We're going to look at both of those Pastor Warner on Sunday afternoon tea tweeted about how that stuff.

Beginning to listen to The Book of Revelation and was looking for some resources and stuff. I think some of the resources that I study of the Book of Revelation and he thanked me for that. But you need to study the Book of Revelation and I do believe that is that this is the time needed to be aware of what the last book in the Bible says it is our generation to not be aware is to be caught off guard because there are many things that are coming in it as we look at the Book of Revelations. What's these things in place? We might not have a clear understanding.

Be there and insult the Bible does it say that we see through a glass Darkly what it comes to teachers names. And so, you know, if you look at these tinted window stuff, you know, you can see the person you get to see the Book of Revelation. This is kind of like yeah, that's kind of dark and mysterious do I don't understand it, but it's time to turn the light on and to take a closer. Look at that. Trying to do in our studies. So we're going to look tonight at the great or the mother of harlots the Abominations of the earth. We're going to look at this person in the Bible calls or this. The Bible calls mystery Babylon and its is a fascinating study. And so I trust that it's going to shed some light on what we're dealing with us as we lived in the world what things are behind the scenes that are the spiritual forces that are having an impact that work so that you and I can better live for God and be the life and once we want to start by just reading Revelation 17 verse 1 to 9. And again, this subject is very broad subject. It really starts in chapter 16 and goes all the way into chapter XIX. That's a lot of real estate given to this subject. mystery Babylon mother of harlots and Abominations of the world so much space in this last book of the Bible where we're going to deal with me. And so let's read the first one and nine Revelation chapter 17 of the Seven Angels swept the 7th, I will show you the Judgment of the great Harlot who sits on many Waters with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication and the inhabitants of the Earth.

So he carried me away in the spirit Into the Wilderness and I saw a woman sitting on a Scarlet Beast with 7 with which was full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns was the rain in purple and Scarlet and adorned with precious stones and Pearls having in her hand full of Abominations and filthiness of her fornication and on her forehead that name was written mystery Babylon freaking mother harlots and Abominations of the Earth. I saw the woman drugged with the blood of the states with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus when I saw her I marveled with great amazement. The angel said to me, why did you I will tell you the mystery of the woman and up the beef that carries her which has the seven heads and the 10 want the piece that you saw was not at Willis and out of the bottomless pit and go to Perdition those who see the Beast that was and is not and yet he is here is the mind which has wisdom the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman six He-Man So you can read the rest and we'll touch on some other verses as we go along. But I want to think with you first of all tonight about A Tale of Two Cities really we need to say that the Book of Revelation is the Charles Dickens novel The Tale of Two Cities was talking about the Paris in London about Paris and London in the Book of Revelation Babylon and Jerusalem. So when? We first come to the Bible whether we know it or not from the very beginning Babylon plays a significant role. The matter of fact, you know what this really know where the garden if you didn't exactly was because there was a flood that changed the geography of the Earth 3 Genesis chapter 10, the Earth was divided in and solve it.

Most Beatles at likely the Garden of Eden was where the ruins of present-day Babylon are. And so when we think about that, we find that the Garden of Eden now. We don't have time to get it fully into this. But if you start reading it, you think you'll chapter 28, you will find that in this picture of Satan the prince of Tyre. There are three cities that really are very important in the world economy. It is in spiritual things of Babylon and Jerusalem Tire in present-day Lebanon. We know they're going through their things but he's resting well enough both Babylon and tire have judgements pronounce suggested for total Destruction and their cities will never be and those judgments have Ciara future and really these chapters spell out for us Babylon set sudden destruction.

I keep that in your mind at who is the prince of Tyre very interesting meeting was your Dwelling Place was the place where the devil used to serve man blessing in Dominion. It took it for himself. And so this is always tells headquarters and where man had his Destiny and blessing and where the devil became in throw up. So remember that back in the garden, but then shoot ahead to Genesis 10. We're going to read first dates and said that this is the first city that we find in the Bible and also the first king King from this place Babylon back then was called Babel Fusion, but it's the same Flex Genesis Tambor State NBA fighting one on the earth. He was a mighty Hunter before the Lord there for his dead like Nimrod the mighty Hunter before the Lord and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel Eric and count in the land of shinar. So that would be in present-day Iraq right word Euphrates river. Is that general area? And so this is a nimrod TV chance to be a mighty Hunter before the Lord. This literally means that after the flood. Remember God said to Noah. I want you to spread out. I want you to repopulate the earth. I want you to feel it. And rather than that and they build it up towards heaven and the Bible tells done in defiance of the Rebellion against God really find are what this is Spirit at work in human beings to oppose the will of God takes place in Babylon when we think about that. You don't understand. This is the spirit of the world that that refuses to bow down to God refuses to submit itself to him and he's going to do it our way. We're going to build a tower up to heaven. Email a picture of religious works if people try to do testimony of Salvation and died on the cross for our sins, if we could not make it to Heaven. He came down to us a spirit.

