Dear Readers,
I am going to leave this post as a constant feature at the top of this Main Page.
All new posts will be entered below it.

Since I first started this Blog, many readers have transferred their online reading from a computer, to a cell phone. Unless the phone reader makes compensation, the pop-up scripture feature, will not function. That loss is grave, because any wisdom in my work, is found in the cited scriptures. One of my cell phone readers has informed me, how you can compensate. I will put her words and picture, below:
"One way to overcome the scriptures not being able to be opened on the iPhone or any phone is to direct the audience to click the web version. If you scroll all the way to the end of the blog and right above the “About Me,” you will see a “Home” button. Directly underneath the Home button is a link “view web version.” Click that link. You will then be able to click scripture links. A soft click on a scripture link will create a pop up of the scripture. A hard click on the scripture link will open that scripture in another window bringing you to, for example, the blueletterbible or biblegateway websites with the scripture you clicked to read."
With whatever device you are using...
I request and advise that all cited scriptures be read. Most of your learning will occur while reading the cited scriptures. They will pop up for computer users, if you hover your cursor over them. Much of the theme and thrust of the article, as well as connecting points, will be found only as the scriptures are read. I leave many holes around my own words, which can only be filled and bridged by the scriptures contained.
I do realize that following this suggestion, takes time.
I hope you take the time needed, perhaps reading one post in sections, so that all scriptures can be read and their relevance, deeply considered as you come to them.
Please consider structuring your studies in this way,
because reading my words only, is a sad waste of both of our time.

There are currently, over 800 posts and additional blogs in my profile.
Introductory articles can be found in the right-side column, at the top of this page.
These readings should give you the foundation you need, in order to consider and understand more fully the current posts. A consideration of the scriptures they contain, should provide greater assurance about the deeper interpretation and application of God's Word, which is progressively posted here.

The underpinning scriptural truths of every post, will not usually be discussed again if that information has already has been covered. Please make full use of the search-box when needed.
If assistance is still desired, there is a contact box to message me, found in the right side column of this page.

I also welcome you to post comments under each post.
If you do not speak English, you can translate your comment into English by using the link to follow: https://translate.google.com/
You can also use the Google Translate tool, to submit existing English comments and replies from other readers, and then read them in your own language.

For ANY question which arises or remains, during or after your study;
there is a contact form, also within the right-side column. Please feel welcomed to use it.
I will be able to refer you to the appropriate material, or I will answer you directly. If you do not want your question and my reply to be published, please specify that wish within your message to me.

If you are searching a scripture, rather than a subject;
consider also searching that scripture's cross reference.
In other words, if you want information about Mark 13:8; also consider searching Matt.24:7,8;
because I may have written about that scriptural subject, using Matt.24:7,8 instead of Mark 13:8. If you need help with that, contact me.

One of our readers told me this helpful tip about search results...
After your search result page shows up...
If you press "control" (ctrl) then press "F" at the same time, another little search box appears.
I put my same search word(s) (or scriptural verse) in that new search box.
After clicking "enter", that search word(s) (or Bible verses) were highlighted on my result page.

Please enter the site by a direct search for "pearl doxsey", or for "4womaninthewilderness",
unless the URL is saved on your PC.
If you wish to help our Google rating, do a search for a Bible topic that you know is addressed by this Blog, and then click on the result for this site.
Every time a search result ends in another visit here, the Google rating improves, along with the site's visibility to new searchers. However, please do not enter the site repeatedly through one particular post, or by searching on a search engine repeatedly for the same subject or post. When that is done, it adversely affects the list of "Popular posts of the Week" from refreshing. Other topics of reader interest are then crowded off the list of highlighted links. It is best to keep that list fresh, for the interest of new readers and availability of new topics.

