The “Great Whore” is Here!
In one generation, the modern church has become the harlot woman of Revelation chapter seventeen. There are uncompromising saints everywhere and the distinction is that they know something is terribly wrong. A multitude of these Bible-believers have tried to stay in those churches and help turn them back, but that is hopeless. That is not what the Lord Jesus wants us to do. He said, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins” (Revelation 18:4b). You are going to do that or you are going to be judged with “her.”
This “Great Whore” is soon to be judged. In fact, you can see judgment already at work. Effeminacy has gripped the ministers and a great part of the male leadership of the church world. The women have utterly forsaken feminine characteristics and godly living. It’s amazing to watch the men becoming effeminate and the women becoming masculine. The only word for such a dominating turn is the judgment of God. The Holy Spirit is giving them up to their distorted, carnal ambitions and passions. The worse is yet to come.
Let’s look at the judgment that is soon to fall on this “whorish” church world. At the command of Jesus Christ, which He received from the Father, an angel spoke to John, “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters” (Revelation 17:1b). God’s Bible is infallible and every ministry, denomination, or local congregation that has forsaken any part of truth is ripe for the judgment. The Son of God left no room for carelessness. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4). We are without excuse!
Drunkenness has become the dominating mood. Not drunkenness from strong drink but drunkenness from the love of this world, its pleasures, and its perceived success. You must understand that conviction of righteousness and holiness has been withdrawn. This is the first sign of judgment. The Holy Spirit has been distorted, grieved, maligned, and imitated until at the Lord’s command He has withdrawn from almost the entire church world. If you try to tell those involved this has happened – almost the entire church world — they will hate and destroy you if they can. Nothing is more evident in this “Great Whore” than total drunkenness and obliviousness to the developing judgment and God’s call back to the Holy Word of God.
Not only is she drunk, but she is blind. The great hope of the Church has always been the return of Christ to Rapture us and to remove us from the judgment to come. This is a New Testament theme. Those church groups that claim to still believe in the Rapture have become incapable of preaching the truth. Constantly, the good saints that are trying to remain with this blind church world are begging the ministers to preach the Rapture, but they only get crumbs. The ministers will say little nothings that sound good to these thirsty souls, but they are only crumbs to keep the saints fooled.
The worship has turned from spiritual to soulical. The music excites the base desires for fleshly satisfaction instead of a sacred longing after Christ and His sweet Spirit. Watching contemporary musicians do their thing is like watching unsanctified flesh bouncing and gravitating. This new music will stir religious people to go ballistic emotionally but leave the godly feeling empty and depressed. Contemporary music is an imitation of spiritual music and worship. Watch the people — singers or worshippers — and their lives will be a perfect picture of the downward spiral from Biblical godliness to utter compromise.
This Spirit said, “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication” (Revelation 17:3-4). The “Great Whore” church is “full of names of blasphemy.” Here are the seven blasphemous characteristics in her name:
Full of Names of Blasphemy:
1. Denies the absolute authority of Holy Scripture.
2. Blasphemes the single source for the cleansing of human sins.
3. Rejects the fear of God, which is God’s lasting means of wisdom.
4. Denies the absolute demand of holiness in the human temple (our body).
5. Blasphemes the created sacredness of male and female.
6. Forsakes the great depth and beauty of the human spirit.
7. Transfers the center of human life from the spirit to the soul or the fallen nature.
Do not be fooled! At the beginning of the embrace of soulical music, the theology seems intact. It will only take a few months and then the drastic changes will begin. The change is called a paradigm shift and there is seldom any possibility of a return to the Biblical mindset.
The “Great Whore” is going to be judged at the conclusion of the seven years of this Great Tribulation. Most of the church world, where this woman reigns, has either forsaken the Book of Revelation or in the process of forsaking it. Preaching or teaching on these strong prophecy trends is utterly absent or given only lip service. Any emphasis on separation from sin and worldliness has been deserted. The distinction of male and female is lost. The attire is effeminate for men and Jezebel-like for women, and they consider me insane for saying such things.
She will be burned with fire, “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. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled” (Revelation 17:16-17). Even John the Revelator was impressed with her magnificence and had to be rebuked. You may have the same emotions, but now the cover is blown.
“Come Out of Her!” Quit hanging around a church world that God, by Jesus Christ, called “the Great Whore.” Unless you give up your bondage to this Antichrist system, you will be judged with her. “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). Do not repeat the worn out excuse, “I’m waiting for God to tell me to get out of my compromised church.” He already has. You must obey Him or you will suffer the judgment that is soon to fall.

