Nonsense. Rome is the seven hilled city as is well known. It is her claim and there are Roman coins and papal medals showing her as woman sitting on seven hills.

(Revelation) 17:18AKJV
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Jerusalem reigneth not when Revelation was written. Rome reigned then and some say it still does. Avro Manhattan for instance said the RCC is the hidden government of the USA. Keeping her out of wars when it suited her and into them when it did. For instance Vietnam where it drew the USA into war to support a vile Catholic dictator. .

Jerusalem does not sit on many waters which are defined as "peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues" (a.k.a 'catholic', which means 'universal') - Revelation 17:15.

New Jerusalem is the thesis. Babylon the Great is the antithesis. Both are called cities. New Jerusalem is a city of gold, precious stones and pearls (Revelation 21:10-11 & 18-21). The harlot is "..gilded with gold, precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her FORNICATION" (Revelation 17:4).

If New Jerusalem consists of faithful Christians and is catholic, then Babylon the Great consists of unfaithful Christians, and is catholic. She rules over the kings of the earth who commit fornication with her (Revelation 17:2, 18). Christ rules over the kings of the earth who are faithful (Revelation 1:5).

The same angel who called to John and said, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." (Revelation 21:9), called to John and said, "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot sitting on many waters." (Revelation 17:1).

The only entities the Revelation indicts for FORNICATION are Jezebel and her followers of the Christian church at Thyatira, whom Jesus warns He will throw her and them into GREAT TRIBULATION unless they repent, as well as Babylon the Great, and the kings of the earth who commit fornication with her.

Jerusalem is not catholic and does not reign over any of those whom the Revelation calls "the kings of the earth" whom Revelation 1:5 says Christ reigns over and Revelation 17:18 says the harlot reigns over. Those "kings of the earth" who commit fornication with the harlot will weep and wail over her demise and are therefore hardly the same as the ten kings who will "hate the harlot, render her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire".​

The word "clearly" clearly does not fit with the above statement, IMO. It fits with post #43.

So if believers go to heaven for 100 years, where is Jesus and what is going on in earth.
Jesus accomplished the way back to God through Him at the cross. When Jesus returns .... He returns in full glory. When He returns the 1st resurrection happens .... all the saved go to heaven. Those left on earth (the lost) are destroyed by the brightness of His coming. They will be resurrected in the 2nd resurrection (1,000) years later and things play out from there.

2 Thessalonians 2

New King James Version
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

During the Millennium we (the resurrected saved in heaven) will be allowed to go through the records God has been keeping since earth began (Revelation 20:12). God is going to read the records and has judgee the case of every person who’s ever lived, and we get to hear it all. The books of the lost will be opened for all in heaven to see that God judged with perfect righteous judgement.

During this time the judgement of the wicked dead is revealed (to the saved in heaven); the earth is utterly desolate, without living human inhabitants, but occupied by satan and his angels.

1 Corinthians 6

King James Bible
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Satan and his minions (fallen angels) are bound for the 1,000 years .... in that satan and his minions have nobody to tempt .... they are the only ones left on desolate earth.

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life (1st resurrection) and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended (2nd resurrection).

This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years” (Revelation 20:1-6).

Do you believe in a future literal human man that will fulfill Daniel's (Little Horn) Paul's (Man Of Sin) John's (The Beast)?

Please Explain?
Truth
Sorry, just today I noticed you post. Yes I would be happy to explain, but first I need some clarification. With respect to the "little horn" are you referring to Dan.7 or the horn in Dan.8? With respect to John's "beasts" are you referring to beast from the sea, or the one coming out of the earth?

I was referring to Daniel 7:11 as being John's beast of the sea in Revelation 13:1

The beast of the sea will be a future literal human man known as (The Beast)

The beast of the earth will be a future literal human man known as (The False Prophet)

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Mystery, Babylon the Great is the mystical (non flesh and blood) kingdom of Satan and his angels.

The woman turned harlot is the Vatican, associated with the city of Rome. She, herself, though is not Mystery Babylon the Great, neither is Jerusalem. Different individual men though associated with both Rome and Jerusalem have been influenced by the Devil and his angels. Some of which, Jesus called serpents, sons of the Devil.

