This is a must see video!
This is worth your time. Please answer the question too. I would like to know what you think.

Answer 1

Typical Anti-Catholic propaganda. Why not just pass out Jack Chick tracts?

Answer 2

Those who murder or persecute in a combination of greed, bigotry and immorality "are drunk with the blood of the saints" and are of the Woman Who Rides The Beast no matter what they profess, including people who claim to be Bible believers

My family in Ireland over the centuries from about mid 16th cent to the 19th cent was persecuted by Protestants who considered themselves Bible believers

and i think the Dave Hunt types would be very happy to persecute Catholics again.

I doubt that Dave Hunt burns crosses on Catholics' lawns like his KKK spiritual forebearers in the 1920s but he obviously does burn crosses (and Catholics) in his heart.

Answer 3

Any religion whose members and heirachy commit spiritual fornication with the political leaders and powers of the world - eg send their members off to fight in wars, advocate voting for one party or politician, or backing man-made political solutions (eg the UN) are the woman, and are riding the wild beast which represents the worlds political powers.

All these religions and their members are collectively being harlots by putting human leaders ahead of the true god. See Jeremiah 7:8-11 & Isa 47:8-9 for similar expressions of the true gods view of those who worship other leaders instead of giving him exclusive devotion.

The woman is the city of Babylon

Answer 5

Mystery. Babylon the great. The Mother of all harlots and the Abominations of the Earth. Rev 17:5

She has used all peoples of the Earth for her own selfish interests. She represents the ultimate religious and moral prostitute, which merges with and manipulates governmental power whenever it is to her advantage. She therefore symbolizes and heads up the religious apostasy in the last days. In the end, she does not win.

Answer 7

Who knows,it's just a typical piece of jewish apocolyptic literature. I'm a Catholic so I am only too aware how the original canon was decided upon,and Revelations came very,very close to being excluded,and many people still think it should have been. I don't recognize it as canonical. That's not the official position obviously - but it is certainly my position.

Answer 8

The Beast is Nero.....I am not sure who the woman is. Revelation was written for the Christians during the reign of Nero....the most vile Roman Caesar.

Answer 9

Mystery Babylon.

Answer 10

She is the Protector of All That is Good. This woman is suppose to be the one that defeats the antichrist. That is the only name that I have seen connected to her though, and to my understanding she is not Mary, but the guardian/protectress of Earth.
