Chapter Four: The Whore of Revelation
Do you believe this monster is simply a backslidden or apostate church like many of our Christian
leaders tell us, or is she the whore of Revelation? Let's look at scripture and check it out for ourselves.
We find in chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation the Bible says, "I will show unto thee the judgment of
the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:" And, of course, in scripture the reference to many waters
means multitudes of people. Today the Vatican boasts almost one billion followers. What's that, almost a
quarter of the earth's population?
And it says, "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication." If you look back in
history you will see that almost every king has had political, economic or religious ties with the Vatican,
starting with Constantine the Great, who was actually the first pope, and presided over the first council.
Constantine was never saved. (That was another smokescreen.) Most nations today have diplomatic
representatives in the Vatican.
"And the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication." We have
just looked at the madness of World War II and how it was set up by the Jesuits. And the Bible goes on
to say, "The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet." These are the official colors of the Vatican.
"And decked with gold and precious stones and pearls." Did you know the Vatican is the wealthiest
organization on the face of the earth? Later in the book I'll go into this in more detail. The Bible goes on
to say, "And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT." Where did
Catholicism come from? If you do a little research you'll find it came from the ancient Babylonian
mysteries, and you can trace it right back to Nimrod and Semiramis. Only the names were changed to
make it look like a Christian organization.
"...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." Rev. 18:2
