Harlot and Beast


A thought from a friend:

 Just read Rev 18:4 again and i found it very investing
that John was inspired to use the words 'my people' - i think that
proves that this organisation is 'Babylon the great'. Jehovah never
uses those words except for when speaking to or about his people.
Just thought I'd share that with you.

My response:

Thank you so much for your view of Rev.18:4. It is true. "My people" are the anointed...(Heb.8:10; Jer.31:33;  1Pet.2:9,10).
"Babylon the Great" is a covenant. Remember, it is called the "mother" of the "harlots" (Rev.17:5). "Mother"s, are Covenants (see Gal.4:26,24).
(pearl-thewoman.blogspot.com)
Babylon the Great, is the Covenant of Death (see Isa.28:15,18)....but this covenant is represented in the flesh, by her Harlot daughters
(Isa.1:21; Eze.16:44). These ones rule through the "wild beast". That is each harlot's power. That Beast is the Gentiles who serve her, obeying her commands. She directs them (Rev.17:3). It is the "Watchtower" organization ("Wild Beast" from the "sea" - Gentile), under the Governing Body ("wild beast" from the "earth" -Rev.13:11 -"Jew" - Rom.2:28,29; Gal.3:29).

I tell you these things, because the "organization" is not "Babylon the Great", but it's anointed leaders are in that covenant with death. This brings all the "waters", upon which the harlots sit, under this Covenant with Death (Rev.17:15). That "marriage" covenant, is with Satan. They entered into it, when they accepted the "key" (authority and power) over the Abyss of deception and death (Rev.9:1; 8:10,11). Satan gave it to these sell-out harlots (unfaithful slaves), in order to restrain the true faithful anointed, within that abyss of lies and death (Matt.24:24; Rev.12:15). That is where Satan wants all the "remaining ones of her seed" (Rev.12:4), which are the ones he has "waged war" with (Rev.12:7,11,17; 16:13,14,15,16; 17:14; 19:11,14; 20:8). 

"She"...(Babylon the Great/Covenant of Death)...through "her" harlot Babylon daughters, helps Satan to take them captive (Rev.13:7,10; Col.2:8)...by those Harlot daughters (spiritual leaders) releasing the locust/scorpions (Rev.9:1,2,3) 
(stinging with death-dealing lies Rev.9:10;  1Cor.15:55; Eze.2:6; Col.2:8; Rev.13:10).

After those who choose faithfulness, awaken and take their stand for truth,
That Wild Beast collective of locust-scorpions, does "kill" them (Rev.11:7; 13:7,14,15; 9:18; John 16:2). 
The "death" Satan prefers, is the judgment that would come from God to the Chosen ones (Matt.10:28), if they are tricked into accepting demonic lies and death, through the locust-scorpion/Gentiles (Rev.9:10;  1Cor.15:55,56,57) who trample them.
If that stinging threat doesn't work, then the faithful can be "killed", by being cut off and silenced from the midst of God's people (John 16:2; Rev.11:7; 20:4; 6:9,11) in order to mitigate the damage which the truth can do to deception. Through the Abyss, "Wormwood" has been given the power to do both (key)... take captive to demonic teaching and to silence those who are set free.
(http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/08/who-has-key-to-abyss.html)
Like the leaders of God's first-century people, power is considered more valuable than truth (John 11:47,48,49,50)
The book of Revelation is symbolic. Whether this symbolic "killing" is actual disfellowshipping only (to silence them within the "Congregations"), or will turn out to be a literal murdering of the faithful; ...this has not yet been disclosed to me.

So to clarify, Babylon the Great is a covenant with death/Hades and it's king, the Destroyer (Rev.9:11; Isa.33:1). That covenant grants the receiver with all Satan's power to deceive, along with all manner of worldly reinforcements... both servants, riches, and influence.

Those in that covenant were formerly Christ's "virgins" (Rev.14:4,5; 20:4) (under the covenant of life -Gal.4:26), but they gave away that purity when they bought lies to shine in their lamps (Matt.25:8,9,11,12; Rev.9:1,2; 8:10,11; 13:17,18) ("666").
Once they exchange their purity (Rev.14:5; 3:18) (Matt.25:10;  2Cor.11:2,3,4; Rev.2:20) for untruth, they are no longer virgins, but defiled harlots.
Their precious intimacy with Christ, was sold over to Satan's desire and will (Eph.5:23; Col.2:19; Matt.4:9; Mark 10:42,41,44). Their heart has come to seek to do the will of their new owner... to be a dominating liar and a man-slayer (John 8:44; Isa.44:20;  1John 3:10,11,12,14,15; Isa.1:21). They unwittingly join with Satan in his desire to do away with the other anointed proving faithful (Mark 12:7; Micah 2:2), due to their desire to be in power over what does not rightly belong to them (Matt.20:25,26,27;  1Pet.5:3). They justify the compromise of Truth, to keep their power solidified and consolidated. The lesser ones in subjection to them who sell out, do so to keep harmony with corrupted "Wormwood", who is at the top (1Cor.6:15,16,17).

Due their desire and deeds... their loss of love for God's truth... all Chosen who compromise, become daughters of a new covenant. Satan becomes their father, and the covenant with death, their mother 
(John 8:44; Rev.9:11; Rev.17:5).
Just as the virgin daughters have a promise/covenant as their mother (Gal.4:26; Rev.3:12;  2Cor.11:2,3), and later will actually become that heavenly covenant when it's promise is fulfilled (Gal.4:28; 3:29; Heb.12:22,23);
The harlot daughters have the covenant of death as their mother (Babylon the Great -Rev.17:5), and become sealed representatives of that bottomless abyss of death/Covenant, when they are sealed through their sins (Rev.17:6). This is when they mature, and go from "daughters" of their mother covenant and Satan, to ambassadors/wife of Satan / becoming the mother covenant.
  That follows the same pattern as the faithful anointed and their mother covenant. They are daughters of Jerusalem above/New Covenant (Lam.2:13; Micah 4:8; Isa.52:2; 37:22; Zeph.3:14; Rev.3:12), until they are sealed. Their heavenly hope is to actually become members of that Holy City in Heaven, installed as it's living representatives. They then become, not virgin daughters of Christ's Bride (1Thess.2:7,8;  2Cor.11:2)...but Christ's Bride herself (Eph.2:6; Rev.3:21; 21:9,10,2,3).

Just as the virgins become the Covenant of Life, upon being sealed through bearing witness to the truth/Jesus, and giving their lives for it (and therefore helping to save others)...
      (John 12:24; 15:12,13; Mark 8:35; Rom.6:5; Phil.2:17;  2Cor.12:15).
...the Harlot daughters also become the Covenant of Death, upon killing the virgins and spewing forth Satan's lies (and therefore helping to kill all who drink their poisoned waters).

Each group becomes sealed for life, or death....they either are sealed in heaven as the New Jerusalem and become the New Covenant of life for the benefit of "new earth", or they are sealed in the Abyss as the Great Harlot, drunk with the blood of the faithful witnesses and brothers of Christ, and cause the death of the entire old "earth" 
(2Pet.3:7,13; Rev.14:19; Jer.25:29,30,34; 2:21; Isa.5:7; Joel 3:13; Deut.32:32,35,36,39).
(see pearl-winepress.blogspot.com )
These will descend into the second death, and eternal destruction (Isa.5:14; 14:9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17; Rev.20:10,14,15). Their rule will be brief.

Those who become the Covenant of freedom and life (when the promise/covenant is fulfilled), will ascend into the heavens and immortality. The heavens are not a physical place, but a spiritual standing that can exist anywhere. They will rule as kings on the earth with Christ, forever (Rev.20:12; Dan.7:9,10,21,22,18). Their power and glory will be of grace and truth, reflecting the humility and servitude of Jesus (John 1:14; 18:33,34,37).

So I am hoping that you might see more clearly, that  all those under the unfaithful leaders [anointed who enter into the Covenant of death (by accepting the "key" from Satan)], are included and come under that same covenant of Death ...by being in subjection to these unfaithful ones.
This is why God's Word tells the other anointed, "Get out of her"! (the covenant of death, Babylon the Great). They do this by removing the mark of her beast from their "heads" and "hands"...no longer thinking her lies, nor obeying her un-scriptural directions (Rev.13:16).

Babylon the Great is not the organization, but the covenant which the leaders of the organization have entered into (as well as all those who feed from them). By being in subjection to those harlots who did directly enter into that covenant, all her "children" also, are consigned to death (Rev.2:20,21,22,23; Hosea 4:6).
Within the book of Revelation, the "organization" is singled out and represented by, the "wild beast" who those harlot leaders ride, sit enthroned upon, and direct.
Accordingly, we know that it is prophesied that the organization will turn on the Governing Body at some point, and become the eighth king without them (Rev.17:11). This is already happening, as the wild beast/man of lawlessness, has already raised himself over the anointed who are lesser ones than the Governing Body...Yet, they have also begun to raise themselves over the Governing Body, in that the magazines and books are now largely written by non-anointed ones. 

The Governing Body has appointed the Gentile elders (Rom.2:28,29) to take over the job that Jesus assigned and expects of the anointed priests. The governing body have "appointed priests for themselves" (2Chron.13:6,9) to serve over the symbolic "sanctuary of the temple of God" (2Thess.2:4;  1Cor.3:16;  1Pet.2:5,9; Eph.2:20,21,22). 
Spiritual Gentiles (non-anointed) have taken over the job of anointed priests (Eze.44:6,7,8,9; La.1:10; Dan.11:31; Matt.24:15,16;  1Cor.6:2,3). They will pay dearly for this disrespect to YHVH. The harlot replaces the anointed priests whom God has chosen, because the Gentiles obey them better.
 Why? The interests of the Gentiles is not one of enduring an ignominious death for truth (Matt.25:6; Heb.13:13; 12:2; Phil.3:10; John 16:2), but they are enticed by power, dominion, prominence, and prestige (Dan.11:39,21,22,23). For this very reason, their subjection to the last harlot, will change (Rev.17:16,17).
(https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com)

The Beast has not yet violently turned on it's leadership. That is yet future. But this preliminary loss of power and position is moving toward facilitating that.
So,
Babylon the Great = The Covenant of Death
                                 The daughter harlots of it, become the
                                 Covenant of death, once they are
                                 sealed/consummated with Satan
                                 (through the persecution of the faithful
                                  anointed by the organization/beast.)

The Organization = The "Wild Beast" who is ridden by the
                                Harlot. It does "Wormwood's" dirty work.
                                                                                                                                                                           
The many waters that the Harlot sits upon = all those in subjection to the Harlot leaders, the wild beast organization, and in subjection to the teachings that come from these (Rev.17:15) = all those under the covenant of death (Rev.17:2; 18:4).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/05/mark-of-beast.html)

The seven mountains/hills where the woman sits on top = This is the antithesis of the "seven congregations" (Rev.1:20; 17:9,10). This is the entire scope (7) of the power of all the harlots (and all those who exercise the power of the Covenant of Death). 
Just as each of the "seven Congregations" had over them an anointed star/angel (Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3; Matt.5:15; 24:16; Eze.36:8); so too each "mountain"/king of the Harlot Covenant is a "fallen" star (Rev.17:9,10; 8:10; 9:1) and false prophet (Rev.13:11; 19:20). 

As the Head of the seven congregations, Christ is in the midst of the seven golden lampstands (Rev.2:1); Satan is in the midst of the seven heads/kings/hills upon which the mother covenant of death, sits enthroned (Rev.17:9). Satan's spirit is in the midst of the toxic smoke of the abyss, which darkens and veils all "light" (Rev.9:2; Eph.2:2; 2Cor.4:4). 
As Jesus is King of his anointed kings (Rev.1:5), Satan is king of all those in association with his abyss of lies and death (Rev.9:11).
While each anointed star serves the congregation of sheep who they are responsible for; the Organized Beast and Harlot head, serve all who are marked by the Beast....for their domain is "all the earth" (Rev.13:8) at once.
                          [the "ten" kings "who have not yet received their kingdom with Christ,
                           are those who rule one hour
                           with the wild beast--(anointed in subjection
                           to both the organization, the Governing
                           Body, and the covenant of Death)
                           These "ten" are "horns". They are NOT the Governing Body (7 heads)
                           themselves.] (Rev.17:12,13,17)...
                                                (note:"purpose")
                           In fact, those unsealed anointed join the beast, in turning on "her"
                          (Rev.17:12,13,16,17).
                (Who-are-kings-of-earth?)

I hope that clarifies the identities of the organization, and their relationship to "Babylon the Great".

