Introduction:
Introduction:
The coming one-world leader is the Antichrist, but the true world Leader is the Christ.
The coming one-world bride of Antichrist is Mystery Babylon the Great the mother of Harlots, but the Bride of Christ is the Church.
The reign of Antichrist will produce the Tribulation Period, but the reign of Christ will produce the Millennium. The Antichrist will establish his headquarters in Babylon, but the Jews will get Jerusalem and the Church will get the New Jerusalem.
Babylon is more than a city; it is a religious system, as well as a political and economic system.
Here in Chap.17 we find the destruction of the world’s false religious system.
Mystery Babylon has a double identity. She is a bad woman who adorns herself with riches, but she is also a city who makes others rich.
The Bible tells us that a harlot is more than just a woman who physically commits sexual sins. A harlot* is also a person who spiritually has stopped following the true God and has turned to idol worship.
Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem are good women who use their riches to help others and they are holy cities.
Chapter 17 describes the woman and her fall at the hands of the Antichrist and his ten puppet kings shortly after the Tribulation midpoint.
The Topic this morning is:
The Harlot Babylon the Great
The Harlot Babylon the Great
Let’s begin talking about
I. She Sits On The Masses
I. She Sits On The Masses
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
John will be invited to look at the punishment of Babylon the mother, the great religious harlot who sits on many waters.
This is a revelation of what God plans to do with this harlot religious system.
In the Bible, seas and waters* represent great masses of people. They represent people, nations, and tongues.
The fact that this wicked woman is pictured as sitting upon these great masses is an indication that she will be supported by them, and she will exercise control over them during the Tribulation Period.
Arno Froese - The political roots of ecumenism (uh·kyoo·muh·ni·zm), the united world church, are in Rome; the spiritual roots go back to Babylon.
Hal Lindsey - I expect to see more and more mergers between Christian denominations and more emphasis on ecumenism.
Recap before I continue:
The Church in heaven looked like a sea of glass. (Rev 4:6
6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
The Tribulation Saints in heaven looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Rev 15:2
2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
Babylon the Great (the mother) will sit on the masses* of the world.
II. No More Separation of Church
and State
II. No More Separation of Church
and State
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
The harlot religious system will commit adultery with the kings of the earth.
She will conspire with world leaders to produce a merger of religion and government.
Here it finally is! A religious system united with a political system
to manipulate the people of the earth into a false government-approved religion.
“The wine of her fornication” is a reference to demon possession. This wicked woman will cause people to be led astray by deceiving spirits*.
Jack Van Impel -Teachings of non-monotheistic Eastern religions have infected even the Church itself, driving it increasingly toward apostasy and a laissez-faire interpretation of God’s Word. With widespread religious deception so out of control, it is easy to understand how worldwide ecclesiastical trends are leading to the dawn of a one-world church controlled by the spirits of Satan.
Ed Hindson - In summary… The spirit of the Antichrist and the mystery of iniquity were already at work in apostolic times. Apostasy has progressed throughout church history, pre dating the modern church. A large segment of modern Christendom is already apostate. Unbelief is rampant in liberal circles.
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
Some experts take a very anti-Catholic stance on Revelation. This should be avoided.
The one-world religion will have a lot of Catholics in it, but it will also have a lot of Protestants and other religions too.
The saved, regardless of religion or denomination, will be raptured, and the lost, regardless of their religious beliefs, will be left behind.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you’d would like to receive Jesus today, please pray this prayer with all of us:
Lord I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died On the cross for my sins and His resurrection from the dead gives me eternal life. I ask forgiveness of my sins, and I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Amen.
