The Whore in Ezekiel 16:25

[Snowcat]

Ezekiel 16:25 You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.

Any thoughts from the posters here as to who this whore is and what her demonic doctrines are?
Is it possible that there are any world-wide satillite network ministries or churches in America that fit this description?

post the entire chapter as ezekiel generally addresses the remain jews in jerusalem. and also in exile. that verse seems to be the case
The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her detestable practices 3 and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. 4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. 5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.
6 “‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!â€[a] 7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.

8 “‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine.

9 “‘I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. 10 I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. 11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. 14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD.

15 “‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his. 16 You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, where you carried on your prostitution. You went to him, and he possessed your beauty. 17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them. 18 And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense before them. 19 Also the food I provided for you—the flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat—you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign LORD.

20 “‘And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? 21 You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. 22 In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood.

23 “‘Woe! Woe to you, declares the Sovereign LORD. In addition to all your other wickedness, 24 you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine in every public square. 25 At every street corner you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by. 26 You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger with your increasing promiscuity. 27 So I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were shocked by your lewd conduct. 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied. 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia,[c] a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.

30 “‘I am filled with fury against you,[d] declares the Sovereign LORD, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute! 31 When you built your mounds at every street corner and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

No, it is written to chastise and warn Jerusalem...at the time.

Uh, I'm sure we all have Bibles here.

Is your answer that this Whore was only in the OT? If so, then who is the nasty Whore in Revelation 17-18?
:D

:D

that isnt the same whore, btw? and that isnt the reference. and i posted the verses to show my case that you cherry pick a verse to make your point, the audience of that prophecy simply cant be ignored.

why? the lord wanted them to repent. that isnt the case with the whore of babylon, she doesnt repent and is in fact destroyed, and this whore come backs to occupy the land approx 70 yrs after her exile.

and to my knowledge she is jerusalem, but that doesnt mean this verse supports that or your idea.

 

[Snowcat]

Alabaster and Jasoncran evidently have not read I Peter 1:10-12 - to paraphrase:

The prophets did not speak unto themselves, but unto us did they minister.

:o...Wo Mama.

To cut to the chase, the Whore or "Mistress of Witchcrafts" of Nahum 3:3-4 is every ministry out there in which if you follow them you are on your way to the grave.

John 8:51 He who keeps my sayings shall never see death.

Not Jerusalem...but the world's system of commerce that the nations bow down to.

well let see here, i have read the bible and one doesnt cherry pick the bible to make doctrines that you like. have i done this,

wow so we were in jerusalem and in sin? there is a lesson to be learned from that time and that is what peter meant. if we take all the prophecies then like you do then we got some repenting to do for things like

failing to offer sacrifices
failing to feed the widows, the fatherless
lude acts while pastors/priests
defiling ourselves with chemoth, baal etc

and where are those gods worshipped these days?

lol, nahum 3
Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robbery; the prey departeth not;


Nah 3:2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.


Nah 3:3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:


Nah 3:4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.


Nah 3:5 ¶ Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.


Nah 3:6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.


Nah 3:7 And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, NINEVAH is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee

wow, just wow.

that has nothing to do with what you are trying to say.

jersusalem is the whore at first and then now ninevah?

babylon is what you are refering to , but the whore is something else.

 

[jasoncran]

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you:


1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.


1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.


1Pe 1:13 ¶ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;


1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:


1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;


1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.


1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:


1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;


1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:


1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,


1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.


NO, that is also out of context the chapters stated are in reference to when the prophets wrote of christ alone in the ot. not all verses are about his comming the first time or his nature, or the end time return.

jason. do you believe in the Spiritual Interpretations of the Bible?

 

[Alabaster]

babylon is what you are refering to , but the whore is something else.

Yes, you are right. The whore of Babylon is an evil world system, controlled by the Antichrist, during the last days before Jesus’ return. The whore of Babylon also has religious connotations – spiritual adultery with the beast being the focus of an ungodly, end-times religious system. Many say she represents Rome, and others say Jerusalem, but no one knows for certain.

 

[jasoncran]

jason. do you believe in the Spiritual Interpretations of the Bible?

only when its obvious and other verse that refer to back it up.

for instance to understand the book of revalation fully (as much as possible) its needful to understand the literaly devices used by john and also what the ot says in other areas.

that doesnt mean the numbers are 'spiritual and dont count things to be'

for instance the 144,000 and also when it says the 4 and 20 elders.

So what is your literal or spiritual interpretation of THE WHORE in the Book of Revelation?

:yes

:yes

me. most likely the city of jersusalem will be involved in a world wide setup of a false religion.

ie maybe secular humanism. most jews of today in isreal arent reall followers of the torah.

 

[Snowcat]

i believe its jerusalem but i do agree with that statement.

You are both wrong.

Revelation 18 states the Merchants or Kings of the Earth were made rich by her delicasies. Read all of it.

The Whore is the Worldly Church System who prostitutes the Gospel.

No one is really wrong. She certainly isn't the Church, and as long as you aren't pointing to her, it doesn't bother me what you think.

and? secular humanism does that as well.

you can have your own core beliefs and not have to worry about what is right or wrong as you define it!