Now that I have written you regarding Rev.18:4, I wanted to write you more personally.
My circumstances are not all those of support. I am losing my daughter, and it is very dramatic and painful. She is like your wife. The whole Congregation is in an uproar against me. I believe that our heavenly Father does not let us be tested beyond what we can bear. Perhaps this is why my husband has changed from being abusive to being supportive through the worst of the Organization's persecution against me.
EVERYONE who now writes me and has the real truth (and is still in the organization) is being unjustly and intensely persecuted also. This includes by close family members (Matt.10:36,37,38,39). 
I wish I could post an article made of just all these letters, but those who write about this are afraid of the "beast", and being identified (Rev.13:15,16) as not in subjection to it, so they ask me not to post it.
They do not realize how common it has become, and that it is time to "flee" (Matt.24:15,16; Rev.18:4; Zech.2:6,7). The approval of family and friends is the least of our problems. We must now run for our lives (and not look back-- Luke 17:31,32,33). Where do we run? Jesus' disciples asked the same question...Luke 17:37.
Those who have been blessed with spiritual insight, are to go to feed where those who have been killed/"slain", are providing spiritual food (Job 39:27,28,29,30; Matt.24:28 > RSV). 
(Rev.12:14,6;  1Cor.10:17; Eze.14:22; Isa.41:27; Matt.24:16)
You may notice that these are the very scriptures which first opened this website, and are found in it's heading.

Please continue to write me for our mutual encouragement.

Wild Beast and it's ten horns

PART ONE

Pearl...you said,
"The anointed inside that are not the GB, are the ten kings who rule with the wild beast."
About the above quote,
if you are anointed, then while you were a JW, you must have in some way been part of the wild beast.
Is this why you had to leave the Org.?
So in what way were you ruling, because that's what a "king" does?
In what way were you a king ?
Was this because being there you added "credibility" to the Org?
       
REPLY:

You are right. You need to go to the scripture. 
It is Rev.17:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 

These kings are also described at Rev.6:15; 17:2,12; 19:19.
These kings are called "the kings of the earth".
If you go to Rev.1:5-6; 5:9-10, you will see that Jesus is King over these.
Yet, Those who JESUS rules, cannot be worldly kings, because HIS KINGDOM "is no part of the world". John 18:36
Rev.5:9,10 and Rev.1:5,6 confirms that these are the anointed.

Rev.17:12,13 above, helps to see that they do not have a kingdom, and that they give their future crowns to the beast Rev.17:17 ("no kingdom as yet").
[Anointed do not receive their kingdom, until they prove faithful (Rev.3:21;  1John 5:4)]
As part of the idolatrous Image of the Beast, they can only receive honor and authority, in alliance with the Beast. 
Anointed elders only get the same authority as non-anointed elders ( with the beast).

Anointed are recognized, honored to partake, and are counted.
But no anointed can have any authority above the Beast, only with it.
(except of course, the Harlot GB)

As you can see, those kings inside do not rule,
but they do accept the approval of men in exchange for the approval of Christ (Rom.1:25).
The society teaches that the kingdom began in 1914, so these ones (as long as they are faithful to the GB) and are with the Beast...they are considered king designates.

The Org. and GB also know, that as you say, there is no credibility to this religion, without the anointed.
Without them, they are the same as every other church.

Since the ten kings will be destroyed along with the Beast (Rev.20:10,14,15), anointed do have to be "plucked out" of the Org/beast (so to speak), if we are to remain standing during Jesus' inspection of his slaves (Dan.7:8,5; Matt.25:19; Luke 21:36).

Thanks for asking. Please let me know if this is still unconvincing, or if you still have a question.

PART TWO

Pearl, you gave me Rev.17,

"12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 
If they are already kings,but wait till the one hour to have authority..how can the beast turn on the harlot ? this means any anointed who aren't part of the GB,but part of the Org/beast,turn on other anointed. is this the period Jesus spoke of as the wicked slave beating its fellow slaves ? DFing anointed by the anointed in the GB counts as that 'beating' doesn't it ?
The beast seems to only have power for one hour..compared to the rest of the time of its existence..or is the one hour referring to the time of turning on the harlot. It must include that,but I'm getting at is,the beast has had power all during these many years,but "authority" must come from somewhere to kill the harlot in that "one hour".
How can the org..beast..continue without the harlot/GB. This means that the org will have no direction?


REPLY:

The "kings of the earth" are not already ruling kings, because they have not yet received their kingdom.
I don't really understand your first question. 
It may help to consider that they are only kings with the Beast (in YHVH's eyes) because they have already been anointed. 

(Once David was anointed as King, everyone knew who the king would be, but he didn't begin his reign, until Saul was finished.)

As Paul said at  1Cor.4:8,
You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

Paul did not say the anointed are NOT KINGS, He said that they began their reign prematurely, and should wait to receive their rule when God's kingdom comes and God gives their final inheritance to them (Mark 10:40,42,43,44). 
Otherwise, they rule physically, during THIS world, under Satan, ahead of time (John 6:15; Matt.4:8,9;  1John 5:19 b).
This is exactly the case with these 10 kings, as well as the GB.

The one hour is likely the last hour...when the Beast becomes the eighth king (Rev.17:11; Dan.7:8;  2Thess.2:3,4,9). It itself rules, after it gets rid of the Harlot ruling over it (Rev.17:16,17). 
By "killing" the Harlot, the 10 kings have taken action as reigning Kings with the Beast...ruling. They are successors to the GB anointed...But not without the Beast. They are always part of the Beast...the Beast's horns (Rev.13:1; 17:12).
Yes,
you are correct...the anointed kings who rule with the Beast, will, with the Beast, turn on the GB (Rev.17:16,17).
To make this plain,
the Organization of elders, overseers, and committees (anointed or not),
will all decide that the GB must go.

When the 10 king anointed turn on the Harlot, this is not the period that Jesus spoke of as the Steward beating his fellows (Matt.24:45,48,49). 
This is the point where the Harlot is punished for being  the Steward who beats his fellows (1John 3:10).
The Steward beats the slaves UNDER him. 
The Harlot is not under anyone human**. She is OVER the other anointed inside the Org.. She is the Steward, previous to the Beast's attack. God promised that the Harlot would drink the same cup she dished out. (Rev.18:5,6)
When the Beast gets sick of her and her exposed sins, her hour to pay the piper, will come.(Rev.18:8)
**[While the last harlot reigns, she is "under"/serving, her mother covenant (Babylon the Great -Rev.17:5) and Satan (Rev.9:11; 13:4; 9:1)].

