Woman's influence

I've found that discussing the Antichrist religion has become commonplace enough these days that it can be considered "boring" material. The crazy part, though, is so much of the world is oblivious to what the Bible says about it even as we're seeing it take off in ever more astonishing ways.

Here's an outtake from a sermon by Richard Jordan that I found on YouTube just this evening:

Can I tell you that your ancestors knew the issues of Baal worship? They knew why it permeates our world.

In Revelation 17, this great whore that sits upon many waters is the beast that is riding the Antichrist. This is the religious system of the Antichrist; the Antichrist church.

Verse 2: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

In other words, the wine of her fornication is the intoxicating spiritual deception. When you’re drunk, you’re in a stupor. They’ve been deceived; there in this stupor being desensitized to the things of God by the overwhelming influence of this woman.

Verse 18: [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

It is a system that runs the governmental systems of the world; of the nations. Why does it run them? Because they choose it. When they choose not to run on God’s Word, this is the lie program they follow.

Verse 3: [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

You go back in Jeremiah, for example, and God talks about Israel committing spiritual fornication by worshipping other gods. Here’s the source of all that other godlessness.

She’s not just the harlot; she’s the MOTHER of harlots. She’s a mother church that has all kind of other churches springing out of her. This is a whole religious system with all kind of different groups and denominational heads in it—different ways of denoting it but all the same source.

Her colors are purple and scarlet. Her symbol is a golden cup and that golden cup is filled with the wine of her fornication, with some doctrine that produces people going after other gods.

Behind all that is that corrupt system of Verse 18 that rules over what goes on in the earth.

Paul says in I Corinthians 10: [16] The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

You and I share a communion in the blood of Christ and the body of Christ. Verse 20: [20] But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

That cup filled with the wine of her fornication is designed so that you can’t drink of the cup filled with the communion of the body of Christ. Did that go over your head?

What Paul’s talking about in Ephesians, he’s talking to a bunch of people who are used to drinking the wine in the cup of paganism and he’s saying, “Don’t be drunk with that pagan false doctrine. You want to be filled and controlled by what God’s given.”

Deuteronomy 32: [15] But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
[16] They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
[17] They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
[18] Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

They leave their Rock (Christ) and go after another rock. [31] For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
[32] For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
[33] Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

Hello, we don’t all worship the same God. Even our enemies themselves being judged—a blind man walking backward in a dark cave could figure it out, he says.

Their rock is the false god. [37] And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
[38] Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

You see, there’s some gods who are drinking the wine, eating their sacrifices. That’s a religious system that’s governing.

Psalm 16:4: [4] Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

So the drink offerings offered to these other gods are blood.

There’s a false religious system that was developed in Genesis 11 and goes all the way through the Bible. It contaminated the nation Israel—took Israel captive, and when it did here’s how they worshipped:

Jeremiah 44: [15] Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
[16] As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
[17] But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
[18] But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
[19] And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

“We’re going to go by the tradition of what we’ve always done. We don’t care what God’s Word says.”

“The left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven.”  Where did that come from? Well, you go back to Judges 2:13, Judges 10:6 and you’ll see that involved in Baal worship is also a female deity called Ashtaroth, Astarte, all kind of names. The Romans called her Venus. The Greeks called her Minerva, Diana. The Egyptians called her Eostre. The Roman Catholics call her Mary, but she’s been there a long time before Mary came along.