It’s an interesting article, a scathing indictment, a blistering diatribe but prophetic in tone. I am not sure if the great whore of revelation is actually God’s own ecclesia (church). I always assumed that the whore described the Roman monolithic global institution which has embedded herself in every kingdom and nation of the world…but..? ? ? There is some science behind the feminization of males.. There are estrogen-like chemicals in plastics and soy products and contained in many processed foods since the 1980s. They also cause females to mature much faster than normal. I have prayed about attending a church for some time, but no leadings have been forthcoming. In my area they are social clubs, traditional or dead. I know that many churches have been infiltrated by satanists and witches for the purpose of corrupting and controlling them. In short, the saints have to pray more and play less. Hope we all turn instead of burn!

Hi Brother Joseph.
I’ve been through most of what you said here personally. In 2003 the Episcopal Church agreed to the ordination of Gene Robinson who is an active homosexual as diocesan bishop of New Hampshire. In 2006 Catherine Schori was voted in as presiding bishop of TEC. Her theology includes “Mother Jesus,” homosexuality as a “gift,” and pluralistic salvation.
She and her legal team have around 50 lawsuits out to take away the properties of parishes that resist these anti-Scriptural innovations. More often than not, most parishes either accept these false doctrines or else turn a blind eye to them and refuse to act.
When I saw that I could not prevail in getting enough members of my parish to stand in opposition, I finally left it and TEC as a whole in disgust.
I AM GLAD DID!
Thanks for the great article. I consider it a vindication.
God bless.

We Catholics have been hoping the effeminate men and masculine women will leave and join the Episcopals where this deception comes from.
Once they leave – most are dying off from the horrible era of the 1960s – the “harlot daughters will see the horrors these people have inflicted on the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ. Eventually the “rapture trappers” will get over the Millerite theology of men and return to adore and worship God in the Holy Eucharist, our nourishment until we enter the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
You did a pretty good job last week with your exhortation, Joseph – I have a feeling this week, however, you’re playing around with the discredited idea that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon, as Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and others alleged 500 years ago.
Get out of following the traditions of men, Joseph. Come back to Rome!

Wonderful Pastor,
I left last Sunday, I am saddened by the false manifestations and the blind eyes and deaf ears. It took me twelve months to come out thinking I had to be there regardless of the apostate condition, but now my eyes are open and my ears hear very clearly. I am amazed at how much studied negligence is in the body and to add they cannot recognize Stacy Campbell and her manifestations as pure works of darkness. I will continue to endeavor to open the eyes of the blind and cause the deaf to hear as there must be many hearts that are right with Him and on the border of truth and lies.
In Christ’s service
Kath.

Here’s a perfect example of your message and the “Whorish Church” of today!
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Committee recommends allowing same-sex marriage Jul 6, 2010 | By Peter Smith psmith@courier-journal.com The Courier-Journal … The Louisville-based Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) would become the largest denomination in the nation to allow same-sex …
The above article was in our local newspaper yesterday prompted me to write a letter of rebuke to the Committee of the Presbyterian Church (USA). They evidently have never read Romans Chapter 1. Even those who approve of such things will be punished.
We must take a stand for righteousness at all times.

Pastor Joseph, thank you. It’s been many years since I was saved, & drawn out of this church after realizing this revelation by John. I tried explaining to many who are currently attending this church, but their roots are so deep, only our prayers can save them.
Mike Doti
First Brother Joe thank you for the call. I understand personally about the fall of this church age. I tried to help at my local AOG but to no avail I have finally left. It is a shame that the church does not see that the falling away Jesus prophysied about is the last days church body. Afterall you can not fall away if you have not once belong to the body. “JUDGEMENT ON THE CHURCH AND IT’S LEADERS IS COMING”.

