Great Whore of Revelation - Satan's Woman - Satan's Bride?
The true, Biblical definition of the Whore offends billions, so we may as well get it out of the way now. We will prove from Scripture that a huge portion of Christians are absolutely convinced that they are members in good standing of the Bride of Christ, when in reality they are nestled comfortably into the massive system that is the Great Whore. The Great Whore is Antichrist's Church. It is his Religion, his system of deceit. It is Satan's method of indoctrinating his deceived followers with Doctrines of Devils designed specifically to lull them into a false comfort zone. When John saw, "All the world wonder after the Beast," the people following and worshipping that Beast make up Babylon, the Great Whore.

The Great Whore Has Harlot Daughters!
Who are these Harlot Daughters? They are Churches that claim no connection with the Great Whore, but their Doctrines prove otherwise. Their principle Doctrine of Demons is, "Grace Frees us to Disobey God and His Law."

The Whore THINKS She's Christ's Bride!
This fact can't be stressed enough! Great Whore members honestly THINK they are the real Bride of Christ! Some think being a member of a popular Christian Church automatically qualifies them as the Bride of Christ. Some think that being in a Pre-Trib Church will do it. For some, it is being in a Church that keeps the Sabbath. Some think that being part of a Church with the greatest mission program is the key. Some are duped into joining cults. Others say that staying out of cults is the key!

"Stay Out of Cults!"
Actually this last idea, staying out of a cult, is correct. However, every person allowing himself or herself to be duped into being part of the Great Whore is a card-carrying member of the world's largest and most dangerous CULT!

Babylon is The GREAT WHORE
Everywhere in the Old and New Testament, if a verse addresses Babylon in terms of Prophecy, the subject is directly addressing the Great Whore. So, let's go to Scripture and learn what we must do to NOT be part of Her. First let's tie all the loose ends together. Antichrist, the Beast, Babylon, and the Whore, are all are OWNED and OPERATED by Satan.

How Many People will be part of the Great Whore?
Study Text #1 - Rev. 13:3
"And ALL the WORLD wondered after the Beast (Antichrist)."
Sounds hopeless, but, John said a small "Remnant" would refuse to be part of the Whore, refusing to be part of the "Grace Frees Us To DISOBEY God's Commandments." John prophesied that this "Remnant" will be the opposite and choose to obey "The Commandments of God and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ!" Let's look at what John wrote:
Study Text #2 - Rev.12:17
"And the Dragon (Satan) was wroth with the Woman (God's true people or True Church) and went to make war with the Remnant of her seed, who keep the Commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ!"
Also John Wrote "Here is the patience of the Saints! Here are they that KEEP the COMMANDMENTS of God, and have the Faith of Jesus"(Vs. 14:12).

THIS IS THE DEFINING POINT!!!

Christ's Bride Obeys God's Law! The Great Whore DISOBEYS God's Law!
While almost the whole earth is wondering after and worshipping the Beast, thus becoming the Great Whore, a small remnant, those NOT part of the Great Whore, are obeying God's Commandments.

Jesus Calls His Bride to Leave the Whore
Study Text #3 - Rev.18:4
"And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, Come out of her (Babylon) My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
So, how would a person "come out of Babylon" and become part of Christ's Bride? If we are part of a group that says we can toss God's Commandments by saying, "Grace Frees Me From Obeying God's Law," we need to come out of Babylon!

The Great Whore is Fallen, is Fallen!
Study Text #4 - Rev.14:8
"And there followed another angel saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

The Third Angel Followed
After the Second Angel's warning, a Third Angel warned of the Mark of the Beast saying that those wearing it shall, "drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation" (Rev.14:10).
John tells again about the small Remnant who will NOT be part of the Great Whore.

Study Text #5 - Rev.14:12
"Here is the patience of the Saints. Here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the FAITH of JESUS."
We can go completely through Revelation looking at Babylon the Great Whore, and almost every time it emphasizes that those who ARE NOT part of her have the "Faith of Jesus", the "Testimony of Jesus" , "Keep God's Commandments" and they "Overcame even as He overcame" (See Rev.3:21 and 21:7).

Babylon the Great Whore is Fallen
Study Text #6—Isa.24:10
"The City of Confusion (Babylon-The Great Whore) is broken down; and every house is shut up that no man may come in."
This is Isaiah’s description of events just after Jesus’ Second Coming. He is describing the Lord utterly devastating earth and destroying the wicked inhabitants. In verse 5, he tells why Babylon the Great Whore is destroyed.

She Tampered With God's Law
Study Text #7 - Isa.24:5
"The earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have TRANSGRESSED the LAWS, CHANGED the ORDINANCE [changed the Sabbath?], and BROKEN the EVERLASTING COVENANT. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left."
There are literally hundreds of Scriptures confirming the fact that it is the Great Whore's attitude towards GOD'S LAW that makes her the evil woman that she is.
In contrast, all Scriptures describing the Bride of Christ show her as obedient to God's Law.

Satan's Bait-and-Switch - THE WHORE for THE BRIDE
Could Satan's pitiful stunt be more obvious? If a Doctrine or Theory says Christ's Bride will come ONLY from a Dispensation during which time believers live by a formula of "Grace Frees Me to Disregard, Disobey, and Change God's Law," Satan's BAIT-AND-SWITCH is SCREAMINGLY obvious! And sadly, he's getting away with it BIG TIME!?! His message is actually being SHOUTED from hundreds of thousands of pulpits around the world EVERY week!?!
Conclusion - Are You in Babylon?
If you are in a Group or Church that says "Grace Frees Me to Disobey God's Law," you need to "Come out of Babylon!"
If you're in a group that says, "Your nature is such that you CANNOT obey God's Law," you need to "Come out of Babylon."
If your group says "Jesus loves you just like you are, so you don't need to change," you need to "Come out of Babylon."
If your group says, "Jesus used His Divine strength to overcome, but that strength is NOT available to you," you definitely need to "Come out of Babylon!"
If your group "Reverses, Revises, Rearranges, or Disregards ANY Scripture," you absolutely MUST "Come out of Babylon!"
Let us continue to pray for God's Spirit to guide us so that we are NOT part of the Great Whore! Let's pray for God's Spirit to guide us as we prepare to meet Him!! Check other Websites listed below.
Yours in Christ
