A thought has crossed my mind from time to time. Why is she called "Mystery" Babylon? What's the mystery? Maybe the mystery is that the Church is both the virgin and the great Whore. The natural part, as you say, is Babylon. The pure part is the Virgin. And who is to judge? Only the Lord. In that case, every church has an element of Babylon, including the Local Church, which takes pride in calling itself Philadelphia.

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.
