Mystery Babylon/False Religion
Antibride/The Great Whore
The Seductress:
Gateway into the
Antichrist Kingdom
False religion,
Mystery Babylon, The AntiBride, The Great Whore - every name is fitting,
call her what you will. Dub the spirit of infidelity and whorish idolatry
a she, call it a religion, an "it" if you wish - whatever label
one uses this ancient conspirator/spirit remains to this day the gateway
for mankind's entrance into the religion of the world. It is the universal
religion found in various form and theological hybrid around the globe and
on every continent. She is the conduit by which mankind most easily falls
in league with the Antichrist and his earthly dominion. She is that Mystery
Babylon which is in opposition to the true religion of God. She is
the goddess of man-styled religion, the word derived from two latin words, reo and legare
- to bind again - she is the one through fornication and idolatry which
is able to bind man to slavery and death by her toxic brews and bogus beliefs.
This spirit of religion is committed to a personal
alliance with the Antichrist. He is able to use her like a puppet master, though
she deludes herself into thinking she can use it. Over the course of history
she has sometimes risen up against her master in attempted coupes to control
the destiny of mankind and gain its worship for herself. Each time she has
attempted a take-over, as with the medieval papacy for example, she has failed
and the spirit of Antichrist has gained back control using her for its diabolical
purposes, ensnaring mankind in its web of rebellion and blasphemy against the
God of creation. In compliance and collusion with the Antichrist's ill-conceived
and ultimately doomed rebellion against God and all that is in heaven, the
Whorish religion has had a fabulous reign over the hearts of men. That reign,
however, is about to end, not until, however, it helps the Antichrist to lead
the whole earth into rebellion for one more fantastic and desperate attempt
to try and steal Man's love away from God.
The Antichrist conspiracy, with
its false religion is the sworn enemy of God. Satan, Antichrist and the Whore
(finally personified by the False Prophet of Revelation) comprise the trio,
an unholy trinity of desperados who are destined to lead the world and its
duped followers to Armageddon and the final ill-fated war against God and the
everlasting kingdom of Jesus Christ, Savior, Lamb of God and eternal King of
kings.
We now embark on the examination
of a vast and complex conspiracy of Antichrist elements which have had a long
running effect upon the history and life of the Church of Jesus Christ. The
Antichrist is the enemy seeking to do its 'father's works' of robbing, destroying
and killing all faith in God. The Whore, Mystery Babylon has often conducted
its dirty business from within the congregation of God's people, an idolatrous
presence with powerful spiritual delusion of sorcery and witchcraft which has
dragged down many an unsuspecting and callous would-be believer of truth. The
'Great Whore" has proven to be a most dangerous enemy to the churches
with influence equal to or near to that of the Antichrist or Satan himself.
This spirit of idolatry is a formidable menace to salvation and even today
is a true nemesis of the spirit of brideship and all spirit of fidelity toward
Christ and God. This enemy is the gatekeeper of idolatry. Every Christian should
seek to identify her and know what it takes to ward off her unsavory advances.
That is the prime purpose of this section of our website. She brings unsuspecting
Christians into a false way which not only impedes their perfection and worthiness
before God but is also designed to undo their health, sap them of the general
health given to the believer by overall salvation, primarily by entangling
them in the affairs of this life and distracting them from the spiritual life
in Christ.
As the woman closely associated
with the Antichrist she amounts to The AntiBride, seducing as many
as she can into the waiting arms of her most cruel abusive lover who really
hates them and intends to lure them to their death. The unknowing soul will
pin all hope and affection upon the transient things of this unworthy love
affair driving them through encouraging lust into chasing the temporary riches
of this fading world. As the Antibride the Whore is the gatekeeper into the
world of the Antichrist. He uses her to promote an illicit affair and relationship
with him. He is that abominable one, the 'son of perdition', who is the devoted
servant of the Devil, the 'prince' of this world. The Whore is the subject
of chapters seventeen and eighteen of Revelation. Understanding her persona,
spirit, mission and power is extremely important for the true believer because
its spirit can infect the spirit of Brideship to the point of causing sickness
and even death if it is not properly avoided, if the Whore's advances are not
entirely checked and refuted. So important is the knowledge of her existence
and sorceries that God has devoted two whole chapters in the final book of
the Bible to her. It only makes sense that we give it full attention. We need
to take God’s words about her very seriously and not shy away from any truth,
no matter how hard-hitting or offensive it may seem to our manners and Christian
sensitivity. In this portion of ThePhiladelphiaFaith.org we try to
warn the believer about her. We offer this as an expose', hoping that it may
not only be effective in making the aspiring Bride wise to the ways and operations
of the AntiBride, but also by careful comparison those who seek righteous standing
with God may gain insight into the good conduct and faith that befits the true
Bride of Christ.
Within this section we not only expose the AntiBride
and her historical roots but we provide a subsection entitled "The Wine
of Her Fornication" (a reference to the remark in Revelation that she
has made the inhabitants of the earth drunk on her vile doctrines and lies)
which devotes a group of related articles denoting the more heretical and common
doctrines which she has weaved into the fabric of the churches faith by her
sinister witchcraft and sorceries. In Revelation the believer is told to repent
of any sorcery or deception he or she has bit on. Where ever we have been taken
in by them of involved in their adherence we are to righteously reject them.
The spirit of the Bride will do so; because she has the righteous 'fear of
the Lord' and the fear of the Lord, we are told in Proverbs, is to hate evil.
