The meaning of the word 'Vatican'...

The word 'vatican' comes from Latin and is a contraction of two words in the following way:
'Vatis' = 'profetic' or 'diviner' 'Can' = 'serpent/snake'
These two words combined make:
'the profetic- or made devine serpent'
The Vatican is a place, so you may say, that 'Vatican' means 'the place of the profetic- and worshipped serpent'.
Trying to translate 'divining serpent' into every-day-English I would say it means:
'A spiritual serpent that is worshipped as god'.

The crest of the Vatican; the pagan babylonian god 'Marduk'...

In the Vatican-museum the crest of the Vatican is the oldest and central piece of their collection. Underneath you can see a photo of this 'icon of the Vatican'...

The crest of the Vatican: 'the serpent-dragon'; it represents the pagan god Marduk from Babylon; Roman Emperor Heliogabalus introduced it to the Roman Empire in the 3rd Century. Just before the Vatican had been formally established by Emperor Constantinus in the early 4th Century with the crest of Marduk. Clearly, the Vatican is the priesthood of Marduk!

Knowing the meaning of the word 'Vatican' no one will be surprised that the crest of the Vatican is 'a serpent-dragon', because that is exactly what the word 'vatican' says it means ánd what our Bible says in Revelation 12:9 'the dragon, the old serpent called devil or satan...'.
Of course there are many more ways to find out the true nature of 'the vatican'...!

Vatican: deception of the highest kind!

Like a true cameleon the opponent of God knows his way through the world and how to deceive mankind not to worship and honour the only true God, but honouring him as god instead. Of course the king of liars and murderers is also very satisfied in keeping people away from God. The devil wants to take as many people as possible with him in his downfall.
In a 'christian-sham-appearance' the lord of darkness speaks through the mouth of the one that calls himself 'replacer of God on Earth':
Fili Vicarus Dei...

Every sincere Christians knows, that only one is the true Comforter of Men and our advisor on this Earth: The Holy Spirit of GOD and no-one else!
Both Vatican and pope go against God's Commandments

The Vaticaan has erased and altered a number of the Commandments of God [read Exodus chapter 20], for instance:
the 4th (Sabbath-) Commandment and the 2nd (Not to make or worship statues-) Commandment.
Instead of the 4th 'Sabbath-Commandment' the pope introduced 'the Sunday'; the holy-day of the trinity-sungod also known under names as: 'Baal, Astarte and Tammuz' or Isis, Horus and Seth (='IHS')
Instead of the 2nd Commandment the pope introduced the making and worshipping and veneration of statues from saints and pagan gods...
Instead of the 1st Commandment the Vatican appoints 'a replacer of God on Earth [=Fili Vicarus Dei]...the pope...

The Roman-catholic-church: pagan and idolatrous Babylon in progress.

To get a clear view on what is really going on in the Roman-catholic-church-system, some supplementary information is needed in order to see what is basically and actually going on in front of everyone. Names, rites, symbols and legends can explain a lot...

-----------------------------------------

Global names of the Babylon-trinity-sungod...

Babylonian sungod-worshipping already exists for thousands of years; to be more exact from right after Noah ended his journey as we told in 'The origin of the trinity' till this moment on. All over the world the sungods are worshipped still. In Masonry, in Buddhism, in Hinduism, Islam, nature-religions and New Age.
The trinity - of which the Trinity has 'spinned-off'- is very famous under the names 'Baal', 'Astarte' and 'Tammuz' of which Baal is 'the Father-God', Astarte is 'the Mother-God' and Tammuz is 'the Son- and reincarnation of Baal'.
Baal is also known as:
Horus [eye in pyramide], Moloch [god of the dead], Buddh, Bel, Bal, Belus, Abir of Aber [=winged-one], Janus or Chaos [in Rome], Kronus [=with horn], knous of Nebrod.
Astarte is also known as:
Isis, Cybele (the goddess with 12 stars; celibacy and shaved head requiered for her priests] Eternal Virgin, Venus (goddess of Love) Laksjmi, Ariadne, Rhea, Goddess or Queen of heaven/the heavens, Goddess of fortresses

Tammuz is also known as:
Daggon [=fish-god], Seth, White Centaur, Ninus (=son), Bacchus, Dyonisses, Cupid, Hercules, Osiris, Son of Aethiops, Kissos

------------------------------------------

Babylonic idolatry in the Roman-catholic church

Mary is worshipped as
'Queen of heaven(s)'= Astarte Mary is worshipped as 'Eternal Virgin' = Astarte Celibacy: priests of Cybele: shaved their heads and kept'celibacy' voor their Goddess = Astarte