Rev.17:12 DOES NOT SAY that the Beast only has authority for one hour. 
It says that the KINGS  rule ONE HOUR, WITH the Beast. The KINGs do not rule, until that one hour WITH the Beast. 

It does not say that the Beast is not already ruling. 
It already is, but not over the Harlot...but within all the congregations (Rev.13:2,5,7,8; 9:3,5,7) which include the ten kings.
 The GB rules all, through the elders (rides the Beast) Rev.17:3,15,18. 
This is why the locust scorpions have "what seems like golden crowns". Even while wearing those crowns, they are under the fallen star who gives them their authority/power (Rev.9:1,2,3; Isa.23:8-9); 
just as the two horned beast gives "breath" to the "Image" of the Beast (authority as "spirit directed") Rev.13:11,15; 9:1. ("He was granted power to give breath/spirit" (to Beast image) "to him was given the key" to give "authority" (to Locust/Scorpions)---same event)
--(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/02/who-is-false-prophet-who-gives-breath.html)
The GB/Wormwood is given power by Satan, to empower the beast/locust-scorpions/Image of Beast (Rev.9:1 "key"). The goal is for those locust/scorpions  to "sting"/persecute/paralyze/deceive, the anointed in the Org., so that they don't get sealed (Rev.9:4,5).
Another parallel is when the fallen star "Wormwood" (Rev.8:10,11;9:1), opens the abyss to release/give birth to/give breath to  the "crowned" locust-scorpions/wild beast image (Rev.9:2,3; 13:15).
This image which is given breath, is then seen as having breath/spirit.
In the Bible, "spirit" and "breath" are the same word )(Greek:pneuma/Hebrew:nephesh) Gen.2:7; Ps.146:4
The "image"/idol of the Beast, is then seen as "spirit directed".

The beast has always had horns (Rev.13:1; 17:12). This tells us that it always had the anointed kings inside it. But those anointed could only rule as the elders are permitted to do, just like the rest of the Beast/non-anointed elders ("with the beast" Rev.17:12). 
When that one hour arrives, the anointed inside the Org. will join with the Beast in turning on the GB. When the Beast rules without  the Harlot (as the eighth king), the anointed kings inside it will then "receive authority" with it also.
 This is a new reign, because it is free of the Harlot's dominion over it.
Yet the "one hour" need not only be a clue to chronology...but rather a comparison also... 
They gave up an eternal rule with Christ, for one hour to share authority with a wild animal...
animalistic men 
who have not been trained by, and who are not in subjection to, the Word of God (tamed)  2Pet.2:12; Jude 1:10.

The Beast got it's authority long before the one hour...right from Satan himself (Rev.13:2). 
The "Image" got it's authority before the one hour...right from Wormwood/FalseProphet/Harlot/GB/two-horned  herself (Rev.13:11,15).
At the time of birth, the Beast already had the 10 kings inside it / 10 horns (Rev.13:1; 17:12). (https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2018/05/ten-horns-seven-heads.html)
The anointed inside only have authority as part of the beast (it's horns) if they too, are elders (WITH the beast).

Non-anointed Elders and overseers have held high office in the Organization for a long time. That power is growing in comparison to all anointed. 
If you have been paying attention to the changing doctrines being taught at WT Bible studies, you may have recognized that they are lowering the anointed more and more...and raising the non-anointed elders more and more (2Thess.2:4; Ec.10:5,6,7; Dan.8:11,24; 12:7; Rev.11:2; Matt.24:15). 
This has enabled the disfellowshiping of the anointed who reject the false teachings and false authority of the Beast/elders (Rev.13:15; 11:7). To do so is to reject the Image that this Org. of non-anointed elders is spirit-directed.
 But in time...this disrespect of anointed and the viewing of them as inferior to the elders, will finally come around to the GB. 
The Org. will realize the hypocrisy, and come to regard the GB in the same way as they do the rest of the anointed.
They will call them into account for their sins. They will finally see "her" for what "she" is (Rev.17:16,17; Nahum 3:5).

The Beast has always had authority. But it was given that authority from Satan, through the ruling  apostate anointed....the GB/Harlot/false prophet (Rev.13:11,12,15; Dan.8:24; Matt.24:49; Jer.51:7; Rev.17:2), who was given the key to Satan's Abyss (Rev.9:1), from where the Beast comes (Rev.11:7; 9:2,3; 13:1)   (Abyss=sea=deep=realm of the spiritually dead=pit).
The Beast rules without the HARLOT anointed, for one hour, as the eighth king (Rev.17:11). The ten kings (horns) inside the Beast, rule with it. 
They never rule without the authority of the Beast...but rather..."GIVE their kingdom to the Beast" Rev.17:17
[...the opposite of Jesus and the anointed, who never rule without the Father's authority (Rev.4:10,11), and give Him  all credit for their crowns].

The Org. is already almost fully independent from the GB. 
Over the years, the Org. has taken on more and more responsibility that the GB used to do. The writing committees now determine what material is put in the publications.
All Corporation decisions have been taken from the GB already. They are already reduced to figureheads. This occurred gradually over the years. The stage is set for the ridding of the Harlot.

PART THREE

Pearl,

You also said,

"and many are so afraid of the Beast that they walk away from truth."
This is what i don't understand..if you are anointed,then you must be sure of that..true ? Then how could anyone be afraid the Org. I'm still getting my head around the fact that the Org might be the beast...but if you are anointed, why be afraid ? Isn't Jesus going to back you. Are they afraid of being expelled ?

ANSWER:

The anointed are capable of unfaithfulness, despite the insight spirit has granted them. There were 5 foolish virgins (Matt.25:2).
You would be surprised how powerful the idea of being disfellowshipped is, especially for those who have families who have been "witnesses" for many generations.
This gives them a sense of pride. They don't want to face that the Organization is really the "abomination"...abhorrent and disgusting in God's eyes.
They don't want to lose their stature with men, given them by a glorious "mountain-like" Organization (Rev.8:8).
They know they will absolutely be disfellowshipped by non-anointed elders if they stick to truth (Rev.11:2).
And remember...
Jesus said that if the anointed don't keep holy spirit (because they are putting the Org. before God, Jesus, scripture, and truth)
then even what little spirit and insight they have, will be taken from them (Matt.13:12 b).
Without spirit, they can not "be sure of what is true".
Their lamps grow dark (Matt. 25:8; Luke 11:34).
Only those who love Jesus more than approval with men, are willing to be spiritually "killed" by disfellowshipping 
(Rev.12:11; 15:2; 13:15; 11:7; Matt.10:39; John 16:2; Mark 8:35).

