do not want to be judged with Egypt and the wicked, we cannot partake in any of their ways.       America Shaking Coming  Prophet Ken Dewey 8/22/23 (David's notes in red)  (Missy: This reminds me of the Word given to Ken about DC shaking and that no one will come out from under the rubble that the Lord doesn't want in the new government. I believe, if I'm correct, this also parallels with the faction against our ministry being judged.)  (This was an interpretation of tongues)  “I AM moving them around and they will not be able to tell what they are doing, nor will they fully understand until they open their eyes only to see they fell down and have lost their positions. Don't you know that they do not know even now which road to take, for they are truly confused as to what step to take next? I AM walking through them and they cannot stand.”  “Their stupidity has gone to seed and they walk as dead men walking, nor do they know in which way to turn, for their intended confusion is now theirs. Watch them fall down hard. Hitherto I have led them, even in the darkness where they think they are masters in walking. I AM not blind at night, for I see the same in daytime and night. They cannot hide their sins from me, for I see them all.”  “I will pass over My People, and they will be safe, but those who are not mine they will be shown the harsh life they have so prescribed upon others. It will come back as a boomerang and hit them in the head. Watch them stumble and watch them fall.” (They will now reap what they have sown. All the curses they have sent will fall on them.) “The ground beneath many feet will be unstable and as you shake you will all strive for safety, but for many it will be too late for they have wasted their days and have not prepared for the immediate days following Me, I AM that I AM — and beside Me is no other.”  He said for me to add these Scriptures:  “And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. (Just as the factious satanist perverts have tried to do in our day.)  And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.” Genesis 19:9-11 (And as You Know Lot escaped and the perverts in Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. As the dragon falls so go the satanists.) I have written what I heard said, and I did obey. I was thinking about those in the Government of this land of America and heard the above words.      Death Angels- Stop Angels   Prophet Ken Dewey August 26, 2023 (David's notes in red)  I began to hear the following words a year ago, and this morning I heard The LORD speaking more about how He would bring a new day in this Nation of America.  He has said that much will change, and there will be a very hard time coming, but The LORD will bring America [in part] to a new beginning. (The fall of the Babylonish Lawless Dragon and Rise of the new order.) A new day in this Nation of America. He was not talking about the Second Coming of Christ, nor was he talking about the Tribulation days coming or the coming of the Antichrist, nor was he talking about a Worldwide Judgment, but a coming judgment upon America. He was not talking about a catching away. What He was talking about was judging and changing this Nation, that a new day would come, a day of great light and blessing upon His People who Know Him. But the evil men will be stopped and many will even die. He talked about the present condition of the Government and evil men in America.  Here is what He said: “I AM in these coming days doing a Work that I must work before things happen in America. This one Work will cause many to fall down, out of the way, for the coming of a New Day in this Nation. The present will suddenly perish. One thing they cannot control is Death, for it walks this land and even as the firstborn in Egypt died, so will it happen again, (but not my first born) but all who have My Mark upon them, will suddenly fall down. I have been marking them who will fall — they have a evil mark and I put it there upon them. (The mark in the forehead and hand represent the mind and works of the flesh.) But My People have a good mark that I only can see, and the Angels. I will send My Ministers [Angels] with a destroying weapon in their hands and they will smite all who have the evil mark! I will pass over all who have My Good Mark upon them. (Representing the mind and works of Christ)  Some may say: ‘Death Angels', but what I say is: ‘Stop Angels', for it is mostly that I will suddenly stop them in their tracks and they will turn and run in fear of what they cannot see. Panic will break out, and great fear will grip their souls and cry they will, for they do see but do not see, understand but do not understand. They will only fear for fear does fear the unknown.  My People will only watch them fall all around them, watch them run away! (We had a dream just like this about the satanists who planned to sacrifice our sister in their perverted way.)  Shame them? Yes, I will cast great shame for what they do and plan to do, and They will dread the final end. They will shake in the knees and fear for what they will see.  Me? I will walk among them! I have hidden Myself in the clouds — but I will cause a great wind to blow away the clouds. Suddenly with their eyes they will see Me, the very one they thought did not exist. (Their lord satan will not save them.) Like a great wall of refreshing water will come across America and when it passes over all will be green and growing, and the desert will bloom and the vacant land will no longer be undesirable. (The water of the Word will be sent through the Man-child and Bride ministries bearing much fruit.) Many will rush to do great exploits for many that were not marked for Evil will see in New Light. Suddenly awakening, and they will see with new eyes. Hang on, the ride will be rough, but the way will be clear.  