Babylon: The False Religious System
Revelation 17
21 August 2022
Babylon is pictured in John's vision as a prostitute seated on a great beast. The spiritual culture of the last days will be that of a one world church under Antichrist's power.
During the tribulation time, the world will be split into ten kingdoms with ten kings. The spiritual rule over the earth will be a one world religion, a false church. This false church is seen as a prostitute - unfaithful and obsessed with riches and pleasure. John calls this idolatrous church Babylon, and she will rule the earth until the ten kings to destroy her. Even in the disastrous times of the tribulation, God is in control, and will use the world's political power to destroy evil.