But that doesn't mean that every, nor most, Jews nor Roman Catholics are evil, but instead seek to follow righteousness and do many good deeds.

The main theme of Revelation is the destruction of Satan and his angels kingdom of Mystery, Babylon the Great, the source of sin and all who have been slain upon the earth. And God bringing the kingdom of Heaven to this earth, to be reigned over by His Son and our Lord and Savior - Jesus.

We will be so much more happy in life and see our purpose when we align ourselves with God's great plan and God Himself - as we watch in wonder, love, and worship of Him..

Who were the ones who sought Jesus's death influenced by the Devil to do so ? Do you remember reading about Jesus being tempted in wilderness by Satan, who wanted Jesus to jump off the high place ? What do you think was the real reason Satan wanted Jesus to do that ?

In Revelation 12:4, who sought to have Jesus killed as soon as he was born?

Babylon is fallen, is fallen is not talking about Jerusalem, nor the Vatican.

(Jerusalem) Is The harlot, Mystery Babylon The Great.

The Levitical High Priest Dressing represents "The Woman", that is dressed in purple, scarlet, gold, and precious stones as seen below

(Revelation) 17:4KJV

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:

Yes "The Woman", The Levitical High Priest, Dressed In Purple, Scarlet, Gold, And Precious Stones

(Exodus) 28:15-20KJV
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

(Jerusalem) is the seven Mount city, where the woman sits, not Rome as many falsely claim.

(Revelation) 17:9KJV

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

List of cities claimed to be built on seven hills - Wikipedia
Jerusalem, Israel: Jerusalem's seven hills are Mount Scopus, Mount Olivet and the Mount of Corruption (all three are peaks in a mountain ridge that lies east of the Old City), Mount Ophel, the original Mount Zion, the New Mount Zion and the hill on which the Antonia Fortress was built.

The Roman Empire didnt exist to be guilty of the Prophets blood seen below, Jerusalem did.

(Revelation) 18:24KJV

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

(Matthew) 23:29-37KJV
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Jerusalem (The Woman) that (Great City) as seen below, Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified

(Revelation) 17:18AKJV

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

(Revelation) 11:8AKJV
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Jews/Hebrews cast dust upon their heads, weeping for the (Great City) Jerusalem

(Revelation) 18:19 AKJV

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Jerusalem is not destroyed. Zechariah 14.

Jerusalem is never referred to as Babylon in the bible.

Babylon is fallen is fallen. Satan and his angels will be cast down to earth. Their mystical kingdom of Mystery, Babylon the Great is what is going to be destroyed.

Which came first - Satan and his angels, or Jerusalem and the Pharisees ?

The kings of the earth were the Jewish leaders, not the Roman leaders in the New Testament.

The Temple Tax
Matthew 17:
24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”
25“Yes,” he answered.
When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”
26“From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared. 27“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”

The following was fulfilled in Jerusalem.

Acts 4:25You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David:
‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
26The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the Lord
and against His Anointed One.’
27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

The kings of the earth, Herod and Pilate?. Pilate was a Roman who tried to free Jesus. Herod returned Jesus to Pilate.

Anyway that is nothing to do with the city of the seven hills that was ruling at the time Revelation was written. Rome is well known as the city of the seven hills. When was Jeruszlem called that? Or New York or Baghdad or Tokyo or whatever someone comes up with to deny what scripture means.

2 Thessalonians 2:4 makes it clear there must be a new Temple in Jerusalem, during the end times.
Any argument against a new Temple, is wrong.
It's your argument that is wrong, keras. There will not be constructed any new den of thieves a 3rd temple as you imagine and suppose it will.
It will be dedicated to God, as stated and it will be the Christian peoples who will build it. As Ezekiel 40 to 46 describes.
What God? you mean the Devil, the red dragon? 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 combined with Revelation 12:9? an eddomite?

