REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Three - A Name, a Mystery

 The apostle Paul is soon to learn that the great harlot has chosen a dangerous beast to ride.  First, though, his attention turns to Babylon the Great  herself.  She is richly adorned, but, oh, how repulsive she is!   "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls and had in her hand a golden cup that was fullof disgusting things and the unclean thigs of her fornication. And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: 'Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.' And I saw the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the the witnesses of Jesus." - REVELATION 17:4-6a.
