Scriptural Traits of the Woman of Revelation 17:4

The Idols of America
The Statue of Liberty and Statue of Freedom
Plus Other Icons that are actually "American Babylonianism"

by R.A. Coombes

The woman is described in Revelation 17:4 as having a golden cup in her hand. This fits in with the Statue of Liberty, who has indeed a golden cup in her outstretched hand. (See the Statue of Liberty Website Link to see a picture of the original golden globe flame, which replaced the original cup when NYC authorities asked to modify the cup to a light source for shipping. The original golden cup was than sold to the Czar of Russian, where it remains today. Here's the link).

This cup is described as having "bdelugma" in the Greek text. You will see it in the KJV word "abominations." Now this word is Strong's Code #946. It means a foul thing, detestable, usually of idols...it comes from the root word bdeoh = "to break wind" or "pass gas"...it is something that is very smelly and extremely offensive.

Now, the Statue of Liberty has inside the torch the fuel for its flame..."natural gas" or bdelugma. Is this a coincidence between scripture and the Statue of Liberty? I suggest strongly that this is no coincidence. The torch is actually being described in Revelation 17:4 as is the woman. The woman in Chapter 17 is the symbol for the super-nation that is code-named "Mystery Babylon." But this is not the only connection between the Statue and the woman of Revelation 17:4.

The crown of 7 spikes is also being described in Revelation 17:9. Here we see the woman referred to as sitting on 7 "horas." This is the same word that the mystical religion of Freemasonry doctrines uses from the Greek mystics who kept the doctrine alive from Ishtar worship. The idea of the enlightenment of the sun god Shamesh-Utu...or Rah in the Egyptian language was that it would be enshrined to all of the 7 "horas" or continents of the world.

These Greek mystics used that Greek term "horas." Marvin Trachtenberg in his book on the Statue of Liberty (Viking Press, 1977) refers to the crown's 7 spikes as doing just that. It was to enlighten the 7 continents with Shamesh's occultist wisdom. Revelation 17:9 uses that same terminology.

Now, the KJV and the NASB English versions translate "horas" as meaning "mountain." Mountain is indeed the normal meaning of the word in Greek. But the Greeks general and overall root word basis was "large land mass" for which mountain usually fit the definition.

Unfortunately some new translations miss this point entirely and have translated the word "horas" as meaning hill. This comes from the erroneous assumption that the verse is referring to the 7 hills of Rome and that the woman is Rome. This is a wrong assumption.

Moulton & Milligan's Greek Vocabulary cites that the correct word for "hill" in Koine-Greek (and in other Greek dialects) was the Roman word "bounos" and this was always the word that was to be used when referring to the 7 hills of Rome.

After all, this was the Greek word that was borrowed from the Romans. Everyone referred to Rome's 7 hills a "bounous"...and not "horas." Therefore, the assumption that Revelation 17:9 refers to the 7 hills of Rome is complete error. The verse then must be referring to the continents where the Woman's enlightenment rays are flashed from her 7 spikes in her crown.

Now some skeptics will point out that no crown is mentioned in Revelation 17:4. However, Revelation 18:7 calls her Queen and what do all Queens wear to prove their position as a Queen? A crown. This is also substantiated by Isaiah 47:1-9...where in the KJV she is referred to as a Lady.

But in the original Hebrew the word designates female royalty as either Queen or Princess. So here again we have a connection between the woman and another scriptural passage that is very subtle in its attempt to signal to us the identity of this woman. It is a signal that couldn't have been known nor comprehended for 1800 years.
