Islam could be the great whore who is drunk with the blood of the saints. Notice that I'm not saying that it is the great whore, I'm saying that it might be, and I think that there's a strong case for it being such. Islam really is drunk with the blood of the saints for one, and Islam is all over the world and could potentially consume the world. How? Because the Islam is a parasite. Throughout all of its history, Islam depended on other cultures in order to thrive. In fact, if it weren't for Islam's bloody conquest, it would have been swallowed up by more sophisticated cultures! Also notice that Muslims do not conform to the world's cultures. That is an imperitave aspect of Islam's parasitic nature.

Notice also that the whole world fornicates with Islam, making accomadations for her like putting foot baths in airports and setting up Islamic courts. Even head scarfs were sold at my school, and Islamic studies have become a major part of education. Now here's my theory of what Satan will do with this parasite. The Bible says that the world will love and hate the whore, and will eventually destroy her, so Islam must be a stepping stone which Satan will use to destroy all the world's cultures and replace it with one Satanic culture. Could this give rise to the super secret Satanist cult? That is another story, but two things remain for certain: Firstly, the terrorists don't have to win militarily. They just have to survive until our people get tired of fighting. Secondly, if the West doesn't give political correctness the boot and start recognizing Islam as the threat that it is, then it will surely destroy us as it has destroyed Great Brittain.

Indeed, Brittain is a warning to all the Western world of what could happen should we cater to Islam any further. That country has a 40% Islamic population, and it's on the rise. They allowed Islamic courts to be independent of British rule of law, and the Muslims there are still screaming for more grievances. They are like stubborn children, and they will never be satisfied until they conquer the whole world. Islam may be America's last enemy, and I have doubts that it's an enemy we can defeat.
 
In reply to your comments regarding Islam and whether it is the Beast of Revelation:

There are nine major points to identify the Beast:
1- The Beast came to power in a densely populated area( Rev. 13:1)
2- The Beast obtained its authority from Satan thus will be deceptive(Rev. 13:2)
3- The Beast combines religious and political power-they worshiped the Beast(Rev. 13:4)
4- The Beast ruled for 1260 years - 42 months- ( Rev. 13:5)
5- The Beast is a persecuting power for the Christians (Rev.13:7)
6- The Beast will fully recover from its deadly wound and the world will marvel after it ( Rev. 13:3)
7- The Beast has a mysterious 666 that identifies his office and name( Rev. 13:18)
8- The Beast Blasphemes by claiming to be God and grants forgiveness.
9- The Beast speaks great things ( Rev. 13:5)

Now, if we try to apply these nine points on Islam, we find that only points # (2, 3, 5 & 9) may apply.

But in order to identify the beast we have to pin point all nine points to one given entity.

Thanks.
 
Islam is the 7th head of the beast that tramples Jerusalem for 1260 years.

The great whore is Moscow which sits on 7 hills and many waters (5 seas).

Actually,
Rev 17:9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,

Where are these seven mountains?

Back in the time of John's writing there were seven hills within the confines of Rome.

" Rome, the territory of the gods, which overlooks the entire earth from seven hills." Tristium.
 
That is right. :yes

The Seven Hills of Rome (Italian: Sette colli di Roma) east of the river Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome, within the walls of the ancient city.

The seven hills are:

* Aventine Hill (Aventinus)
* Caelian Hill (Caelius)
* Capitoline Hill (Capitolinus)
* Esquiline Hill (Esquilinus)
* Palatine Hill (Palatinus)
* Quirinal Hill (Quirinalis)
* Viminal Hill (Viminalis)

No Islam is not the harlot.Jerusalem is.
It is Jerusalem who believes there is no other Jerusalem but her.She believes she is the queen.

The ten horns that shall make the whore desolate and shall burn her are ten muslim nations. :yes



Rev 17;16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,these shall hate the whore,and shall make her desolate and naked,and shall eat her flesh,and burn her with fire.

Bye Bye whore.The real queen is the city made by God.
 
The very last verse of Revelation 17 about the woman harlot says it is a "great city". That chapter's qualifiers point directly to Jerusalem in a fallen idolatrous condition.

I've often wondered what part Islam will play in the globalist's plan for a "one world government". It's important to realize western political correctness towards Islam is per a globalist perspective. Would globalists use Islam to help create a greater excuse for all nations joining into a one world government? I think so. I see their appeasement to Islam in the West for that long-range purpose.
 
