The Great Whore is not Mystery Babylon, the mother of Harlots. Although there are similarities in that they both bring forth incredible deception, and spiritual wickedness, they are most definitely different. Mystery Babylon has given birth to the Great Whore.
The words Harlot and Whore are translated from the same Greek word and therefore have the same meaning. The phrase Mother of Harlots in Rev 17:5, is better translated as the Mother of the Whore.
The Great Deception, represents the Satanic deception, and immense wickedness in high places that the world has fallen prey to (Eph 6:11-18, Rev 17:2, Rev 18:3). The kings and peoples of the earth, that do not follow Yahweh, are involved in spiritual fornication. This idolatry includes worshipping, or serving many other gods, and lusts of the flesh.
Great Whore & Mystery Babylon Deception
Many have been deceived by the Great Whore, and her wicked ways (Col 3:1-7; 1 Cor 10:1-14).
Religions or belief systems that are not established, or based upon Yahweh’s Word, all represent the traditions of men and great deception. One of Satan’s primary objectives is to keep as many as possible away from the truth that Messiah the Savior is Yahweh who is manifest in the flesh (1 Cor 8:6).
The Great Whore has taken by force and stolen that which is not rightfully hers, believing she is invincible, but this will soon change (Deut 28:13, 15, 25, 28, 44, 48, 63).
Satan will expose and destroy the Great Whore by means of the seven kings who give their power unto him (Dan 7:24). With lying signs and wonders this imposter will convince much of the world that he is to be the object of their worship.
2 Thes 2:9-12 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahweh shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The commonality of religious teachings, is that the doctrines and teachings of men supersede the true message, which is the Good News of the Gospel of our Messiah.
Many attempt through various works to obtain righteousness. This is a feat that is impossible on our own. Through Messiah alone, are we made righteous, and it is His truth that truly sets us free (John 8:32; Rom 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24).
1 Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple Yahweh and that the Spirit of Yahweh dwelleth in you?
We can allow the Spirit of Yahweh to take up residence within us, and come out of darkness (John 12:46).
1 Cor 3:17 If any man defile the temple of Yahweh, him shall Yahweh destroy; for the temple of Yahweh is holy, which temple ye are.
We can also be deceived when the light we claim to hold onto, is actuality darkness (John 1:5; Luke 11:35).
2 Cor 11:3-4 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Messiah. For if he that cometh preaches another Messiah whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
To be in the light, involves a walk with Yahweh wherein we receive His Holy Spirit. It is through His Spirit that we can have the assurance of Salvation, and have His testimony written in our hearts and minds (Rev 6:9; 12:11; 12:17; Heb 10:16).
Without the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, deception is not only probable, it is inevitable (2 Tim 3:1-17; John 16:13; 2 Tim 1:7; 1 Pet 1:22; 1 John 3:24; 1 John 4:1-15).
The Great Whore is not Mystery Babylon. Although the Great Whore’s deception is intoxicating, it will pale in comparison to the deceit that her mother produces at the end of this age.
Mystery Babylon in a spiritual sense alludes to both the Beast and the false prophet. They will bring forth the greatest deceptions the world has ever seen, even surpassing those of the Great Whore (2 Thes 2:8-12; Rev 13:11-14).
Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect
The correct interpretation of Mark 13:22, is a false Messiah, and a false prophet shall rise. This verse is in reference to the last days, a time of great deception unlike any other.
The Great Whore & Mystery Babylon | Mother and Daughter
It is during this Great Tribulation, that has a duration of three and a half years, that a great battle will be waged for the eternal destiny of much of mankind.
Satan will introduce to the world his false messiah and false prophet of deception. This is a representation of the unholy trinity, Satan the Beast and the false prophet.
The Great Whore is not Mystery Babylon, but this Whore commits spiritual fornication with the kings of the earth
The Great Whore, has a satanic religious core at its roots, but its branches represent control of a vast financial, political and military empire.
Rev 17:2 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.
The kings of this world have definitely committed spiritual fornication with this Whore.
The Kings of the earth also will commit spiritual fornication with Mystery Babylon, the mother of the great Whore.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of Her Fornication. The idolatry that she produces is spiritually intoxicating to the point that her converts become drunk like. These are blind and deaf to the true gospel message of Yahweh. Their minds and consciences are seared, and they are full of self-righteousness and deceit. These will also drink or partake in the wrath of Yahweh as a result of their idolatry.
There is a significant difference between the wine of the Great Whore’s fornication and the wine of the Wrath of Mystery Babylon’s fornication.
Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
- The Great Whore is not Mystery Babylon, as one gives birth to the other.
- The Great Whore is destroyed by ten kings (Rev 17:16).
- Mystery Babylon is destroyed by Yahweh Himself (Rev 18:20-23).
