Was looking at the wording in these awhile back, Im sure not saying they go perfectly just comparing here and looking how some of the wording seems to be found elsewhere.

To keep it simple just adding a few here. If you have others to add in or are catching more please post them. I was just curious when I kept running into what appeared like the same wording. I often just sit with them for while and add more later. I left off the more obscure ^_^

Just curious if a patern can be shown here, and if any are catching a larger one (is all)

Prov 7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

Prov 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

Prov 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with
the flattering of her lips she forced him.

Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

1Thes 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:


Prov 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.


Prov 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.


Prov 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.


Prov 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.


Prov 15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.


Prov 23:27 For a harlot is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.


Prov 23:28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.


Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.


Jerm 6:7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.


Prov 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea,many strong men have been slain by her.



Again

Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.



She also says...

Prov 9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.



Prov 9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.



Prov 21:6 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.


Theres just a few

Revelation 18:4
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.



The theme of your post seemed to be about(she) as a harlot, with the exception of a couple of verses.

But with the theme of a harlot, this verse came to mind.

Yes I figured bro^_^ Thanks good verse:thumbsup:

Was loking at these too


Jerm 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.



Rev 17:1 Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters:


Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.


Rev 18:4 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.


Jerm 51:9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.


Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.



I love these types though sometimes its hard to catch some of them which apply where. Similiar wording between them though:thumbsup:

Thank you SpiritInTruth, God bless you

Yes, there is inward and outward idols (Paul being greived when he saw by sight the city was given to idolatries) can be shown both ways. But honestly... I cant even fit into one post the references to these things, they are everywhere, threaded throughout in many various ways. How on earth did I miss that? The more I looked I was like WOW!


Duet 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

Ezek 16:17-18 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, And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.


Ezek 6:9.... because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.


Duet 29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them)



Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Fourfooted beast...


Exodus 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it,


1Cr 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

1Cr 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Exodus 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.




Exodus 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

Exodus 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


Duet 16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

Jerm 44:4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.


Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

This is also noted here

Dan 5:23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:




Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:


Ezekiel 33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?



Notice (above) "possess the land" (now look below)



1Cr 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,



This quote of Pauls comes from the same place In Exodus where they made the golden calf



1Cr 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them...



He goes on to say...


1Cr 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.



And so says...



1Cr 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.



Even as John...



1John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.


Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

Jerm 50:38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.



Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Earlier a harlots forehead

Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Babylon = confusion intricately connected with images but for brevity...

Isaiah 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

Isaiah 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
Same with to be ashamed having a harlots forehead (confusion to their own faces) Jerm 7:19

Isaiah 42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
harlot, whoring in the same way, to the lust of their eyes according to their idols he speaks of as abominations

Ezek 6:9.... I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.



Duet 29:17And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them)
Isaiah 31:3 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.


Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.


Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:


1Thes 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;



Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:



Posting these because its just the way its worded (twofold here)


Lev 4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:


Acts 17:29-30 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And THE TIMES of this ignorance God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:



I have been looking at this for quite awhile and whats weird is its endless, and can be shown in many various ways. Connected to vanities, His jealousy, works of hands, lie in the hand, abominations (openly so and in the dark) and merchants of the earth too (twofold) one in the sense of by the craft they have their wealth but also that which pertains to making merchandise of you sorta thing. And not even a quarter of the scriptures are even shown here, but I was like Wow!


However the placement of these things perfectly is not mine yet. Just comparing here but the many consistent paterns (even the wording in respects to them) that pour into it are amazing really.

God bless you brother

Wow! you sure opened up the flood gate on that one. Good work.

It's amazing how one door leads to another, then another, then another.

I believe the Lord is pretty clear on worshipping Him alone, and not other things.

Good job! Can't add to that, Peace sister.

You said it bro, it was like a door that opened another door that opened another door and that was only a quarter of it!^_^

My comparisons are not perfect though, I keep trying to compare aright by feeling around the wording, but I cannot get away from idols or graven images (in any way) when it comes to her. I found that really strange I must say.

Just posting these, not for you nessesarily, but just for the heck of it. Trying to catch these better (as imperfect as they are)

Rev 17:15 he saith unto me,The waters which thou sawest,where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.


Notice how its worded...


Jerm 50:38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.



Jerm 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.


Even as covetousness is also idolatry..

But look here? How its worded?
scratchheadimagesavetoFF.gif




Isaiah 21:9 Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.




Jerm 54:47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.


Psalm 97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.


Isaiah 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.


Isaiah 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.


Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON =CONFUSION THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.


Duet 29:17And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them)


Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.


Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.


Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.


Again....


Isaiah 21:9 Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.


Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.


Now the wording these again....


Duet 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,


Duet 9:12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.


Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.


Ezek 6:9.... I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.


BABYLON =CONFUSION THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.


Duet 29:17And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them)



Jerm 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

Drunk her wine (of her fornication)

Jerm 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

Which made me think of here for some reason

Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

The nations are mad?

Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns ( ten kings ) which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.


Rev 18:4 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.

Jerm 51:9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Jerm 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

Even as covetous is also idolatry

Rev 17:15 The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Zion and Jerusalem say....

Jerm 51:35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

Rev 18:21 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.

Rev 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Jerm 51:35 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

Jerm 51:37 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

Jerm 51:60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.


Do we provoke the Lord, are we stronger then He?

Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.



Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:


Is the same Paul preached against


Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.


Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

These did

1Thes 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.


Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth arewaxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.




Act 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

Duet 29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them)


Same word here...

Duet 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:



Ezek 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

Inward idolatry too.. As these were covetousness, which is idolatry: Col 3:5


Luke 16:15 Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.


Ezek 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?


Mat 6:24.... Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


2Cr 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.


Ezek 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.


John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.


These sound oddly similiar, but Paul adresses these



Ezek 36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:


Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.


Jerm 7:30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

Whereas Jesus adressed God knowing their hearts (we being His house) covetousness being idolatry and an abomination likewise. Because it mentions escaping the pollutions of world (through lust) likewise

So I obviously havent gotten a grip on this one yet. Let me see if I can find the inward somewheres, I was cross checking it that way too.
