The Catholic Church is not a nation. Rome has small hills not mountains. The mother is the beginning of persecuting , lies and deception and this did not begin in Rome. 1 John 2:18-19 , Acts 15:24 Same people . Went out because they wanted the law and circumcision, this was the same people who corrupted the Galatians. Daniel 11:37 the God of his Fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The cup in the harlots hand , Zechariah 12:2 , Ezekiel 23:31 , Revelation 17:4 . Read all of Ezekiel chapter 16 . The world, except for the elect church, is deceived and worships the beast so how could they know who the beast is ?
