MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS.

By J. B. FRISBIE

ROBERT JAMIESON, D. D., in his Critical and Explanatory Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, says of Rev. 17: “The harlot is not Rome alone (though she is pre-eminently so), but every church that has not Christ’s mind and Spirit. False Christendom, divided into very many sects, is truly Babylon, i. e., confusion.
“I am inclined to think that the judgment (chap. 17:1, 2) and the spiritual fornication (chap. 18:3), though finding their culmination in Rome, are not restricted to it, but comprise the whole apostate church, Roman, Greek, and even Protestant so far as it has been seduced from its first love (chap. 2:4) to Christ, the heavenly Bridegroom, and given its affections to worldly pomps and idols.”
This Commentary was written by Robert Jamieson of Scotland, and published in New York in 1875.                     J. B. FRISBIE.
