Revelation 17:Verse 1 AND there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Revelation 17:Verse 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Revelation 17:Verse 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: |
Revelation 18:Verse 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:Verse 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, |
Revelation 18:Verse 13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. Revelation 18:Verse 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! |
The great apostasy, that began with the demise of the apostles, opened the door for Satan to establish his kingdom upon the earth without priesthood interference. During the early days of this apostasy,
Satan was able to take many of the "plain and precious things" from the scriptures. The "early church fathers" had been trained in Greek philosophy, and this philosophical and scientific thought then denied the existence of
a corporeal god, and promoted the evil nature of matter. With this apostate concept of God forcibly accepted, Satan succeeds in destroying the nature of God, and the individuality of the Godhead. This teaching obliterated the concept of exaltation,
for God could not have, nor ever have a physical body, and thus, man, with a resurrected body may never become a god. This doctrinal creed, based on the philosophies of men mingled with scripture, bought and purchased by power, pride and money has
continued to exist to the present day. The modern "Christian" movements call this Trinitarian concept of God, "historical Christianity" and base their belief in this god of the philosophers, while condemning the sect from
which it comes. The so called reformation, began the demise of agency, the need for repentance and the necessity of the atonement, giving Satan another foothold in the war that began in the pre-earth life.