You are as surprised as me, that the anointed are intimidated into subjection to the Beast, but it was foretold that they would be (Rev.9:4,5,10; 13:4).
They know they must submit or be disfellowhipped. They have no other choice...for "who can do battle" with the Organization, and win (Rev.13:4)???
Trust me...I myself and many other anointed can attest to this reality. It does not matter how many scriptures you bring up to reason with a judicial committee of non-anointed elders. If you don't accept the cerebral mark of slavery to the Organizational Beast....you're out! (Rev.13:15,16)
For many anointed with relatives inside the Org....they are older and have even been living at Bethel.
To accept the true identity of the Organizational Beast, means to lose everything of this life. 
Only if they are willing to join the group of "ten kings" and sacrifice their future kingdom with Christ by handing it over to the Beast (Rev.17:17),
can they avoid "death" (Rev.11:7).

Eighth King / Punishment of the Great Harlot

Question:
"You said, 'The GB/last harlot, will soon be undone by it's own pet, as the wild beast from the "sea" itself becomes the eighth king without her. (Rev.17:11-12)'
In another blog, you point out that when the GB is removed, then no-one can then "flee" anymore, as this is like the final attack on Jerusalem. What would be the purpose of the 8th King, if you haven't escaped? What could he accomplish that already hasn't happened? If Anointed are sealed at this point, is the 8th King the time for non anointed to wake up? Thanks!"

My Reply:
The Beast itself could not remove the harlot, unless it usurped her authority.
This makes the Beast the eighth king, along with all anointed left inside who rule "with the Beast".
If we look back to the example the scriptures left us of the last covenant age to end;
we know that the Jewish religious leaders used the Romans to kill Christ,
and the present day harlot uses the Gentile elders to "kill" the Christs.
Both sets of religious leaders being divorced from their favor with God,
are then destroyed by those same killers.

I would not definitively assert that God will not accept repentant ones, 
no matter when it is that they awaken to their sin, as long as their motive for sorrow is not self-serving 
(2Cor.7:9-10; Ezra 9:6;  2Tim.2:25-26).
Many that leave the Org. today, do not do so out of a love of and loyalty to, scripture. Most reasons are selfish ones.

But we should take note that Rev.18:4 tells us to get out of the covenant of death ("Babylon the Great") and her present harlot daughter, if we do not want to share in her sins and receive part of her plagues.
Getting out of her would no longer be possible, if she is already gone.

   (It should also be noted, that God is telling His own people to get out ("my people" Rev.18:4). 
    He is addressing His own priests 
(1Pet.2:10,9; Eze.37:23,27;  2Cor.6:16; Rev.21:3)
    This is a conundrum for the WT. They teach that "Babylon the Great" is "Christendom".
    Yet they also teach that there are no anointed in "Christendom". So how is it that
    the anointed would be commanded to come out of "Christendom"? 
    No...God's chosen priests are being commanded to come out of what was God's City,
    which has now turned their back on God, under the wicked steward's leadership.) Zech.8:3; Isa.1:21

Once the Org./Beast turns on "her", the punishment of her plagues is already released.
It is no longer possible to escape sharing in her punishment. 
So, it is not that it is too late to repent, 
but it is too late to repent as a means to avoid the harlot's punishment.
What is "part of her plagues"? 
The Beast turning on her is one. The very Gentiles she used on her brothers 
(Rev.13:15; 11:7; 6:9; 18:24; Jer.51:49; Matt.23:35,37; Rev.11:7,8),
come around to her (Rev.17:16; Eze.16:37,39; 23:9,17,22,28,35; Hosea 2:3,10; Nahum 3:5-6). 
This is the plague of the locust-scorpions (constituents of the Gentile Wild Beast).
For a time, that plague is only on the unsealed who are dominated by the Org. (Rev.9:3-4,5,10; 13:7)
Only "a third" who are disciplined, repent (Rev.9:18,20; 8:7-8,9-10,11-12; Zech.13:8-9) 
(Jer.3:3; Amos 4:4-5,9,11-12; Rev.6:1-2,8,16-17).
During that time of discipline for unfaithfulness, the "rest" are protected (Rev.7:1,3; 9:4).
But after all are sealed (and the eighth king installs itself);
All inside the Beast will be plagued by these agents of the abyss (Rev.8:10-11; 9:1-3; 13:4,7; 11:7), especially as these locust-scorpions become so arrogant and puffed up so as to usurp all the genuine priests (Jer.46:23; Joel 2:2; Eze.2:6). That plague has already started, as we await the final harlot's demise when it finally reaches her. Examples abound of those who share in the misery that this plague is causing, as their prideful disposition matures in preparation for the harlot's punishment.
Her lies and sins will also catch up with her (Isa.28:15,17-18,19-20), which is part of why the Beast turns on her.
   [How do we know that all the anointed are done being sealed when they harlot is turned on? (Rev.14:16; Luke 3:17)
By a comparison of Rev.6:9-10,11 (Rom.6:5) and Rev.19:2, we see that the avenging of the harlot does not occur until the faithful are done being killed by her, for their testimony of divine truths 
(Rev.17:6; Mark 8:35; Rev.12:10-11) (Rev.13:15).]


Once the Gentile Organization becomes the eighth king (Rev.17:11-12); all still inside are no longer worshiping the image of the Wild Beast because of the false prophet/wicked steward's priestly directive to do so (Rev.13:14-15,8; 19:20).
They are then simply worshiping directly, a Gentile god 
(Ex.23:24; Deut.29:25-26,27; Jer.44:3; Dan.11:37-38,39,30-31). 

When the wayward kings in ancient Israel became apostate, they set up "high places" of false worship, and expected the people to worship these false gods. All the land was guilty of sin, but the kings were primarily blamed, because they were responsible as the leaders of God's people for the way in which they lead the people.
If the people worship directly, with no leader directing them to do so,
then they bear the complete responsibility for their sin before God. 

