The Birthing of Zion’s <strong>Sons</strong><br />

mother - “the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth”<br />

(Rev. 17:5). At the same time that the Bride of Christ is birthing the<br />

mature sons of God bringing liberty and life, the Great Harlot will be<br />

birthing mature sons of the flesh who will bring bondage and death.<br />

Isaiah 60 explains how great glory can cover the earth, while at the<br />

same time deep darkness also covers the earth. Jesus compares the<br />

time of His Second Coming to a woman in labor by saying that wars,<br />

famines, and earthquakes are all the beginning of “birth pangs”<br />

(Matt 24:8).<br />

Also, Paul explains within the context of Jesus’ return that, “when they<br />

cry, ‘peace and safety,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them,<br />

as labor pains upon a pregnant woman” (2 Thess. 3:8). Therefore, a<br />

comparison can be made of these two women:<br />

The Bride of Christ<br />

(Rev. 12)<br />

Mother of a child to rule all<br />

nations (vs. 5)<br />

Filled with life by the blood of<br />

the Lamb (vs. 11)<br />

Clothed with the riches of<br />

heaven (vs. 1)<br />

The dragon and beast oppose<br />

this woman (vs. 3,13,17)<br />

The earth helps this woman<br />

(vs. 16)<br />

Compared to the city of<br />

Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2,3,9,10)<br />

Lay down their lives and end<br />

up with life eternal (vs. 11)<br />

Compared to Sarah birthing<br />

Isaac (Gal. 4:21-31)<br />

The Great Harlot<br />

(Rev 17)<br />

Mother of harlots and<br />

abominations (vs. 5)<br />

Filled with death because they<br />

shed innocent blood (vs. 6)<br />

Clothed with the riches of the<br />

earth (vs. 4)<br />

The dragon and beast carry this<br />

woman (vs. 3,7)<br />

The earth hates this woman (vs.<br />

16-17)<br />

Compared to the city of Babylon<br />

- earthly Jerusalem (vs. 5)<br />

Live for the moment and end up<br />

in eternal death (vs. 16)<br />

Compared to Hagar birthing<br />

Ishmael (Gal. 4:21-31)<br />

<strong>To</strong> further explain these births by the Bride of Christ (Spirit) and the<br />

Great Harlot (flesh), let’s take a look at Galatians 4:21-31 where Paul<br />

compares the sons of promise to Sarah and Isaac, and the sons of the<br />

flesh to Hagar and Ishmael:<br />
