Above all things, the suffering the true Believer has had to go through over the seven church ages has been - a woman dressed in purple - ROME.
Rev 17:4 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 [amazed].
BROTHER BRANHAM'S 7 VISIONS
Brother Branham in his 7 visions in regards to the end of this nation and the coming of the LORD, saw the same woman John saw on the isle of Patmos 2000 years before.
LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
Then in the sixth vision there arose up in America a most beautiful, but cruel woman. She held the people in her complete power. I believed that this was the rise of the Roman Catholic Church, though I knew it could possibly be a vision of some woman rising in great power in America due to a popular vote by women.
The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America. - William Branham
There is only one woman that can completely in all things fulfill the sixth vision, and she sets of seven hills, ROME.