This standard was demonstrated in the wilderness,
while Moses went up the mountain to receive God's commands.
All those insistent on worshiping the golden calf, perished (Ex.32:35,2,27-28).
Perhaps within God's justice, this exclusive idolatry to the Gentile Idol must reach this point of full, free, and independent choice, 
before all still inside bear their own guilt, and are fully judged as condemned 
(Rev.14:18-19; 16:7; Joel 3:13).

You may notice that after the Beast and ten kings destroy the last harlot,
they actually regret it. The ten kings fear her torment...not wanting to provoke the beast to similarly turn on them (Rev.18:9-10).
The "merchants" who dispensed her "riches" and carried on her spiritual "trade";
regret her collapse (Rev.18:11,15; Eze.27:27). They can no longer carry on the commerce of her exposed lies, and the power it gave them. But they are also forced to see that their form of godly devotion is impotent without God's priesthood and designated leadership. 
This is why the Beast will decide to co-rule with the "ten kings" who "have not yet received their kingdom" (Rev.17:12). 
Those 'ten' will continue to try to reform and build up this organizational "mountain", in direct opposition to God's incoming kingdom of Zion (Rev.17:12-13,14).
This is the reason why those seeking reform of the Beast are blinded, and stand to make the error of identifying themselves with the fulfillment of the "ten kings".

Already, "Jehovah's Witnesses" are losing sight of the fact that the only thing that distinguishes their religion from the rest of "Christendom", is their being lead by those genuinely called and chosen priests of God (Mal.2:7; Rev.5:9-10). This was the foundation of their religion, without which, they will realize they themselves are undone.
This bleak consequence is a part of the burden of guilt they deserve as the foretold "abomination of desolation"/disgusting thing standing where it does not belong"...
(Mark 13:14; Matt.24:15-16;  2Thess.2:4; Rev.13:7; 11:2; Dan.11:36,31-33; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24; Col.2:8; Dan.8:11-13,17; 7:25), 
...and are due to experience, for their treatment to the Israel of God. 

The ten kings/toes, that rule with the beast (Dan.7:23-24,25; 2:40-41; Rev.17:12,1-2)(Rev.5:9-10; 1:5-6)...., 
     https://pearl-kingsofearth.blogspot.com
....will give their priesthood and royal position, over to serve the Beast Org (Rev.17:17 ESV)... rather than employ it to serve God (Rev.4:10-11).
They never take executive control as the harlot had, but remain subject to the Beast as co-rulers, giving credit to the Beast for their position (Rev.17:17 ESV).
This stands in contrast to the 24 elders, who attribute their "crowns", to God (Rev.4:10-11).

We know that when the fall of Jerusalem took place physically, escape became impossible. Due to Rev.6:9-10,11 and Rev.19:2, we know that at least for the chosen, the opportunity to be sealed (by expulsion for faithfulness -John 16:2; Rev.6:11; 19:8) is past, once we see the harlots' demise. 
God has always forgiven the repentant (Eze.18:27; 33:11). But when Judgment Day arrives and that final judgment comes to pass; There comes a point, when repentance (Isa.55:7), becomes futile (Rev.22:11; Isa.1:15; Jer.11:14). 

Yet when referring to the final fulfillment of Jerusalem's fall, Jesus said that with God, such escape was made possible for those who find favor with God (Luke 18:26-27; Matt.24:22,13; Eze.14:14). That favor though, requires obedience (Matt.24:15-16; Luke 17:30-34,35-37; Rev.18:4) at the right time.
    (https://eagle-or-vulture-obadiah.blogspot.com/)
    (LINK:Flee-Where?)
Most of the deaths inside Jerusalem, were not by direct Roman warfare. The siege caused famine and thirst, yes, but many of the deaths also resulted from infighting...factions...brother against brother (Eze.38:21).
When the Romans finally did enter the City, they took live captives (over 100,000), which were then dispersed and made impotent among the Gentile nations. In a spiritual sense, this is already a reality for God's chosen ones 
(2Chron.16:9;  1Cor.11:17-18; Gal.5:15,26; Eze.22:15; Matt.24:7,8).
The priests are already dominated by the Gentiles (Luke 21:20-21,22,24; Rev.11:2; 13:7,10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24).

Revelation should not be viewed as a physical calendar, but as a book of symbolic illustrations that combine, to shed light on unfolding circumstances.
We do know that Christ warns us to flee when we, as individuals, catch sight of the disgusting thing. (Matt.24:15-16)
For those who are abandoned to the final deceptions, due to an unrighteous heart, escape is impossible 
(2Thess.2:11,10,12;  2Cor.4:3; Eze.14:16,20; Matt.10:36,21,35,37).

Although the unsealed are disciplined as they suffer the plague of locust-scorpions,
some are refined, repent, and are saved 
( Mal.3:1-2,3; Zech.13:9; Isa.48:10; Dan.11:35; 12:10). 
They remove the slave-yoke of the Beast and are set free from their captivity to it (Rev.15:2). As a result of this insurrection against Satan's minions, they are "killed" (sentenced to death), by that Gentile Beast (Rev.13:11,15; 11:7; John 16:2).

God is interested in more than just the anointed. When the chosen ones prove unworthy of the wedding banquet because of their preoccupation (Matt.22:5; Luke 17:31) with existing spiritual commerce (Rev.13:17; Matt.25:10); 
God commands that everyone fleeing the City of apostate "Jerusalem" be invited to attend to partake of the provisions that have been prepared (Matt.22:8-9,10; 24:28; Rev.19:9; 22:17).

For those who remain inside after the Beast has become their god,
it will be exceedingly difficult for those who accept this idolatry and are in a spiritual stupor, to wake up and flee. 
(Rev.13:8; 18:3; Jer.51:7; Isa.24:20-21; 1:4;  1Chron.28:9)

I tend to conclude that the end of the period of escape...the end to seeking God's favor and protection,
will not end due to God shutting the door. "Anyone that wishes" can "partake of life's waters for free" (Rev.22:17; James 1:5). I tend to think that it is Satan who will bring the end of the opportune time. God will allow it, when He reads all hearts, and sees that all have made their definite choice of worship.
The harvest will reach it's end.
Yet these conclusions and thoughts are my own, based upon what I now see in the scriptures.
Perhaps some things about the finale will remain unknown, until they are taking place (Rev.10:4).
Afterward, we will understand the justice of God, and the reason for all that happened (Eze.14:21-22,23; Rev.6:7-8).

