The Woman in purple and scarlet (R17.1-4)
The counterfeit of the Lamb’s Wife; the great city of the Devil**; highly likely — the Vatican !?!
She is the woman sitting on the scarlet beast, the B7-10-10, which has the seven (7) heads and the ten (10) horns (R17.3, 7). She was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication (R17.4).
She is drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (R17.6).
She is the great city** which reigns over the kings of the earth (R17.18). On her forehead was written: “Mystery Babylon the Great**, the mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth (R17.5).
In her was found the blood of prophets and saints (R18.24).
The Woman with the Male Child (R12.1-14)
The Woman clothe with the Sun, with the Moon under her feet, and her head a garland of twelve (12) stars (R12.1), refers to Israel. The Sun, the Lord God, is upon her; the Moon, the Earth, is her portion; the twelve (12) stars are the twelve (12) tribes of Israel.
The Male Child she conceived and was in labor to give birth is the Lord Jesus who was the Word that was made flesh and was born of the virgin Mary. The Male Child, Jesus, was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And He was caught up to God and His throne (R12.5) (John 12:30-32).
Death and Hades (R6.8; R20.13-15)
These, the Death and Hades, are the two (2) spiritual beings who was shown to have sat on the pale horse in Revelation 6.8. The name of him who sat on that pale horse was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them — both the Death and Hades — over a forth (1/4) of the earth. These two (2), Death and Hades, I believe, are the satanic spirit of Islam and Marxist-Communism. Hence, today, the numbers who follow Islam and Marxist-Communism are over a quarter (1/4) of the world population. They, Death and Hades, are given the power to kill with sword (recalls the ISIS, Boko Haram and the like?), with hunger (recalls North Korea and countries in Africa whose leaders are fanatical muslims and/or communists?), with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (R6.8). Eventually, at the end of this age, the Death and Hades, the two spiritual beings, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, after they were judged by the Lord God Almighty at the Great White Throne Judgment (R20.14). Amen.
