In the Bible book of Revelation, we are given many symbols. We are promised by God, that all the symbols contained within that scroll, will be Revealed/uncovered/unveiled, in "the time of the end"...
first to Christ (John3:34-35; 16:15; Rev.5:1,2,5,7; Dan.7:13; Col.2:3)
and then to his faithful witnesses (John1:16; 16:15; 15:15; Matt.13:11,12; Luke12:48,37; Rev.1:1; 11:3,4; Zech.4:12,14; John16:14,13).
Those who receive that information, by the opening of Revelation's "seals", are under great obligation to use the knowledge they have been given, fully (Luke12:48; Eze.33:3; Matt.25:15,16; Dan.12:9,10,3; Rev.20:12,4; John15:8; Zech.4:14).
I was chosen by God to be shown visions related to Revelation. I am distressed until my work of disclosing these things publicly, is finished. This work I can not do of my own power or wisdom. I must have Faith, that God will accomplish His Holy Will, through whatever means He chooses. If these things will be disclosed through myself, then I know He will enable me.
If it is the Father's will, I will one day release a book which examines every verse of Revelation, which I am currently working on.
For today, I will consider the symbolism of what it means to be "scarlet colored".
We are told at Rev.17:3,4, that the identities of the harlot and first Wild Beast (Rev.13:1) are "scarlet colored".
Although there are scriptural references to scarlet as meaning royalty and finery,
there is another, more symbolic meaning also... one of sin. (Isa.1:18)
Not only is the Harlot clothed in scarlet/sin; (Rev.17:4; Jer.4:30; Rev.18:5; 17:6),
so is the Gentile Wild Beast who supports her (Rev.17:3; Nahum2:3; Eze.23:14,15).
That scarlet Wild Beast, is the same as the collective "Man of Sin" (2Thess.2:3),
(whose "horns" commit fornication with the Harlot -Rev.17:3,12,2; Eze.23:14)
as well as the army which that Harlot ("Wormwood") releases from the "abyss"/"sea" (Rev.9:1,2,3,7; 8:10,11).
The angel of the abyss/"fallen star"/2nd Wild Beast (Rev.13:11)/false Prophet,
causes both:
this army to rise from Satan's abyss of death (Rev.9:3; 11:7; 17:8)
and
seemingly rise from the spiritually dead condition of Gentiles, by "breathing life"/spirit
into that same Beast's Image (Rev.13:15), empowering it (crowned/"diadems") to dominate all...
including the unsealed chosen ones (Rev.13:1,16,17,7,8; Rev.9:3,4,7,10; 2Thess.2:4; Dan.8:24; 9:26; 11:31,32,36,45,40; Rev.12:15; Rev.9:2,7; Joel2:2,4; Rev.11:7; 13:1; Rev.9:8; Joel1:6,7,8,9,10,13; Rev.11:3).
Christ allows this Gentile army to discipline his chosen kings (Rev.1:5; 5:10; 3:17,19,1,2,3).
They are guilty of subjection and worship to the Image/Idol, of the Gentile Wild Beast
(Heb.12:6; Rev.3:19; 17:17; Joel 2:11; Rev.6:2,4; 2:14,20,23; Rev.13:7,8,16; 2Cor.11:3,20; 1Cor.7:23; Rev.9:5,10).
If we examine the scriptural contexts about this Gentile army, which "tramples" the final Holy Ones (Rev.11:2; Matt.24:15; Luke21:24; Dan.12:7,8,10),
in each of the Bible's references to them,
we see that although Christ allows them to discipline his slaves who have not kept awake and on the watch; those Gentile forces are evil, and the unrepentant come to destruction (2Thess.2:3NKJV ; 2Thess.2:8; 2Pet.2:3; Rev.9:20,21).
Those slaves of Christ who repent of this idolatry, are restored,
and empowered to be victorious over the deceptive Wild Beast...
according to those same references and their contexts.
(Rev.11:11,12; 4:1; Prov.25:6,7; Luke14:10; Rev.9:13,14; 20:4; 2:7; Prov.3:13,18; Rev.2:17; Ex.16:32,33; Heb.9:3,4; John6:49,50,51,56,55; Rev.2:17,26; Rev.12:5; Rev.3:5,12,21; Joel2:12,15,18,20,25,27,32; Matt.24:16,40,28; Dan.7:10,11,18,21,22; Zech.1:12,13,14,15,16,17)
