"A SCARLET-COLOURED WILD BEAST THAT WAS
FULL OF BLASPHEMOUS NAMES AND THAT HAD
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS". (From Rev 17:3. NWT).
 

"And he carried me away in the power of the spirit into a wilderness. And I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns." (Rev 17:3 NWT).

  

AN EXPLANATION OF THE ILLUSTRATION:
The symbolic 'wild beast' is shown covered with names of political rulers; those who are scripturally described as blasphemous because they get their influential authority over mankind from the dragon satan. (Rev 13:1,2). The 'ten horns' with blasphemous names are the members of the United Nations organisation. The Will of God is that only His chosen anointed priests are to serve mankind.

The woman with the 'golden cup' in her hand that was 'full of disgusting things' and the unclean things of her fornication' represents 'Babylon the great', the mother of the harlots'. (Rev 17:4,5 NWT). The 'harlots' are false religions throughout the world today; more concerned with financial profit-making from property and other commercial dealings such as stock market shares, and who give their support to politicians. Many of them are politicians themselves. The Word of God makes known that the political 'beast' finally makes her 'devastated and naked' and 'eats up her fleshy parts'. (Rev 17:16 NWT).

The 'mother', her false religious 'harlots,' and their spiritual fornication, are symbolic of the original 'Babylon', where more than fifty idolatrous deities were originally worshipped, the spirit activity of which has been handed down through the generations. Today, human (dungy) idols are worshipped.

The picture illustrates just some of the many sectarian 'harlots' today that have their ears 'tickled' by smooth communicators within false religions inspired by demons (2 Timothy 4:3), and of certain (unnamed) kings (shown as cut-outs) that have made themselves rich within commercial Babylon. The three frogs shown pulling them along through time represent 'unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.' (Rev 16:13). Frogs cleanse waters, but are here used symbolically to show false uninspired 'waters' that 'harlot' religions give people to 'drink'. The starving child with his begging bowl is the result of God sending certain unGodly nations His 'four families' of drought, famine, plague, and sword (wars). (Jer 15:2,3 NWT). The man shown in outlandish dress represents religious charities always begging, against the active Will of God.
