Revelation 18:23 “And the light of a candle
shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
When
you study the book of Revelations and search for answers you will find a lot of
disagreement. This is true in most of the scriptures, but it is most certain in
“The book That is Yet to Be, Revelations”. Our church has had two multiple year
studies thru this Prophetic Book. I have worked extremely hard to study this
book, using M.L. Moser Jr as my reference. Brother Moser has a Study Guide to
this book; it is not a lot of commentary but an outline of the entire book.
Chapters 17 and 18 are talking about the New Babylon which is described as Catholicism
or the Great Harlot or the Scarlet-Colored Woman. While I am not going to get a
lot into this topic, she (the Catholic church) is prominent in the world and
still has much power and control. Almost 99% of the worlds so-called Christian
population adheres themselves to Catholicism as the “Mother Church”. They deny Jerusalem
as the Mother Church and attest that it is Catholicism and testify that she
started in Acts chapter two, but there is not one single piece evidence that
any church started in Acts Two! However, we must assume that most all these
churches that assume her to be the Mother Church will follow her lead. If you
read chapter 17, I believe the Holy Spirit through John describes the Great Harlot
as the Catholic Church, without question. I also believe that the small “Protestant”
churches are little harlots (Protestant) churches are selling themselves to the
world as religious Harlots for a profit. 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love
of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have
erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”.
Chapter 18 of Revelations shows the fall of the modern-day Babylon, once the Great
Harlot gathers all the little harlots into one fold, she will sleep with the
False Prophet and the Anti-Christ in helping control and establishment a one
world religion on the earth. If you look at the religionist-Christians today
you already see many of them as Harlot with the world to profit themselves,
their churches, and their bank accounts. “For the love of money is the root
of all evil…” The Anti-Christ and False Prophet by the authority and power of
the Great Dragon (Satan) will through Islam and Catholicism control 2/3 of the world’s
religious population leaving only about a 1/3 for the False Prophet to deliver.
It will all be controlled by MONEY which the Anti-Christ will control. Again, money
will be the controlling factor, and therefore the word Harlot is used. Chapter 18
deals with the Great Harlot’s destruction, God said “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it
into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be
thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” Verse 21 Then God told us
how she, the Anti-Christ, The False Prophet, and Satan would deceive the
people, “…for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” This word sorceries means
a few things, witchcraft and magic but is also means medication or drugs. Most people focus on the witchcraft and magic and
eliminate the drug aspect. However, the Greek word for sorceries is pharmakeia which is
where we get our word pharmacy which is where we get our drugs. However, witchcraft,
magic, and drugs are all designed to make you hallucinate
or to control your mind into believing something true or not true. Once a
person is hooked on a habit of this sort they can almost never stop, and they would
sell their soul (if they could) to get it. I have never been against something
that is medically needed, and anything that is prescribed by a real and responsible
doctor helps people with pain then so-be-it. However, medical use of Marijuana
today is for habit usage and not medical usage. It is like pain pills they are habit
and people will do whatever is needful to get them. The conversation has been
debated for years to legalize Marijuana, saying it is just an herb and it is harmless,
and the worst one of all, it is no different than alcohol. While it is true
that there in not much difference, both alter the mind, and both will cause you
to do things you would normally not do to get it. The great push for legalization
is two-fold, (1.) for the tax money, and (2.) to control the people that use
it. Most of the time using Marijuana leads to harder drugs, pain pills, meth, heroin,
etc. All of these are designed to alter the mindset (1.) by Satan and (2.) by
the people pushing to sell it. These little Harlots called protestant churches
who prostitute themselves out to the wishes of the world bring legalization to
the pulpits in support as they do with most of Satan’s desires. Satan is
setting the world up for a take-over in the Tribulation Period and he will use
drugs to assist in this takeover. Remember God said “…for by thy
sorceries were all nations deceived.” And “For the love of money is
the root of all evil:” because both will be controlling factors in taking
over the world, and your government is not excluded. NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER
TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT! Our government in the USA is full of evil, while some
Presidents of the past have claimed to be Christians and could have been, but
it is hard to believe that many could have been. God calls them His servants in
Romans 13, but not servants of righteousness. However, He does calls them “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil…” v.3 I
believe our government was designed by God to bring the world into the
Tribulation Period and therefore the world leaders including Presidents are
used in time to bring in this time. Now the legalization of Marijuana is
a legal way to control the population and alter their minds. Never doubt the government
to give you drugs in a vaccine or in some other form to control you. Money and
Drugs are both controlling. Never take a drug that is not needed for pain or
medical help and only take what you absolutely need. And never love money, both
will cause you to disobey the Lord and cause you to whore yourself to the world
and Satan for them.
