Mystery Babylon the Great: Fact Sheet

“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: 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. 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. 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: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
–Revelation 17:1-5

As a great many specific questions concerning the end times have to do with Babylon, it was decided to publish a fact sheet on the topic.

fact sheet

A fact sheet, factsheet, fact file or (in some industries) one-sheet is a presentation of data in a format which emphasizes key points concisely, usually using tables, bullet points and/or headings, on a single printed page.

The Bible informs the reader about “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

HOWEVER, false teachers labor ceaselessly to obscure the truth of God’s Word.

This also applies to Revelation 17, which contains a great amount of information concerning this end times entity.

With this in mind, we now present what God’s Word has to say about “the great whore“–what many call Mystery Babylon–OR “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

1- The whore is a religious system which has enticed the kings of the earth to “commit fornication” with her.

“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.”
–Revelation 17:2

2- ALL nations have participated in committing fornication with the whore.

“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.”
–Revelation 18:3

3- At one time, Babylon served a useful purpose with God: Babylon WAS a “golden cup.” But now, Babylon serves the enemies of God and those who follow her are “mad.”

“Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.”
–Jeremiah 51:7

MORE: PART ONE: Who is Babylon the Great: The Golden Cup

4- Though that religious system once served God (“a golden cup in God’s hand“), it now serves another (a golden cup…full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.“)

“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”
-–Revelation 17:4

5- This religious system not only has killed the prophets of God, it has also killed the followers of Jesus Christ.

“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus”
–Revelation 17:6

“Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.”
–Revelation 18:20

“And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”
–Revelation 18:24

6- The religious system is centered in a city with seven mountains (not “hills”).

“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
–Revelation 17:9

Satan has labored long and hard to tie Revelation 17:9 to Rome and the seven hills of Rome. However, there is another city which sits, not on seven hills, but on seven mountains (or mounts).

7- The religious system–which is headed up by the false prophet (the man of sin of 2THESSALONIANS 2:3)–comes into its end times power by riding on the back of the the one-world government (“beast“).

“I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”
–Revelation 17:3

8- The one-world government–on which the whore rides–makes war with Jesus Christ and loses.

“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 chosen, and faithful.”
–Revelation 17:12-14

9- The religious system is worldwide in scope, deceiving every group of men in the whole world.

“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
–Revelation 17:15

10- The arrangement of the religious system riding on the back of the one-world government is not a permanent one. Eventually, the world system turns on the religious system and destroys it.

“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.”
–Revelation 17:16-17

11- The religious system (whore) is synonymous with a particular city.

“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
–Revelation 17:18

12- In the last days, God will send two witnesses to testify against the whore for 1260 day (42 months or three and a half years). They will testify in “that great city” and then be killed.

“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”
–Revelation 11:3,7-8

13- The peoples of the earth will see the dead bodies of the two witnesses lying in the streets of that great city (because they will not be buried) and will rejoice. But then, men shall see the two witnesses resurrected and grow fearful.

“And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”
–Revelation 11:9-12

14- Babylon the Great (the whore; the religious system) will not last. God will use an angel to announce its fall.

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 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.”
–Revelation 18:1-3

“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
–Revelation 14:6,8

15- God will destroy the religious system and its city in one day.

“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”
–Revelation 18:8

“And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
–Revelation 18:9-10

16- Finally, God will not only destroy Babylon, the city will NEVER be inhabited ever again.

“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
–Revelation 18:21-23

IS the reader curious if Babylon the Great exists today?

One clue: compare Jeremiah 7:34, Jeremiah 16:9, Jeremiah 25:10 and Ezekiel 26:13 to Revelation 18:21-22.

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
