The woman is described as that great city Revelation 17:18 mentions a woman which John saw in a vision given to him by one of the seven angels which came out of the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven filled with the glory of God. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17:18) The woman John saw in the vision was described to him by the angel as “that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Although this city has fallen captive to the demonic powers of the prince of this world, this great city isn’t a spiritual kingdom. (Revelation 18:2) There’s only one great city in the vision described in both Revelation chapters 17 and 18. This great city will be shown to be a preeminent superpower nation-state, not a religion or spiritual influence. The common description of Babylon the Great in both Revelation 17 & 18 proves that there’s one Babylon, not two Babylons. This one Babylon is described in both chapters as: That great city (Revelation 17:18; 18:10,18-19) Having a golden cup and arrayed in purple, scarlet, precious stones and pearls (Revelation 17:4, 18:16) Intoxicating the kings of the earth with her fornication (Revelation 17:2,18:3) Filled with martyrs for Christ (Revelation 17:6,18:24) Ultimately burned by fire according to God’s judgment (Revelation 17:16,18:8) This study seeks to understand the description of the woman or “great city” whose forehead John envisioned labeled BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5) Why is the Greek Textus Receptus used in this study? The King James English translation of the scripture used in this study is based upon the traditional received Greek text known as the Textus Receptus. It’s based on the vast majority (90%) of the over 5000 existing Greek manuscripts. The Holy Spirit spoke the common dialect of the Roman Empire, Koine Greek, in inspiring the scripture to John. In Revelation 17:18, the Greek Textus Receptus reads: και 2532 η 3588 γυνη 1135 ην 3739 ειδες 1492 εστιν 2076 η 3588 πολις 4172 η 3588 μεγαλη 3173 η 3588 εχουσα 2192 βασιλειαν 932 επι 1909 των 3588 βασιλεων 935 της 3588 γης 1093 . The numbers are Strong’s codes which can be used to find the definition of the root of each word shown. The KJV looks like this:
And 2532 the 3588 woman 1135 which 3739 thou sawest 1492 is 2076 that great 3173 city, 4172 which reigneth 2192, 932 over 1909 the 3588 kings 935 of the 3588 earth. One word in English doesn’t necessarily represent the full range of meaning of a word in Greek. Since every word of scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17) was originally inspired by God in Koine Greek, it’s full meaning is best communicated in Greek. For example, in determining who the woman in Revelation 17:18 is, we must first understand the full meaning of the English words great, city, is, and reigneth. “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city which reigneth over the k ings of the earth.” By using the English definitions of the original Greek words given by the Holy Spirit to John in his recording of the vision, we are able to receive a fuller, more complete understanding of each English word used in describing the vision. Moral truth is determined only by scripture We live in a day when the majority opinion rules and most everyone wants to remain accepted by their peers in the flow of the mainstream. This problem isn’t new because human nature hasn’t changed. Even professing Christians are caught up in the world’s herd mentality. During the ministry of the Paul the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 1:12 tells us that people were following the opinions of great teachers like Apollos. Today we follow great teachers of the past and present depending upon our denominational or theological bent. These gifted men are given to the church for her edification. Their teaching can be of great help to the believer seeking to grow in their knowledge of God’s Word. The Lord, however, never intended for anyone’s own private misinterpretation of his truth to usurp authority over the correct interpretation of the truth. For this reason, the church is responsible to evaluate the teaching of gifted men against the clear teaching of his word. The acceptability of church teaching, attitudes and actions is to be determined only from the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ and his apostles found only in the 66 books of scripture. Truth isn’t to be determined by comparing ourselves against any other individual person or group of people inside or outside any period of church history. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joine d together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent
