Scriptures from the New Jerusalem Bible

"Babylon the Great" is the source of teachings that dishonor God

  1

Revelation 17:4
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and glittered with gold and jewels and pearls,
and she was holding a gold winecup filled with the disgusting filth of her prostitution;

  2

Revelation 17:5
on her forehead was written a name, a cryptic name: 'Babylon the Great,
the mother of all the prostitutes and all the filthy practices on the earth.'

  3

Revelation 17:15
The angel continued, 'The waters you saw, beside which the prostitute was sitting,
are all the peoples, the populations, the nations and the languages.

False Religion is Identified by:

Its showy display of wealth, its "purple and gold".
Its teachings and actions that dishonor God.
The billions of members of false religion are the
"Peoples and crowds and nations and tongues"
who continue to support "Babylon the Great".
