10-25-20 Revelation chap 17 and 18

Summary

The sermon explores Revelation chapters 17 and 18, focusing on the symbolic characters of the beast, the harlot, and Babylon. The preacher interprets Babylon as representing Jerusalem and the beast as Rome, emphasizing the spiritual unfaithfulness and persecution of saints. The timing of Revelation's writing is argued to be in the late 60s AD, before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, based on internal biblical evidence and historical context. The message encourages faithfulness amidst spiritual warfare and persecution, drawing parallels between first-century events and ongoing spiritual battles.
