1. "I will spue (vomit) thee out of my mouth", Rev. 3:16. Rev. 18:11-24 tells us the result of this vomiting out. We have been taught that they were vomited out in 1878 and this would be forever.
2. From the standpoint of a church systems, what is spiritual harlotry? If it is necessary for a nominal church system to have been first exposed to our Lord before it could commit spiritual harlotry, could one of those systems now commit spiritual harlotry? Let us remember that they were all vomited forth in 1878. Would they not have to come back into relationship with our Lord again, before they could commit spiritual harlotry the second time? B261:2,3; C111:2,3; SM404-411
3. We conclude that those systems could not come back. We freely admit that the Roman Catholic Religious organization and about 350 more such organizations still exist, but that they have no "Paramours" (kings for husbands; husbands whom they say are ruling by divine right). We also freely acknowledge that England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Italy all exist as nations but that they have not existed as church-state world Empires since 1918 or before. If we check out these nations today, we find that they all have more or less come under the influence of Communism or Socialism or both. This would have been impossible as long as Church and State together had control over the people. This also explains the necessity of Babylon going to destruction as the first phase of the gradual annihilation of all phases of the system of fallen, imperfect men. Once again, False Christendom is gone forever. All these systems, both national and ecclesiastical are together with all other elements of this man- made society going to a complete destruction in preparation for the mediatorial reign of "The Christ." BF:8
4. We also conclude that while the Roman Catholic System still exists as such, it can not, since 1918, be considered to be either antichrist, beast, harlot, or man of sin. B277:1,2