TRUTH and PURITY
I left many churches as they never understood that the primary core doctrine of Christianity is sanctification from sin–a real divine intervention that looses a person from Satan’s grip.
1Co 6:11 KJV And such WERE some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Many churches never understood or rebelled against the fact that the Bible is the ‘very Word of God’. It not only reveals atonement through Jesus blood shed on the cross, but its Words of Truth come to life by the Holy Spirit to make us pure and holy.
Pro 30:5 KJV Every word of God is PURE: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Eph 5:27 KJV That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
It is so important that a Christian stay within the paramiters of God’s Truth.
Psa 33:4 KJV For the word of the LORD is right; and ALL HIS WORKS ARE DONE IN TRUTH.
And furthermore…
1Jn 2:5 KJV But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
John 14:23 KJV Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

I agree 100%!
It is mind boggling that any (so-called) christian church can accept homosexuality and abortion.
Obviously, they don’t read the Bible in those churches…
And, you know…it’s pervasive.
For example,
I majored in relgion at a christian school, of the United Methodist Church. Some of the things we read, and the activities of the teachers in the department, looking back, we’re wrong…the ‘Jesus Seminar’, Ecumenism, Social Progress, New Age…(‘The Urantia Book’ was an interest of another).
We studied a lot of books “about” religion and philosophy…but spent FAR TOO little time reading the BIBLE….
The Bible must be the focus!! It is an endless source of inspiration and information, because it is God’s book…speaking to us…
It took me many years to realize that…but, thankfully, I saw the light…
And, now, I can say this…
this generation longs to call “EVIL” good, and “GOOD” evil…
they have hardened hearts, and have become spiritually discerned…
(Please, GOD, whose name is JESUS, help us all WAKE UP!! And, us…let us be like the WISE VIRGINS, and fill and trim our lamps!!)
I found this group…called “The Most Holy Family Monastery”….and they say the Catholic Church, since Vatican II, has been apostate, and there has not been but ‘anti-popes’ since then…
You can see that…when you check out all the evidence and scholarship the brothers have done.
Anyway, my point is…
We must always call “EVIL” evil, and “GOOD” good….
A church that doesn’t, is more like a social club

I would like to address Sean’s comment: I don’t think Joseph was referring to the Catholic Church per se. He seemed to equate the whore with the backslidden, apostate Christian religion at large, not specifically any denomination. He knows there are true Jesus followers in every kind of church, but was writing about the trends that have infected all churches. In my own comment neither was I referring to the Catholic Church, but the greater Roman culture and influence that dominates America and much of the world, seen in ideologies, architecture, naming schemes, finance, govt, etc. Of course, though, the Roman Catholic Church has been a major facilitator of these things through the ages as she presses toward the Roman goal of world domination. Also, I might add that I was raised as a Catholic before I encountered the living Christ and the truth of the Bible.

Dear Pastor Chambers,
Thank you for the article. Like Patrick said (preceding post), your article is a scathing indictment and a blistering attack on the church. However, you are correct and I for one stand with you. I left my bible believing church more than a year ago when its leadership adopted the heretical Undercover teaching by John Bevere. Most recently, I viewed a video tape (online) of my former pastor who was talking about accountability. The pastor said, “You are accountable to me just as I am to accountable to leadership in this church and our affiliated church organizations.” The pastor made no mention of accountability to Jesus Christ. Many Bible-believing churches are now drenched in heresy and false doctrine, having replaced Christ with itself. Most who attend these churches are clueless to their dreadful association with darkness. I came out of the worldly church system because it had transformed from a beautiful experience with the Savior into a repulsive place, offering itself as a substitute for Christ. The meaning of the word “antichrist” has taken on a completely new meaning because the spirit of antichrist is alive and well in my old church.
Jim
Thanks for the article. Anything I read anywhere, I always pray to God and the Holy Spirit that only truth will revealed and blasphemies will be abolished.
I am a Christian and I completely believe everything in the Bible from Genesis to Revelations and know that the Rapture is coming and it’s coming incredibly soon.
True, it is sad that churches nowadays don’t preach the complete message of God and only pick and choose and even go as far as completely avoiding certain subjects! As for the people of the church becoming slaves to the great whore, I only pray that they will have their eyes opened and they realize the true truth and that the word of God is absolute and you must take it all in and not choose parts that sound good to the ears.
Ever since I have been born again, I only spread love and the word of God and I want everyone to know that the Rapture is coming soon and the time is closer than most realize. I would never hide anything in the bible to anyone who has a willing heart, mind, and soul for God.
God Bless to everyone, not just people here and keep the word of God within yourselves and let us all spread the good news of His word!

