Mystery Babylon, Rev 17 - 10/24/2010

Summary

The sermon explores the identity of Mystery Babylon described in Revelation 17, arguing against common interpretations that associate it with the Roman Catholic Church or a future one-world church. The preacher asserts that Mystery Babylon represents apostate Judaism and that the beast she rides symbolizes the nation of Israel, which was destroyed in 70 AD and later restored in 1948. The message emphasizes the symbolic nature of Revelation's imagery and interprets biblical prophecy in light of historical events, particularly focusing on Israel's judgment and permanent cursing as depicted in the parable of the fig tree.
