Here the angel who guides Apostle John is a fellow-servant, "into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." (17:3) What is the mystery? The four beasts that figured in the vision of Daniel were all judged. "they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time."(Dan.7:12) What we see now is Israel rejected by God. Mystery places Israel 'as one of us'. " Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations./All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?" (Is.14:9-10) "(Jerusalem) the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." Spiritually Jerusalem on the earth is on the same footing as Babylon. "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast./These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast./These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them." (Re.17:12-14)
