Chapter Thirty/"Babylon the Great Has Fallen!" - Babylon's Disgraceful Fall - Conclusion

 Since Babylon the Great is the religious part of Satan's Seed, she has always made Jehovah's woman," "Jerusalem above," her main target. In the first century the congregation of anointed Christians was clearly identified as the woman's seed. (Genesis 3:15; Galatians3:29; 4:26) Babylon the Great tried hard to conquer that chaste congregation by seducing it into committing religious fornication. The apostle Paul and Peter warned that many would succumb and a great apostasy would result. (Acts 20:29, 30; 2 Peter 2:1-3) Jesus' messages to the seven congregations indicated that toward the end of John's life, Babylon the Great was making some progress in her efforts to corrupt. (Revelation 2:6, 14, 15, 20-23) But Jesus had already show how far she would be permitted to go.