I’ve always believed that the entire (genuine) “Church” as a whole is described in Matthew 25 as the 10 Virgins. That is a picture of Judgment! They all “believed” and went forth but over time they slumbered. Nevertheless, 5 of them knew that He might not come at “8pm” or “10pm” but possibly as late as midnight instead. They counted the cost ahead of time and, knowing how desperately great their NEED was for that precious OIL, they paid the price to make sure they would have extra when the time came and it did. At the time of Judgment, 5 receive more Oil and 5 have what little Oil they had taken away.
During the time of David and Saul there were basically two kings of Israel for a while. Both were “of God” and both were anointed king. When David was anointed by Samuel the Spirit of Truth came upon him, then AFTERWARDS, the Spirit of the Lord LEFT Saul, brrrrr. This is a Judgment. In a court case, normally there are two parties before the Judge. One party leaves rejoicing because the ruling went in their favor while the other party leaves dejected. Imho, THIS is about to happen to all of us who profess to Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus. The coming Revival, most likely the final one for the Church, will be a Judgment. The praying widow of Luke 18 will finally (like the wise virgins) get her petition granted after many a long year. Judgment is coming. May we all be watching and praying and longing for Him with sincere hearts when He comes, and may our Father in Heaven and the Lord Jesus receive all the glory that is due them.

Dear Pastor Chambers
What an article, cut to the quick about what bothers most of us.
Malachi Martin prophesies along with another catholic prophet that the Roman Catholic Church will break up because of intense internal tension between bishops and cardinals, the remains will be used to corporate the new global/antichristchurch of Rev using the remnants of this enormous ecumenical platform.
Writer #13 Sean Come out of her in the Name of Jesus. I did.
It is estimated that the Roman Catholic Church has murdered about 100,000,000 people.
Read the Jesuit Oath please, it can also be found in the library of Congress
( I am Canadian)
Here is a question regarding ones faith, we are pretty good at our claims of faith.
What if we were in a prison cell being told to deny Jesus Christ and did not have our support group with us? Does each one of us have enough faith to stand on our own at that time?
When we are told to come out; it may not be a comfortable thing to do. That prison could be our own body, rejected by society, homeless, friendless, jobless and thats before the rapture before things get really bad.
Once I had very few possesions and I was very happy, I was a child, today I must be Jesus’s child,
God Bless all who love Jesus

Pastor Chanmbers,
I’m very interested in your interpretation of this passage, but I’m a little troubled by your assertion that Contemporary Christian Music is unholy. Ignore the beat and read the lyricks (Straight out of scripture just like hymns). The music itself is nuetral. The worshipper imparts praise to God regardless of the style of the music. If the worshipper becomes unholy by virtue of liking a certain style of music that is contrary to traditional music, then all music is unholy. Traditional music is merely the contemporary music of your childhood instead of mine. Just as you will never reach an African Tribe with the Gaither’s Greatest Hits, you will never reach the current generation of pierced and tatooed pagans with it either.
Perhaps I have misunderstood your intentions. I just want to remind people that Jesus didn’t walk around in a three-piece-suit with perfect pastor-hair during his ministry. He had long hair, sandals, and a dress. Let’s not impose the culture upon the Gospel, or speak where the Bible is silent.
