Jerusalem who rejected and crucified Jesus was the Great Whore.
Watch the corollary:
JERUSALEM ( Note: Jesus Christ's own words ):
Matthew 23:33-35 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That
upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
NOTE IN REVELATION ABOUT WHORE:
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of
all that were slain upon the earth.
Keep in mind that two different parties can never be guilty of "all" of the same thing. ..Jesus said Jerusalem was guilty of all of the blood shed on earth, and so was the whore in Revelation.
TOLD TO WOMEN OF JERUSALEM ( Note : Jesus Christ's own words ):
Luke 23:28-30 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us .
NOTE IN REVELATION:
Revelation 6:16 And
said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
JERUSALEM IS NOTED IN REVELATION AS THE GREAT CITY:
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of
the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified .
So when we read after this verse, through the rest of the book, whenever we come across a reference to "that great city", its pointing back to the Great City noted above.
Revelation 17:18 And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
When we let the Bible interpret itself, by noting the references to Jerusalem as being identical to the points about the Great Whore in the book of Revelation, we clearly see that JERUSALEM was that whore. However, be careful to note that this speaks of Jerusalem of Jesus' day. In THAT GENERATION, forty years later, Jerusalem was judged in 70 AD. Revelation is about that judgment.
Ask yourself what witnesses more with your spirit: ..The words of Jesus that are identical to the words found in Revelation concerning the whore and the judgments upon people being the true intepretation of these references in Revelation, or modern prophecy's interpretations not found explicitly interpreted anywhere in scripture (such as the catholic church being the whore) ?
