Rev 17:8 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.
Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

but Vatican is the only city; "which reigneth over the kings of the earth".

You are nowheres near the first to propose that Vatican city is the WoB, but the claim that the Roman church reigneth over kings in the time of the events described in the texts you quoted cannot be supported, especially if you believe that those events are currently unfolding.

it's perfectly supported, because it's the truth, and there is no other, and i don't make any claims to the info, God is the one who revealed it.

OK. I thought you wanted to talk about your understanding of the passages, and I find them interesting too :-)

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
