"The sun signifies Christ...the moon can be considered a figure of the church, the wife of Christ...the stars first signify Christ…although Christ is the real sun, He does not appear as the sun during the present age of night. Rather, He shines as the bright Morning Star."

Not forgetting some positive endorsements of the footnotes to the RcV. That including world renown New Testament translator and scholar F.F. Bruce.

To those who know the Bible and church history, it should come as no surprise that the Lord’s servants are slandered. The Jewish religionists called the Lord Himself “Beelzebul,” and He warned His disciples that they too would be vilified (Matt. 10:25). Paul was reviled and defamed, considered “as the offscouring of the world, the scum of all things” (1 Cor. 4:12-13). Evil reports were spread about him, and he was called a deceiver, even though he was true (2 Cor. 6:8). Paul told his co-worker Timothy that “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Tim. 3:12). The pages of history are stained with the blood of countless Christian martyrs. Those raised up by the Lord to advance the recovery of the truth and practice of the Christian life and the church life—such as Hus, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, Zwingli, Whitefield, the Wesleys, and so many more—have been opposed by religious zealots and smeared by malicious falsehoods.
'The Lord is not building His church in Christendom, which is composed of the apostate Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant denominations. This...is being fulfilled through the Lord's recovery, in which the building of the genuine church is being accomplished...Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as Judaism, all [have] become an organization of Satan.'
"And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the fury of her fornication!" (Rev. 14:6)
God judges something in the end times which has made all the nations drunk with the wine of the fury of her fornication.

What does this stand for?
That Christianity was now an organization of Satan?
The effective way to interpret "Babylon the Great" in Revelation 13,14,17,18 in terms of Christians in the New Testament is to carefully consider it in comparison to Babylon and the Babylonian Captivity of Israel in the Old Testament.
That is why the sign is used - to show the spiritual parallel. The idolatry, the mixture carrying away God's people into a foreign captivity from which they need to be recovered back to their own land.
Interpretation of "Babylon the Great" of Revelation should be done carefully. A trite answer tempts some to make broad brushed generalizations.
For your purposes a simple "Yes" is all you want. You have so far proved unable to do anything but exploit a simple answer for your agenda to mock "Witness Lee's wisdom".

Sorry sonship, but you continue to support a charlatan who condemns your Christian brothers and sisters to satan.
Get out of the thread or stay and continue your nonsense.
Just about the same. All you are doing is encouraging curious people to look into whoever this fellow is - Witness Lee.

Until this thread was created, most people were only aware of the Witness Lee you presented. Following this thread, readers are aware that he thought Protestants and Catholics were in an organization of Satan.
Some people say Paul being in prison was not good for Paul.
A sufficient number of Christians know better.
