Okay. Just another little explanation.
We are talking about the Mystery Word thing.
Everything here has something to do with the Mystery Word. So, they are all interconnected and common to the Mystery Word.
Clue 1 is about the MYSTERY. The Babylon the Great. The Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.
Clue 2 are series of clues that leads to the Key.
But the Key is already revealed.
And other codes were already cracked.
We only have left two more codes to be revealed.
The head of the Great City
And in a false foundation she was built
🙂
head of the Great City
As a review, the Clue mentioned that the second angel has parted himself from the horns of the beast. These horns are associated with the power or authority of the beast.
We have learned that the second angel is the German monk named Martin Luther. And our previous study reveals that the beast refers to the general position of being the Pope at Rome.
The third line of the Clue 2 is telling us that this second angel has parted himself from the horns of the beast. In this case, we can glean that Martin Luther has parted himself from the power or authority of the Pope at Rome. Meaning, he didn’t want to hear or to obey the orders or commands of the Pope anymore. He even went against those orders. In what sense did Martin Luther do this?
Luther became a public and controversial figure when he published (October 31, 1517) his Ninety-Five Theses, Latin propositions opposing the manner in which indulgences (release from the temporal penalties for sin through the payment of money) were being sold in order to raise money for the building of Saint Peter's in Rome. Regardless of the manner in which his propositions were made public, they caused great excitement and were immediately translated into German and widely distributed. Luther's spirited defense and further development of his position through public university debates in Wittenberg and other cities resulted in an investigation by the Roman Curia that led to the condemnation (June 15, 1520) of his teachings and his excommunication (January 1521).
Papal authorities ordered Luther to retract and submit to church authority, but he became more intransigent, appealing for reform, attacking the sacramental system, and urging that religion rest on individual faith based on the guidance contained in the Bible. Threatened with excommunication by the pope, Luther publicly burned the bull, or papal decree, of excommunication and with it a volume of canon law. This act of defiance symbolized a definitive break with the entire system of the Western church. In an attempt to stem the tide of revolt, Charles V, Holy Roman emperor, and the German princes and ecclesiastics assembled in 1521 at the Diet of Worms, and ordered Luther to recant. He refused and was declared an outlaw.

When Martin Luther called to appear before a council, the Diet of Worms and was asked to recant, he declared:
“Unless I am proved wrong by Scripture or plain reason
I cannot and will not recant,
Because to act against conscience is unholy and unsafe.
Here I stand. So help me God,
I cannot do otherwise.”
Now, why is it said that the beast is the head of the Great City then? What is this Great City? And how did the beast become the head of the Great City?
Simple. The beast is all about the Papacy. The Great City is none other than Babylon the Great. And what is the relation of the Papacy to the Great City of Babylon?
Papacy is the term for the office of the pope - the supreme head of the Roman Catholic Church. The word is derived from the Medieval Latin papa (“pope,” or “father”), a term originally applied to bishops in general.

Clearly, the Pope is the head of the Roman Church. Not just the Head. But the Supreme Head of the Church. Now, let’s play a simple logic:
If the beast is all about the Papacy or simply the Pope itself, the beast is the head of the Great City, and the Pope is the supreme head of the Roman Church, the Great City therefore refers to none other than the Roman Church.
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
The MYSTERY, therefore, is the Roman Catholic Church.
On the other hand, who is the True Head of the true Church of Christ according to the Bible?
And he (Jesus Christ) is the head of the body, the church;
Colossians 1:18
New International Version
Regarding the Great City, why is it said that in a false foundation she was built?
That would be the concluding topic.
wow people really don't understand riddles, which kind of amazes me, i wish i'd have actually looked at your sig and tried this game a long time ago jury..
ok lets see i'm a rather... cathotic drinker so i'll do try to do this drunk.
anyways after a few minutes of trying to find my fingers, lets take a look at this logically,
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
babylon the great, obviously we are going by the christian/catholic form of religion. dealing with the clues jury has adequately given us, we are referring to rome and roman catholics.
The second angel is referring to the Devil, satan, lucifer, obviously none of those words are 8 so we can conclude that this is a part of the clue.
obviously satan unviels the second part of the mystery.
the first clue just reeks of jews and babylon, the scripture in revelations talks repeatedly about how god took john and showed him the "whore and abomination " etc etc of society and talked about the great kings..
oi.. i'm pretty drunk and all this bible crap has totally killed my apetite for drinking and having fun i'll check back in later jury but for now, i'm gonna make a wild 8 letter guess out of all this crap...
i figure, that since bablylon was one of the first great cities and because of it's economic expanse it outdid rome, thats why it succedded so well.. until the collapse of it's society because of the whole problem communicating so.. since it was such a big deal to the
city and ultimately to the church.. my guess is..
E C O N O M I C
crap i know thats wrong i just dont want to deal with this biblical crap anymroe tonight.