We live during a time of revelation. New concepts and interpretations are becoming unveiled (Dan.12:4,9; Hab.2:3; Rev.22:10; 20:12). Many of these things are deeper and more complex than what we were previously taught. Many run contrary to the Satanic deceptions to which we as former "Jehovah's Witnesses" subscribed, and which have become deeply entrenched within our perceptions.
Such doctrine must be overturned consciously, by effort and grace, which only by a careful and intense scriptural study, can this be done for us.
As always, if any questions arise, there is a contact form on the right side of this page.

If you appreciate what you are learning here,
you are welcomed to join the forum or Facebook group, for support.
Both links are found at the top of this post.

I have deep appreciation for the many expressions I receive from readers, and hope that you will send me feedback and any suggestions for improving the reading experience. Please feel welcomed to use the contact form in the right side column of this page.
If you believe the scriptural things you learn here;
please share those scriptures and the truth they reveal, with others.
This can be done on the various internet forums which cater especially to "Jehovah's Witness", ex-"Jehovah's Witnesses", and the ideology, mindset, and experience of each.

May God continue to answer our sincere requests for heavenly bread (Matt.6:11; John 6:27,35,51,58,55; 14:21,6; Rev.2:17), which we receive through the true vine, and his faithful branches (John15:4,5,8;  1Cor. 4:1).
May God bless all of you with spirit and truth (John 4:23-24), and the eternal blessing to follow for those who worship according to them
(John 8:31; 6:63;  2John 1:9).
Love in Christ,
Pearl

Babylon the Great

What or who, is Babylon the Great?

Rev.17:5

"5 On her (the prostitute's) forehead was written a name, a mystery: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth."

- To have a name on your forehead, has meaning. It is the name of your master who you obey and serve (Rev.7:3; 14:1; Deut.11:18).

Clearly discerned by the scriptures above, Babylon the Great is a mother of the prostitute who has that mother's name on her forehead. The harlot is the daughter of Babylon the Great 

(Psalm 137:8; Zech.2:7).

Now, what does it mean to be a mother?

Of course, just as the name on the forehead must be interpreted by scripture, so do the mothers who are served and obeyed.

Mothers are where we come from, the spiritual matrix that spawns us.

Gal.4:26 reads;

"26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother."

The "virgins" in Revelation have Jerusalem above (spiritual city: Rev.21:2,10; Matt.5:14) as their source/mother (Lam.2:13; Rev.3:12) written on them.

The "harlots" in Revelation have Babylon the Great (spiritual city: Rev.18:10) as their source/mother, written on them (Rev.17:5). These cities are also depicted as spiritual, prominent mountains (Rev.8:8; 18:21; Zech.4:7) (Rev.14:1; Matt.5:14).

Spiritual virgins are those who have no lie in their mouth (Rev.14:4-5). Their mother is free, because the virgins spring from a source of truth. As Jesus said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32). Divine truth means life, which comes from a living mother (Rev.22:17).

-- spiritual-virginity-what-is-it.html

As Paul said at 2Cor.11:3-4, "2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—*to present a pure virgin to Christ.* 3 But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ."

-- Here we see the danger, that "virgins" can lose their standard of truth and fidelity to it, by being seduced by the great deceiver. 

By leaving the Lord of truth, they can fall prey to deception, no longer being virginal in their spirit.

Truth is the source of life (John 14:6; 6:63;  2Tim.1:10). 

Deception creates death (2Cor.4:3-4;  2Thess.2:10; John 8:44).

Is this what has happened to the "harlots" (1Cor.15:18)? 

What is the source of their being deceived and taken captive to deception (Col.2:8)?

How is this connected to who the mother of the harlots is?

We read at Gal.4:26 that Jerusalem above is free (free of deception, sin, and death). 

But Gal.4:24 explains more clearly, what an allegorical "mother" actually is...

" 24 These things are being taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants."

So, we have a heavenly woman/mother that is a covenant of life, truth, and spiritual light.

Is there a mother covenant of death, deception, and darkness... whose name is Babylon the Great?

Isaiah 28 speaks to the harlots...

