CHAPTER XXVIII
THE HARLOT AND THE BEAST
"Then one of the seven Angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying, 'Come here, I will show you the condemnation of the great harlot (humanity), who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and they who dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication'" (Rev. 17:1, 2).
"And he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a red beast (the great beast, whose number is 666), full of names of blasphemy, and having seven heads and ten horns" (Rev. 17:3). The seven heads of the beast are the seven deadly sins, and the ten horns signify that the beast ascends out of the bottomless pit and will roll into the abyss.
" "And the woman (the great harlot) was arrayed in purple and scarlet (as symbolized in the inner worlds), and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication" (Rev. 17:4).
"And on her forehead a name was written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of fornications and abominations of the earth" (Rev. 17:5).
"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 marveled with great wonder" (Rev. 17:6).
"And the Angel said to me, 'Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has seven heads and ten horns'" (Rev. 17:7).
"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend out of the Abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and yet he is" (Rev. 17:8).
"And behold, there is a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits" (Rev. 17:9).
The seven deadly sins: anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth, and gluttony, are related to the seven sub-planes or dark regions of the abyss; these are the seven mountains on which the great harlot sits.
"And they are seven kings (the seven kings of Eden). Five are fallen: one is, and another is not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while" (Rev. 17:10).
The five lower principles—soul, mind, astral body, etheric body, and physical body—are fallen.
Man is fallen. The sixth principle (soul-consciousness) or BUDDHI never falls and will rule in the sixth race.
When the reign of the seventh principle comes, it will last a short time. Then there will be a divine race: the seventh. The seventh principle is the innermost.
"And the beast that was and is not, is also the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to destruction" (Rev. 17:11).
The beast that was and is not, is also the eighth, is the shadow of the seven Sephiroth, is the abyss.
"And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the beast" (Rev. 17:12).
The ten horns of the tragic wheel will rise and fall, they will turn with the wheel of compensation, they rise from the abyss, they impose themselves and command as ten kings, only to roll into the abyss when the wheel of Nemesis completes its fatal turn.
"They (the ten horns) have one counsel, and they will give their power and authority to the beast" (Rev. 17:13).
"They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called, chosen, and faithful" (Rev. 17:14).
"And he said to me, 'The waters you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages'" (Rev. 17:15).
"And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire" (Rev. 17:16).
At the fatal turn of the tragic wheel of compensation, the harlot will be left desolate and naked, and the ten tragic horns will devour her flesh and burn her with the fire of fornication in the darkness of the abyss.
"For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by agreeing and giving their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled" (Rev. 17:17).
"And the woman whom you saw is the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth" (Rev. 17:18).
The great tragic city is Babylon the Great, the mother of all the fornications and abominations of the earth: the wicked modern civilization.
CHAPTER XXIX:
BABYLON IS FALLEN
"And after these things I saw another Angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lighted with his glory" (Rev. 18:1).
"And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the great (the wicked civilization of this race) is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird" (Rev. 18:2). Birds of crime, vultures of war, birds of prey and hatred, etc.
"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth (the powers of the world) have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury" (Rev. 18:3).
"Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people (people initiated into the Christic mysteries), lest you share in her sins and receive of her plagues'" (Rev. 18:4).
And the righteous will be secretly taken out of this great city. And they will be taken in interplanetary ships before the great cataclysm. The wicked inhabitants of the earth will perish "for their sins have reached heaven, and God has remembered their iniquities" (Rev. 18:5).
The righteous will live on another planet while the earth undergoes a great geological transformation.
Later, they will return to this world to form the sixth race. Babylon the Great will be turned to ashes and blood.
"Give back to her as she gave you, and render back double according to her deeds. Give her double the cup she gave you to drink. As much as she has glorified herself and enjoyed pleasure, give her as much torment and mourning, for she says in her heart, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and I will see no mourning'" (Rev. 18:6, 7).
"Therefore her plagues will come in one day: death, mourning, and famine, and she will be burned with fire; for the Lord God is mighty, who will judge her" (Rev. 18:8). The Great Harlot reaps the fruit of her evil deeds. He who sows lightning, reaps storms. That is the law. The great harlot will reap the fruit of her wickedness.
"And the kings of the earth (the potentates of gold and silver; the oil lords and the war vultures), who have committed fornication with her and lived luxuriously, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off (trying to flee the disaster), for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city (modern civilization), for your judgment has come in one hour!'" (Rev. 18:9, 10).
"And the merchants of the earth weep and wail over her, because no one buys their merchandise anymore. Merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen, scarlet, silk, scarlet, all sweet wood, all vessels of ivory, all vessels of precious wood, brass, iron, and marble, cinnamon, sweet spices, ointments, frankincense, wine, and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves, and the souls of men" (Rev. 18:11-13). The merchants of the earth do business even with the souls of men. "And the fruits of your soul's desire have departed from you, and all good and excellent things have failed you, neither will you find them again" (Rev. 18:14).
As the final catastrophe approaches, "the merchants of these things who have become rich will become rich."
far from her (they will flee from the cities) for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying,
Alas, alas, that great city (modern civilization), which was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and was decked with gold, and adorned with precious stones and pearls!" (Rev. 18:15, 16).
"For in one hour so much wealth is laid desolate. And every master, and all who travel in ships, and mariners, and all who work by the sea, stood afar off. And when they saw the smoke of her burning, they cried out, saying, "What city was like this great city?" (Rev. 18:17, 18).
"And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships at sea were made rich by her wealth! For in one hour (the hour of Karma and punishment) she has been made desolate!" (Rev. 18:19).
"Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has avenged your cause in her" (Rev. 18:20).
The lightning of cosmic Justice will fall upon this perverse civilization of vipers, and there will be no remedy.
"And a mighty Angel took up a stone like a great millstone (the Philosopher's Stone) and cast it into the sea (the Christonic seed), saying (the prophecy being sealed), 'So violently shall that great city Babylon (modern civilization) be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all'"
(Rev. 18:21).
"And the voice of harpists, and musicians, and flute players, and trumpet players, shall be heard no more in you; and no craftsman of any craft will be found among you anymore, and the sound of the mill will be heard no more among you" (Rev. 18:22).
"And the light of a lamp will shine no more among you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard no more among you;
for your merchants were the great men of the earth (the great lords of business); because in your sorceries all nations have erred" (Rev. 18:23).
Sorcery is the golden calf, sorcery is idolatry, sorcery is the skepticism of dialectical materialism. Sorcery is the exploitation of souls, sorcery is black magic, witchcraft, etc.
For all this, Babylon the Great, the mother of all fornications and
abominations of the earth, will be destroyed.
"And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain
on the earth" (Rev. 18:24).
