Babylon in this context is Rome, the center of the at that time pagan Roman Empire. It is not the Catholics - the Catholics are the Roman Christians who were being persecuted.

Sorry, typing to fast. But the Romans did not persecute the Catholics.

So you don't understand Revelation that well? So considering that so much of Revelation is concerning the time period we live right now, would you think this is not a good thing for you especially in light that you say you preach and teach ones about the bible and you have this void in your teaching that shouldn't be there? So you are not qualified to te e on a kid when speaking of the Bible and the book of Revelation.
Unbelieveable.......
understood by even the prophets until the Son of God came to reveal them
and not everyone understood then. Even Christ's disciples were baffled and
still seemed unclear as to how soon His second coming would be. There will
be a time when the last part of Daniel's prophecies and those in Revelations
will be understood. Nobody seems to completely understand now. Maybe,
we want until after Christ's second coming. Right now we can only make
speculations because the prophecies are not stated in a manner to be easily
understood.
Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, could also refer to Islam, a Satanic
religion, in my opinion. But like I said, I have only read the book, nothing more.

So you say..... Did you ever talk to the man? Ever ask him any questions and have an open book discussion with him with a bible? Ever see the research he and the other bible students that he was associated with did and why they learned what they did about the supposed Christian religions aroiund them that they knew something was wrong in their teachings?
Hum? Sounds like your still judging doesn't it?
are expected to do. You are probably thinking ot the judging reserved for the
Son. I am sure you remember that Christ said, "The Father judges no man, all
judging has been left to the Son." It is all of a certain type of judging He is speaking
of for Paul says that the saints shall judge the angels.

Ok so where do you get this authority from exactly? Could you show me by scripture where you get this authority from?

Originally posted by RJHindsNope your wrong again. The bible CLEARLY says that as time goes on the light would get "brighter and brighter", not stuck or stalled or stagnent as it has become to you and to most religions.

If this scripture is wrong and was a lie...prove it.
But for ones who do now completely understand Revelation, it is no longer a MYSTERY as it is to you and most church leaders like the Catholic Priest that tried to shut me down at his door because he was clearly scared of this book and had no clue what it's for.
The bible also makes it clear that God lets those who he wants and allows to understand the Bible or let me put it this way, the COMPLETE bible not parts of it, if they are ones he approves to know the "deeper things' within it. This book was not written to be a mystery forever or what good would it have been to give it too us? It is here on this earth for a reason and that is for us to learn what it's saying and how it will direct us to life.
IF you don't understand parts of it, the deeper parts, what does that tell you??????????? I think that's obvious.