A time of Mourning. They will reap what they planned, for I AM tired of them planning to destroy My People and My Land.” (God will judge those who have persecuted His saints)  Scripture: He said, “Compare this event and liken it in part to Ezekiel 9. Go read that chapter to understand.”  I have posted this Word in Obedience to my LORD. It is His Word, and I only the Prophet to speak it and to write it down.      The Wicked Are Slain Ezekiel 9:1-11 Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.” And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar. Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his side; and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”  (The righteous are grieved at the evil) To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark (Passover of God's righteous); and begin at My sanctuary.” So, they began with the elders who were before the temple. Then He said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.  So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?” (Apostate leadership of the people) Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!' 10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.”  Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, “I have done as You commanded me.”      Keep Your Eyes On The Prize  Dana Coverstone 7/21/23 (David's notes in red)    https://www.youtube.com/live/6h78Q6hNbqA?feature=share  This dream began with me standing on a very quiet corner in a large city with a Jumbotron-type monitor. So, think Times Square in New York, on the monitor streaming the news, and the latest stock numbers on the side of a downtown building.  It was very early in the morning, and the sun was up. The sun was out with no clouds, and there were a few people out walking, but they were all holding umbrellas even though it was a full sunny day. It was nice weather, and everybody had an umbrella out. (The umbrellas could represent man's means to hide themselves from the sun/Son.)  Now just behind me was a city newspaper stand. When I say a city newspaper stand, think New York City or Chicago with the wooden doors that open where they sell newspapers and magazines on racks and all the sundries. They were selling candy and cigarettes, gum and mints and things like that. And then, the owner walked out toward the edge of the road, and he stood beside the side of the road. And that's also where I was standing, by the road, just watching, and he came and stood beside me.  He was also carrying an umbrella, and it was open as if it was raining. So, he has the umbrella beside him and it's early in the morning. (Early morning could represent the timing where we are now, “early on the morning of the third Day”.)   He was standing beside me on the edge of the road, and he said to me, "Can you believe how bad the world is getting and how little the government is doing to fix it?" (The general population of the world relies on the government for everything and expects them to solve the problems, not knowing they are behind the causes, and the people are receiving a government they deserve.) And I simply said as I looked at him, "My faith is in the Lord." I spoke normally, just very casually and with no emphasis, just, "My faith is in the Lord."  And then he got in front of me and held the umbrella cradled into his neck and he grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and he said, "Keep your eyes on what we tell you. No matter how bad it gets." (The dumbed down DS MSM manipulation and “Project Mockingbird” deception.)  And then he said, "And ask your Lord for better weather then because we're tired of the rain." And he peeked out from under the umbrella and looked up into the sky, and then took it back. (This could represent the judgments of God falling on the wicked for their works now reaping what they have sown.)  (Eze 38:22-23 And with pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. )  (Psa 11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.)  Okay, my first thought was, "It's not raining, why do you have the umbrella?" And he says, "You know, because they're tired of the rain." (Fitting in with the rest by complaining of the judgments so richly deserved.) At that moment, a box truck came around the corner and the guy ran over about ten feet from me and just a couple feet from the edge of the road to get it. And he stood right beside this big puddle. It was big, and it looked like a very wet puddle. And as the truck was moving around the corner, a side door opened, and a guy was standing there with a huge bundle that to me looked like a square hay bale at first. And if you ever grew up in the Midwest, you know what a square hay bale looks like. (Hay bales are a rectangle shape. Hay is dried grasses and other foliage representing flesh according to Peter's “All flesh is as grass” statement. This hay is for feeding the beasts. It looked like hay to him because they are feeding the masses what their flesh wants to hear.) Yeah, I moved plenty of those for my grandfather when I was a kid.  And he threw it in the air with great strength as the truck was moving. It seemed like he was struggling to get it there, but he threw it to the curb and it landed right in the middle of that big puddle.  And I realized then that this was a bundled stack of newspapers like they used to throw on the corner, and the newspaper guys would get them in their stands. And it landed in that big puddle, and it splashed the guy that was standing there with this red substance. It looked like blood. So the square hay bale of newspapers lands in this big puddle, and it just throws this red-colored substance everywhere.  (The MSM is guilty of blood for their coverups of the crimes against Americans and they will soon pay.) Now my shirt and pants became covered in this red substance, and I took out a handkerchief. Now, look folks, I have never used a handkerchief in my life, okay, so that stood out to me in the dream. But I took this handkerchief out, and I cleaned myself off. I even went over to this cement-based water fountain, and I got this handkerchief wet with water, and I'm wiping off my shirt. I'm leaving wet spots on me, as I'm wiping off this red substance that looks like blood because I felt I had to get it off me quickly. I guess what I thought was, I've got to get this stuff off me quickly before it stains.  (When we speak the truth we won't be guilty of blood.) And the newsstand guy walked right into the puddle; he just walked into it. So I saw it was deep, and it was big. He walked into the puddle, grabbed the bale and he headed for the newsstand. He walked back to the newsstand, about 20 feet, and he was dripping this red substance like a trail, okay? And when he gets back, he drops this big bundle of papers real heavy on the ground. He just throws it down violently, and all the wet stuff on it splashes onto his newspapers and his newsstand. It's just all over the place.  So, I walked over and asked if he knew what the red stuff was on the papers, and which was now also all over his other paper goods. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "What red stuff?"  (They do not take credit for passing on lies to their unwitting victims.) And I pointed to the papers and the magazines. And he said, "Sir, Are you okay?" "Or do you need some medical attention?" (Those who speak the truth are deemed conspiracy theorists who need medical attention.) And I said, "The puddle the newspapers landed in splashed a red substance all over me and all over you." And he stepped back, and he looked around. He said, "I don't see anything that looks red."  (The “news media” should be reporting of all the deaths and bloodshed their DS is guilty of, but instead they are guilty of blood. The MSM are “false prophets” and puppets used to deceive and say everything is a conspiracy to cover up their involvement. Do not feed your soul on their garbage or you will be polluted.)  He looked at me, and I could see he was thinking, and I explained that I had cleaned it off me, and I showed him the handkerchief that was now all splotchy red, covered with what had been on me. (We need to warn people as the Lord leads.)  (Eze 3:18-21 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.)  And he pointed his finger at me, just like he was looking down the barrel of his finger at me, and he said, "Head on down the road or else you're going to start scaring my customers away." (They don't want to hear the truth and they don't want you to share it.)  Well, by this time, I see that more people are walking by with umbrellas, and a few are picking up the paper goods and leaving money in a jar, and that jar is marked "The Declared Truth." (The MSM make known what they want people to perceive as truth according to their agenda and DS plans to depopulate the masses.) These people were also covered in the red substance and they were also all oblivious to that. (The vast majority of people are in darkness and have been “dumbed down” by the DS media.  They are in idolatry with the government and the false church leadership. The declass of the ten days is directed at these people which as we see many are not willing to accept truth.)  The newspaper guy approached me again to ask how I was, and I noticed a button that he was wearing on his shirt, and it said, "If we don't say it, it ain't true." I asked him what that meant, and he shrugged and said, "If you can't figure it out, you're worse off than I thought." (I.e., just go with the narrative we give you “as the truth”. Don't rebel against the media. And even the majority of Christianity is led by non-spirit filled leadership who do not exhort people to search out the Truth in the Bible for themselves.)  I then saw on the back of his shirt a message that was spelled out in the splash marks of that red substance, and it said, "Shallow state is my place." (This represents the shallow news that strains out a gnat and swallows a camel.) And then suddenly, there was gunfire in a car going down the road behind me, and there was shooting into the crowd. I noticed nobody moved any faster, and nobody even looked at it. If you can imagine just driving down the road and there's a shooting on the sidewalk and nobody notices, nobody cares, and nobody's worried or concerned, that's what this was like. (Dumbed down America doesn't want to hear anything disturbing against their illegal government. They are in denial of the spiritual death killing them.) Now there was a young guy on the ground close to me who was bleeding profusely, and I ran over to him and told him to lay still because he had been shot. And I went to grab my phone, but he said he was fine and would be late for a meeting, so he tried getting up, even though his leg was not working. Now the guy is covered in blood. He's got several bullet wounds, and it seems like he doesn't even know he's been shot. (He has been murdered by lies.) I tried to hold him down when another shot rang out and he took another round in his chest, and I said, "Lay down, lay down and I'll help you." But he just kept trying to get up, and finally, his body started to get really slow and weak, and he eventually dies right there while he was trying to get up. I laid him down, looked around, and I noticed that nobody was taking cover.  