Who Is Mystery Babylon? - Part II
"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." Revelation 17:4-6
This article shows us who the Bible calls Mystery Babylon.
2. The Colors Of Mystery Babylon
Revelation 17: 4 describes the colors of Mystery Babylon. In Revelation
17:4 it says "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:" Notice
the colors purple, scarlet (or red), gold, precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand. In the year 2000, newspapers starting
showing color pictures of the pope as he traveled to Egypt and Israel." An
article titled "Pope Celebrates Mass in Egypt - Pontiff Deplores Bias
Against Christians" (note 2) describes some of the pope's colors, "The
pope was greeted with cheers, emotional waving and song as he slowly made
his way to the altar, dressed in white and gold robes." This picture also
shows the pope giving a wafer to an Egyptian Catholic with the pope and
cardinal holding a cup with gold in the inside standing in front of a gold
and white chair. The cardinal also had clothing that was white and
scarlet. In the March 12th issue of the Oregonian, an article titled "The
Pope's Crusade"(note 3) shows a picture of the pope dressed in a purple
and white robe with a scarf standing between two cardinals dressed in
white and scarlet. Another article from the Columbian Newspaper, titled
"Frail pontiff forgoes Christ's symbolic walk" (note 4) shows a picture of
the pope dressed in white and scarlet. We see from Revelation 17:4 that
these unique colors show the Roman Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon.