I'm sorry I couldn't...at this time, provide a fuller answer.
I hope something of what I said addresses your need.
If a fuller answer to your questions is revealed in the future,
I will release it. I suspect that as Holy Spirit helps me to write the book about Revelation;
there will be much more insight provided about these things by means of scripture.
As I work on it, I am experiencing that this is the case.

Thank you for your good thoughts,

" Love your Enemies "

"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matt.5:43-48)

"Be blessing those who persecute you; bless and do not profess a loathing for them." (Rom.12:14)

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and the evil." (Luke 6:35)

Who are our enemies?

They are those who hate us (Luke 1:71; 6:27) (symbolic-death)...
those who intimidate, oppose, mislead, and threaten us, into subjection to them (Luke 1:74; Rev.13:15,7;  2Thess.2:3-4;  1Cor.3:16; Eze.44:6-7,8-9; Matt.24:15-16) 
LINKS:(dsgstg-thing(obey-men?(mark-of-slavery(who-are-gods?)

They oppress, restrain/"hold back", tear down, and seek to destroy our power, and our service to God (2Thess.2:6,8; Hab.1:4; Luke 19:43; 21:24,20; Rev.20:9; Matt.24:24-25;  1John 2:26; 3:7;  1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13-14,15-16; 13:11,15; 2:20; 19:20) (Dan.7:25; 8:11-12; 11:36; 12:7; Rev.13:7,10). They successfully bring about the greatest tribulation ever to befall God's chosen people (G.T.-why?).
Those who oppose, set their minds on the "earthly" things of this world (Col.3:2; James 3:15-16;  1John 2:15-16; James 4:4; Eph.2:2; 6:12;  2Cor.12:20; Rom.2:8; Mark 10:42-43,44; James 1:27; Matt.6:19; Luke 12:19-20; Rev.3:17-18;  1Cor.4:6-7,8-9,10-11,12-13,14; Mark 4:18-19). 
A disposition of greed overwhelms them, and they lose their spiritual senses, evidenced by their vile conduct (2Pet.2:3; Phil.3:18-19; Isa.56:11; Jer.6:13; Hosea 4:8; Micah 7:3; James 3:16; Hab.2:4; Ps.49:12-13,14; Eph.4:19-20).
They fight against the divine authority and power, which we fear and honor (2Cor.5:11; Luke 19:27; Rev.17:14) (grieving-spirit). This is because they are backed by our greatest enemy, the Devil (1Pet.5:8; Eph.2:2; Rev.13:4; Prov.15:27; Matt.4:8-9; Rev.9:1,11; Isa.33:1) (Matt.13:25,39).

How should we react to the unfaithful?
We should admonish the elect among us (Eph.4:25; Gal.6:1-2,3; Amos 5:14; Jude 1:23; Zech.3:2,8;  1Tim.5:20) who have turned aside from the way of Christ (Acts 26:18; Col.2:19; John 15:4-5;  1John 5:16), and have fallen prey to Satan's temptations (Matt.4:8-9; Rev.13:4; 17:3). If they refuse to "listen" (Gal.4:16; Acts 13:10; John 3:20; Heb.6:5-6; 10:26) and turn around and rip us open Matt.7:6;  2Pet.2:21; John 13:34;  1John 3:12,15; 4:20; Matt.10:21; Jer.9:4-5), 
...then we expose their falsehoods... 
               [Prov.28:4; Isa.58:1; Num.10:9; Isa.48:2,14; (Rev.17:16-17); 
                Micah 3:8-9,10-11; Jer.23:17; 7:4; 5:12;  1Thess.5:3; 
                Eze.13:10; Amos 9:10; Eph.5:6; Rev.13:10; Luke 21:24]
               [Rev.2:15-16,12; 19:15,14; Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17;  2Thess.2:8
            *Hosea 7:16; 
               ("Egypt" and "Sodom" exist today- Rev.11:3,8. 
                The ridicule the "two witnesses" endure "on the 
                broadway of the Great City", 
                        (at the hand of the harlot -Isa.66:5), 
                will come back upon her Rev.18:6; *Hosea 7:16);       
                Jer.23:14; Deut.32:32-33; Rev.13:11] 
                [Eph.5:11-12,13; Luke 10:19]
...and try to counteract their inebriating effect (Rev.18:3; Jer.51:7;  1Pet.1:13; 4:7; 5:8;  1Thess.5:6; Titus 2:12), by declaring obedience to Christ (2Cor.10:3-4,5; Rev.17:14; 19:11,14,8) and the word of God (Jer.23:29; Ps.2:9; Rev.2:26-27; Jer.5:14NIV ; Rev.11:5; 20:9) ("Fire from Heaven").

God's Word also admonishes us to love our enemy. 
We are to imitate Him in this (Eph.5:1; Phil.2:15)...
  "He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matt.5:45) The "sun" and "rain" are God's judgments and teachings (Hosea 6:5; Deut.32:2), which we freely offer to sinners (2Cor.2:17; Prov.3:27; Gal.6:10;  2Tim.3:16-17).
Love includes discipline, when needed (Heb.12:5-6; Rev.3:19; Jer.35:15; 25:4-5; 26:5-6,13; 18:11; 17:23; Jer.5:14NIV Rev.11:5; 20:9)(fire-from-heaven).
Although God's words of discipline may seem painful, those who choose to heed it (Job 5:17-18; Prov.27:6; 28:23; 3:11) will be blessed (Eze.18:30-31; 33:11; Isa.59:20; Acts 3:19; Heb.12:11; Ps.94:12; 141:5).

Genuine Christians today, also have enemies (2Tim.3:12; Matt.10:36; Mark 13:13;  1Cor.15:24; John 16:2). Foremost, are those who have a large amount of followers (Matt.24:4-5;  2Thess.2:9-10,11-12; Rev.20:8; Matt.7:13-14; Rev.13:11,8,14-15; 19:20; 16:13-14;  1Tim.4:1).
The core of the Wicked Steward/Harlot/"False Prophet's" sins (in God's estimation), are what I have been called by Yhwh's Spirit, to reveal (Dan.12:4,9-10; Rev.20:12; 1:19; 22:10,6-7; Hab.2:2; Rev.10:7). 
Those sins include:
 resisting Holy Spirit, by suppressing, taking captive, restraining, and oppressing, the anointed body of Christ; 
 the Harlot's fornication with Satan himself -- in order to gain dominion, power, and the sorcery of deception; and her murder of Christ's brothers.

