The Mother Harlot

2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,
2Cr 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


I was just reading and this thought came to me. Is the Mother Harlot really the Roman Catholic Church? Could it be that the true Mother Harlot is the setting up of any carnal minded system in place of God's Spiritual system?

Why couldn't it be both?

The RCC was definitely not the MOH...

First point... how can one play the harlot if one has not been married to the one in which you have played the harlot?

Quote:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Quote:
Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
There were a few things said about Babylon the great...

Quote:
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Here is another reference similar to what you have pointed out... remember... Come OUT of her my people... so His people were IN her.

Quote:
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
In her destruction God had avenged the apostles & prophets.

Quote:
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
'

In her... the mother of harlots... babylon the great... was found the blood of prophets, and of saints etc....

Now here is something interesting that Jesus had to say...

Quote:
Luk 13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Luk 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Luk 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Who, indeed, was the mother of harlots and babylon the great?

Good post, Digging! I have never believed that the RCC has been nor ever will be the Harlot.

The RCC cannot be guilty of all the blood of the prophets. All the OT prophets were dead before it even came along.

And... Jesus said... "for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.".

This scripture is even more telling:

Quote:

That's the thing about Revelation that has always bothered me. We always think the whole thing turns space age or something (spooky, wackpo, scary, and superstitious stuff). I just don't see it that way.

The RCC can trace its roots all the way back to Peter, D4T, so I would say the Harlot could most certainly be the RCC.
