2024 THEME: Run with the Horses

SERIES: The Lamb Wins!!

TITLE: The Defeated Foe

Scripture: Rev. 17:1-18:24

“When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.” Pr. 29:2 (NLT)

I.  THE MYSTERY WOMAN               

Babylon= a symbol of the (city of man), humanity intent on living (apart from God). She is portrayed as a woman: a (prostitute). She has a cup in her hands but it is not wine but the (blood of God’s holy people).

Who is this woman? She is called by various names but let’s just say she is the (kingdom of the world) that opposes the (kingdom of God). Turn to I John 2:15-17 (p.592)

II.  THE BREAKUP

The woman gets all her allure, her power and presence, from (the beast in Chapter 13).

What makes this vision timeless? (He never explicitly says who it refers to).

Two things to note:

1. 1. 1. There is an (urgency) in the angel’s voice.
      2. We live in (Babylon).