Now we live in a country today, where if there are gunshots, everybody turns their head, ducks down, and looks for a way to go and get out of the way. Nobody was moving in this dream. Even the newspaper guy, I saw he'd been shot too, and he was limping around the newsstand. He was applying pressure to a gunshot wound in his gut area, but he wasn't panicking, and he wasn't saying, "Hey, help me." He was just going about his life with no concern for the fact he'd been shot in the gut, which is not a good place to be shot. (They are dying a spiritual death just like the DS they unwittingly worship.) There were others on the ground dead too, but most of the people were just walking by and paying no attention to the hurt ones, and all the people walking by still had umbrellas out, but nobody was running or hiding.  And I began to pray out loud in tongues in the dream. I was watching people die. I was watching people bleeding, and nobody was concerned about what was happening, and it was hurtful. I was sobbing. I was weeping. I could feel the loss. It was a very empathetic dream, but nobody seemed to be taking anything seriously at all. They were just walking by the dead people. They took no cover from the gunman. (Who were the news media assassins.) Next, the Jumbotron started to count down, and at the bottom of that screen, it showed the stock market was tanking quickly, and on the screen there was a picture of the Bulls on Wall Street and a video of people nonchalantly breaking windows.  I mean with no concern, just tapping on the windows, breaking them, throwing chairs, showing no emotion, no looks on their faces as they were doing this. There were tall buildings, and then people were jumping out of those tall buildings. There were no screams or cries, no yelling. It was like there was no energy from these people at all. Others around them paid no attention as if it was not real or a joke.   And then I saw a news anchor, who was also covered in the red substance; she was in a newsroom, not out in the street. She was sharing some video footage of things happening around the area of people being shot, people jumping from windows, and all this, but as she spoke, she spoke in a very slow monotone. So, I will imitate what she did.  She said, "Yes, people are dying, but don't worry and don't hurry because we know it's going to be all right. Trust us because we know." She literally said this.  And with that, she gave this big "thumbs up," and then she winked so hard it was almost like she would be injured doing so. I mean, she really exaggerated her wink very graphically. (Meaning this is really a joke and far from the truth.)  And then I began looking around at people covered in the red substance, and they were everywhere. All of a sudden, the crowd around me on the streets of this big city, or town, they're everywhere. But nobody seemed to actually see the chaos. There were people lying down. There were people jumping out of windows, but you did not hear yelling or screaming, or crying. People are just going through the motions. They seem to purposely ignore it. (The Great Harlot of Babylon is guilty of the blood of the saints and mankind.)  (Eze 22:1-13 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 3 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her! 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.  5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one and full of tumult. 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood. … 9 Slanderous men (The factious satanists are famous for this.) have been in thee to shed blood; ...   11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. (Clearly the factious satanists perverted lusts) 12 In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; …  Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.)  And then a man walked up to me and asked if I was all right, and I turned to see it was the Man that I always see.  I didn't say anything; I just turned to him to look. And he said, "I see it all, and I know it all. But many in the church see as much as these that you see in the streets. Too many in the Body see nothing and they see that on purpose. I say to you to keep your eyes on the prize and be consistent in your discipline."  He continued, "They need to purchase salve for their eyes so they can see and once seeing, get busy serving me in public."  (Rev 3: 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:   18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.)  He continued, "The blind are leading the blind into the ditch and I cannot help them there, though I want to. See with my eyes all that needs to be seen and refuse to see what they want you to." He then walked away. (The apostate leaders are the hirelings, false teachers and prophets without the spiritual gifts, and discernment and are leading the many astray. Many are like the Church of Laodicea; they are lukewarm towards the Lord. God's people need to seek Him, seek righteousness and the Truth.)  (Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.)

And how can we prepare for this awful battle at the end of time?1. Around 95 AD, the clear and present challenge to the Christian faith is emperor worship. Domitian is the first emperor to demand it in his lifetime. The center of emperor worship was Asia Minor, esp. the province of Asia (where Ephesus is).2. Armageddon comes from the Hebrew har-Megiddo, hill/mountain of Megiddo, on the edge of the Valley of Jezreel.3. Revelation is a book rich with symbolism, including 100s of allusions to the Old Testament.4. The general environs of Megiddo was a frequent battleground. Here are 34:BC2350 Pepi I and the "Gazelle's Head" -- Jezreel Valley1479 Thutmose III v. Canaanites – Megiddo1430 Amenhotep II in the Valley -- Jezreel Valley1360-1350 Biridiya v. Labayu – Megiddo1125 Deborah & Barak v. Sisera -- Taanach & Mount Tabor1090 Gideon v. Midianites/Amalekites -- Hill of Moreh/Endor1016 Saul & Jonathan v.

