section 16. This is the place where we see the satisfaction of those predictions. In this section,
we will observer the fall of the incredible overall church that will thrive after the
joy of the congregation. Thsi framework is now grinding away even today. All around the
world, there is an extraordinary move in progress to bring all strict gatherings under one focal
umbrella. We are seeing the incredible falling away which the Bible says will come
about somewhat recently. (2Thes. 2:3; 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-3; 2 Tim. 4:3-4). It has
as of now arrived at where Bible trusting Christians, individuals who take the Bible
in a real sense and who attempt to carry on with a sacred life for the Lord, are under expanding assault. The
best way to succeed, according to the world, is to adjust and be lenient toward other's
convictions and sentiments. I accept that everything Christians can venerate together. However, when
individuals go thinking about something irrelevant and start to revere and fiddle with regions that are
illegal, then, at that point that is the place where we should take a stand! We should take a gander at this amazing
part and check whether we can recognize what's going on here.
I. v.1-6 THE BABYLONIAN MOTHER
A. v.1, 15 Her Popularity - World-wide impact. This strict framework will
have the ear of the world! (Sick. Influence and riches.) When you reject reality, you
will be sucked into by obviously false. (Sick. Searcher holy places.)

(Sick. She will utilize her charms to misdirect the world into speculation she is the correct way.)

be settled in Rome, v.9. She will be protected by the ten country
alliance of the restored Roman Empire. (Sick. The congregation will by and by marry
the state - Ill. Constantine 325 AD. (Sick. Christianity started to change -
Christmas, Lent, Baptism, Relic Worship, Saint Worship, Popery, and so on) (Ill. Is it the
Catholic Church? NO!! Catholicism will most likely be included, however so will
Methodism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, the Islamic confidence, Buddhism and even
the Baptists.) (That said, the association between the set of experiences and practice of Roman
Catholicism and the depiction of this strict framework can't be gently passed
by!)
D. v.4 Her Prosperity - (Ill. Articles of clothing, Wealth and Ritual! The features of

to be. (Sick. v. 18 - She is a city, and a framework!)
F. v.6 Her Persecutions - Ill. his framework is answerable for the passings of the holy people
of the Lord. From Cain and Abel to the Tribulation holy people, this strict framework
has been answerable for the affliction of 10's of millions on Christians. (Sick. It is
not this evening, nor has it at any point been the division that decides an individual's, it is
the Blood of Jesus that has the effect!
II. v.7-13 THE BABYLONIAN MONSTER
A. v.8. 10-11 The Identity Of The Beast - (Ill. It is the Anti-Christ) Ill. His ascent

of that of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Sick. The Emporeors of refrain 10, and the
Antichrist is both the seventh and the eighth.
B. v.12-13 The Identification Of The Horns - The 10 country confederancy of the
resuscitated Roman Empire. (Sick. The EEC!)
III. v.14-18 THE BABYLONIAN MASSACRE

Himself. (Sick. Alludes to part 19). At the point when they assault Jesus, they make certain to
lose! (Ill. Ruler of Kings!) (Ill. Those with Him - Called, picked and reliable - That
my companions is you and me!)
B. v.16 They Burn The Whore - Ill. Coordinated religion will be totally annihilated!
At the point when their religion has filled it's need and offers them nothing else, then, at that point
they will turn on the congregation will absolutely obliterate her! (Sick. Sounds like a many individuals
in our day - God is an incredible large sparetire!)They will strip her of her abundance,
annihilate and deform her places of love and coordinated religion will
stop to exist on the earth! (Sick. Coordinated religion is a shame in any case!)
C. v.17 They Bend Before God - As they do their deeds, they are ignorant
that God Himself is utilizing them for His magnificence and to complete His arrangements and
purposes! Amidst tumult, it is great to realize that God is as yet in charge!
Conc: Have you got Jesus this evening? Are you an individual from the congregation or a piece of the
body? That is one inquiry you would do well to get right. In the event that you miss that one, you have
missed everything! On the off chance that you need the Lord this evening, kindly come to Him and permit
Him to accomplish a work in your heart and life.
