Overview
I published ‘The One World Government’ in 2020 some 90 plus pages. Not conducive for a quick 10-minute read on the Internet. So I’ve divide it into a few manageable ‘Short Papers’, also revising some of my earlier work. Below I’ve given you the links to ALL the related ‘Short Papers’ on the “OWG”.. The One World Government Study. This basically gives you an index. The first four from the Futurist View (FV). The rest are from the Historical View (HV)!

Revision
In the talks entitled; OWG1 FV - The Origin Of The One World Government, I used the Futurist View to look at where the idea of a future One World Government came from, along with other important building blocks needed to formulate this study. In OWG2 FV - The Ten Toes, Horns Or Kings I explained the meanings of the Ten Toes, Horns Or Kings. In OWG3 FV - The Little Horn Dan 7 I examined the prophecies regarding the Little Horn. In OWG4 FV - The Time of the End I examined the prophecies regarding the Little Horn ie, the future antichrist and the final end of ‘The One World Government’. In OWG5 HV - The Historical View Reasoning we examined Why Do Historicists Think The Way they do? Mainly because of the differences in how they interpret some key scriptures. In OWG6 HV - The “Ten, Toes, Horns, Kings” we covered a lot of ground in Daniel 2. The ten kingdoms, they CAN NOT Unite, the ‘Stone Kingdom and finally the Beast of Dan 7. In OWG7 HV - [9] Characteristics of The Little Horn Daniel 7, we examine Nine Characteristics of the Little Horn in Daniel 7 that we can use to identify the antichrist. In OWG8 HV - Who Are The Saints Who Topple The Antichrist? I showed you that God has an earthly team He uses to destroy the antichrist. And is active through Daniel and parts of Revelation. In OWG9 HV - The Revelation, Heads, Horns and Crowns, I proved to you that the Revelation is in Three Parts. Giving us a conformation of God’s BIG Plan, using the Three Witnesses principal! In OWG10 HV - The Ten Horned Beast of Rev 13 I showed you some plausible fulfilment of the Ten Horns, the Two Horns, the ‘image of the beast’ and the 666.

Aim
In this talk OWG11 HV - The Harlot Astride The Beast Rev 17 I hope to show you the fulfilment of the ‘Harlot on the Beast’. The rise and fall of the ‘Ten Kings’, and the final demise of the Harlot!

Revelation chapter 17 covers the same period as ch.13 with the extension showing the final downfall of the Latin Empire. How do we work out the start point? In Rev 17:8 John see the beast representing the Roman or Latin Empire, and this verse sets the time in John’s vision with these words. The beast that you saw ‘was’, past tense, ‘is not’, present tense, ‘is about to’, future tense. So the period of history this prophecy is talking about must start just after 476 AD. Because at that time in history, the Western Roman Empire had been in existence; then in post 476AD it is not in existence; then later it is about to come into existence as the papal or Latin Empire. Now lets find the finish date. We have in Rev 17:16 these words, which sets the time mark, which we should understand in our time and generation. Rev 17:16 “The ten kings attack the harlot and burn her”.  Which we can see has happened in our resent history. The ‘Ten’ kingdoms of Europe turned against the Catholic Church and destroyed her, starting in the year 1789 Bastille Day, to as late as 1945, the end of World War II. So we are basically looking at the history of the Latin Empire through to the decline and final downfall of the Latin Empire. The angel said much the same thing to John in a very concise way in Rev 17:1, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot sitting on many waters,”

We’ve covered this in the Futurist view; let’s just do a quick recap. Rev 17:3 “..I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. :4 ..the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet. And she was gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup ..full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. :5 ..on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. :6 ..I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with a great marveling.” In other translations it says John’s reaction was; ‘wonder, admiration, amazement, surprise, astonished, but not horrified. It’s more like; Wow what is this? He doesn’t comprehend it! So please don’t feel like you’re the only one who can’t understand it. The angel could see John’s reaction with the vision so he explains it for him (and to us). Rev 17:7 “..Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, that has the seven heads and ten horns.” So it is a Mystery! And the angel goes through it all again and explains it to him. So in turn we can work through it step by step.

