"Here is the mind which has wisdom: the seven heads are the seven mountains on which the woman sits" Revelation 17:9
The Seven Hills of Rome:
Aventine
Caelian
Capitoline
Esquiline
Palatine
Quirinal
Viminalis
Rome is often referred to as "The City of Seven Hills."  The Catholic Encyclopedia states, "It is within the City of Rome, called 'The City of Seven Hills,' that the entire area of the Vatican state proper is now confined."  God specifically tells us about the judgment of the "great whore" in Revelation 17.  In the first verse, we read that one of the seven angels having seven vials said to John, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters."  Revelation 17:15 tells us that many waters refer to "people, multitudes, nations, and tongues (languages)."  The Catholic Church has the greatest number of followers in the world today among religions (www.catholicbygrace.blogspot.com).  While some Christian churches boast their millions, the Catholic Church claims more than one billion members (en.wikipedia.org).  Revelation 17:2 says, "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."  Throughout the Old Testament scriptures, the prophets frequently reiterated in the ears of Israel that they "went a whoring after the gods of other nations" (Deuteronomy 31:16).  There is no other church in the world more affiliated with big government than the Catholic Church.  The Popes have visited nations all over the world (en.wikipedia.org), and they have aligned themselves with the European Union, the Club of Rome, and the United Nations.  The Catholic Church promotes a one-world government (www.catholictruthscotland.com).  Revelation 17:4, "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication."  The Catholic Church has sold "indulgence in sin" certificates, absolution from the punishment of sin for a specified price.  I can think of few things more blasphemous than this.  In Acts 8:18-23, Simon offered the apostles money for the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, and the apostles told him, "Repent of thy wickedness," and they told him he was "in the bond of iniquity."  Revelation 17:6 says, "I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus."  Verse 9 says, "Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits."  The scriptures allude to more than one meaning in some instances, such as the Passover Lamb (OT) and Christ (NT).  Not only do the seven heads of the beast represent seven continents of the world, but they are also indicative of the seven hills within Rome, regarding the "great whore" of Revelation 17.  One day soon, God is going to judge the Catholic Church for the torturous murders of countless saints during the inquisition.  I have read part of "Fox's Book of Martyrs," but not in its entirety.  The heinous acts committed by the Catholic Church against Christians and Jews is hardly tolerable to read.  We have forgotten, but God has not forgotten.  The atrocious manner in which the Catholic Church tortured, burned and maimed the saints was unimaginable.  The Catholic Church confiscated their wealth and has never made restitution.  Their magnificent cathedrals adorned with gold, precious jewels, and fine linens portray magnitude of their theft and embezzlement of the wealth of the innocent ones they burned and tortured.  Most of us couldn't burn a bug alive, and that's the truth.  The Bible tells us in Revelation 17:16, "the ten horns which you saw on the beast (ten rulers), these shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire."  God is the epitome of love; He came and died a cruel death for us.  Nevertheless, church leaders today do not want to publicize that He is also the epitome of wrath and vengeance poured out upon those that do so wickedly, "Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" Revelation 20:15.  We will truly reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7).