"15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,

And with Sheol we are in agreement. (Link: What is Sheol/Hades?)

When the overflowing scourge sweeps through (Rev.12:15;  2Pet.3:17),

It will not come to us,

For we have made lies our refuge,

And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,

And your agreement with Sheol (abyss/Hades) will not stand;

When the overflowing scourge passes through,

Then you will be trampled down by it."

 Babylon the Great

The mother covenant over the spiritual harlots, is a covenant of death, deception, and treachery. That mother covenant's name is Babylon the Great. This is the covenant who the harlots are branded by and serving. They deserted Jesus, the source of truth and life. But worse, they serve up falsehood (poisoned waters) to others (Rev.8:10-11; Rev.17:15; 14:8) instead of the living water offered by the virgins (Rev.22:17) in imitation of Jesus (John 4:10). 

The harlots teach their followers, false doctrine. They are blind guides who lead others into a pit (Sheol) (Prov.5:3-5).

We also see that Babylon the Great is the mother covenant of the abominations of the earth (Rev.17:5).

This includes the abomination of desolation (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14).

Christ's Presence

 I will provide links to the cited verses, in addition to the pop-up feature.

We know that the apostles did expect a return of Christ, after his ascension

(see John 21:14,22; Matt.10:23; 24:30; Rev.22:7,12).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20John21%3A14%2C22%3B%20Matt.10%3A23%3B%2024%3A30%3B%20Rev.22%3A7%2C12&version=NIV

As you can see from the foregoing scriptures; Jesus pointed to a return that would occur *after* the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE, because Revelation was written after that, and the return he spoke of, contained features that did not occur in the first century.
In the mind of the apostles, the "end of the system" app lied to the Jewish system and covenant with God (Acts 1:6-7; Luke 19:11; John 16:12-13; Mark 9:12).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts1%3A6-7%3B%20Luke19%3A11%3B%20John16%3A12-13%3B%20Mark9%3A12&version=NIV

They were not wrong, because as Matthew chapter 24 begins, it is a continuation from the end of Matt.23, where the apostles are talking to Jesus about the fall of the Jewish Temple. But by Jesus response, we see from some details, that he was describing the pattern to expect, when both God's covenants are fulfilled, and end. At the conclusion of them, there will always be those who were faithful, and those who were not (and the interaction between those two groups).

They did not fully understand that there would also be an end/fulfillment to the New Covenant, because covenants are also called promises, and God eventually fulfills His promise. ("End of New Covenant")

Jesus not only answered the apostles question about the imminent end of the Old Covenant, but included the signs regarding the end of the New.

The sign of Jesus' presence has many components. But Jesus told us, not to expect the signs to be fulfilled in an obvious way (Luke 17:20).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke17%3A20&version=NIV

The very term, "sign of your presence", means, that it will occur through signs and symbols, not seen in a physical way... but perceived and recognized by means of insight, discernment, and spirit of prophecy... leading to understanding for those who listen

(Mark 13:14; Rev.1:1; Eph.3:3-4,5; Amos 3:7; 1Cor.14:32; Rev.22:6-7; 1Cor.2:10-11,12-13,14).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark13%3A14%3B%20Rev.1%3A1%3B%20Eph.3%3A3-5%3B%20Amos3%3A7%3B%201Cor.14%3A32%3B%20Rev.22%3A6-7%3B%201Cor.2%3A10-14&version=NIV

(please click on the footnote for "signified it" in Rev.1:1. You will see that the original Greek said, "Made it known through symbols")

So at the end of the New Covenant, the "sign of your presence" will occur in symbolic ways, made discernible through the spirit of Christ's angel/prophet, whom he would send to reveal his message.

