".....There is no doubt about it, the “woman” is Rome! It is the old Roman
Religion that specialized in “mysteries” and is “unable to understand the Bible!”
In Revelation 17:5 she is called “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
(Compare Rev. 16:13 and Isa. 57:3.)
John is marvellously shocked at this apparition. He would expect pagan
Rome to kill saints and martyrs, as he was in exile at this time by pagan Rome
for testifying for Christ. But John is looking into the future, and he has been
caught up to the “day of the Lord” to see these visions, and he looks down at the
professing church of Jesus Christ, the professing bride of Christ, and finds out
that she’s the foremost murderer of Christians! This is not pagan Rome. Why would John marvel about pagan Rome killing Christians when he was one of the
ones they were trying to kill? The thing he is looking at is that great “mother of
the faith”—Holy Mother Church. Do you know what the Holy Ghost says she
really is? She’s a religious whore!! (See Rev. 17:1.) This is why the Roman
Catholic Church does not like the Authorized Version; this is why Liberal and
Orthodox scholars have put pressure on revision committees for hundreds of
years to get rid of the King James Bible (AV), and replace it with such
perversions as the RSV (which is the official bible approved by the Roman
Catholic Church for England and the U.S.A. The reason that the Roman Catholic
Church tells its people that they cannot “understand the Bible,” the reason why
Protestant scholars teach that the Book of Revelation is apocalyptic, symbolical,
and “figurative,” the reason why Protestant teachers and preachers do not teach
the Book of Revelation, the reason why God’s people think the book is “hard to
understand,” is because Revelation 17 tells the world that the “mother of the
faith,” “Holy Mother Church,” is in reality a religious prostitute. That is not the
interpretation of Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, and that is not the teaching of the
Baptist Church; that is the infallible, inspired word of the Holy Spirit, in plain
Sixth Grade English, where anybody with an I.Q. of 90 could understand it.
(And you do understand it! The only problem is what to do with it.) Why, today
if a Christian intimated that the Roman Catholic Church was not as good as other
churches, he would have all of Christendom down on his neck! What do you
suppose would happen to you if you got on the radio and said that the Roman
Catholic Church was a religious prostitute? That’s what God said about it! The
problem is not “what it means,” because you know what it means. The problem
is YOU..................."

For some years Control Avles Blog together with Jesus Partisans in the Balkans and Continuing Counter Reformation blogs were exposing the Long March of the Devil to restore his Evil Empire, the Roman Catholic empire of Constantine (312 AD). We are not yet there, but it will be fulfilled, as a necessary step to usher in the last week of the seventy weeks of Daniel. Hope you are saved in the blood of Jesus, or you'll have an hard time.
