REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Five - Devastating the Harlot - Continue

 Certainly, the immense material wealth of Babylon the Great will not save her destruction, for the vision shows that when the wild beast and the ten horns vent their hatred on her they will strip off her royal robes and all her jewelry, they will plunder her wealth. They  "make her . . . naked," shamefully exposing her real character. What devastation!  Her end is far from dignafied. They destroy her, "eat up her fleshly parts," reducing her to a lifeless skelton.  Finally, they "completely burn her with fire." She is burned up like a carrier of the plague, without even a decent burial!  It is not the nations, alone, as represented by the ten horns, that destroy the great harlot,  but "the will beast,"meaning the UN itself, joins them in this rampage.  It will give them its sanction to the destruction of false religion. A majority of the 150-and-more nations within the UN have already displayed, by their wrong pattern, a hostility toward religion, especially that of Christendom.