Is going to Memphis is going to give us access to heaven in really. Specially becomes Defiance against this determination. We're going to live.

Morality, are we are values? Spirit updates, can you see it in society around us? Can you see that Spirit that's already at work? And so it's no mystery that Babylon in the spirit of Babylon begins to take an ever-increasing role in society as we get closer and closer to the end times as we read the book of Revelation Revelation a town of three women. or three female figures and 3/6 each of these females are associated with the city now women are symbolic of an ecclesiastical system religious systems Spirit of Jezebel spiritual influence the Old Testament into Israel in an incredible way. She had her this whole nation Spellbound. We find that spirits and work in the last days in the spirit of Babylon. So what are the three remember Revelations? Well, there's one we found a month. Now a great sign appeared in heaven a woman clothed with the sun and the moon Garland stars, and she did.

Jesus Christ she is his real Jesus came through the nation of Israel. She is represented as a mother. She's represented as the wife of God married to God and he will end. And it was through her that the Messiah King was giving birth and came into the world interesting about her that she's always lead to the city of Jerusalem.

That from the very beginning we have the father of thing. He's approached by milk as a deck. The high priests. That is a type of Jesus Christ. He is the king of Salem. And Jerusalem means a place of peace. Has not experienced that in this world, but one day it will be more by that. the Bible does minuses of Jerusalem for

The mother of Messiah the Hebrew really to the church and so we can find the second female figure we have is the bride. Church, we are the bride of Christ dead. We're going to read more about her as we moved to chapter 19 and chapter 20 21 22 because it's all about the bride of Christ. When we give our lives to Christ. The Bible says that we become his bride in chapter 19 of us spiritually with Christ. We are his bride and we are called to live our lives in Spurgeon. Literally, it means that you're keeping yourself pure and holy for a future, mate.

This bride is associated with the city that we find coming into being. The last chapters of the Book of Revelation and that is the New Jerusalem Jerusalem wailing and we look forward to that one day being united with Jesus. He's our husband-to-be. The Third Woman is the one I've already mentioned. We have a mother we have a bride. We also have a hor.

Not only are more the mother of sports. She has children. Even though she herself is not married. ladies not legally She has the number to Peter primarily state.

But also the Antichrist and the false prophet. And drowned her and her relationships with the Devil.

ecclesiastical system Spirit of religion That started we're going to build the Tower. We're going to make our way to God. We're going to live based on Good Works. Weather in as we take a little closer. Look at her we find out that really aren't that many good works.

What there is is uncleanness? So here is a religious system. So to speak that from the outward has the appearance of Holiness, but inwardly it's full of all kinds of corruption defilement.

What is very interesting when? The people of God the children of Israel God's wife fell into idolatry Bible lichens that to sexual morality. What what was the punishment? What was the Judgment? He sent them to Babylon because what are you saying? Is that your spirit? even more like a horror than like my wife

so she is very witty. sea Battle So here's the Bible talks about mystery Babylon. I want to sleep with you about that secondly because she has a number of shark near you can see it better to understand this. But what's interesting is that again mystery Babylon is bull. a female singer a harlot

and so it was very interesting chapter 17 does deals with the Harlot the religious spirit and chapter 18 deals with the city and into chapter 19. So what was very interesting is the parallels between these two things and I think we'll get some understanding.

the church was the mystery in the Old Testament.

And all of a sudden Jesus died on the cross and Ebert's the church were there in the midst of it? mystery Babylon

Take down exactly what we're dealing with what we're dealing with that one, but I want to drop some attributes are some characteristics here that are found its name Babylon the great called the Great.

