Know you were being tongue in cheek. But you're missing the verse prior:
"
By your spiritistic practices all the nations were misled. Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those
who have been slaughtered on the earth.”"-Revelation 18:23-24.
So the prostitute, also known as Babylon the Great here uses spiritistic practices to mislead all the nations.
Who is usually at the lead when it comes to sending people to war and blessing them in the name of their god/gods? Is it not the religious leaders?
Who misleads by means of false religious teachings such as the soul is immortal, and that people can communicate with the dead who are sleeping and
have no knowledge or understanding? Is it not the religions of the world?
When she is destroyed we are told that the kings of the earth stand at a distance and say too bad, so she is not the political element. And she is
said to be a prostitute, because she sullies herself with the politics of the world, furthering her agendas by getting in bed with the world rulers,
participating in her politics and blessing the people who fight in wars.
She sits on and misleads the entire inhabited earth. Yes, she is the world-wide empire of false religion. All religions that have their roots in the
false religious teachings in ancient Babylon. The teachings of a Hellfire, a Trinity, the immortality of the soul, mother-son worship, to name a few.
These are threads that run through almost all religions on earth and get their roots in that ancient city where God confused the languages of the
people and had them spread abroad over all the earth. They separated but they carried with them the same false religious teachings that are at the
core of all false religions, including Christendom.
So she is all the religions that oppose Jehovah God, that gets involved with politics, and bless its members in fighting the carnal wars of this
earth. Instead of teaching the truth about the dead, and about Jehovah God, she teaches that the dead still live, and she is filled with demons by
which she misleads the people of the earth, by means of her sorceries, or spiritistic practices.
Yes, in false religion, including the religions of Christendom is found the bloodguilt of everyone ever slaughtered on the earth. Don't think God
won't bring her to account.
Yesterday a member on this board posted this verse to me trying to prove that the dead are alive:
"
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness
they had given. They shouted with a loud voice, saying: “Until when, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our
blood on those who dwell on the earth?” "-Revelation 6:9-10.
This shows us that the blood of God's holy prophets and his saints, whom religious leaders, starting with the prophets in Israel, Jesus Christ, and in
more modern times all the saints, by means of the Inquisition in the Catholic Church, etc have shed, they have always lead in murdering God's holy
ones, burning them at the stake, slaughtering them, that blood is calling out for justice to the God of the heavens. Because they hate God and oppose
God's people with a vicious hatred they not only murder God's chosen ones, they take delight and pleasure in doing it.
But this verse shows that God remembers the bloodguilt the Catholic Church, the Churches of Protestantism, and all the rest of the religions who get
involved with war and help in persecuting and murdering his witnesses on earth bare. He has not forgotten. Their blood cries out for justice to God in
the heavens and he will answer. He will bring false religion to account for all her spiritistic practices, and the hate she showed toward his
servants, and especially toward his great name Jehovah:
"
And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not
want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. Repay
her in the way she treated others, yes, pay her back double for the things she has done; in the cup she has mixed, mix a double portion for
her. To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For she keeps saying
in her heart: ‘I sit as queen, and I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning.’ That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and
mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong."-Revelation 18:4-8.
