At midnight, Boaz stirs, (“at midnight a call was made – behold the bridegroom cometh”), and he awakens, and passes a complimentary judgment upon her, his bride to be (the judgment seat of Christ).

Ruth returns to Naomi with the news of the threshing-floor encounter, early in the morning, bearing a gift of barley.

Now, Naomi says, that Boaz will “not REST (bring in the millennial rest) until this thing be taken care of…”, that is the securing of the right to be a kinsman redeemer and acquire Ruth as bride in the process.

(the millennial rest or jubilee cannot occur until the redemption process is approved by the city’s elders).

Boaz the next morning goes to the elders of the city and makes it all right, and REDEEMS Naomi’s property ( Israel ’s land and promises), and takes Ruth as his bride in the process.

Now to Revelation:

…and witnesses the Lamb being found WORTHY to open the seals of the book (the book of REDEMPTION), for in all cases of kinsman redeemers, the kinsman had to be found worthy by the city’s elders to open the scroll of the property rights of the purchased possession

They see themselves as rich, increased in goods, and HAVING NEED OF NOTHING.

To this church He says “behold I AM AT THE DOOR”. And “be zealous therefore, and REPENT”. If any man opens the door (of repentance), He states He will come in a sup with him (the marriage supper).

And to one of these churches He says, “(Rev 3:8) Behold I HAVE SET BEFORE THEE AN OPEN DOOR, AND NO MAN CAN SHUT IT”. This open door is none other than the open door that constitutes the gates of heaven being open during the time period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur!

Best Answer:

The Queen Of Heavens that apostate Jews were worshiping during the time of the prophet Jeremiah was likely Astarte. The women back there were baking sacrifical cakes to this goddess. (jeremiah 44:15-19)

Her counterparts are known as Innana, Ishtar, Isis, Osiris,Isi and Iswara and Cybele

She was said to be the wife of Tammuz a pagan god. Tammuz, also called Damuzi was originally a man, a King of Erech, possibly one and the same as Nimrod, (Check Genesis 10:10)

So the Queen of The Heavens was Nimrods wife, ****but Semiramis was his mother

.
Nimrod’s mother, being the wife of Cush, was a granddaughter of Noah’s wife, who survived the great flood, the same as the fishes. Note how the Babylonish pagan religion made use of this fact in deifying Semiramis, making her a goddess, the daughter of the fish-goddess Atargatis.

In his book “The Two Babylons”, Alexander Hislop wrote ”

• “Easter is nothing else than Ashtate the Queen of the Heavens, whose name is Ishtar”.

“Heresy of the week for 7/15/07. This video shows that the catholic church CANNOT be the whore of babylon in Revelation 17.”

• Jerusalem is also built on 7 hills…
• trampling and blood of saints…
• harlot is called a great city…potential connection to rev 11:8…where the Lord was crucified…
• vatican isn’t on the 7 hills of rome…its actually separated and isn’t in that part of Rome
• scarlet and purple…priests where all colors (blue, black, etc)…sounds like its talking about royalty…the reason they wear it is different then this passage
• even if rome…its pagan rome…something that existed in John’s day…and the Vatican wasn’t built until a long time later…

The REAL Whore of Babylon Revealed! (1 of 2)

the whore of Babylon and who the beast is…

• beast? Antichrist? Rome?
• harlot? Catholic Church? Jerusalem?? Vatican City?

Nothing says, city within a city…no such thing as Vatican city in the book of Revelation…it did not have authority over the kings of the earth…

It never had dominion…over all the kings of the earth or even the majority…now it doesnt have dominion over any kings of the earth…

the harlot is a city…not a church…

The REAL Whore of Babylon Revealed! (2 of 2)

• Jerusalem was sacked in 70AD…burned up with fire…
• Whore (Jerusalem) and beast (Pagan Rome, Emperor Nero, his empire) team up in persecuting early Christians but were enemies…when temple was destroyed, the beast, Nero left it desolate.
• Jerusalem (Matthew 23…) saints are going to be killed in Jerusalem…parallels what John says
• Romans and inhabitants of Jerusalem…woman on back of scarlet beast…
• the beast will invade the harlot and leave her desolate

cited: John Martignoni’s Article:

the roman catholic church???  remember…arthur pink’s article: “The Papacy Not the Antichrist”… are they the whore/mystery babylon???

• 20. That the Antichrist and the Papacy are totally distinct is unequivocally established by the teaching of Revelation 17. Here we learn that there shall be ten kings who will reign “with the Beast” (v. 12), and act in concert with him (vv. 13,16). Then we are told “these shall hate the Whore (the papacy), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (v. 16). Instead of the Antichrist and the Papacy being identical, the former shall destroy the latter; whereas, the Antichrist shall be destroyed by Christ Himself, see 2 Thessalonians 2:8.

• John is shocked…but he knew Rome was a Pagan Rome system…here he beholds a woman…made drunk with the blood of God’s people
• 7 hills
• 476 Roman politically lost its power…in 800ad the Roman Catholic church back
• 10 horns will hate the whore…

1. Dipose Czar in Russia, so they could create an experiment and to control the population
2. allow this nation to take control of Europe (only got 1/2 of europe)
3. Jews vs Muslims (would finally make mankind so sick of warfare that they’d give up nationalism and accept New World Order