Cybele with episcopal 'daggon-hat'...
Daggon-hats [=hats of priests] symbolise 'Daggon' = Tammuz
The Sunday = Holy day of the trinity-sungod (IHS) = Isis, Horus, Seth
Easter comes from the name 'Astarte' = keeping holy time for Astarte
Easter-egg comes from the Chaldean-word 'Egg' of which the legends ay Astarte would have come after the great flood... gekomen
Eucharist = 'to propitiate' = bringing a sacrifice; which is not the same as 'thé Evening Supper', because The Evening Supper is done in rememberance of the crucifiction of Jesus; we do not 'propitiate' anyone nor are we sacrificing 'real meat' of the body of Jesus nor can we 'propitiate' God with perpetual offerings in any way. Jesus already offered himself for sins and Jesus has risen from the dead and is alive now.
Who would be propitiated with a perpetual offering of Jesus?... Only the devil himself would be propitiated!
Also 'the solar-wheel' (round window with spokes), the letters 'IHS' , the hostie-plate with solar-imaging, statues and portraits of
Moloch in church and on church-altars, etc. All mentioned pagan gods, their symbols and rites are found in the Roman-catholic churches; and not in those churches, clothes of priests and in their rites alone...!
Also these pagan rituals and symbols are used in Buddhism [=god Buddh = Baal], Hindu-ism, New Age, Wicca and Masonry; always the same rituals, the same symbols, statues, pictures and titles and stories occur...
In short: Babylon is not dead, but very alive still !!!

Now according to the Vatican curator:
"The Vatican Hill takes it name from the Latin word Vaticanus, a vaticiniis ferendis, in allusion to the oracles, or Vaticinia, which were anciently delivered here."

Aulus Gellius, writing in the 2nd century, also said the word Vatican was derived from the word vaticinia, or prophecies, in his Attic Nights, book 16, chapter 17.

Research the word Vatican in many Latin - English / English - Latin dictionaries, or encyclopedias, and you will likely find that Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica of the Roman Catholic Church were built upon what was called in Latin vaticanus mons or vaticanus collis. The words mons and collis mean hill or mountain. You will also find in the dictionaries that the words vatic / vates / vatis all relate to prophecy as shown here:
Source: The New College Latin and English Dictionary, revised and enlarged, by John C. Traupman, Ph.D., published and copyrighted by Bantam Books, 1995, ISBN 0-553-57301-2, page 437.

Note that there are five words listed above containing vatic, and all relate to prophecy. The word vatic and its association to prophecy can even be found in a standard English dictionary:
Source: Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary, Home and Office Edition, published in 1995 by Longmeadow Press, Copyright 1988 by Houghton Mifflin Company, ISBN 0-681-20227-0, page 458.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online

And here is what you would find in a Latin - English dictionary for the suffix -anus:
Source: The New College Latin and English Dictionary, revised and enlarged, by John C. Traupman, Ph.D., published and copyrighted by Bantam Books, 1995, ISBN 0-553-57301-2, page 60.

Vaticanus then is a combination of Vatic + anus, just as Romanus is a combination of Rome + anus. Therefore, vaticanus collis or vaticanus mons mean "the prophetic hill or mountain", which can be rephrased as the hill or mountain of prophecy. The word Vatican is just a shortened form of the word Vaticanus, just like Claudian is a shortened form of Claudianus, as shown above. This association of the Vatican with prophecy is even confirmed by this recent Catholic book:
Where does the word "Vatican" come from and what does it mean?
The word derives from the Latin vates, which means "tellers of the future." This name was the name given to a hillside on the west bank of the Tiber River in Rome because daily lineups of fortunetellers used to hawk their "wares" there to passersby on the street.
In the fourteenth century, when the papacy was returned to Rome from Avignon (France), the present-day Vatican became the residence of the popes, and the word came to refer to the enclave in the middle of Rome that had become the seat of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Apostate Church

The woman described in Revelation 17 represents an apostate church, the direct opposite of the true and faithful church represented by the woman described in Revelation 12. While the Roman Catholic Church readily and willingly identifies itself as the woman of Revelation 12, the bride of Christ, it is precisely and graphically described in Revelation 17, as we shall see.

Rev 17:1 ... Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 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.

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The woman of Revelation 17 rides a symbolic beast. A beast in scripture is symbolic of an empire or state. Examples of this are explained in Daniel 7, where a lion represented Babylon, a bear represented Medo-Persia, and a leopard represented Greece. Therefore, the woman of Revelation 17 riding a beast is symbolic of the combining of the ecclesiastical power of church (the woman) and political power of the state (the beast), i.e., a church in control of state power.
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Vatican City is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and since the Lateran Concordat of 1929 it is also an independent country, the epitome of Church and State combined. The full formal diplomatic title in Italian is STATO DELLA CITTÁ DEL VATICANO, as shown on the coin below from the pontificate of Pope Pius the 12th, which means:
The City-State of Prophecy

Conclusion:
The Vatican (STATO DELLA CITTÁ DEL VATICANO), which means City-State of prophecy, is the woman of Revelation 17, Jezebel, the apostate harlot, the mother universal church, the persecutor of the saints that sits on seven hills in Rome and claims authority over the kings of the earth.

Word History: The origin of the word Vatican is shrouded in as much mystery as the place itself. It was used simply as the name of a hill in Rome, Mons Vaticanus "the Vatican Hill". The Latin word vaticinor means "foretell, prophesy" from vatis "poet, teacher, oracle". This suggests that the original hill was the location of an oracle, a place where high priests communicated with the Roman gods. Thus the name reflects a long history of contact with spiritual powers.

Jezebel
Now note this passage in Revelation 2:
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

In prophecy a woman represents a church, and Jezebel here represents the apostate church, who has taught corrupted doctrine, which is described as fornication, just as in Revelation 17:

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 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.

Now, pay close attention to this ...
The apostate church in Revelation 2:20 (Jezebel) calls herself a prophetess ... so by her own admission she is linked with prophecy!
