Upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery....
Babylon the Great comes up for repeated mention in the book of Revelation, as well as a description of her and of her downfall.
Some of her characteristics according to Revelation are:
- She “sits on many waters,” controlling peoples and making them drunk with her poisonous, lying doctrines.
- She is arrayed in purple and scarlet, and is adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls.
- the traveling merchants of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury.
- She is bloodguilty because of her treacherous warmongering.
- She is involved in political philandering.
- She has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.
- After her destruction, the kings of the earth and the traveling merchants are weeping and mourning over her.
Eventually militarized horns of the very beast she is jockeying will rip her apart and destroy her.
In one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire,. . .
Have you solved the mystery of who she is ?
Re 14:8; 16:19; chaps 17, 18; 19:1-3.
We see her again as a key figure in visions 11 and 12.
