It was there that an attempt was made to erect a tower. The theme of the Tower of Babel recurs in the Revelation of John the Apostle, also known as the Book of Revelation. It speaks of the Babylonian harlot, which is to symbolize evil, corruption, corruption and destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Babilonska_Nierzadnica_i_jej_wykladnia_dzisiaj\"><\/span>The Babylonian Harlot and its interpretation today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, to this day there is no single interpretation by which we can read what the Babylonian harlot is. There are very many interpretations and differences of opinion. Certainly, however, the Babylonian harlot should be read as a symbol; a warning that St. John wants to leave us with in the Book of Revelation. It is most often referred to the moral and spiritual corruption of the rulers. To a system designed to dissolve people and turn them away from God. Some link the Babylonian harlotry to the coming of the antichrist. The Babylonian harlotry is supposed to be the collapse of societies; the reversal of values. There are also unproven theories that the Catholic Church is supposed to be this harlot. It is a powerful institution with a strong influence on millions of people around the world, promising them a \"gateway to heaven.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Babylonian harlot is a symbolic figure with no physical dimension. However, her appearance is described in the 17th chapter of the Revelation of the Apostle John:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And I saw the Woman sitting on the scarlet Beast,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>full of blasphemous names,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>having seven heads and ten horns.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And the Woman was clothed in purple and scarlet,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>all adorned with gold, expensive stone and pearls,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>had in her hand a golden goblet full of abominations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>and the filth of his whoredom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A na jej czole wypisane imi\u0119 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/chrystus.pl\/en\/tajemnica-szczescia-jak-modlic-sie-z-sercem\/\">secret<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\"Great Babylon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.\"<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The name Babylon refers directly to the biblical parable of the Tower of Babel.
