The Whore of Babylon & Her Cup of Evils: Decoding the Mystery

The Whore of Babylon is mentioned in the Bible’s Book of Revelation. Like most everything in this book, who or what she represents is encoded. (What you’ll read below is a work in progress, as I discover new things each day).

She is referred to as “Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.” This latter description is supposedly written on her forehead.

Riding on the beast, who will later overthrow her, we can assume the Whore of Babylon is more like a mirage or illusion- something false, not holding truth nor weight once the beast turns on her. Many have speculated that she symbolizes a specific city or the institution of the city itself. I don’t think this is far off, as the colors she wears (scarlet/purple) are often associated with riches in the marketplace, and thus, equates to our modern-day commerce and business. Many also believe she is associated with wisdom/mystery, similar to the idea of ‘the woman in the ephah’ or barrel/bushel. Perhaps this is similar to bobbing for apples; we immerse ourselves in discovering secrets that don’t exist, meanwhile our head is drowning underwater.

Because she’s seated ‘on many waters’ we know she is worldly and has been around for ages. This conjures images of corrupt politicians and government leaders, seduced by money and riches; it also conjures rumors regarding reptilian races from other dimensions interbreeding with humans. Perhaps it’s simpler: The Whore is religion itself. We’ve begun to see more in recent years how corrupt world religions are, how much destruction they cause, and what ties they often have to organizations and people with sinister agendas. Essentially, if The Whore is religion, she is false religion- posing as a force of good.

Still, I can’t help but imagine other interpretations to the biblical text. If the Harlot is a place, surely it would be America- ‘sitting on waters’ conjures images of the Statue of Liberty, beckoning people to travel to the US, only for them to spend their life money and work-obsessed (Of course, many believe the Statue of Liberty represents Lucifer or the planet Venus). Perhaps the Harlot is then travel itself- the appeal of a new land. The line about the Harlot’s name being written on her forehead springs forth images of barcodes- cosmetic beauty, with everything on earth having a price tag. Which brings me to my next thought…

One day I was daydreaming, laying in my backyard looking at the sky. Out of nowhere I started to see several distinct images form- one of which was the image of a woman (hourglass figure) with some sort of hat that had a bird-shape on top of it. Her arms were outstretched, as if she was holding something in each palm. In one of her hands was a shape resembling a chalice- as soon as I made the connection of shape-to-object, it turned into a robot (two squares on top of each other with discernable features of eyes and arms- not unlike the robots of 80s movies). I didn’t know what to make of what I saw, but the image was so distinct I decided to research it. I think I googled ‘ladies with birds in hats/’woman holding chalice’, stuff like that, until I stumbled upon an image that almost exactly matched what I saw in the sky: the Whore of Babylon. Previous to discovering this image online, I had not heard of the Whore of Babylon nor knew what she represented. And despite having made what I’m sure is an accurate connection, I’m still not sure exactly what this image means, and why I saw it. Maybe I was hallucinating and seeing sunspots- but sunspots make you see flowing geometric-like patterns and this was clearly something more distinct. Seeing a robot replace the cup of evils could only equate to one thing: technology.

Going back to the line about the Harlot’s name being written on her forehead, I couldn’t help but wonder that maybe the Harlot is technology itself- not just computers and television but DNA, blood tests, cloning, chip implantation…all of it. I believe we are entering a spiritual era, but at the same time, never before have we been able to use people’s ‘insides’ to effect the world outside so much as today. Humans are essentially walking test tubes, leaving DNA wherever they go. While criminal/law shows will have you believing that this is positive, as DNA is fool-proof evidence against a criminal, what if all this blood-taking and fingerprinting was implemented as the starting measures of mass control? We are already statistics in the minds of those in power, but imagine if they could classify us to a whole other degree- we’d be controlled by things we literally could not control (our genes). I believe this is already happening.

And still, the Harlot could be many things: The rise of New Age beliefs regarding yoga/kundalini; brainwashing techniques/psychological warfare/telepathy; the addition or disappearance of a zodiac sign and/or planet.

Going back to the vision I had, who knows how trustworthy clouds are. Perhaps whatever vision I had was trying to deceive me. I discovered since then several connections between the foundation of America and the planet Venus/Lucifer, aka “the fallen one.” I randomly was in the mood for Edgar Allan Poe one day, and noticed in The Raven, Poe mentions the bird sitting on top of a pallas (perhaps pallas Athena). This also matches what I saw regarding a bird-shape on top of a woman’s head. Furthermore, Poe frequently mentions a woman named Lenore in his work, whose name translates to “pity” or “shining light.” If you consider the latter translation, “shining light” is also associated with the Morning Star aka Lucifer aka the planet Venus. Interestingly, there’re many mysteries associated with the planet Venus, despite her being ‘inferior’ to the Earth (going along with what I mentioned before about the Whore and her ties to mystery).

Perhaps then, the Whore of Babylon represents a planet or celestial body, bringing to light the many possibilities of connections between biblical “entities” and our solar system. I also have personal reasons to believe that often times these universal bodies are tied strongly to ancient myth- and sometimes these myths are brought to fruition in reality through specific individuals, perhaps accounting for the various “end-time” dates appearing in prophecies (meaning- a myth occurring or recurring through an individual is a rare event).

So, the Whore of Babylon is considered a negative entity/person in the bible because she brings about “end times.” But first one has to examine what their definition of “end times” is. Many minds immediately go to images of nuclear bombs or another World War. But what if “end times” means entering a new age, whether this age is brought on by negative or positive change? Personally, I don’t believe “end times” signifies the end of life on Earth, but a celestial change in our solar system which will lead us to change certain ingrained/ancient beliefs regarding our planet.

As I mentioned before, Venus is considered ‘inferior’ to Earth. Many people in scientific circles believe that in the near future, a manned mission to Mars would be possible. Thus, Mars, an every planet that comes after Earth, are future targets because they represent “moving forward” or away from the sun. Hence, Venus, by some unknown default, is considered a “step backwards” from life on earth. So if the Whore of Babylon and the planet Venus do have ties, then it seems that the bible is referring to Venus/Lucifer worship as evil, and/or a step backwards from scientific progress. This is interesting, as many believe Christianity stemmed from paganism, and God/Jesus are entities representing the sun. Thus, scientific progress is moving away from God/Jesus. And yet, most of this is based on faith and myth vs. knowledge and fact. (Also note that Lucifer often has male connotations, while the planet Venus has female connotations).

The Whore of Babylon could also be a star. It could be you or me. Who knows.

I urge you to share your thoughts.