First what is the symbolism in that? Remember this comment above in the Futurist View, [Ref CN by David Guzik on Rev 17:12-15] “There is little doubt of the credentials of the EEC to claim itself a successor to the ancient Roman Empire. In the spiritual dynamic of things, it’s no accident that on the back of the Eurodollar coin is a woman riding a multi-headed beast”. Did you notice that the earlier coin I found, (with all the added notes supplied by someone else), was not a “multi-headed beast”? Now I hope the rest this section doesn’t seem like a coin catalogue. But coins are a unique way of capturing history.

Well, I searched the Internet on and off for weeks, looking for “a Euro coin” as described by Guzik, with a woman riding a “multi-headed” beast. I couldn’t find any Euro coin of that description. (If you can find such a Euro coin please email me). What you can find is the typical, ‘woman riding a bull’. And why is that logo so typical you might ask? [Ref link Europa And The Bull], also [Ref Britannica] “Where-Does-The-Name-Europe-Come-From”, “In the best-known version of the Europa myth, Europa—the daughter either of Phoenix or of Agenor, king of Phoenicia—was abducted by Zeus, who had disguised himself as a white bull. Zeus spirited her away from Phoenicia to Crete, where she bore him three sons: Minos, Rhadamanthys, and Sarpedon. No one knows for sure the origin of Europe’s name, but it certainly stuck.” Above is the: -  Greece 2 euros 2003 - Europa abducted by Zeus, Refer aboveà[Slide#11]

I also found the Italian commemorative coin the, COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA, to the right; Referà[Slide#12]. “Feature: 1st anniversary of the signing of the European Constitution. Description: The centre of the coin features Europa and the bull, with Europa holding a pen and the text of the European Constitution. To the upper left ..the mintmark ‘R’. ..initials of engraver ..‘MCC’, ..lower left edge ..The year ..top right ..the monogram of the Italian Republic, ‘RI’. The words ‘COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA’ ..twelve stars are depicted on ..the outer ring. - Issuing volume: 18 million coins -Issuing date: October 2005”. But it’s just a coin! You have to have a wild imagination to think something ominous about this design! So the image of a woman riding a bull is a well know symbol used as a mythological reference to Europe.

But what I did find was this remarkable piece of history. There is a coin depicting “a woman riding a “multi-headed” beast”, and it is recognised in the world of ‘Numismatics’, (coin collecting), as ‘The Whore of Babylon’

Referà[Slide#13] Refer ‘Ernst of Holstein-Schaumburg 1601-1622’. I wont go into to much of the description, briefly: - “The Whore of Babylon, Triton XXI, Lot: 1056. Estimate $20000. GERMANY, Schaumburg-Pinneberg (Grafschaft). Ernst. 1601-1622. ..Struck 1618-1620. ..the Whore of Babylon seated right, holding raised chalice, on seven headed beast with one head severed, standing on city gate..etc.” “The Whore Of Babylon - religious tolerance prior to the thirty years war. Image care of ‘cionsweekly.”

[Ref link Triton XXI, Lot: 1056. GERMANY, Schaumburg-Pinneberg (Grafschaft). Ernst. 1601-1622] “The Thirty Years' War” was one of the longest and most destructive of European conflicts and involved most of the states of continental Europe. A religious war, it divided the continent between Roman Catholic and Protestant, with both sides viewing the conflict in specifically religious terms. Such views were widely represented on the coinage of the time, thereby conveying the sense of apocalypse felt by the inhabitants. These images became a convenient shorthand for villifying the opposition and, in this case, the Whore of Babylon was meant to represent the Papacy. The image on this halbtaler derives from Revelation 17:3-4, “and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication” Can you imagine fighting a war for 30 years. We seem to have conveniently forgotten the history of the share hatred between Roman Catholics and Protestants!

