"As we have already shown there are two cities and two women presented in the book of Revelation. One of the cities is the holy city, New Jerusalem. The other is called Mystery Babylon. They are symbols and symbols are not what they are called, therefore neither of the two cities is a literal city somewhere on earth. If they are not cities, what are they? They are symbols of something else. If they were real cities, as many commentators suppose, they would not be among all the beautiful symbols of the book of Revelation, which is entirely a book of symbols. Most of the preachers today have the first city confused with other things. The vast majority think that New Jerusalem is a description of heaven; therefore they talk about the city as heaven, having golden streets and mansions over the hill-top. But New Jerusalem cannot be heaven because John sees it coming down from God out of heaven! Church theology today has the Holy City, Heaven, and the Kingdom of God all mixed up and confused. Confused -- oh, yes, that is the mark of Babylon! It is obvious they do not know what the New Jerusalem is, nor what Heaven is, nor what the Kingdom of God is!"

The false prophet is most likely the next pope. What you can see now is the catholic church leading what is called an ecumenical movement, which is the gathering of all denominations under a one world religion. All religions, islam, buddhism, even the Santa Claus god that SS worships will be folded in. When the antiChrist comes "down" from outer space (the fallen angels were booted out of the third Heaven into the 2nd Heaven, the stars) the pope will be there to hail him as the 2nd coming of Christ. Everybody will be really happy (what they all seek) for a little while anyway.
