Edward Hendrie - Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great

Solving the Mystery of

BABYLON THE GREAT

Tracking the Beast from the Synagogue to the Vatican

Edward Hendrie

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:3-6.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Foreword by Texe Marrs

There are few prophecies in the Holy Bible more heart-stirring and breathtaking than the image in Revelation 17 of the Great Harlot, the woman who rides upon a frightening, scarlet-coloured beast with seven heads and ten horns. Imperiously dressed in purple and scarlet, with a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filth of her fornication, the brazen Harlot is decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. The Apostle John, whose heavenly vision so vividly pictured the strange woman, noted especially the revealing name she had written upon her forehead, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

The Apostle was clearly stricken when seeing this powerful image for he was told in the vision that the seven heads of the beast represented seven mountains that the woman sat upon. The woman, Paul was told, signifies a notorious, yet great city. This is that city, said the angel in the vision, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Perhaps the most terrifying of all was Johns recognition of the awful specter of death that the woman represented. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, testified the Apostle. And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Some claim that there is a beautiful side of evil, enticing, dangerous, monstrous and deadly, yet somehow sickeningly alluring and inviting. It seems that even the most wicked on rare occasions possess the ability to awe the world and fill onlookers with a curious combination of macabre, mystery, and trepidation.

Bible scholars say that the Apostle John wrote down his prophetic vision, which we know today as the Book of Revelation, in the year 92 AD. In the succeeding centuries, many have studied these awe-inspiring verses and have pondered and meditated on their meaning. Everyone knows how supremely important it is that humanity as a whole, but particularly the Christian Church, grasp the profound nature of these prophecies. The future of mankind itself and the destiny of every nation are bound up in this heaven-sent vision of endtime tragedy against the backdrop of divine victory.

Thankfully, God has designed and constructed His prophetic Word so that his disciplesthe men and women who know and honor Jesus Christ as Lordwill be able to decipher and understand the meaning of these passages, though they be laden with seemingly obscure symbolic content. In Daniel 12:10 we discover the promise that God will empower His latter day servants with prophetic discernment:

The wise refers to the godly person whose wisdom and knowledge come not from his own superior intelligence or inherent brain capacity but direct from God. As the Apostle Paul so joyously put it, Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is a glorious thing that God does in imparting wisdom and understanding to His children.

Edward Hendrie has been given a very special gift of discernment, and I believe his book provides evidence of this. For centuries the saints have sought to uncover the symbolical secrets of the Great Harlot and the Beast of Revelation . Who is Mystery Babylon? What is the meaning of the sinister symbols found in these passages? Which city is being described as the great city so full of sin and decadence, and who are its citizens? Why do the woman and beast of Revelation seek the destruction of the holy people, the saints and martyrs of Jesus? What does it all mean for you and me today? Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great answers these questions and more.

Edward Hendries discoveries are not based on prejudice but on solid evidence aligned forthrightly with the whole counsel of God. He does not condone nor will he be a part of any project in which Bible verses are taken out of context, or in which scriptures are twisted to mean what they do not say.

Again and again you will find that Mr. Hendrie documents his assertions, backing up what he says with historical facts and proofs. Most important is that he buttresses his findings with scriptural understanding. The foundation for his research is sturdy because it is based on the bedrock of Gods unshakeable Word.

Many sincere Protestant Christians, having studied the works of notable pastors, teachers, theologians and scholars, maintain that the identity of Mystery Babylon is none other than the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, these good men and women assert that the Pope of Rome is the antichrist. In fact, this was the historical view as endorsed by Martin Luther and other reformers.

Edward Hendries work goes far in honoring the views and works of these excellent teachers, but he goes even further. He also takes their facts and comparative studies and builds on their conclusions. His investigation is greater in depth and more encompassing.

The prophecies center on Babylon and on the iniquities of that far-flung political, economic, cultural, and religious system. What was Babylon? What did its priests and leaders teach as their core doctrine? What were ancient Babylons symbols and its abominations? Why has Babylon always been a codeword for spiritual decadence and sexual debauchery? Edward Hendrie's original research on these important issues is eye-opening.

Hendries book paints a convincing picture of the meaning of ancient Babylon and also shows how the Roman Catholic Church, the Papacy, and its rituals and practices, are mirror images of the Babylonian evil. But there is yet another religious system that is full to the brim with Babylonianism. The men and women immersed in this system promote a sordid and repulsive way of life that has definite connections to ancient Babylon and its satanic traditions. That system is Judaism and the culture of World Jewry.
