The Personality and Character of Queen Babylon the Great

According to my interpretation of the book of Revelation the spiritual name of the capital city of Earth is Babylon.  Below is a comprehensive list of the nature and character of the ruling powers of Earth as I understand it from Revelation 14 - 19.


Babylon is a woman who:

- is great as she has unusual or considerable degree of power

- is a great prostitute, she is a woman who engages in sexual intercourse for money; she is a whore; a harlot.  She willingly uses her talent and ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money.

- corrupts the earth and the inhabitants of the earth by the pleasure of the intoxication of adultery.  Babylon's primary attack on the earth is through the treason of marriages.  Adultery is voluntary having sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.   Babylon makes all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.  She overpowers exhilaration or excitement of the mind and emotions.  The wine of her adulteries leads to mental disturbance; deranged; insane; demented behaviors.  Also enraged; greatly a provoked or irritated; angry spirit.  A person abnormally furious; ferocious.  Madness is the end goal

- She is a great city.  It is large urban town with defined boundaries, and a local government made of kings of the earth and she is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth, she rules over the kings of the earth and the kings of the earth commit adultery, these kings have royal authority



- The city sits on a scarlet beast by many waters which are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.  Babylon in other words is in motion and she is not stationary.  It feeds on all sorts of people.  

 - The kings of the Babylon are a scarlet (red) beast that is covered with blasphemous names. Impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things an act of cursing or reviling God.  They show no respect or reverence for God.  They commit the crime of assuming to themselves the rights and qualities of God.  These kings express irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred.  They are reproachful, rail at, revile, and calumniate

- beast has seven heads and ten horns and it is the color scarlet.  The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.

- Babylon is dressed in purple and scarlet, glitters with gold, precious stones and pearls.  Meaning the appearance of Babylon will always appear majestic.

- holds a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 

- has a mysterious name written on her forehead: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth".  She is the source and cause of disgust and hatred on Earth.

- is drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus

- is greatly astonishing, she is amazing, a wonder, and had in admiration

- is a dwelling for demons a home of fallen angels

- sins are piled up to heaven and God holds her accountable to crimes.  All the many sins of Babylon are being accounted as they are massive and visible to God!

- will and/or is to receive plagues.  Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

- gives herself glory and luxury.  She givers herself great praise, extol, magnify, celebrate.  She boast of her own greatness and places herself high.  She lives a life in sumptuous and delicate style of living.  Entailing great expense, as from choice materials, fine work, etc.; costly:

- in her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’  She is prideful and does not hide it!

- kings of the earth who commit adultery with her and shared her luxury

- people buy their cargoes from merchants of the earth — cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings so

- The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her

- her intentions is set to lead the nations astray and she uses the force of magic spells to accomplish her objective.  She administers drugs set on the intent of poisoning

she is a haunt for every:  
- impure spirit
- unclean bird
- unclean and detestable animal

Babylon is a place: 
- of music 
- of tradesman 
- with millstone 
- lit by lamp that shines  
- the voice of bridegroom and bride 
- merchants are the worlds important people
- the merchants of the earth grow rich from her excessive luxuries
- of magic spells that lead nations astray 
- were all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries
- where all who have ships on the sea became rich through her wealth

In her is the blood of prophets and God's holy people.  They have been slaughtered on the earth
