At the end of the Great Tribulation period the European Beast power will fight against Jesus when he returns and be annihilated.

Revelation 17:1-18
<\/span>One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. \u201cCome with me,\u201d he said, \u201cand I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.\u201d

So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it. The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewellery made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality. A mysterious name was written on her forehead: \u201cBabylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.\u201d I could see that she was drunk \u2014 drunk with the blood of God\u2019s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.

\u201cWhy are you so amazed?\u201d the angel asked. \u201cI will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits. The beast you saw was once alive but isn\u2019t now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.

\u201cThis calls for a mind with understanding: The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules. They also represent seven kings. Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief.

\u201cThe scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction. The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast. They will all agree to give him their power and authority. Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.\u201d

Then the angel said to me, \u201cThe waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language. The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute. They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire. For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled. And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.\u201d

Revelation 18:1-24
<\/span>After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendour. He gave a mighty shout:

\u201cBabylon is fallen\u2014that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal. For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich.\u201d

Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, \u201cCome away from her, my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her. For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God remembers her evil deeds. Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much for her. She glorified herself and lived in luxury, so match it now with torment and sorrow. She boasted in her heart, \u2018I am queen on my throne. I am no helpless widow, and I have no reason to mourn.\u2019 Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day \u2014 death and mourning and famine. She will be completely consumed by fire, for the Lord God who judges her is mighty.\u201d

And the kings of the world who committed adultery with her and enjoyed her great luxury will mourn for her as they see the smoke rising from her charred remains. They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out, \u201cHow terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! \nIn a single moment God\u2019s judgment came on you.\u201d

The merchants of the world will weep and mourn for her, for there is no one left to buy their goods. She bought great quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; things made of fragrant thyine wood, ivory goods, and objects made of expensive wood; and bronze, iron, and marble. She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, wagons, and bodies\u2014that is, human slaves. \u201cThe fancy things you loved so much are gone,\u201d they cry. \u201cAll your luxuries and splendour are gone forever, never to be yours again.\u201d

The merchants who became wealthy by selling her these things will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will weep and cry out, \u201cHow terrible, how terrible for that great city! She was clothed in finest purple and scarlet linens, decked out with gold and precious stones and pearls! In a single moment all the wealth of the city is gone!\u201d

And all the captains of the merchant ships and their passengers and sailors and crews will stand at a distance. They will cry out as they watch the smoke ascend, and they will say, \u201cWhere is there another city as great as this?\u201d And they will weep and throw dust on their heads to show their grief. And they will cry out, \u201cHow terrible, how terrible for that great city! The shipowners became wealthy by transporting her great wealth on the seas. In a single moment it is all gone.\u201d Rejoice over her fate, O heaven and people of God and apostles and prophets! For at last God has judged her for your sakes.

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a huge millstone. He threw it into the ocean and shouted, \n\u201cJust like this, the great city Babylon will be thrown down with violence and will never be found again. The sound of harps, singers, flutes, and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No craftsmen and no trades will ever be found in you again. The sound of the mill will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The happy voices of brides and grooms will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the greatest in the world, and you deceived the nations with your sorceries. In your streets flowed the blood of the prophets and of God\u2019s holy people and the blood of people slaughtered all over the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n{“title”:””,”nav_menu”:”23″}\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2004,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1597","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1597"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2017,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1597\/revisions\/2017"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