So the ‘Whore of Babylon’ coin is telling us quite clearly that the Protestants of the 1600’s knew exactly where they were in biblical history. Remember earlier, under the heading, ‘The Red Dragon: Rev 12’. I quoted from, [Ref CN by Adam Clarke on Rev 12:3], and he talked about, that in Daniel chapter 8, “God used the he-goat, probably because it was the military standard of the Grecian monarchy”. Then he says that the Red Dragon was the principal standard of the Roman Army. So what does a woman riding a beast represent in the world of mythology? It is recognised as Europe. So isn’t God clever to use an existing symbol, of a woman riding a beast, with a few added ‘tweaks’ like seven heads and ‘Ten’ horns to represent the Latin World? With which we can clearly see, it refers to Europe.

For the apparel of the whore we go to verse 4, which clearly shows you the gaudy extravagant paraphernalia associated with this whore. The woman is decked with “purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls having a golden cup in her hand”. All of which are well know as the mark of the papacy and the upper entourage of the Catholic Church. We see the purple and scarlet robes of the clergy of Rome, the gold and precious stones used to decorate the many ornaments of the church and statues of Mary etc. But the cup is a spiritual reference. The cup was full of the abominations and filthiness of her fornication. We’ve said before that fornication is associated with idolatry. The name on her forehead is a great study but you can look into that yourself, (NB: see the note below from AJFerris). But again the name on her forehead, typifies the Church of Rome. And in reference to her atrocities committed on the true Christian reformers; “..I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” But the total number of Christians martyred under catholic persecution would be nothing short of a “wild guess”.

[Ref CN by AJFerris on The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris, page 36] “It is also interesting to note that the Council of Trent (1545) required all Catholic priests to acknowledge as a profession of faith that “The Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church is the MOTHER and mistress of all churches” also on the same page; “What other organization does history record EXCEPT the Church of Rome that has to its shame been the direct cause of the martyrdom of 50,000,000 Christians saints because they would not conform to her idolatry and unscriptural doctrines?” NB: This number is only speaking of martyrs under the Catholic Church. I have heard figures like 50 to 150 million. And that doesn’t include the millions slaughtered under communist USSR and Chine. And the number is just going upward. If we jump to the bottom of the chapter we see more features about the woman; Rev 17:15 “ ..The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues, …:18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.” Another indication she is the Church of Rome, Rome was “the great city that ruled over the kings of the earth”, the “TEN Kings”, and every nation and tongue.

Back to the angels description, this time he is talking about “the Beast”. Rev 17:8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the abyss and go into perdition.” We covered this at the start; the beast of Rev. 17 is the Latin Roman Empire. In the various prophecies, “the Beast or Dragon” has always appeared in a similar arrangement with seven heads and ten horns. As in Dan 7:5-23, Rev 11:7, Rev 12:3-17, Rev 13:1-18 and here in Rev 17. Also seen in Rev 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20. It always represents the Roman Empire either pagan or Latin. Now John is observing this vision in about 90AD. But it seems as though the angel is speaking from the perspective of around 476AD onward? Because he says that the ‘beast’ was a powerful empire. But from the angel’s time frame, as of 476AD Rome is not a major city or power any more after the barbarian incursions, which decimated Rome and expelled the Emperor. But he is telling John, that the beast, Rome, is about to ascend and rise to power again. Then it will ultimately go into perdition G684, meaning in Strong’s, “ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal):” And in the later chapters, Rome seems to be totally and physically obliterated. The rest of the verse shows the whole world will marvel at the rise of Rome to its former glory. Rev 17:8 “And those dwelling on the earth will marvel, those whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” 

Now in these verses the angel gives us a mind-teasing riddle, but he is always talking about “the Heads”. Rev 17:9 “And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. :10 And there are seven kings; five have fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. :11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.”  The seven heads are symbolised in the following way. As we have said before the seven heads represent seven forms of the Roman government, and they were always based in Rome. Rome was know in ancient poetry etc. as “the city on seven hills” or mountains. And the seven mountains is where “the woman sits”, meaning she is seated in Rome. Five have fallen? If we go to history and the commentaries we can try to make sense of this. Some use the analogy that the five fallen refers to “Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon, Persia, and Greece”. This makes little sense because their own unique beasts, lion, bear, leopard etc. represented each of these empires. And the “Beast or Dragon” is Rome, so how can the heads represent those previous empires? Others try to find seven individual kings? That again makes little sense because the Roman Beast in all the visions, is depicted, as having seven heads over it’s whole history not seven individual kings.
 
