King James Version
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.
Which city on seven hills is the Book of Revelation referring to?
It's a recent study SPIRIT gave me to look into.
With the way the world is turning out, I know it's mighty important.
Further, if it was not important, it would not have been ONE whole chapter.
To better understand this prophecy, let's look into that chapter:
Revelation 17
King James Version
17 And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials,
and talked with me, saying unto me,
Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
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.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns.
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:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
Mystery, Babylon The Great,
The Mother Of Harlots
And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel?
I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her,
which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 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.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings:
five are fallen, and one is,
and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet;
but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind,
and shall give their power and strength
unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me,
The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore,
and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will,
and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,
which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Rome is the city the Bible refers to.
Istanbul is trying to get into the scene, too.
I also noticed more CITIES on SEVEN hills.
I just follow where SPIRIT leads me.
For now, I present to you my initial findings.
Curiously, an article came up today.
As if to assist me in my writing.
It's a "curious" article, for what is an aviation blog doing looking into "The Seven Mountains and Seven Heads"?
What does an aviation site have to do with the Book of Revelation?
Curious, indeed.
Expect another post to dig deeper into these findings.
Today, this post merely serves as framework.
There is much work to do, and I'm on it.
Why?
We are in the end times.
The Rapture is imminent.
It's all preparation now.
Where do you stand?
Are you FOR, or against GOD?
That's really the bottomline.
That dictates the personal future you will have.
