Why I Believe The Great Harlot is Dubai

I realize this sounds completely ludicrous.  But I am just going to cut to the quick on these blogposts due to the late hour in history.  I feel an incredible sense of urgency.  I really want to get the information out there first and I will come back and refine it later.

Through the years Roman Catholicism has born the brunt of most eschatological rhetoric for good reason.  Many of the theological rulings of the Vatican have been outright heresy.  Even today the Vatican remains the vortex of a Christianity that is so twisted that it is not even biblically recognizable as a legitimate voice much less authority structure.  This is not to say that there are not many authentic saints that identify with Catholicism.  Because there are.  The Lord has purposed this.  His mercy and grace always prevails for those that love and trust Him in spirit and truth.

Having said all of that...  Roman Catholicism is not the Great Harlot of Revelation 17-19.

From a plain reading of Revelation 17.18 the great prostitute is a city that serves as the global capital in the end times.

"The woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

This picture is nearer the imperial power of first century Rome under the Caesars than it is the modern day religious influence of the Vatican under the Pope.  

This means we should expect to see a single city arise in the end times as the central hub of global government.

What city is best positioned to take the seat of global authority in the coming years?

The answer to that question rests in a related question, what city is best positioned to become the world's leader in implementing artificial intelligence?

The answer to that question is Dubai.

Dubai will become the global capital due to its commitment to implement artificial intelligence.  It will become the first true "Smart City" built for the next level of technological innovations.  Once established, this advantage will not be relinquished.  It will govern its citizens with cutting edge artificial intelligence.  It will lay the groundwork for a blockchain economic system making global commerce possible like never before.  The centralized tech center created in Dubai will emanate out across the entire world seducing the nations with an historic consolidation of wealth and power. 

In short, Dubai will fulfill the prophesy of Revelation 17.3 

"I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast" 

The woman is the global capital in the end times.

The beast is the ai god of the singularity.
