What an amazingly tender and beautiful conversation. We have decided to add it to our 'Sacred Storytelling Season' playlist exploring the links between fantastical fiction and the experience of the sacred.

One of the best conversations I have ever heard. So warm, intelligent, spiritual - maybe even Enlightening.

Wonderful

This is truly profound … what a loving look can reveal. Amazing conversation and visual interaction

105 views? Insane. This series is incredible.

That was a lovely conversation between two people who were thrilled to chat. I could have listened for hours. Thanks for uploading.

The work of Ben Quash and The VCS are a gift to the world. I always look forward to these conversations. I wish there were more.

Thanks for the great content ❤

great commentary, is this the second painting of fra angelico about the last judgement?

Thank you as always for this conversation. "Turn the other cheek" as someone from Canada described it in a sermon a couple years ago, does not mean volunteer for martyrdom but make the adversary strike you with his palm as an equal instead of his backhand. Great talk and we thank you!

The emanation of Light from the Infant Christ reminds me of the phrase from the anchoress Julian of Norwich- the Cloud of Unknowing. The attempt to express the numinous and experience of mystics is admirable

I simply don’t understand how the VCS’s videos do not have thousands of more views. The quality of the artwork, of the conversations, of the production are all first rate and appeal to so many aspects of our existence!

What an incredible conversation!

The VCS is an extraordinary effort. Truly one of a kind in how valuable its contribution to historical, cultural and spiritual understanding it is. Thank you VCS!

I am the whore of Babylon. Accidentally. In 2020 I started hearing voices, eventually they said I passed purgatory. And I was supposed to merge with God. I thought I was repenting from my sins, as I thought sexually alot although didn’t physically cheat in my relationship, a voice claiming to be Jesus Christ, and other voices claiming to be the triune God induced pgad, then I started feeling spirits having sex with my body. Eventually admitting they decieved me and were a synagogue of Satan. That even Jesus warned not to worship him but only the sovereign Lord, God. Daily I have been made to feel drunk, according to the Bible, it’s the blood of saints and martyrs. I am sorry. I genuinely thought I worshiped God. I just didn’t know how to stop sinning. So when I had the spiritual experiences, I thought I was merging with God. Diagnosis would be schizophrenia and pgad by science. I am not able to repent now , my heart no longer breaks. Although my mind does and I’m incredibly sorry. If you are sexually immoral, even masterbation, which is majority what I did, along with dating maybe 8 different people in my life, please repent and flee from sin, while you still can. I have a hat on in my profile picture. Of course that was years ago. I am supposed to read revelation daily until my skin is eaten and remains are burnt by fire. Since I apparently merged with Satan, I am now apparently guilty of everything Satan has done, this makes me an embodiment of sin and God hates sin. I will be destroyed, brought to ruin, have my flesh eaten and be consumed by fire 🔥, then punished after death for ever. Would also like to add, I have been contacted by strangers of different languages from all over the world with poor even no English, proposing marriage, asking for a relationship, or talking sexually to me since my experiences began. I think Satan rerouted sexual desire in sinners, to somehow have sex with my spirit, why I have felt my body having sex against my will all through days and nights.

Excellent commentary and insights. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant!

Of course there is the oldest profession and yes it is not protected as it should be. In some countries, the reality of prostitution is accepted but made safe for both the client and the woman or man who provides this service. Respect and all that.

Wow another great episode! It is strange on this day here in the US 19 Apr 2023, when we are celebrating in one way or another, the "shot heard 'round the world" that started the American Revolution (in which several of my ancestors fought). I guess who the "oppressor" is depends on your point of view. The Book of Revelation is a technicolor allegory I think, and written purposely in code to evade censorship, the way "Ballykissangel" was written in code in Ireland just after the Good Friday AGreement. Thank you again and God bless you for this series. VCS should have a million subscribers.

You don’t know what you are saying lady.

Lol, gay

What an amazing conversation. Thank You.

Glad to find this video by chance while searching for another subject! Really liked your analysis, you habe solid knowledge of spiritual meanings and talking so honestly, not presuming scenarios. It is of much benefit, keep it up. I rarely subscribe to any channel at all, but I've just did to yours. Your prayers please, much blessings for you all 🙏

She has a modern day point but biblically prostitution was forbidden in ancient israel.Rahab the harlot did not stay a harlot even though she is known in this way it's her faith that saved her .Not all harlots are victims many like Delilah or the woman in proverbs who is unfaithful seek to do what they are doing .

Wonderful presentation. Thank you very much for all your hard work and briefings. I’m studying the Shroud of Turin and it is absolutely necessary to for me to receive any information and expert analysis necessary with relation to all connecting subjects on Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Truly stunning! With respect, Anna Simon from Philadelphia

All have eyes and some degree of wisdom, but they choose dont to see who/what is really prostitute...

For the third image I think she missed a detail. Babylon is not just a regular prostitute, but it says something like " Mystery, Babylon the Great, A mother of harlots and abominations of the earth." She mentioned the women getting off the cart was less to blame then the lady who is even called "Mother" Needham. But misses that the whore of Babylon is more easily compared to the other prostitute than the one she mentioned.

