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.
Babylon, the idiom of false religion. She is a whore because she doesn't remain true to her supposed husband, Jesus. The woman is Rome/Vatican,
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Several possible options for the eighth beast, maybe Assyrians, maybe even Israel herself, at least for a while, until she realizes who Jesus was, and quits acting the fool and goes back to obeying God like they once did.
Now we get to the last kingdom.
12 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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 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.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 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.
This last beast, is a revised version of the old Roman Empire, it may be the EU, or something that the EU evolves into, but the EU is certainly involved one way or the other.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
And here, verse 18 tells us which city is the whore….ROME. The last beast, somewhere along the line, decides it is tired of the whore, and strips her of her wealth and everything, my guess is it's mainly the Vatican. Who else has vast wealth? The EU, or the main guy, running the show, is eventually gonna proclaim himself as god and sit on the mercy seat or otherwise somehow profane the temple. So, the anti-Christ doesn't want any contenders for his power and worship, I think that is one of the reasons I think they are gonna destroy the Vatican, the anti-Christ doesn't want to share power, among other things.
Considering the fact that with all the digging we've done over the years, the Vatican seems to figure largely in a lot of this cabal bullshit, so it makes me wonder if we are nearly at the point at which the whore gets stripped and replaced. It may be on the near horizon.
