Who is the harlot of Revelation?

There have been more than one harlot under the covenant of death...all of those harlots through time, are her daughters (more than one harlot). (Rev.17:5)
That "mother" covenant of death, actually started in Eden (Gen.2:17; 3:24).

At the end, there is the last harlot (one) ruling over and persecuting God's anointed. This LAST Harlot to persecute the anointed (there have been many) you can read about at Rev.17:1. 

Rev.17:3,4,5,6 will show you that at the end, there is only one harlot sitting on the beast. 
The name "Babylon the Great" which she has on her forehead, is not her own name, but is the name of who she is a slave to (Rev.14:1,9; 13:16,17; 7:3; 9:4; 
Rev.20:4...continues..."and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand..."; 
Rev.22:3,4; 2Cor.1:22; Ezek.9:4,6). 
The harlot is a servant of her mother, Babylon the Great, the "covenant of death" Isa.28:15.

All the slave Harlots of that Covenant (who have persecuted the chosen in covenant with God)...have sat on that "Gentile" beast and used it to kill...but only ONE Harlot AT A TIME.

Revelation is talking about the last Harlot (who also has Babylon the Great AS HER MOTHER COVENANT), who is the GB over an organization of spiritual Gentiles (elders). Jehovah only considers anointed as spiritual "Jews"...having the circumcision of the heart by Holy Spirit (Rom.2:29; Gal3:29).

The unfaithful anointed who have take worldly power to dominate their anointed brothers (Mark10:42,43; Matt.23:8) decide to persecute their brothers with that power (Matt.24:49; Isa.66:5; John16; Rev.13:15), teach lies, and "kill" the prophets... are the last Harlot (Rev.17:5,6; 18:24; Matt.23:34,35,37) who imitates her sister harlots and mother. 

Babylon the Great is the mother of ALL THE HARLOTS who have EVER persecuted the faithful anointed since they started...including the Pharisees, the Catholic Church, etc.

You seem to know nothing of the book of Revelation (Rev.1:1). 

There Jesus teaches the anointed, that the unfaithful who rule us, are no longer our "brothers in Christ". 

They choose to enter a covenant with Satan (Rev.9:1,11)! It makes them harlots/daughters of Babylon the Great (1Cor.6:15,16). 

Babylon the Great is the Covenant with Death (Isa.28:14,15), but they do not realize that it's power will turn around, and come against them (Isa.28:18,19). That same flood of locust scorpions from the abyss of death (From Rev.9:2,3) (Organization of Gentile elders) will soon turn on THEM also (Rev.17:16). The abyss is the spiritual domain of Satan...lies, deception, and death. 
(see pearl-revelation9.blogspot.com )
Authority over it, is represented by holding the key to it. Accepting that key is to enter that Covenant with death (Rev.9:1).
To share in Satan's power and authority, over false teachings, persecution of the faithful, and the first death; is a great sin for those who had been Chosen ones.
Those who enter this Covenant with Satan and his abyss,

were already warned by Christ to love their brothers (John13:34,35), or else be considered murderers and Satan's seed (1John3:14,15; John8:44). 
(Harlot daughters have as spiritual parents...Satan and Babylon the Great. These harlots used to be virgins of Jesus and the New Covenant of life. (2Cor.11:2,3; 1Cor.6:15,16) (Gal.4:26,24,31).
 The beast has Satan's "physical" traits, because they are also his seed. (seven heads and ten horns)

They are the elders that disfellowship the faithful anointed, hating and "killing" them as the GB wants them to....all because they have Jehovah's favor...and are loyal to truth ...instead of loyal to the GB and it's Beast (1John3:10,11,12; Rev.20:4).

The "Disgusting things of the earth" are all the abominations, blasphemies, and objects of idolatry that the anointed leaders have placed in Jehovah's temple (Ezek.8:5,6,7,8,9,10,12;  Rev.17:3,5; 13:1) among the anointed (1Cor.3:16). 

This is a symbol of the lies they are teaching them about Jehovah, Jesus, and the 144000; 

as well as their worship of both the Organization and the power of the spiritual "Gentiles", whose strength the Harlot relies upon (Jer.17:5; Isa.31:1,2,3; Rev.9:3,7,9)
(riding the Beast)....rather than trusting and relying on Jehovah like Jesus taught them (Prov.3:5,6; Psalm20:6,7; John16:23,24,27; Ps.9:10; Isa.33:2; 40:10,11).

They do not want to do that, because they want power, pride and riches while in Satan's world (1Cor.4:8). Waiting for their reward in God's Kingdom is not good enough for them. That path of waiting for power, means that Satan and his world will hate them  (John17:14) instead of it's blessing which they want to enjoy now (Matt.4:8,9; Rev.13:7; 17:18).

The "sea" is Satan's domain/abyss (Isa.57:20). He is Leviathan (Psalm74:14; Job.41:1,34; Ezek.29:3,4) who is over Babylon the Great's death-dealing dark "smoke"/poisoned "waters" (Rev.17:1,15; 8:10,11; Isa.27:1; 57:20; Ezek.32:2,3,7,8; Joel2:10; Isa.13:10; 34:4; Mark13:24,25; Rev.8:12; 9:2,11). 