No I don't think so.

From what I gather from reading the scriptures it "appears" (God forbid but I could be very wrong here)that the great whore is a symbolic picture of the church as it eventually succumbs to false doctrines and heresies. It basically becomes a prostitute that is home to all sorts of evil near the end of time. The woman sitting on the beast seems symbolic in the sense that now the foundation of the church is Satanic in nature.

Notice the woman is decked with "gold, precious stones and fine linen" Revelation 18:16
The church is built with "gold, silver and precious stones" 1 Corinthians 3:12 and these are symbolic representations of the believers in Christ... they are the gold,silver and precious stones.

The fine linen is symbolic of the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:8

Basically this woman contained the riches of the believers in Christ, it was covered by the righteous acts of the saints but in one hour it's judgment has come and all these things that made this woman special and beautiful have come to nothing because of its spiritual prostitution.

The phrase "great city" is symbolic of Jerusalem which is representative of the people of God. The people of God are the temple of God which is the church.

The beast which she rides on is Satan and he hates the church and that is why the beast eventually devours her flesh and consumes her with fire and makes her desolate. Revelation 17:16

Please take a look at 2 Thessalonians 2 and Matthew 24 as it does describe the apostasy that will occur near the time of Christ's return.
 
I think Islam could be part of it.

We have this movement happening right now. It's called ecumenicism. Basically, it's an effort to get all religions to get along and get together.

I think this is what the great whore will be, a conglomeration of all religions that sets itself up as the religious head of the world and could possibly encompass economic realms as well as "spiritual." It could very well be part of the power behind the mark of the beast in that if it is an economic center, then it would be one of the driving forces behind everyone getting the mark or you can't buy or sell.

When first relying on the literal reading of scripture (as we should always do before entertaining spiritual or symbolic meanings) I just don't see the church, especially when you consider that Revelation is ripe with OT verbiage.

Precious stones & metals and fine linen, plus the colors of scarlet and purple are all a representation of the priesthood. The priesthood represents Jerusalem, for that is where they served. Here's one example:

Ezek 16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
Ezek 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezek 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Ezek 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Ezek 16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

This Ezekiel chapter is all about Jerusalem and God's mercy toward those who inhabit her. The OT has so many references to them being the harlot, it's hard not to miss it. But both students and scholars alike seem to want to entertain their imaginations over and above that in scripture which clearly points to... Jerusalem. :shrug
 
2 Thessalonians 2: 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The Bible seems to describe the antichrist as a man. Not a nation or a religion.

Although a religion (or religious system) could be the great whore. And that religion would the Babylonian Mystery religions.

But doesn't Jerusalem represent the body of Christ?
There are a few passages in scripture that seem to allude to this.

It seems from this passage below they are all linked together Mount Zion/city of God/heavenly Jerusalem/church of the firstborn... etc.
Hebrews 12:22-23 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Also in the book of Revelation when the scriptures talk about the "new Jerusalem" it's not referring to a literal new city it's referring to the bride of Christ... the true church of God consisting of all those who have come to salvation.

Yes there is a physical city Jerusalem which was a holy city in the Old Testament but isn't this a symbolic shadow of the new testament jerusalem where the body of Christ dwells?
 
The red horse is Islam.

Zechariah 1:8
During the night I had a vision—and there before me was a man riding a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.

Zechariah 6:2
The first chariot had red horses, the second black,

Revelation 6:4
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

Revelation 9:17
The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.

The great whore or ''mother of harlots'' is Catholicism, and her daughters are the protestant denominations.

In a way that is true. But the fact is that Islam is of no account for being a prostitute because they are a pagan religion to begin with. They believe with all of their heart that they worship the God of Abraham, but the truth is that Allah, AKA Alilah has always been a Pagan god. Before the Arabs turned to Paganism they also knew the God of Abraham as Yahwah. But because Yahwah would not curse the Jews for them, His name was cursed and not to be ever spoken. That is why Mohammad did not know the name of the God of Abraham, and that is why he said: "You already believe that Allah is a god, why not believe he is the only god."

Thanks Veteran. Comparing Israel’s persistent idolatry to spiritual adultery (harlotry) is a common Old Testament theme. The eleventh chapter of Revelation may corroborate the “qualifiers†to which you allude with reference to the martyr of the two witnesses: “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Rev. 11:8).â€