There are other ideas but I think the closest analogy is from John Gill and Joseph Benson. [Ref CN by Joseph Benson on Revelation 17:8-14] “Five of these forms of government are already past; and one is — The sixth is now subsisting. The five fallen are kings, and consuls, and dictators, and decemvirs, and military tribunes with consular authority; as they are enumerated and distinguished by the two greatest Roman historians, Livy and Tacitus. The sixth is the power of the Cesars or emperors, which was subsisting at the time of the vision.” But they go off track and miss the seventh form of government. I believe A. J. Ferris has the best analogy. [Ref CN by AJFerris on The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris, page 40] “It is easy to locate the seventh “head” in Roman history since in 284 A.D., DIOCLETIAN as a DESPOTIC emperor introduced an entirely new form of government in which the Senate, etc., were ignored. Also Diocletian created three other rulers who along with himself ruled over the Empire in four divisions, a unique government. Another point which proves conclusively that Diocletian and his associates from 284 to 313, constituted the seventh and last “head” of Pagan Rome, is that Diocletian was the last emperor to be deified, …We note that this seventh head thus ruled only 29 years, a “short space,” at the end of which it received a deadly wound as we saw foretold in Rev. 13-3,” This unique form of government was called a Tetrarchy or a Triumvirate, and not mentioned by Gill or Benson.
 
The rest of the riddle; [Ref CN by AJFerris on The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris, page 40] “Thus in the fourth and fifth centuries A.D., the Roman earth became “the beast that is not.” However, the deadly wound was to be healed and the seventh head grow again to rule the ten kingdoms of the “beast” of Rev. 13. thus we read in Rev 17:11 “the beast that was, and is not, is become the EIGHTH (head), and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.” In other words the restored head of the ten-horned beast of Rev. 13 would be the eighth succeeding government over the Roman earth, or from another point of view the seventh head grown again.” Another key issue to take note is that the idolatrous Roman Empire was represented as the beast with the heads. When Constantine came to power in 313AD the empire ceased to be idolatrous, it became truly Christian for a short time. So during the time of the Christian Emperors the beast could be described as, “is not in existence” The eighth head, the eighth form of government, that rose up was the papacy, which dragged the Latin Empire back into idolatry.
 
The ‘Ten Horns’
Now let’s look at the ‘Ten’ European Kings. Rev 17:12 “And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom yet, but will receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.” Remember the time frame from which the angel is speaking! Which I believe is around 476AD, the ‘Ten’ kings have received no kingdom yet, because in 476AD they have not appeared in history as yet. And we have talked about; they receive authority for “one hour” meaning one and the same time or during the same time with the beast. Historically we know the power the pope had over the kings of Europe. He reserved the right to depose or raise kings at his whim! Rev 17:13 “These have one mind ..they will give their power and authority to the beast. :14 These will make war with the Lamb ..Lamb will overcome them. For He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those with Him are the called and elect and faithful ones.” History will show us that at the popes biding wars were waged for any number of reasons. The Thirty Year War mentioned above is just one example. “War with the Lamb”; the papal armies did overcome the reformers, (the Lamb), on the continent and effectively wiped out all resistance to papal authority by the year 1514. But I have cover this in another talk entitled, CHURCH HISTORY Part 3 -:- [Who Were The Reformers], under the heading, “1517 THE TWO WITNESSES”, you will find it an interesting read. In short during the Fifth Lateran Council in 1514, Rome concluded she had stoped all heresy! Only to find 3½ “days” (i.e. years), later in 1517 Martin Luther came on the seen and the Reformation fired up in earnest again, and it was the turning point in history when the “lambs forces” began to overcome the papal kingdoms.
 