-- But what did Jesus mean, by "presence"? The word means, "to be alongside", as in a yoke (Matt.11:28-30). There is much that could be said about what this means.... even about how the Wild Beast is said to be "alongside" those who are working with it, but do not recognize what actually is under the yoke of slavery, with them (Greek of Rev.17:8) (2Cor.6:14)... directing them in the demonic persecution of God's anointed.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.11%3A28-30%3B%20Rev.17%3A8%3B%202Cor.6%3A14&version=NIV

Now to understand the connection between Jesus' presence, and the birth pangs (Great Tribulation and the Battle to result)....
There is much information to explain this. I am going to simplify it for the sake of this comment. But each point I make, should be researched and proven through the scriptures by an article on each subject. That first being understood, I will address that part of your question:...
1. Wormwood falls from heaven through a compromise of truth. When this false prophet chooses to teach lies, that is represented by opening Satan's abyss.
2. When Wormwood opens the abyss, Satan escapes his captivity, and the bonds previously imposed upon him by Christ, are loosed. Satan is then able, to mislead the body of Christ. They become captives of the abyss (Rev.13:7,10; Luke 21:24; Col.2:8), through trampling by its agents.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.13%3A7%2C10%3B%20Luke21%3A24%3B%20Col.2%3A8&version=CSB
3. Christ is appointed as head of the body, and charged by God to protect it, feed it, and defend it, as a husband does his wife. He assured us, that "I have not lost a single one which the Father has given me"

(John 17:12; Luke 15:4; Ps.30:1-2,3-4,5; 40:1-4).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John17%3A12%3B%20Luke15%3A4%3B%20Ps.30%3A1-5%3B%2040%3A1-4&version=NKJV

Dan.12:1 describes it this way;
"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered."
--
Here you can see the connection between the unprecedented "time of distress" (Great Tribulation), and the "standing up" of "Michael" (the presence of Christ) to rescue "the remaining ones of the woman's seed".
("I protected them by that name you gave me" -John 17:12; Rev.3:12; 12:7; 20:7-8,9; 17:14; 12:15,17; Matt.24:7-8)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.3%3A12%3B%2012%3A7%3B%2020%3A7-9%3B%2017%3A14%3B%2012%3A15%2C17%3B%20Matt.24%3A7-8&version=NKJV

Dan.12:3-4,9-10 and Rev.20:12, describes the result:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Dan.12%3A3-4%2C9-10%3B%20Rev.20%3A12&version=NKJV
Can you see that "knowledge will increase", and "scrolls are opened"? This is the same event (Luke 24:45).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24:45&version=NIV

This increase of knowledge of the truth (opening scrolls, including Revelation)... is actually the cause of Armageddon. When God's priests gain the dawn through the standing up of Jesus to defend against Satan's river of lies... the faithful stand up to the deception, and in imitation of Jesus, defend the truths they are receiving (2Cor.10:3-4,5; Rev.20:7-8; 16:13-14,15-16; 17:14; 19:11,14,8; Jude 1:14; Matt.26:64; Heb.12:1).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.10%3A3-5%3B%20Rev.20%3A7-8%3B%2016%3A13-16%3B%2017%3A14%3B%2019%3A11%2C14%2C8%3B%20Jude1%3A14%3B%20Matt.26%3A64%3B%20Heb.12%3A1&version=NKJV

Mark 9:11-12 reads;
"11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?"
When Jesus "returns" and is *again present with his priesthood* (sanctuary restored/priests working again under the high priest); those final priests must battle against wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places (Eph.6:10-11,12).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.6%3A10-12&version=NKJV

Naturally, this will not occur under pleasant circumstances... because Satan is unleashed, along with all his powerful hoards of both spirit and flesh. The result of this demonic attack, becomes manifest and discernible, by those able to recognize the "birth pangs" of the Great Tribulation, and the spiritual symbolism as the means by which, those signs are truly manifested among the anointed (Rev.12:2; John 16:19-20,21-22,23; Dan.9:24-25,26-27)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.12%3A2%3B%20John16%3A19-23%3B%20Dan.9%3A24-27&version=NKJV