God's own anointed priests have been overcome by this. the greatest of all, tribulations (G.T.-why?), 
as the false prophet decrees that all must worship the image of the Beast (WT Org.) under threat of "death" (Rev.13:15)(symbolic-death),  carried out by the collective Beast (Rev.11:7)... which is the power upon which the harlot/false prophet/wicked steward, sits enthroned (Rev.17:3).

 The present wicked steward is drawing dark deception up from the abyss of death, to feed her peoples with bitter wormwood waters 
    (Rev.8:10-11; 9:1,11; 17:1,15; Prov.7:26-27; 5:5,3-4; Rev.10:10-11; Eze.3:3-4; Zech.5:1,4,7-8,10-11; Rev.17:3;  2Thess.2:9
(fallen-star) (locust-scorpions-Abaddon) (who-has-key-to-abyss?),  
   and the sting of sin and death through her "locust-scorpion" minions 
(Rev.9:3,10; Eze.2:6;  1Cor.15:56; Luke 10:19). 
They have rejected God's message through His prophets, and blasphemed God's spirit, which His prophets' express (Rev.11:3; Jer.26:5-6; John 16:13; Amos 3:7; Rev.22:6;  1Cor.14:32;  2Pet.1:21; Matt.10:20; Mark 3:29; Rev.18:4). 
(prophecy-cease?) (sin-against-spirit) (grieving-holy-spirit)

Does this mean, that I hate the Harlot and her beast?

When it comes to vengeance upon the Harlot, I leave that in God's hands (Rev.6:9-10,11; 19:1-2). He will repay (Rom.12:19; Deut.32:35,4;  1Pet.2:23; 4:19). He is perfect justice, and the only source of it. 
Holy Spirit has directly instructed me in what I must do. My job is to declare how God sees things, and not to get involved in what the wicked are planning and what they will do to avenge themselves (Ps.1:1)... even though the imminent attack of the "ten kings" and "Beast" upon the Harlot, is according to the will of God 
(Mal.2:8-9;  1Pet.2:8; Rev.17:16-17) (Mark 9:42; Rev.18:21). 
  Though they do God's will when attacking the wicked steward/Harlot, they are still conspiring against God, His Kingdom, and His genuine heirs (Ps.83:5; 2:1-6). Like the previous harlot, the "ten kings" (kings-of-earth?) seek alliance with the Beast/"disgusting thing"/counterfeit Temple and "kingdom" of impostors (2Tim.3:1,5,7,13;  2Cor.11:15). They must reap what they have sown (2Cor.5:10). 

If we forgive others of their debts toward us, we will be forgiven (Matt.6:14; 5:7; 18:35). 
I have tasted and swallowed the power of demonic deception, as I myself was also deceived. So I know that what they do, is largely due to blindness (Luke 23:34).
I just don't feel that it's my place to condemn or conspire (Jude 1:9;  1John 1:8-9,10; Rom.3:23; John 8:7), other than obeying God's direction and conveying His condemnation (John 12:48; 13:20). 
What I speak is sourced with visions of God, and not from me (Num.12:6;  2Pet.1:21; Matt.10:20).
(Acts 4:19-20)

I remember how angry Jonah was when God forgave Nineveh (Jonah 4:1,3). He forgot that his message of condemnation to Nineveh, was God's, and not his own (Jonah 1:2-3; 3:2,4). The people he condemned didn't know their left hand from right (Jonah 4:11). Satan is using such ignorance today (Isa.44:20), to give support to the murderous beast (Rev.13:8). The Beast is followed with admiration, rather than being seen for the blasphemy it represents (Rev.13:3 c; Rev.13:1 e; Rev.13:5-6). If we think about what Jesus said about the goats being on his left hand and the sheep on his right hand (Matt.25:33); Do we clearly distinguish the goats on Christ's left, and the sheep on his right?
Think about how that the same ignorance is rampant today, according to these scriptures....
(Isa.5:20; Matt.7:15; 24:24; Prov.17:15) 
When "wolves" are dressed in sheep's covering, those who do not have discernment, think they are sheep. They think the genuine sheep of Christ, are wolves/goats/apostates. Yet the distinction between goats and sheep, has now begun to be revealed (Luke 8:17).
(Mal.3:18; Rom.8:19; John 16:13,8) (2Thess.2:3,8;  2Pet.3:10;  1Cor.3:13; Nahum 3:4-5,6; Eze.16:37; Hab.2:16; Jer.25:28-29; Isa.28:17-18,19-20,21; Acts 13:41).
  Like God, Jonah should have had compassion on a city full of repentant humans and their animals (Jonah 4:11), and prayed to God on their behalf, for mercy (Matt.5:7; James 2:13; Hosea 6:5-6). 

We do this, even though our enemy displays no mercy toward us  (1Pet.3:9; Prov.20:22)
Since the "harlot's" "Beast" killed us for our faithful testimony to truth, robbed us of our divine inheritance/priesthood, and even our literal and spiritual children (Rev.9:7; Jer.6:23;  2Kings 8:12) (pregnant/nursing-mothers) (Eze.36:12), there continues to be no mercy. They build their city on bloodshed, the blood of the innocent and powerless 
(Hab.2:12; Nahum 3:1; Prov.6:16-17; Jer.2:34-35; Rev.18:7,24; 16:6; 17:6; Jer.51:49). 
In fear for them, I pray for them 
(Luke 21:26; 6:28;  1Thess.5:15;  1Pet.2:21-22,23).

I must reveal who the harlot is (as well as her sins), but it is not my place to scorn, conspire against, or rip her apart (1Cor.13:2) as the "hated birds", "ten kings" and "Beast" are now going to do. We know that the prophecies about the collective harlot and beast will surely come to pass, but there is still hope for the individual members within, if they get out (2Cor.6:16-17,18; Rev.18:4; Isa.52:11; Jer.51:6,9; Rev.18:5).
 When I confront the GB in a letter that I am sure they will receive, I will do it directly and personally, just as commanded (Luke 17:3-4; Lev.19:18;  2Tim.2:24-25,26), even though the governing body did not obey those words, when I myself was "beaten" and expelled by their decree (Matt.18:15; 5:23-24), through their Beast.
As was done by God for Christ; those who remain the enemies of the faithful, are to be made as a stool for their feet 
(Matt.22:44; Mark 16:19; Rev.3:21; 2:26-27; 3:9).
(Ps.27:14; 38:15; 130:5; 25:3)
