Rev 17:1 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:
Rev 17:2 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.
Rev 17:3 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.
Rev 17:4 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:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 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.
(KJV)
The angel brings John to see the judgement of the woman, the spiritual result of the three woes. - This vision is of the state to which the church would go (rotten) if it were left to its own use of the dragons devices. The woman is described by the angel as sitting on many waters - It has its rest not in the sabbath of Christ but in the trumpet devices of spiritual "Death" or wormwood. The waters are later referenced as peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues; This surely indicates that all manner of people are "gathered together" under this image for reasons discussed shortly.
The text immediately indicates why those people (as waters) are gathered together under the woman. The woman is a corporation, as are countries, businesses, associations, charities etc. The dialectic method with which this woman interweaves herself with government is the "wine of fornication" that the whole world has been made drunk with by the drgaon, beast and in the case of the woman and the beasts image, the false prophet. The kings of the earth have also used the process, (as in government) so every person on the earth has been made drunk alongside the "church" represented by the woman.
John is carried into the wilderness (the two parts cut off in the K4 ultrafilter as the static subgroup on the octal.) The two parts cut off is where the woman is found - the woman is clearly identified with those that are under the serpent spirits, and are engaged in the three woes. The "great city" in these two parts cut off is then present in the form of the locusts and serpents and image. There is no sabbath rest in the K4 ultrafilter here - merely the "Death" or antichrist spirit.
The beast the woman sits on is not a conglomerate of lion bear and leopard, rather the beast appears to be of one form, in scarlet. (Jerusalems sins in the OT are described as "scarlet").
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(KJV)
The beast is described with seven heads and ten horns. These will be interpreted later, yet the names of blasphemy with which the beast is full is as to become the leader of God's people. In effect the beast has supplanted the Father - and the Holy Spirit with Him. The image has supplanted the office of Christ, but the beast sits as God with the woman riding it. A curious inversion. Then every name of blasphemy in the beast is as such to make it judged to be desolate, the blasphemy is unacceptable.
The woman is decked in rich apparel - The woman is very rich, but she is to be stripped naked. At any given moment this vision shows that the woman is concerned with "the cares of this world" as Jesus described it. The wealth of the woman is related directly to the commerce of souls within the waters gathered under her. The imagery of wealth shown John indicates that if one would be rich with peoples as the woman is, one requires to ride the same beast in the wilderness. The cup of wealth and fornication of the mark process shows that the wilderness of two parts cut off are engaged in the woman's process of fornication, or they are excluded altogether - to sit at the table with the woman is to drink her maddening wine.
The name "MYSTERY" indicates the word "church" which is not defined anywhere in the beast's laws. After all - no one has defined the gospel as the laws of the land to an entity which the term may be uniquely put. "BABYLON THE GREAT" indicates the government recognising the "church" incorporated - which has been the case of even the very first corporation of the ancient city of nimrod (bel).One can think of this statement as "church, as recognised by all government everywhere." "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" indicates that this particular corporation is "legally equal to all corporations (abominations) everywhere - as if it were the supreme law of the world that it should be so. (The mother of them all)."
The woman is decsribed as drunken with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. Those under the altar and sealed in the opening of the fifth and sixth seals are they that are opposed by the serpent spirits that have caused nothing but "spiritual Death". The last three seals are opened n the K4 ultrafilter - the two parts corresponding to the non-unity elements are those martyrs and sealed (saints) respectively. The blood of those two identities with which the woman is drunken indicates that she "sits" as if she were a confused octal or serpent spirit of the sixth trumpet with the inheritance of the saints and martyrs. In truth she is the "false prophet" supplanting the proper ultrafilter.
The agency of the woman is such that she sits as Christ (a faulty filter in the octal transplanting the proper K4 filter) in the temple of Christ (the wilderness) indicating that she acts for or as Christ. The scarlet beast is then the bizarre synthesis of the woman and the first beast - or the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth. We see later that the desciption indicates how the beast is energised by the false prophet, which is now identified as the woman.
John wonders with great admiration - The woman is highly successful, yet why admire one so drunk with blood? The text shows that the word "admiration" is to "wonder", so John wonders with great wonder. John is effectively asking "How can this be?". (A common question for a prophet.)
The judgement with which the woman is shown in the vision shows the church at the end of its leavening process. The synagogue of satan as the source of leaven is now completely as the woman herself - the false prophet is also synthesised with the woman, so that every false doctrine of OT israel is taken up by the woman and the source of leaven is fully accepted everywhere. The false prophet's image has finished its work of causing the falling away - and the elect are no longer to remain inside. As the least has left and the image has leavened - this judgement indicates the church as false prophet itself, and not the victim of a separate devilish spirit. The synagogue of satan is now the whole church - (the woman and false prophet) when this judgement is complete, period.
