There really isn't a whole lot of mystery in the teachings of Witness Lee. He liked to say, simply this, and simply that. And, at the end of the day his teachings were just that - simple. Not so high, and not much of a peak.

Roger, Hi again brother !
Great Question !
As the Church, the Bride of Christ is composed of regenerated followers of Christ, so 'Mystery, Babylon the Great" is the bride of Antichrist and is composed of the followers of ALL FALSE Religions.
Satan is a counterfeit. Just as CHRIST is the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR so is Antichrist the FALSE messiah and savior of this world (so it seems.) It is only fitting that if Christ is to have a bride, then
the Antichrist will also have a bride "Mystery, Babylon the Great", not a city like the Holy City New Jerusalem but
a SYSTEM, a religious and apostate system composed of all false religions.
