“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyr’s of Jesus, and when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment.” Comment: So who is the whore? Here is what Coffman’s Commentary says, “The description of the whore was once the true church of God!.” John Gill’s Expository; “The blood thirstiness of the Church of Rome.” Commentary Critical and Explainitary of the Whole Bible; “The church becoming a world loving Apostate, moves his sorrowful astonishment at a sorrowful change.” Vincenti Word Studies; “The testimony of Jesus Christ has been the cause of their deaths.” Wesley’s Expository Notes; “So that Rome may be called, ‘The slaughter house of the Martyrs.” There are many more commentaries if you want to do a more detailed study! Remember John the Baptist was martyred at Jerusalem! How about Stephen! So here the Jews were the whore riding the horse! How about Babylon? The future Anti-Christ with his False Prophet will be ruling the entire world during the seven year tribulation period just before Christ’s second coming! Our Savior is a Jew faithful and true! Remember the church is also represented by a woman! The church is the Bride of Christ! With every generation and in the 21st Century you have the Bride and you have the whore! In America today we have some major denominations giving leadership in the church to homosexuals, transgenders and lesbians? This is the whore! I heard the prayer in the congress this week by a Chaplin that throughout his whole prayer never mentioned the name of Jesus? He called it the people’s house but without Jesus it will never be God’s House! The best defense and offense is to know the Holy Scripture of your Bible! This will keep you out of apostacy! You can discern the evil spirits of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Darwinism, socialism, atheism and every other man made religion on this planet! You see the difference between every mortal on earth and Jesus Christ is that Christ was both man and God! This fact separates him from all mortals! The 21 Coptic Christians who were beheaded for their faith in Christ knew and understood that their future was not in the hands of men but with Christ and him alone! We live by faith and we die by faith for the one who has promised to raise us from the dead! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
