"Natural-minded men read of the “kings of the earth” and can only conceive of the outward and the literal. To them it bespeaks the actual kings, prime ministers, and presidents of the visible nations of earth. Though there is on one level a fulfillment in that realm, the quickening of the spirit upon the truth so vital for God’s elect bids me look beyond the letter of the word, and receiving of the spirit of the word, and considering that the book of Revelation is a spiritual book addressed to a spiritual people, we find that all that pertains to the kingdoms of this world lies first and foremost right within the heart of man, and there have been so many kings which have ruled within us, and as His kingdom unfurls its banner over our lives, these kings are subdued and brought to naught."
"In the symbolism of the book of Revelation “heaven” answers to the realm of the spirit, “earth” answers to the dimension of the soul, while the “sea” signifies the body realm of flesh. Thus “earth” denotes the soulical realm both within and without, which is also the religious realm of man and the world. We know, of course, that the harlot is first the soul of our individual life which abandons its union with the spirit and fornicates with the flesh, but she is also an outward and corporate expression in the earth as the carnal or soulish church systems of man. This realm has its “kings,” too! And then there are the kings or rulers of the nations with which the wanton harlot also commits fornication. You see, my beloved, we are dealing here not merely with the specific kings of any particular one of these realms, but with the divine principle that includes and applies to them all! Hers is a long career or harlotry, spread out over long centuries of time, and experimented with in many different realms and on various levels of experience."
Much more in the link:
The harlot is false religion, the roman catholic church in particular, and this couldn't be more obvious. You have to ignore the whole entire Bible, like God is some babbling fool, to arrive at these insane interpretations. If anyone would ask you what the biggest problem in the world is today, the same that it's been all through the history of the world, you're going to tell me it's in my heart? My heart is causing the poor to suffer? This is absolute gibberish, unconnected with reality.
When the Bible says the kings of the Earth it's talking about the government. And if anybody would like to tell me that the government isn't the biggest problem we have in these days, pushing perversions, degeneracies and robbing its citizens blind, go ahead and prove me wrong.
The sole purpose of this insane interpretation is to take eyes off of the real problems in the world and place them somewhere where it's going to be real easy for the antichrist to solve them. And become a hero. And conquer everything.
It is spiritual Andy, it is not talking about natural things, that is the point, you keep pointing to the world outside and don't deal with the world within, where Jesus Christ desires to rule. The book of Revelation is about Jesus Christ conquering, first and foremost in you.
You receive the Holy Spirit when you are born again. The Holy Spirit then guides you into the Truth. satan has a spirit too and he guide you into the lies. Be careful throwing these spirit rocks around while spreading lies at the same time.
Just rehatching our conversation yesterday, is the Holy Ghost teaching you, are you a spiritual man, are you in the Spirit,?
We do indeed war with the devil, but Jesus had overcome it and we overcome it when we walk in His Spirit. Glad you are acknowledging spiritual things Andy, it is key to understand the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ who's spiritual kingdom we are a part of right now.
The Antichrist is not a person, it is not once named in Revelation. Look for the antichrist in you and kill it with the true Christ in you.
The antichrist is a man that the world will worship, and if they don't they will be killed. He has a shriveled up arm and is blind in one eye. He is killed and then he is resurrected and lives again. God has told you all these things. Are you calling God a liar? You are supposed to be the light of the world, shining the Truth, but you throw shade over the light. You cover it with a bushel basket.
The beast system is Babylon the spiritual religious system city, the Harlot is the influence of Babylon the Harlot is the soul that has left its spiritual mate, and run down to the spirit of this world; Babylon.
