Unfaithful Woman (Babylon) Exposed

The book of Revelation filled with poetry and prophecy, speaks about an unfaithful woman who is much different from the other women portrayed in that book. John being banished on the isle of Patmos saw her in vision and he marveled. However, the angel who spoke with him told John that she was nothing to marvel about. He explained the metaphor of this woman, otherwise known as Babylon.

Unfaithful Woman

The Unfaithful woman is dressed in scarlet and purple and she is drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the martyrs of Jesus. She is a metaphor for “that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.” – Revelation 18.

She is a religious system that deceives worshippers. This is a powerful metaphor because throughout the Bible Yehovah uses a woman to represent His people. This woman represents people that mislead others into opposing their Maker. A false system of worship is put in place and people unwittingly give their worship to the enemy.

Revelation warns those who love their Maker to “Come out of her.” An angel warns that she is doomed to fall. “Babylon is fallen, is fallen” the angel cries.

 John writes, “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

² And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

³ For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

⁴ 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 18:1-4.

This is a very solemn warning to people who don’t want to find themselves opposing God or fighting against Him. This poem speaks in plain language of what Babylon represents, echoes the warning of Revelation and the call to leave and worship the true and living God.

Unfaithful Woman is one of the poems included on my CD Wedding Invitation. The album portrays the symbol of a woman that represents God’s people. However, the unfaithful woman opposes God and symbolizes those who reject God.

Wedding Invitation is also available as a digital download. Both the CD and download are available in my store on this site.

You see that woman 
riding that scarlet, 
seven-headed beast
with ten horns?
That woman,
she’s deadly.
Murderer, liar, persecutor, slave driver, plunderer
Mother of harlots, rebellious.
That woman,
she is a pit 
don’t drop in it!

Sitting pretty,
decked out in gold 
with precious stones,
that woman
Is a cannibal! 
Devouring the flesh of prophets
while licking her fingers
and licking her lips,
drunk 
with the blood 
of the righteous
confusion, deception.
That woman,
she is a death trap
stand back!

Richly dressed
in scarlet and purple
but she a nuh nutt’n
but a counterfeit! 
Abomination of desolation,
she’s vicious 
run for your life
that woman is the devil’s wife!
She is a ticking 
time bomb,
run!

Thinking she shall see no sorrow
deceiving sellers and buyers
she’s a trickster, witchcraft worker
vampire!
Sucking the life out of all 
who won’t worship her. 
Sitting pretty
from her city
but those seven heads 
of her scarlet beast, 
those seven mountains
of her city
going crash and dash
into the sea!
That woman,
tamper with the Decalogue!  
That woman wish she was God.
Envious, blasphemous
she’s a graveyard
filled with dead bodies.
Leave her, don’t die with her.
Babylon you doomed!
