As a student of the WORD, more specifically PROPHECY, (this is where i take the time to remind my Christian Brothers- "We are COMMANDED to COVET PROPHECY"- one of the two most-lossed references our LORD makes).
Having said that; look my family- i know a lot of what i have said, or what i will still yet say- offends many, but i won't repent of the WORD, (i just won't do-it, if it offends- it should).
(i) have found (so far)- that ALL the LORD'S PROPHECIES, share some common traits:
(1) NONE are "mystical prognostications". Since the LORD built R-E-A-L-I-T-Y, from the back to the fore, (we have won the victory)- all prophecies from God, are a matter of HISTORY, (from Papa's perspective)- ERGO: they MUST transpire EXACTLY as stated.
(2) ALL prophecies of God transpire LITERALLY.
(3) SOME prophecies of God transpire in the SPIRITUAL, aswell as the PHYSICAL
(4) SOME prophecies of God, transpire MORE THAN ONCE.
Having said that, the "WOMAN" in Revelation, that sits "DRUNKEN" with the "BLOOD" of the "SAINTS"- is a "WHORE".
WOMAN = CHURCH, (or POTENTIAL BELIEVERS) that left thier FIRST-LOVE, (CHRIST) for OTHER GODS, (idolized lifestyles, sin in general)-ergo; a WHORE sits..
"DRUNKEN" is a reference to ACTIONS, (ie; a drunk speaks/acts as though he is beyond reprisal for his actions)-
"BLOOD", is a reference to abortion, it is also SPIRITUAL reference to those who once were Born Again, back-sliding by, or from example-
Having said that:
the woman, (i believe- and NOT- "thus sayeth the Lord")- is also a PHYSICAL reference to who is in power, (either in WASHINGTON,D.C.- or NYC- via United Nations)-
NOW, and only NOW in history, has there been an opprotunity for not just one woman- but (3) THREE women, to be alotted potentially to be President of this nation, (or soon- President of the United Nations).
Like any other MAN, i love WOMEN, so don't get all bunchy, i'm just saying, that everything i've just listed is TRUE, (doesn't matter what (i) think, about "boo").
Having said that: if we can get Ron Paul, into the Presidency- we buy a few-more years...Only all the Jewish people in Israel, can bring the Messiah back sooner- failing-that- please consider prayer.
