According to revelation ,the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall bring the prostitute to ruin and burn her with fire.At the same time ,they kill the two witnessss of Jesus .


Revelation 17
16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

Revelation 11
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Now we understand this takes place at the same time because of the great earthquake which hits Jerusalem when the cloud ascends from Jerusalem.

Revelation 11
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Revelation 16:18-19
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.


Moreover ,the reason God gives Babylon the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath is because babylon worships the beast that came out of the sea,it's image and receives it mark.

Revelation 14
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.




So the question is,What are they who come in Jesus name ,doing in Babylon to begin with with?

The answer is,
They come in Jesus name and decieve the people in Jerusalem to receive the mark of the beast.


Jesus spoke of the coming of the two witnesses and their army at the beginning of his Olivet discourse.



Mathew 24
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.




Not everyone who comes in Jesus name speak the truth ,and not everyone who say they are in Christ are .The two prophets in revelation 11 and their army will decieve the people in Israel and they will receive the mark of the beast.That is what the two witnesses who come in Jesus name are doing with the prostitute.

Jesus,speaking of his servants at the time of his coming said some would be doing things they shouldn't.




Mathew 24
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

What do you think the prostitute is ? some woman ? or a System that prostitutes it's a way of their ways of life that equal that of a whore ? like the MSM and Socialist Governments are a Whore ! for they are Anti-Christ in fact, so they are leading the people astray, for they are Lost ! like a drunk fool is under a delusion and is being decived in fact.
As in Rev 11 :8 to 11.

The Whore is this world, the Lost ! for they who who recive the Mark are Lost.

It's not about the State, it's the world.

Factual Israel truly is the Servants of God ! The State you are on about is not truly worthy Israel yet. even the most devout Jews say that is the case.

The prostitute is that great city the two witnesses lay dead in .

Revelation 17
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 11
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.


Same city the great earthquake strikes at the time the two witnesses ascend into heaven in a cloud.


Revelation 16
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.




This hail reminds me of the lyrics of an old song.

What goes up ,must come down.
Spinning wheels ,got to go around.

It's an interesting theory, but I think it's more likely that the two witnesses were Ananus ben Ananus and Jesus ben Gamaliel, two Jewish high priests who were living in Jerusalem at the time of the Roman assault in 70 AD. Both tried to peacefully prevent the Udemian assault upon Jerusalem, and were both murdered for their troubles. The whore is of course Jerusalem.

The prostitute is of course Jerusalem, who was supposed to be the bride of Christ, but she prostituted herself out to idolatry. The entire chapter of Ezekiel 16 is devoted to describing Jerusalem as the adulterous wife. It only makes sense that the whore is she who was supposed to be loyal to God.

Thirteen times in that chapter, Jerusalem is described as a prostitute, after first describing the process by which she became the bride of God, adorned with jewelry and wealth. After reading that chapter, there can be no more debate about who the prostitute is.

I highly doubt those were the witnesses of Jesus Christ who occupy Jerusalem for 1260 days.


So you believe the resurrection took.place in 70 AD and all the prophets were resurected then too.


Do you have any proof the resurrection took.place in 70 AD?

Revelation 11
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Yes, I believe that. I believe we were all resurrected at that time. Prior to that time, the dead "slept in the earth". Now, we live forever.

Nope. Do you have any proof that Jesus performed miracles? Didn't think so.

Yes. Although God has long since divorced her, for her adultery, so she's just a distant memory.
Jerusalem is not a distant memory according to the word of God.As of now ,Jerusalem is governed by the beast which had the deadly wound and was healed.In a few years she will the judged.


Isaiah 1
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She once was full of justice;
righteousness used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!
22 Your silver has become dross,
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,
partners with thieves;
they all love bribes
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge myself on my enemies.
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b]
I will thoroughly purge away your dross
and remove all your impurities.
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called
the City of Righteousness,
the Faithful City.”

Amen read Ezekiel 16 and then revelation 18 they are talking about the same city.

Jesus tells us who Babylon the great the great prostitute is by directly tying revelation 18:24 to Matthew 23:35

You act like you want to teach something ,but you avoid any questions as though you don't know .

What kind of cloud ascends into heaven ,is accompanied by an earthquake and is caused by kingdom rising against kingdom?



Luke 21
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

The two witnesses come back to life and then ascend up into a cloud, and in the cloud are taken to heaven.

The earthquake does not happen at that moment, but later, not much later, within the same hour.

So their ascent to heaven is not accompanied by an earthquake - but later is followed by an earthquake.

-------------------------------------

The text does not say anything about kingdom rising against kingdom - being the reason for the two witnesses ascending to heaven.
But the great voice from heaven saying unto them - "Come up hither." Revelation 11:12


Revelation 11:
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Scripture does not say the great earthquake happens later.

It says it happens the same hour which could mean before.Now pay attention to what is written about the great earthquake.


Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.



Again.
What kind of cloud ascends into heaven and is accompanied by an earthquake?
If you don't know,you can always tell the truth and say you don't know.

The scriptures say the same hour there was an earthquake. Not as the two witnesses were ascending.

If the earthquake took place first - then the scriptures would have had the earthquake verse before the two witnesses ascend.

Scripture says the two witnesses lat in the street of the great city where their Lord was crucified.

Their Lord was not crucified in Vatican city.He was crucified in Jerusalem which the beast and ten horns attack.The prostitute.