Arabs -- Ramat David Airfield1973 Israelis v. Syrians -- Ramat David AirfieldComments on Rev 16Background: Plagues on Egypt (Exodus 6-13)The plagues are not fulfilled literally.Rome will fall and this is just: Invasions, plagues, corruption, ultimate demise.Not only to show she will fall, but to show that she has fallen….She is nothing but a cheap harlot (Rev 17).Metaphors involving sun, moon, and stars are common in apocalyptic literature.The God whom the Romans are defying is in control of the sun (not Apollo); he's in charge of the entire universe!Refusal to repent, refusal to admit God is right.Natural disastersEconomic slumpsInept and pleasure-seeking leadershipStupid laws and brutality in the governmentInvasionsAll warning signs ignored! (Are we paying attention to the "warning signs" in our own day?Eastern kings the threat to Rome – never subdued the Parthians.Dragon (ch 12) – Satan – the true power behind Rome.Don't be impressed by her power, or her false wonders.She is directly opposed to the Lord God Almighty!Rev 16:16 refers to Megiddo, where Sisera thrashed Jabin, Judges 4; and Necho slew Josiah, 2 Chron 35.Next chapter describes the Great Harlot, and in chapter 18-19 we read of her fall--the battle has in effect already taken place. Revelation is filled with different ways of describing God's ultimate defeat of Satan.This is speaking about Rome, yet the cosmic truths behind the description could just as well refer to any enemy of God. He's got no chance.There are many obstacles to taking the language of Revelation literally; I am afraid the preachers on pop religious radio are misleading many. The earliest recorded "battle of Armageddon" took place nearly 4400 years ago, and there have been dozens -- perhaps scores -- of battles in the region of Megiddo since that time. In other words, "Armageddon" is an image of warfare, for it reminds us of the battles waged from time immemorial.What would Revelation 16:16 conjure up in the mind of the reader/listener familiar with O.T. history?What does Gettysburg signify to an American? Normandy to a European? How about Waterloo? Focus on theology, not literal history. What is God trying to tell his people?Warfare--a showdown. The forces of good will ultimately triumph over the forces of evil, for Rome is not ultimately sovereign. Only Jesus Christ is the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords. ConclusionsThere will be no literal "Battle of Armageddon," radio preachers notwithstanding! Yet through the millennia, there have been numerous literal battles in the vicinity of Armageddon.It's an encouraging image, an apt picture of the cosmic battle between God and Satan, indeed! God's word assures us, in the book of Revelation, that ultimately he will vanquish every cause that sets itself up against him, his Son, and his kingdom. And in order to walk the walk of disciples, we need that assurance!If this is not a literal battle, there is no way to prepare for it physically. And yet both testaments urge us always to be ready to meet God. So rather than stockpiling water, canned goods, and ammunition -- as some survivalist groups practice -- it is the Lord's will that we heap up righteousness and good deeds, sharing what we have (not hoarding it) with as many as possible.Revelation 12:11 is in many ways the key to understanding the central message of the book of Revelation.Further study Remember that detailed chapter notes are available for every chapter in Revelation in the NT series.

Both the Bible and psychology agree: few things will affect your life as much as your environment. We become like the people we hang out with! Our environment creates our culture and tradition. Jesus said that culture and tradition are so powerful they can make the Word of God of no effect. There is a worldwide influence the Bible calls the Great Harlot that is reshaping all the customs, traditions, and norms of society. Little by little, we are morphing into people we would never choose to be. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we answer the question “Who Am I Becoming?” More importantly, by becoming aware of what's happening, you can stop this seductive force that is seeking to reshape every aspect of your life.

What does it mean to take communion with demons? The Great Harlot carries a communion cup full of blood. This blood intoxicates the leaders of the world. It seduces them into trading human life for the economy as a way of leading the population into compromising their morals and values for financial gain. It turns the inhabitants of the earth into fornicators with her wickedness. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore what it means to take communion with the harlot and how to avoid her deception. You don't have to be afraid to escape the global deception; you only need to be aware.

Can we get the mark of the beast without knowing it? No! But we can fall into the deception of the Great Harlot without realizing it. The Great Harlot is the deception behind ALL religions and all the secular governments of the world. The deception of the Harlot is so subtle and reasonable that the great majority of believers willingly participate in it. It is not an open attack on our faith but subtly turning our hearts away from God. This is not one of those messages that will fill you with fear; it will help you to understand what's really going on in the world and how you can prepare to escape the consequences of the Harlot's deception. Join me this week in CyberChurch for Fornicating with the Harlot. The eyes of your heart will begin to open immediately! Complete freedom will be something you can see and confidently expect.

So many people fear they may unknowingly accept the mark of the beast. That can't happen! The mark of the beast must be a deliberate choice to trust the beast for the protection and provision promised by God! But there is a precursor to the mark… the deception of the Great Harlot. The Great Harlot is a seductive, almost non-perceptible strategy to get the inhabitants of the earth to accept values, morals, and ethics that oppose God's Word. The harlot is deceiving most believers, and they don't realize it. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover the strategy of the harlot and how to free yourself from her deceptive, destructive life philosophies.
