Ep. 364. Revelation 17-19 | The Fall of Babylon

EPISODE 364

THE FALL OF BABYLON: REVELATION 17-19

Babylon is both a physical and spiritual enemy of the people of God throughout the Bible. In today's chapters, we see Babylon finally brought to nothing, but this is not the end of the story, for the one we call the Antichrist arises to power from this defeat of the queen of Babylon.

Again, I have a lot of pieces in my head and no deep understanding of them. Even as I write these words, I recognize that people have been excitedly waiting for me to teach on Revelation, and yet I have to disappoint in that my insight into this final book of the Bible is shallow at best. My friend told me when I was just 25 years old, "Don't go swimming in knee-deep water. Don't teach out of your depth." I have tried my best to keep those words in mind over these last nearly 25 years.

I do want to draw your attention again to the imagery of Babylon being cast down like a heavy stone into the sea. It is the same imagery that Jeremiah used in his writing. I hope that as we draw this year to a close you can see just how interconnected the Scriptures truly are.
