We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed:
forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country:
for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Jeremiah 51:9
"Now
Q: what made Babylon the mother?
I mean what produced her first?
A: The church leaning upon the arm of another, separated from her own husband, turning to another, leaning upon the arm of another
than her rightful Lord - that is what made Babylon.
The church, pretending to be the church of Christ, joining herself to another lord, makes the adulteress, the harlot.
And thus came Babylon the great. And as she is the one that has led in all that wicked course and set the wicked example for all the rest to follow, she is described as the mother of harlots.
Then when God in the Reformation would have healed Babylon and she would not be healed, Christianity started in the world independent of her again.
But when the professed Protestant churches have followed her ways and turned away from their rightful Lord and put their trust, their hope, upon earthly governments, earthly kingdoms, and joined themselves to these, they are the daughters; then there is Babylon and the daughters, ....
So that you see
