Why has this great harlot been so deserving of this judgment? According to the Law that Jehovah gave to Noah-and through him to all mankind-the wanton shedding of blood calls for the death sentence. This was stateed again in God's Law to Israel. (Genesis 9:6; Numbers 35:20, 21) Moreover, under that Mosaic Law both physica and spiritual adultery merited death. (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 13:1-5) For thousands of years, Babylon the Great has been bloodguilty, and she is a gross Fornicatrix. For example. the policy of the Roman Catholic Church of forbidding her priests to marry has resulted in gross immorality on the part of many of them,, no a few of these today contracting AIDS. (1 Corinthiand 6:9, 10; 1 Timothy 4:1-3) But her major sins, 'massing together clear up to heaven,' are shocking acts of spiritual fornication-this latter in teaching falsehoods and allying herself with corrup; politicians. (Revelation18:5) Since her punishment has finally overtaken her, the heavenly multitude now echoes a second Hallelujah.