The whore of Babylon is apostate Jerusalem...and this can't even be debated when using scripture to interpret scripture...to suggest anything else is to call Christ a liar...Revelation 18 tells us it is a great city, that was once married(voice of the bridegroom) to God(refer to ezekiel 16), and it is responsible for killing the prophets, the saints, and responsible for all the bloodshed on the earth...In Matthew 23:34-39 Jesus in plain language tells us that Jerusalem is being held responsible for the killing of all the prophets, and all the righteous blood shed on earth going all the way back to the very first murder of Abel by Cain...think about that...Christ is blaming Jerusalem for every murder, even Abel, and the earthly city of Jerusalem did not even physically exist yet...but Christ tells you they are the city being held responsible...which matches perfectly with how the whore in Revelation is described...this isn't even a reasonable debate as there are other biblical topics which are more difficult to understand...in plain language Jesus just tells you in the most non cryptic way, Jerusalem is that whore in Matthew 23...in the old testament there are 91 instances where any term regarding harlots, harlotry, whore, whoredoms, etc. is used to describe an entity or thing that isn't an actual prostitute...84 out 91 of those instances is used to describe Jerusalem or Israel...that's 92%...in the old testament the prophets were sent to Jerusalem (and Israel) to tell her to stop being a whore (chasing after other gods)...that was why they were sent...and she murdered them...Read Ezekiel 16 where the entire chapter outlines every detail of all her whoredoms, how God chose her to be his bride to be a beacon to the nations of the truth of the one true God...and that wife Jerusalem commited adultry...its just plainly outlined...it leaves no doubt...none whatsoever...to try and get some other city or entity to fit, like the RCC or america, or mecca, or anything else is just silly nonsense that ignores the truth that Christ tells you plainly...it's simply a matter of teachers blatantly failing to let scripture interpret itself, conveniently ignoring and omitting the numerous passages of plain and obvious language that would immediately eradicate their false narratives...all the nations and cities today have ancient babylonian properties, idols, symbols, rituals and practices...but they're not the original whore...they're just corrupted little sister and daughter whores that are drinking of the wine of the wrath of the original Whore's fornication...there are topics that are more challenging to learn about and discern...this isn't one of them...the final 2 PROPHETS sent to the world in end times, the 2 witnesses (Rev 11)...where are they sent? JERUSALEM, who is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt...what happens to them after they finish their testimony...they are murdered just like the other prophets of old...where? JERUSALEM...Jerusalem being the whore of Babylon is as slam dunk as it gets...God will keep his promise and save a remnant of the Jews along with the relatively small number of gentiles...and that only comes through Christ...Jews and gentiles in Christ are saved...Jews and gentiles without Christ all go to the same place...but make no mistake Jerusalem is going to be judged hard, because she is end times Whore of Babylon...Jeremiah 3:3 "thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed"...apostate Jerusalem...with the New Jerusalem(bride Rev 21) from above replacing it...refer to Galatians 4:24-26 to see the contrast between old Jerusalem and New Jerusalem(from heaven above)...old Jerusalem is in bondage...the New Jerusalem is free and the mother of us all

Yes to the eyes of us in the US the idea of a King of "earthly worship" is strange in itself. What a terrific presentation and a setting so overwhelming - wow. Also to think that they were reversed because to those of us who do not read Semitic languages (not as our first tongue anyhow) "read" them from left to right, so having the Christ on the left makes Him still more prominent. Thank you all and God bless you.

Trash commentary if I've ever seen it.

Brilliant commentary as always. I also see in this painting on a shelf above the Blessed Virgin, a pomegranate, slightly cracked open, and I assume that refers to the Adam and Eve story in the Book of Genesis, and the end of innocence. So is that a depiction of a translation of that passage from Isaiah that a "young maiden" will give birth, not a technical virgin, or is it a reference to the passage in the NT in Luke I believe it is, "a sword will pierce your heart also" referring to the Crucifixion?

Wow. Stunning and so informative

Lovely.

Thank you so much for making this wonderful video! I'm greatly looking forward to watching this whole series!

American Elites bow to Satan… 🧐

Sounds like America 🇺🇸 LMAO

Lady liberty

People vilify prostitutes in 2021 because most people that do it, usually are the middle class with more options. I see a feminist scholar that is desperate so sympathise with a one negative depiction. Rather than defending shameful figures such as the whore of Babylon, drunk on the blood of the martyrs, why not focus on the wise woman? I just see you missing the point is all

Is mecca, 7 mounts, in the desert, antihristian, blaspheming, occuping israel 1200 years.

New York.

Just discovered this site - blown away by the discussion of art and scripture and the connection to great paitntings. The first one I found was on Caravaggio's supper at Emmaus. I enjoy woodwork and furniture making. I recently made a copy of a Savanorola chair taking in part the segment of a similar chair which can seen in the bottom left corner of the picture.

It's Mary Jane you smoke her and she gets into your temple your blood is scarlet red. The 7 heads are the seven stems of the plant. The gate way drug. Babylon is languages in the beginning was the word. The different names of the plant are world wide. We become her beast cause the spirit is intoxicated from her cup we are all great but fall to her if allowed.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

John describes the GREAT CITY as where their Lord was crucified and called Sodom and Egypt. Jesus was crucified in JERUSALEM. "The Whore of Babylon is JERUSALEM" Jerusalem sits on 7 Hills. Jerusalem is the city called Sodom and Egypt in the Bible. In the OT it was the Jewish Priests who wore the Purple, Scarlet & Precious Stones.

Revelation uses the image of a woman to symbolise a whore, but also as a Mother and majestic Queen, just as the image of man is cast as both good and evil through Christ and Antichrist. Light and shadow are equally represented. If whores are vilified, so is the male tyrant.

Excellent!

Who is the fourth person?