The Lamb will overcome them! This sounds great but where does it fit into history? Remember I said that Britain was the ‘safe house’ for the reformers? Britain broke away from the Church of Rome at the time of King Henry VIII, and in 1534 he was excommunicated from the Church of Rome. After his death, Queen “Bloody Mary” came to power and she ruthlessly tried to drag England back to the “bosom of the Pope”. This only served to alienate the people of England from the Church of Rome. After a short reign Mary died and Elizabeth came to power. Then some political ‘checks and balances’ were slowly imbedded into the English constitution to lock in a guaranteed Protestant monarchy. This became a thorn in the side for the papacy. So throughout history the pope tried to topple the English thrown several times. We have the Spanish Armada, (1588), in which the Lord blew with His wind and dashed the armada against the coasts of Britain and pushed the fleet anticlockwise all the way around Britain and back to Spain. Then the English civil war lead by Oliver Cromwell, (1642),  against Charles I, who being married to a catholic, which raised possible suspicion in relation to the pope. We also have the Anglo-Span Wars and Anglo-French Wars. Then you could say finally we have the British and French battles ending in 1815 with the Battle of Waterloo. But by 1789 France was no longer listening to the pope by that time.
 
It is better to describe it this way; just try this idea please. Look at Daniel chapter 2 and try to think of the Stone is Anglo-Saxon-Israel, lets call them [Israel]. She went into her captivity in three waves. They came out of their 7 times punishment in waves. With Manasseh first in 1776 (America), followed by Ephraim (Britain) in 1800 when she expanded her Empire. The Stone [Israel] hit the statue on the feet first, hitting the ‘Ten Toes’, (the TEN kingdoms of Europe), starting roughly in 1534 when Henry VIII broke away from idolatrous catholic rule. Ever since [Israel] has been fighting the ‘Ten Toes’ and the rest of the statue! She has over the last few centuries fort the Spanish and the French. Then in WWI Germany; and Italy the (legs of Iron) in WWII. She has expanded across to the east, fighting in the Sudan, (the Arms of Silver), in the late 1800’s. Until she has in the past few decades been fighting in the area of Bagdad (The Head of Gold). It fits to my way of thinking! And as I said God calls [Israel] His ‘Battle-Axe’ in Jer 51:19, and it is an unconditional promise, whether [Israel] is righteous or not. And what is God employing [Israel] to achieve? He is trying to bring in righteous governments around the world. First getting rid of dictators and terrorists, and trying to set up democratic elections in which the people of liberated countries can hopefully have a better life. And we [Israel] sometimes get it wrong. But ultimately ‘the Lamb has or is overcoming them’.
 
The Rise And Fall Of Gentile Kingdoms
The following chart entitled, ‘The Rise And Fall Of Gentile Kingdoms’, Refer [Slide#14], should shed some light on my theory for you. A. J. Ferris produced numerous versions of this type of chart. He often tried to extrapolate into the future, and over the years some of his work has proven to be quite fruitless. I am not trying to predict the future as he did. But when you look at Israel and Judah, it is uncanny how the past 2520 years has paned out in history for them. Here is a spine chilling correlation for you. Dan 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and the fiery furnace story. In my old KJV it has a centre reference collum with the date at the top of the collum. The start of chapter 3 has the centre date of 580BC! What happens if we add 2520 years to 580BC? An easy way to workout these dates is like this. Remember there is ‘no year zero’! So when working forward, BC to AD (increasing), you add one year. Working backwards AD to BC (decreasing), you subtract one year. So BC to AD, you can add 1 to 2520 for a start. Then do the maths like so, 2521-580=1941. What happened in 1941?

This really is a strange coincident of numbers. [Ref wiki Final Solution - cite], “In 1941, wrote Raul Hilberg, in the first phase of the mass murder of Jews, the mobile killing units began to pursue their victims across occupied eastern territories". Then under the heading, ‘Historiographic debate’ you will find, “..Hilberg gives an estimate of 5.1 million as the total number of Jews killed. He breaks this figure down into three categories: Ghettoization and general privation: over 800,000; open-air shootings: over 1,300,000; extermination camps: up to 3,000,000.[26]”. [Extermination Camps, where the Jews were INCINERATED!]. Now compare that with the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego story, “3” lads went into the ‘fiery furnace’, then add the Seven Times, that is 2520 years later we have 3,000.000. Jews incinerated! WOW!
 
