Babylon is fallen - the Vatican - Mike Pence and the abuse of children

They have power and wealth in abundance. In order to think to satisfy their insatiable lust, they turn to the forbidden fruit.

"It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."
{Luke 17:2}

MYSTERY BABYLON

The seven headed beast of Revelation 17:

"Here is the mind which has wisdom"

The heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel 7;

1st < Babylon
2nd < Medo-Persia
3rd < Greece
4th < Pagan Rome
5th < Papal Rome; the little horn
("that was" & "is not" & "yet is")
6th < "one is"
^
The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME AND PLACE of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS.
(Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.)

7th < "is not yet come"

At the time of John's vision in the wilderness, this head of the beast was yet to come; this is the beast from out of the earth [Rev 13:11];
(And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon.

This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him.

I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time".

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
{Revelation 17:8}

:11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition.

--There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the five kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed.

This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom.

This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft.

The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound.
(When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.)

Jesus;
(The resurrection; Jn 11:25)  Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888

by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration;
I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200).

In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail.

The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord.

A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God.

The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed.

The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft.
Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other.

This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state.

Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen

Here is wisdom (from God)

Let him that has understanding COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST: for it is the number of --a-- man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.
{Revelation 13:18}

And he said unto them, "Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own TRADITION."

“Making the word of God of none effect through your TRADITION, which you have delivered: and many such like things you do.” 
{Mark 7:9&13}

But he answered and said unto them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your TRADITION?” 
{Matthew 15:3}

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
{Colossians 2:8}

Typology:
☆Tradition; Greek παράδοσις/paradosis = 666
by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration;
P(80), A(1), R(100), A(1), D(4), O(70), S(200), I(10), S(200).

"Vicarius Filii Dei" is the beast mocking (Blaspheming) God, but it does not lead one to the knowledge of the mark of the beast as does the 'tradition' of men.
Sunday worship is of the traditions and commandments of men.
(The phrase was not even present in our vocabulary until 753 A.D.)

Typology of Babylon:
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
{Daniel 6:5}

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his IMAGE, (Church and State, Spiritual and Temporal Powers.) and over his MARK, (Sunday Law) and over the NUMBER (666) of his NAME (Tradition), stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
{Revelation 15:1-2}

--Obviously you can not have victory over the beast, unless you are here on earth to live through it.

"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
{Matthew 15:8-9}

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
{Titus 1:16}

'Catholic Record' September 1 1923

"Sunday is our MARK of authority....The church is above the bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact."
^
This is the beast thinking to change times and laws of God.

Wherefore come out from among them, and BE YE SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
{2 Corinthians 6:17}

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of HER FORNICATION, and THE KING'S OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED FORNICATION WITH HER, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities
{Revelation 18:4-5}
