Mystery Babylon: Great Prostitute

Commits Immorality with the Kings of the Earth

Jesus says to "Come Out of Her"

"Drunk with the Blood of the Saints"



"..Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk."
--- Revelation 17:1-2

"And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.' And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus."
--- Revelation 17:5-6

"I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues;'"
--- Revelation 18:4 NASB

What is Mystery Babylon
In the last days, a one-world empire of false religion and political power will take control the the earth. This one-world oppressive government is called mystery Babylon in the Bible.
The Bible calls this wicked government a harlot as it engages in "fornication" (spiritual unfaithfulness) with the world's political leaders and business merchants to deceive the people of the world.

Mystery Babylon only rules for a short time. The Bible tells us that Mystery Babylon will rule only a short time: (".. he must remain only a little while."-- Revelation 17:10).

Mystery Babylon will then be overtaken by the Antichrist through deception and the help of a foreign god:
"He [the Antichrist] shall deal with the strongest fortresses [Mystery Babylon] with the help of a foreign god [fallen angel].
Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price." --- Daniel 11:39





Come Out of Her
"Coming out of Mystery Babylon" means separating oneself from its influence, doctrines, and practices to avoid sharing in its sins and receiving its judgment.

"And he called out with a mighty voice,
'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.

3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.'

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
'Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;'

5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities."
--- Revelation 18:2-5



The command to "come out of her" is a warning from God to avoid sharing in Babylon's sins and receiving her plagues. Many Christians will be deceived into becoming a part of Mystery Babylon's economic system, not understanding how evil this government is and not thinking they have a choice.

As conditions under this oppressive regime go from bad to worse, Christians will wake up and begin to understand that they MUST detach themselves from it.

The best approach to this evil one-world government is not to become a part of it from its inception. Many born-again Christians that understand this will be homeless and penniless but at least not tainted by sin, having not embraced the evil system from the beginning.

This poverty and persecution is shown after the second seal is broken: "I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), [spiritually rich] and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days."
--- Revelation 2:9-10 NASB



This world government will hate Christians and kill many:
"And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus." --- Revelation 17:6

Christians will be imprisoned and tested (threatened and pressured) for 10 days to defile themselves by agreeing with this end-time world system and thus are participating in their immorality.
We need to be like Daniel when he faced the culture of Bablylon:
"But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself.." -- Daniel 1:8 "and tested them for ten days." -- Daniel 1:14
