The finger pointing as to who the Book of Revelation’s symbolic Babylon is, and therefore who these particular Believers are that Christ considers as not
accepted by Him, is usually aimed toward Catholicism. Yet, this is so very
hypocritical because the reality is that 95% of foundational Protestant-based
doctrines ARE Catholic doctrines. The main difference is that Catholics have a Pope, and Mary-worship is part of their tradition. But the underlying
anti-Semitism, the built-in bias against the Jewish people, the explicit insistence that the Jews are cursed and their blessings have been transferred to gentiles, and that the Jews operate under one divine justice system and gentiles under another, has been thoroughly carried forward into the bulk of Protestant and Orthodox-based Christianity, even if often this is subtle and not necessarily spoken too loudly from the pulpit.