Then we find that she's going to be destroyed. We'll talk about that by fire destroyed by the gallon. So when we think about this mystery, who is it?

State religion

Where's mother and child sand moves? Set your bear and we know that even the wise men came from the East.

They were from the east from this area. There was all kinds of false religions, you know, we read about so many Pagan religions and rituals and things in the Old Testament. Did it come from from the East? from Babylon Eastern religion Mississippi hydraulic

It's all there.

but not only Is it from Babylon but we know that that will on basically was destroyed. And you know the Persians took over in about five 60 AD. They came in Babylon was vulnerable. They came in the script the Kingdom from Babylon Empire and then Babylon just kind of sat there was an influence over the tire. That's why you seek you will probably begin to speak about tire and its influence is painless way to Rome. The Babylon of the day the matter of fact is we re Pierce Peter 5:13, it says Peter is talking about in Babylon there but he says this she who is in Babylon elect together with you reach you as soon as Mark I said many people did call about this for that's drunk because we know that both Jews and talk about a d70. The great destruction that came to the Jewish people and the persecution for hundreds of years Christian. Kane from the Roman Empire It's 313 ad Constantine has a vision of the Cross and he's converted to Roman. Or to Christianity and so with Constantine come to United with wrong with Christianity today. We have Roman Catholicism a religion is the mystery religions. Some of their things, you know, if you go into Roman Catholicism other religion to see them doing the whole lot of things. We look like it's certainly not in the Bible. You'll find that most of the things King from Babylon are united together with

What's a religious?

That has the elements of nimrod working your way to God system of works. apart from the grace of the blood Jesus Christ

there is immorality and often in the Bible the Bible calls idolatry to go hand-in-hand together and where you find idolatry you will work together.

Listen to Revelations 2:20 this week. The Church of thyatira. I have a few things against you because you allow that woman Jezebel morality and eat things offered to idols. Buddhist religious system are most people feel that we were talking about in the end days is there is going to be a one-world religion and we can already see this that work where people are into dropping their standards and embracing one another ecumenicism up. We hold together is more important than the things that separate us in store.

Is going to be the chief and deception episode.

They will have a form of godliness with that powers the Bible.

There's a second element Babylon dismissed as we find that she Schnitzer a pond Seven Mountains. The seven mountains are the seven Kings lyrics are to be involved in the political system, which is the enzyme for we also have the Antichrist but there is going to be going to be religious Babylon and there's going to be political and economical Babylon that takes place in the last days.

Dick's Sporting Goods, let's build us. Let's Be Cops, United so that we are strong. If you're going to unite with Babylon, you have to take the mark of the beast. You're going to have to wind up the pizza place value system.

The scripture says the kings of the Earth in these times are going to fall in love.

the economic benefits prosperity One World Government and one world economy. We're already seen movement towards that it was just not many years ago now with the internet. Now is wire transfers this whole system is made possible that the Bible talks about this economic rulership that takes place.

What is the city going to be where this takes place? I have to say I'm not really sure I don't think we can see clearly many have proposed wrong that Rome will become the center because it has a history other people say, you know Babylon is definitely going to be rebuilt in the Middle East that is an interesting events taking place in the Middle East.

we don't know but you definitely will have its influence through Europe.

and the European Union was very interesting if you go in front of the European headquarters.

What you will find right in front? Is the statue actually we could look at the second picture if you're online you get to see this. Is a picture of a naked woman sitting on the Beast right there in front of the European Union was formed in the seventies how they're willing to accept the end of a really strong. What did whoever will do that will stand behind them? Was very interesting at the goddess Europa. It just happens to be front tire. If you look at her image, you can go on the internet for the Book of Revelation was written you will find a woman. sitting on a beast Chris Spark

so this is predominantly a European it begins to take place. Oh Babylon comes into Power a very well cookie roll. It could be Brussels. He could be Geneva. What we find is that it becomes the economic importance of the world right now.

What we can see is almost certainly the United States is going to lose its Financial clout.

so With that in mind I want to speak with you about the Insidious. We see to this one. first tulip chapter 18

I want you to think about this. Let's go back to the Garden of Eden Satan other throws his plan to destroy man to usurp his authority and blessing. He's been working against God the will of God. The purpose of God that is seen in Babylon tried Defiance is rebellion. This is continued for thousands of years exercising its influence seducing people leading them away from God.