Jehovah owns the harvest of the vine (Jesus the vine, the anointed are the branches (John15:5)...and the FRUIT is both teachings, and those saved by them (Matt.12:33); (just as the "grapes" in the winepress are (Jer.2:21; Rev.14:19). 

Babylon the Great's "waters", are also both Teachings and the people who believe them.  (Rev.17:1,15; 8:11)
People and teachings either have Jesus over them...or Satan over them.

The "sea"/"abyss" is where the Gentiles/Beast/locust scorpions come from (Rev.9:2,3; Rev.11:7). The Wild Beast IS from the sea (Rev.13:1). At the same time, from the Abyss (Rev.11:7) The Organization of elders are NOT ANOINTED, just as the Wild Beast made of locust/scorpions are NOT ANOINTED. These are the same. The Abyss/sea/pit/deep are also, all the same. In the spirit realm, it is also Satan's mouth of lies and death. (1Pet.5:8)
Those "Gentiles" born from it, are not spiritual Israelites. Yet these are now ruling in God's Temple! (Ezek.44:6,7,8,9; Dan.11:31; Lam.1:10; 2Chron.13:9; 2Thess.2:4; Rev.13:7,8) This "locust" swarm, spiritually desolates the "land" with it's stinging lies, consuming any "green thing" capable of eternal life (Joel1:4; Rev.9:3,4,7; 7:3; 8:7) after the anointed are done being sealed. Before they are sealed, they are also tormented by this brood (Rev.9:4,5,6). Jehovah allows it, to discipline them for their ignorant idolatry. Yet once repentant in "sackcloth" and sealed, these will be restored to their proper place (Rev.11:3; Joel2:25; Nahum2:2; Jer.30:18; Isa.51:9,10,11,12; 59:20,21). Those locusts will turn on those apostate anointed leaders (Jer.51:13,14; Rev.17:16)

These locusts/scorpions/Wild Beast, ruling over his chosen priests, is what Jehovah thinks is the "disgusting thing in a Holy Place" (Matt.24:15). It is Satan's spawn under the direction of fallen anointed "Wormwood"...ruling over all his anointed sons/priests.

When we recognize this, we are told by him, to FLEE! (Matt.24:16; Rev.18:4) Only when you come out from under Satan's decoy Kingdom, ruled by Satan's seed, can you hope to become sealed! (Rev.9:13,14; 12:15)

Do you understand these things? If it is hard, pray! It means your life!

The reason that the Wild Beast has seven heads and ten horns (Rev.13:1; 17:3), is because these are Satan's seed...they imitate their father (John8:44)...Satan has given them his power and traits (Rev.13:2) 

(Satan also has 7 heads and ten horns. See Rev.12:3.

The heads of the Beast each stand for a king that has ruled (Rev.17:9,10 -- seven is symbolic).

The reason why one of the Beast's heads had a "death stroke", is well known. Remember what the Organization teaches about the "death stroke" that the GB received in Spring 1918 (see the Revelation book, page 169)? 

They say this fulfills the "two witnesses". That is a lie. The two witnesses are at the very end of Satan's world....NOT 100 years ago! That is easy to prove. It is part of the 1914 lie. The kingdom was not born at the beginning of the labor pains, but will be, at the end of them (Matt.24:8; Rev.12:2).

The "death stoke" was "healed" for the GB in Sept.1919....if you look in the Rev. book, page 169, paragraph 23,24; you will see this claim of being "healed/revived". They say it fulfills the "two witnesses", but the real recovery of the two witnesses, is when they are resurrected to heaven at the end (Rev.11:11,12). You know this has not yet occurred.
This "death-stroke" and "revival" is that head on the Beast (Rev.13:3).

The elder you asked about being appointed by Holy Spirit did not give you the answer most elders give. Acts 20:28 has long been used by the Organization to declare the elders as "appointed by Holy Spirit". (This verse was talking about the anointed). Now that this lie has been exposed and proven wrong, are they trying to change it?

The GB doesn't care how many partake or are genuine. They do not talk to, use, or care about the other anointed (unless one of them becomes a threat to their authority). They have declared themselves God's only anointed slaves...capable of proving "faithful and discreet". Have you yet not heard their "new light", that they alone are the "faithful and discreet slave"? Do you not yet perceive the "wicked steward", who beats his fellows?

Are not the elders the ones who "teach you", each time you go to a meeting? Who do you have to get the approval of before you can get baptized...or even before you can partake? Who decides if you are "apostate" or not? Who are the spiritual "shepherds"? Who throw you out, if you do not bow to their authority?

Don't you see who rules in each congregation for the Organization? Is it anointed? OPEN YOUR EYES.

If you tell an elder that you get "training" and spiritual education from the "heavens above" and not from the Organization....

you will be disfellowshipped! (by the elders)....They will say that you do not recognize "the channel that Jehovah is using"....which means, THEM....the Gentiles! WAKE UP!

If you want to know if my witness about the Truth of the Bible was accepted in my Congregation,

You can read the letter I sent them... http://pearl-farewell.blogspot.com