To help you make sense of this, I have given you the chart below, also with a list of references to verify the dates.
 
975BC [Ref JUssher] Jeroboam took Israel into idolatry 1Ki 12:28. “In 1547 the 9 year old King Edward VI of England broke from catholic idolatry. ‘The Book of Common Prayer’, made English the language of the English Church” [HYY page 188]

740-722BC[Ref JUssher] & [Ref wiki Assyrian Captivity] The House of Israel, (Nth Kingdom); The captivities began in approximately 740 BCE, (1 Ch 5:26), (2 Ki 15:29). In 722 BCE, Samaria, was finally taken by Sargon II after a 3-year siege

1781 [Ref wiki American Revolution] “was between 1765 and 1783. The Americans defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), gaining independence from the British Crown establishing the United States of America. -740+2521=1781 [Ref HYY page 270] “General Lord Cornwallis surrenders to Gorge Washington” (Manasseh) Freed

1800 [Ref Acts of Union 1800] ‘The Acts of Union 1800 create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

-722+2521=1799 [Ref HYY page 284] in 1800 the bill “The Act of Union” start of British Commonwealth (Ephraim) Freed

605-571BC [Ref Babylonian Captivity] “After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, King Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem, which led to another siege with exile to Babylon, of King Jeconiah, and many others; a later deportation .. dated to 597 BCE for the first, others at 587/586 BCE, and 582/581 BCE”. Also 571BC [Ref JUssher].

-605+2521=1916. 1917 was the Balfour Declaration. [Ref History of Israel], then search for the word ‘return’, to see the huge immigration numbers between 1917 and 1950.

-571+2521=1950. Then Israel passed the Law of Return in 1950 so any Jew can return to Israel.

533 & 606AD. We have already discussed the power given to the pope on those dates. And his reign of 1260 years.

533+1260=1798 [Ref Napoleon and the Catholic Church] “General Berthier marched to Rome, entered it unopposed on 10 February 1798 and, proclaiming a Roman Republic, demanded of the Pope the renunciation of his temporal power.

606+1260=1866 and we have seen the news article about the popes loss of Temporal Power!

1917 Was also a major turning point for Islam. The Turks lost Jerusalem and continued down hill for the next 20 years. Refer above under the heading, ‘Chart Showing The 1260, 1290 and 1335 Days: Dan 12’. Refer above to [Slide#9]

[Slide#14]


Rev 17:16 “and the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked. And they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. :17 For God gave into their hearts to do His mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the Words of God will be fulfilled.” We now come to the point in history where the Catholic kingdoms suddenly do a back flip and turn against the church. As I said at the start of this chapter, that started to happen in 1789 on Bastille Day. And it has been ongoing for over 150 years, beyond 1939. The catholic monarchies of Europe have been crumbling dew to bankruptcy, corruption or wars. And the Church of Rome has received a bloody nose throughout the whole affair. Have you ever heard the phrase, “A disgruntled catholic make the best communist”. For a brief coverage of the latter day destruction of the Catholic Church, [Ref CN by AJFerris on The Book of Revelation Pt 2 Ferris, pages 80-85]. And we know what Nazi Germany did to the Churches throughout Europe during WWII, with particular note of what happened in Poland and the Netherlands etc. And that brings you to the end of Revelation chapter 17. It wasn’t that hard to follow after all was it now?
 
In the next talk entitled, OWG12 HV - The Fall of Babylon Rev 18, we go into more detail about the final fulfilment of the destruction of ‘The ‘Beast’. We very, very quickly skip through chapters 19 and 20 to see how those chapter put the finishing touch on the story that was give to John. Then a somewhat lengthy conclusion; basically because we have looked at the possibility of a “One World Government” from two completely different interpretation.

Hope you found that interesting and that I have explained everything well enough. If you have any comments by all means let me know your thoughts in the comments!
