Let us compare the rulers that are with Satan and the rulers that will be with Jesus.


Revelation 17:13
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These ten all agree, and they apart of Satan's system,and that is where they get their power from. They will only have their power for a short time.


14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

They will fight against Jesus, but Jesus will win. Because he the King of kings. Those that are in the kingdom of heaven with Jesus are the called and elect and faithful. (this fight will happen after the millennium.)

Now take a look at the people with Jesus.

2822 kletos (klay-tos');

from the same as 2821; invited, i.e. appointed, or (specifically) a saint:

KJV-- called.

1588 eklektos (ek-lek-tos');

from 1586; select; by implication, favorite:

4103 pistos (pis-tos');

from 3982; objectively, trustworthy; subjectively, trustful:

(If we look at the meanings of those that will be with Jesus, we will see they have three qualities. One they were invited to be with him,they are special to him, and they can be trusted. Interesting thought isn't it?)


Revelation 17:15
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

The angel is now going to tell us about the waters that John saw in the vision. We saw the whore sitting on waters. Well those waters represent all the peoples including all their languages that lives on the earth. That means that this system includes the whole world, no one can escape.


Is this whole system really lovey dovey with each other? No they are just faking it.


Revelation 17:16
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Those ten kings that are apart the Satan's system, they really hate the "whore", and these people will be spiritually empty, they will have nothing spiritually to cover them, they will be totally controlled by their flesh, and they will be spiritually burned with Satan's lies.


Revelation 17:17
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.


The reason these ten kings pretend they like the "whore", is because that is what God has made them do, until all the things God promised would happen, happens. See the Lord is in controll, even of the negative side. So you have nothing to worry about.


Revelation 17:18
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The "city" that rules over the earth is spiritual babylon, which means confusion. That is the whole purpose to bring confusion to the people of the world. The woman is the religious system, everyone is so "religious" now.

So what we just found out was that the world will become a one world system. You have the "beast", which is the whole system. Then you have the rulers, which is the political side. Then you have all the people of the world, which is the economy of the system. Then you have the "woman", which is the religious part of the system, this is how it is run.
