One of the seven angels, (John’s fellow-servant and one of his brethren), that had the seven vials, carried away John into the wilderness. He took him there to show him the judgement of the great whore USA. This country sits on many waters – a conglomeration of people belonging to multiple ethnicities. They are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues, explained the angel. He also said the whore that John saw is that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth.

The countries of the world have committed fornication with the USA. Leaving behind God to pursue worldly wealth is covetousness. Covetousness is idolatry. Idolatry is spiritual fornication. The people of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of USA’s fornication. The whole populace is in an intoxicated condition, being led by a false sense of economic development promised by the ‘largest economic bubble’ in the world. The USA keeps promising ‘peace’ to its allies and negatively ‘inebriates’ its enemies that compete with its military and technology.

The USA is riding on the Devil, a bloodsucking beast. He is full of names of blasphemy. He keeps blaspheming God and His people. He has seven heads and ten horns. Seven is perfect. Satan was perfect in wisdom and beauty when he was created. He also possesses limited power today – (Nowhere comparable to the Almighty God). Ten is complete. As the prince of this present evil world, he has total power over the allies and subjects of his dark kingdom. (God has full control of everything. He rules in the kingdoms of men. He has allowed Satan to function for a definite period as He has purposed).

The USA is arrayed in luxury and royalty – purple and scarlet. It is decked with gold, precious stones and pearls. It is the richest economy in the world and home to many billionaires. The USA holds a ‘golden cup full of abominations and filthiness’ of a money-based world economy.

It is a mystery how a country that started allegedly with an immigrant population of just three hundred and fifty in the first decade of the 17th century, (it was inhabited by nearly fifteen million (red?) Indian aboriginals before their arrival), has now grown to the third most populated country in the world. It is a greater mystery that it has become a ‘Big boss’ and a ‘Big brother’ for the world. It is also a ‘Babylon’ – a centre of confusion for almost all problems of the world. It can be rightly called “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH”.

The real power behind the USA is its Jewish population which is obsessed with money. Recollect Shakespeare’s Shylock, the mean Jew. Jeff Bezos, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bettencourt Meyers, and many more at the top of the latest Forbes 100 are Jews with American citizenship. Even in the year 2010, 51 of the top 100 most powerful people in the world were Jews. It has surged steeply in the last decade. Apart from the Business world, the Jews occupy strategic positions in the US – Administration, Military, Judiciary, Federal Reserve, the Congress and the Senate. India, soon-to-be the most populous country in the world, is in the iron grip of the Jewish Aryans.

Jews have been the mastermind behind the murder of the saints of God. They put Jesus on the cross. Many of Jesus’s disciples and followers were put to death by the unbelieving Jews. We find they were behind many conspiracies to kill the Apostles and believers even in the early Church-times including Indian Christians (Siththars?) of the first few centuries. (330 million were killed?).

The very people behind the conspiracy theories of today are Jews. The Illuminati, the Freemasons and the Bilderbergers are a few worth mentioning here. The Rothschild and the Rockefeller families that own the Federal Reserves are Jews. They lend to countries through IMF, World Bank and other funding agencies. Some of these are in the shroud of a social cause to fool people. They make these countries bend their backs to bow to them.

Many believers who began spiritually have ended their lives in the flesh, deceived by money in their latter days. The country continues to ‘drink the blood’ of saints and martyrs of Jesus in its spiritual sense and its literal sense as well. Genuine believers who try to hold on to their faith amidst the tribulation around them have lost their lives defending their faith. Not only was it amazing to John then, but it is also astonishing to us as well as his vision unfolds in history right before our eyes.

John did not have to wonder for long. The angel said he would unravel the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her. The beast that John saw ‘was, is not, shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition’ – history of the beast in a nutshell!

‘Was’ is John’s past and ours too. Satan has been deceiving people even from the Eden Garden days. In fact, he has been deceiving one large chunk (one third) of angels with hopes of occupying God’s throne even before time began.

‘Is not’ is John’s present and our past. As per the twentieth chapter, an angel laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, bound him a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him. This happened when, according to chapter twelve, the dragon was enraged with the believing generation and went to make war with the remnant of the Jewish believers that kept the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

After a long period – a thousand years – this Devil has ascended out of the bottomless pit when he was loosed a little season. This happened by the end of the Philadelphia church period. It was also the beginning of the Laodicean church period – the hour of temptation. It coincided with the rebirth of Israel as a country in May 1948 and the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967. The ‘forever cursed’ fig tree attempted to blossom and put forth leaves. However, as per the curse of our Lord, none would eat its fruits. It is a vain attempt by the kingdom of darkness to defy the curse that Jesus cast upon the nation! And, note that He has not revoked the curse. He will not. (God has revealed His purpose in His word. The Bible does not mention anything like this. Shockingly, there are ‘Bible Scholars’ who ignorantly mention that the Lord has much to reveal in His salvation plan later in this age (and during their ‘millennium’!) which He still retains as ‘mystery’. If the revealed word is already complete, why would He add more later? 67th book? 68th ?

The destiny of Satan is sealed. It is revealed in this book Revelation. He will go into perdition. He will be destroyed. He will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone in the end.

Satan is let loose for a short time, (a little season – sixty to eighty years? Because a full season is nearly ninety days or a quarter of a year). He has gone to the four corners of the world to deceive the people of the earth. Even the ‘Chosen ones’ are his target. He is performing miracles and showing great signs and wonders. The unbelieving population ‘whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world’ are awe-struck at the evil exploits that Satan is doing with the (limited) powers he has.

Satan has seven faculties (economy, military, science and technology, religion, education, entertainment, media?) in his possession that seem like mountains – unshakable. Seven is ‘complete’ indicating that all available worldly powers are at his disposal. The USA is resting and trusting on these faculties to keep dominating the world and its affairs.

The seven heads are also seven kings. That might be the reason why the angel said that it requires a wise mind to understand this. Five of the kings were fallen by the time of John. There was one existing at the time of this revelation. The seventh was to come in John’s future. However, he would continue only for a short time. Satan, who is destined to go into perdition, would be the eighth and would be of the seven.

The ten horns that John saw are ten kings without a kingdom (Presidents?). Ten stands for completeness, not necessarily its face value. Now, at the return of Satan in the thick of events, they would receive power to rule with him for a short while. Sixty / eighty years? Satan and the ten kings would have one mind. The kings would offer their power and strength unto Satan.

The ten kings might be the rogue powers that have aligned with Satan to hate the USA. These might be from the following list: North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Burma, Syria, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, Lesotho Cambodia, Eritrea, Comoros, Papua New Guinea, Sudan and South Sudan (as of Jan 2021). China and Russia are two others that are in a ‘cold war’ with the USA. They are already with the Devil and have turned against the USA. Soon, they would make the Superpower of the world desolate and naked. They will strip her of her luxurious attire of purple and scarlet. She would lose her riches of gold, precious stones and pearls and even her royalty. These powers will expose her shame to the world. These kings will eat her flesh. They will burn her with fire.

All this while, God is fulfilling His will. It was God who had put in the hearts of the ten kings to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast. This will continue until God fulfils His words. “Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away”, said Jesus. A Tamil poet said, “Not an atom would move without Him”. God will accomplish His purpose. He will execute His plan until then. His counsels will stand.

Satan and these evil powers will also make war with Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. They will continue to attack the followers of the Lamb. They will put many believers to death physically. However, as Jesus is the Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb shall overcome them. The Church would overcome the evil powers everyday through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. These overcomers that are with Lamb are the ‘called, chosen and faithful’.
