Ok, on this page I will explain what the "Whore" with mystery babylon the great the mother of harlots written on her forehead. But first we must go back to the tower of Babel(Babylon) and take a look a literal Babylon to understand this end time spiritual Babylon. For example the bible in Revelation 2:20 speaks of Jezebel, but this is not the literal Jezebel of the old testament who died in 2 Kings chapters 9:33. The Jezebel of Revelation 2:20 is not a literal, physical woman, but a spiritual woman or apostate church that do the evil works of the Jezebel of the old testament. In the bible, when the word "woman" is used in prophecy, the word woman represents a church. Now understand that there are two types of women or churches spoken of in the book of Revelation. The first woman or church spoken of in the book of Revelation is in chapter 12:1-6 and it states:12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
And again in Jeremiah 6:2: "I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman." Also in Isaiah 51:16: "And say unto Zion, Thou art my people."
And finally in Ephesians 5:22-33: 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
So a comely, virtuous woman pure without spot or wrinkle(not advocating the practice of living in sin by breaking God's commandments) is the church of Jesus Christ. There she is, behold her in all her glory. But the seven headed dragon, which heads are the seven world kingdoms that Satan has used on this earth to wage war(this is a continuation of the war that Lucifer/Satan started against God in heaven) against God's commandment keeping people. For example, in Revelation 12:3,4 we are told that as soon as the woman gave birth to the child the dragon stood before the woman to devour her child. We know that this child is Jesus Christ, because in Revelation 12:5 we are told that this child would rule the nations with a rod of iron and that he was caught up into heaven. What kingdom did Satan work through to crucify Jesus Christ and also bring bloody inhumane persecution upon the followers of Jesus Christ, you guessed correctly, it was THE PAGAN ROMAN EMPIRE under Herod the Great. I Hope you like the picture below I prepared it just for you!
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.

So a comely, virtuous woman pure without spot or wrinkle(not advocating the practice of living in sin by breaking God's commandments) is the church of Jesus Christ. There she is, behold her in all her glory. But the seven headed dragon, which heads are the seven world kingdoms that Satan has used on this earth to wage war(this is a continuation of the war that Lucifer/Satan started against God in heaven) against God's commandment keeping people.

I Hope you like the picture below I prepared it just for you!
And now let's take a look at second woman or church in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 17:1-6 we read:
17 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
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.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 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:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
And so as Satan used the PAGAN ROMAN EMPIRE to wage bloody war against Jesus Christ and his followers, then after the fall of pagan rome, Satan raised up the PAPAL ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH to continue bloody war during the dark ages to kill millions of christians. Instead of trying to conquer God's church from without by using bloody persecution by the hands of Pagan Rome, which wasn't working. Satan came up with a new strategy to unite paganism with christianity and conquer christianity from within, thus the birth of the Papal Roman Catholic Church.
Anyone who opposed the pagan rites, practices, and rituals that flowed into the church at Rome faced ridicule and persecution. This Whore or church has committed fornication with the kings of the earth, or had illegal contracts with the kings, princes,monarchs,dictators,presidents of the earth to use the civil power of the state to persecute anyone who will not bow to her religious dogmas.
Just as surely as literal Jezebel(one physical woman/church) united in a illegal marriage contract with King Ahab(civil power), just so has the spiritual Jezebel(the great whore/universal church) united in illegal marriage contracts with the Kings(civil powers of this world) of the earth. This is an illegal union because the church is supposed to be espoused to Jesus Christ only, holy and pure and not dabbling in murder, drunkenness, fornication, etc. And the reason why this great whore/church has the term Mystery Babylon attached to her name is because she practices the Mystery Religion that originated in Babylon, who by infusing itself under a cloak or veneer of christianity, presents itself as christian, but in reality is antichristian. And so the Endtime Spiritual Babylon the Great will be a uniting of the False prophet(2nd beast or United States, namely apostate protestantism, those daughter's of the 1st beast or Papacy, that observe her false doctrines like Sunday worship, the immortality of the soul, eternal punishment in hell fire) along with the Dragon which is primarily used for Satan, but in a secondary sense is used for the Civil Powers of the world or State Powers or Kings of the earth.
Thus Babylon the Great will be a uniting of the 1st beast(the Papacy) of Rev 13, The Dragon, civil power or kings of the earth of Rev 16:13, and the False Prophet(2nd beast of Rev 13) fallen sunday keeping churches in the United States. Satan used a threefold union to persecute and destroy God's prophets and establish false worship in 1 Kings 18:4,19. But what happened in the book of 1 Kings 18 was on a regional scale. But in Rev 16:13 Satan will use this same threefold union to capture the entire world, establish false worship for himself and try to destroy God's remnant people.
3 Fold Union(1 Kings 18:4,17,19) 3 Fold Union(Rev 16:13)
1.Jezebel 1. Beast(false church) or Mother Church)
2.Ahab
2. Dragon( civil powers or kings)
3.False Prophets
3. False Prophet( false
protestant churches
that come out of the
mother church, then
reunite with her)
To aid you in understanding what this Mystery Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots and why the name Jezebel is used in the book of Revelation, I have included several videos to more thoroughly explain what this mystery religion entails. Please be patient and watch all the videos, after all Rome wasn't built in one day, pardon the pun! And oh yea, Papal Rome, the Mother church gave birth to some harlots churches(so-called protestant sunday-keeping harlots/churches) that cling to some of her(papal rome's) traditions and practices. Look, Listen and Learn!
