Revelation 17:3-18 KJV
3 So he carried me away in the spirit 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.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 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.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Today is mother's day and I want to talk to you about the lies of the devil and the whore of Babylon. The wore of Babylon is a traitor for she is a mother of harlots. She teaches not her children to protect themselves from the devil. She does not teach them scripture. She does not teach the ways of God but the ways of the world. She teaches her children to sin, her children to disrespect her elders, her children to run to and fro through the earth chasing the greed of money and wealth, caring nothing about the ways of God. The harlot is not able to stand against the Son of God and neither is the beast. The Son of God is the Word of God. The word of God comes forth to tell the harlot the truth of the grace of God.

Many wonder about this passage, but in all truth at no time is the devil or the whore able to stand against the ways of God. What then oh righteous mothers are we to teach our children, we are to teach them the truth of God word, so we will not be labeled the mother of harlots. The mother of devils. The mother of the world, who fear not God.

Mother's take a look and teach your children well. Teach your children to obey the Lord. You can not expect the world to teach your children about God. You can not expect outside the home and in your neighbors yard to teach your children about God. It must be taught in the home of the grace of God and the hope of God. Today is a celebration of those mothers who cared enough to teach their children the grace of God. To teach them the ways of God and how to live in the world in contradiction to the ways of God. To teach them of the mystery of God. If mother's do it not, the world will teach your children. to lie, to cheat, to steal and most of all to betray the ways of God.

Dear Heavenly Father thank you for godly mothers that obey you with all truth, and that pray daily for their children. That teach their children right from wrong. That teach their children how to walk godly in this world. In Jesus precious name, Amen
