The Devil Resides There
According to Revelation 17:18 (our text verse), Jerusalem is that great city, The Great Whore, which reigneth over the kings of the earth! Or more specifically, the Illuminati (hierarchy of the power of darkness) who control Israel and the United States reign over the kings of the earth. Of course, Lucifer (Satan) is at the top of the hierarchy of power. Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
The Devil imitates everything that God does, trying to deceive mankind. A classic example is the Antichrist, who will come in an attempt to trick the world into receiving him as the true Messiah.
