Revelation : Language (12)

  1. False Jews are members of "the synagogue of Satan." 2:9
  2. Jezebel (whom God had thrown off a wall, trampled by horses, and eaten by dogs (2 Kg 9:33-37) is further reviled by John, saying "that woman Jezebel" taught and seduced God's "servants to commit fornication." 2:20
  3. Jesus will "cast her [Jezebel] into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her." 2:22
  4. God will make "the synagogue of Satan" [the Jews] "come and worship before thy feet." (Whose feet? Well, the feet of Christians, of course!) 3:9
  5. Drinking the wine of fornication. 14:8
  6. The great whore has "committed fornication" with all the kings on earth. Everyone else is "drunk with the wine of her fornication." She sits on a scarlet colored beast with the usual 7 heads and 10 horns. She carries a cup full of the "filthiness of her abominations" and has a big sign on her forehead saying: "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth." You'll know her when you see her. 17:1-5
  7. "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs." 17:6

  10. The "great whore" corrupted the earth with her fornication. 19:2
  11. "Come ... unto the supper of the great God." An angel calls all the fowls to feast upon the flesh of dead horses and human bodies, "both free and bond, both small and great." 19:17-18
  12. I'm not sure who the "dogs" are in this verse. (Some say they are homosexuals.) But whoever they are, John condemns them all to hell. 22:15