JEWS said to JESUS:
- We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. John 8:v.41KJV
- JESUS said to the Jews:
- If GOD were your Father...John 8:v.42KJV ( If???? hum!!!)
- JESUS said to the Jews: Why do ye not understand my speech? John 8:v.43
- JESUS openly and emphaticaly said to the Jews:
Ye are of your father the Devil..., John 8:v.44. -

By the way, in Revelation 12:v.9KJV , JESUS said:
9 - And the great Dragon (the red Dragon) was (will be) cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world(I see you have been deceived, keras. Be careful): he was cast out into the earth, and his messengers were cast out with him.

By the way, "red Dragon" is the new name of the Devil in this time of Apocalypse.

There is no need for anyone to wrangle over whether Rome or Jerusalem was sitting on seven hills. They both were. The Revelation 13 Roman Sea Beast was connected with the seven hills in Rome. The other Revelation 17 Judean Scarlet Beast was connected with the seven hills of Jerusalem. They aren't the same beast.

As Psalms 125:2 once said, "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth even for ever.".

And as Ed Parenteau wrote above, the "kings of the earth" were the Jewish leaders in Israel - specifically the high priests. These high priest "kings of the earth" were the ones who rose up and "took counsel together against the Lord, and against His anointed", desiring to "cast away their cords from us". This was NOT descriptive of either Herod or Pilate, who pronounced Christ innocent and desired to free him if he could. It was Annas and Caiphas as the high priest "kings of the earth" who led this conspiracy to put Christ to death.

In John's days of writing Revelation, Jerusalem truly was reigning over the high priest "kings of the earth".

Hint: Since the phrase "kings of the earth" in scripture applies to the high priests of the land of Israel, and since no high priest "kings of the earth" have been appointed since AD 70's end, then any prophecy which includes that "kings of the earth" phrase MUST have taken place while there were still high priest "kings of the earth" around in Israel to perform those predicted actions.

Jerusalem has never been known as sitting on seven hills. Rome has, and calls itself such. Jerusalem didn't rule when the book of Revelation was written, Rome did. Jerusalem was in ruins when Revelation was written.
Right. Actually Revelation was written around 65 years after JESUS's ascension, Jerusalem was in complete ruins as you say above. By the way, the Jews was scattered around the world from 70AD until 1948, 1878 years of severe curses, and plagues, and great chastisements, according to the LITERAL fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68, 53 verses of cursings against Israel.

About seven hills, Scripture reveals they represent the 7 heads of the Beast of sea(waters-actually a Gentile Beast), on which the woman sitteth. In fact, the woman rides upon the Gentile Beast having 7 heads(hills)-Rev.17:15-The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot-the woman- sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

But the 7 heads of the Beast represent besides 7 hills, also 7 specific "kings" not out but within the satanic religious structures of the Beast(the Papacy), but according Scripture we have a detail: five kings are fallen(died), and one is-(the sixth)-and from this one-THE SIXTH "KING" begins LITERALLY to fulfill this prophetic revelation), and the other (THE SEVENTH AND LAST) is not yet come; and when he cometh(we must perceive that exactly in this point six "kings" fallen), he, the seventh, must continue a short space (i.e. 1260 days or 42 months, no more, no more, as was foreseen by the Word of GOD ).

NOTE: One of the 7 heads of the Beast of sea will be wounded to death by a Sword(the Word of GOD)-Rev.13:3-,and his deadly wound was healed(how?Revelation 13:2): and all the world wondered after the Beast.


The question is: who are the seven "kings" not out but within the satanic religious structures of the Gentile Beast of sea(the Papacy), upon which rides the woman, the Roman Catholic Church?


There are Roman coins showing her sitting on seven hills.was here any such depiction of Jerusalem.
Right. By the way, there will be TWO DISTINCTS MAN Beasts operating in the earth in this current time of Apocalypse, time of the end(1Corinthians 15:24-28.Take a look.) The Gentile MAN Beast of sea - Revelation 13:1-10, and the Jewish MAN Beast of the earth having two horns like a lamb (a false lamb, in fact a false messiah)-Rev.13:11-18 combined with John 5:43-47, and 2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 and 9-12. Terrible. Terrible.

Some have questioned "If Revelation was written after AD70 why doesn't John mention the destruction of the temple and the war." The answer is that John was only writing what He heard, He saw, And what he did, that is acting out what the church would do. It only concerned the church. It was the revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to him. REV 1:1
