Great Hartot

To my lunchtime live stream today, this Saturday. I'm going
-
to be talking about the Great Harlot today. The Great
-
Harlot is mentioned twice in the Scripture. The primary time
-
is in Revelation chapter 17. And it gives details as
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
to why she's the Great Harlot. So, let's pick this
-
up in verse 1. This is when it's mentioned. Then
-
one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
-
came and talked with me, saying to me, Come, and
-
I will show you the judgment of the great harlot
-
who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of
-
the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth
-
were made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So
-
he carried me away into the spirit, into the wilderness.
-
And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast,
-
which is full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads,
-
and ten horns, so take note. Right here, this takes
-
a completely different direction. You have to realize that this phraseology,
-
this is branched out all over the place in Revelation.
-
This is the entire planet, as the dragon is the
-
prince of this earth. So when you look at that,
-
it really does drive this home. I'm going to read
-
some of these verses that has the seven heads and
-
the ten horns in it. So, that being the case,
-
Revelation chapter 13, verse 1, Then I stood on the
-
sand of the sea, and I saw a great beast
-
rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and
-
ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on
-
his heads blasphemous names. So, here you go. Through these verses,
-
we're going to learn this is the whole planet. Revelation 12, 3.
-
And another sign appeared in heaven. Behold, a great fiery
-
red dragon having seven heads and ten horns. This signifies
-
the entire planet. It signifies the entire planet. Revelation 17, 3.
-
It mentions the seven heads and ten horns again. Revelation 17,
-
verse 7 mentions it again. Just redundantly remembering. This ties
-
in to end time Bible prophecy. You need to understand
-
this is why the gospel must be preached in all
-
the world. Because this harlot is the apostatized church. Everyone
-
has heard the gospel and anyone who has rejected the
-
gospel is the harlot. That's what this is talking about.
-
So With that in mind, let's get back to Revelation
-
chapter 17, verse 4. The woman was arrayed in purple
-
and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls,
-
having on her head a golden cup full of the
-
abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her
-
forehead was written mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of
-
harlots and the abominations of the earth. And I saw
-
the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and
-
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when
-
I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. This single
-
verse gives you key insight. Beware those of you who
-
are born again. This verse makes it perfectly clear that
-
this harlot is the ones that have martyred those who've
-
been baptized in the Spirit. That's what this is talking about.
-
That's very disturbing for most Christians, but take note, this
-
is what the great apostasy is about. Jesus Christ described
-
this in depth in Matthew chapter 24. This great harlot
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
is the apostatized church, and it's on all seven continents
-
because the gospel has been preached at this time of
-
these events. When the gospel has reached the end of
-
the earth. This is how this is able to take place.
-
So this also sets up the simple fact that it
-
is the time for the end. Once the entire globe
-
has been, had the gospel presented to them, these events
-
can take place. So it's tied in one with another.
-
And everybody needs to know. This is why Maranatha ministry
-
has changed its message. I no longer speak to the
-
tares or the goats. I don't waste my time anymore
-
telling them a call to repentance. This ministry has switched.
-
I am only addressing those who have been born again.
-
Those who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Because
-
it's these other congregants in the churches we go to
-
that's going to make martyrs out of us. What is
-
coming during the Great Apostasy is not like it was
-
during the Reformation. The Reformation triggered the wars of religion.
-
That's not what's coming. The Great Apostasy is your fellow
-
congregants martyring you who are in those congregations. It's not
-
churches against churches. It's not the Baptists against the Catholics.
-
It's not the Catholics... Against the Orthodox. It's not the
-
Orthodox against the Presbyterians. This is very clear. The Bible
-
is very clear in its message. No. People who go
-
to a different church. And are part of a different denomination.
-
They are not your immediately. Family in Christ. Jesus Christ
-
warned you about what? Your brothers. Your sisters. This is
-
what he's talking about. Your congregation. In your church. your
-
congregants are going to make a martyr out of you.
-
They're only going to do so for one reason. Revelation
-
chapter 6 verse 9. What do we testify to? We
-
testify to Revelation chapter 22 verses 18 and 19. They
-
keep contradicting the word by adding to it and taking
-
away from it. And we, who have been born again
-
and baptized in the Holy Spirit, we start countering them. No,
-
that's just your tradition. That's not what the word says.
-
This is going to trigger the great martyrdom. Just like
-
Revelation chapter 17 verse 6 said, I saw the woman
-
drunk with the blood of the saints and with the
-
blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her,
-
I marveled with great amazement. The great apostasy. If you
-
have been born again, and you have any encouraging words
-
or prayers, please put them in the comments. And if
-
you've been edified, please like and share the video, and
-
please subscribe to the channel. Maranatha Ministries is trying to
-
prepare those of us that's been born again for the
-
great apostasy. It is coming and they are going to
-
make martyrs out of us. Till next time, God bless. Godspeed.
