Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Revelation 17 One of the seven angels shows John the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters. She symbolizes a powerful and corrupt system that has influenced kings and led people into spiritual immorality. She is dressed in purple and scarlet, decorated with gold, and holds a cup filled with abominations. She is Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots. She is drunk with the blood of the saints. John is amazed, and the angel explains that the beast she rides has seven heads and ten horns. These represent kingdoms and rulers who will turn on and destroy her. God uses their actions to fulfill His purpose. In the end, all who wage war against the Lamb will be defeated, and all who are faithful to Him will overcome. Worldly power often appears strong, beautiful, and tempting, but its true nature is corrupt and opposed to God. Rome and other nations since then have been clothed in wealth and influence, leading nations into spiritual unfaithfulness. Although many are drawn to its promises, it is full of pride and violence, even against God's people. The beast and the kings who support her eventually turn against her, revealing how unstable and self-destructive evil truly is. God remains in control, working through even rebellious powers to fulfill His purpose. As followers of Christ, we must not be deceived by outward appearances. Our loyalty belongs to the Lamb, who will triumph. Faithfulness, purity, and devotion to Him will ultimately lead us to victory. Heavenly Father, You are holy, just, and sovereign over all the powers of the world. We see how easily people are drawn to wealth, status, and influence, yet You reveal the true nature of evil behind these things. Help us to see clearly and not be deceived by what appears powerful or beautiful. Keep our hearts loyal to the Lamb and protect us from compromise. Strengthen us to remain faithful in a world that often opposes Your truth. Use even the brokenness of this world to fulfill Your purpose. We trust in Your victory and desire to walk in Your holiness. Thought Questions: Rome was alluring to many for its immorality and materialism. Does the culture you live in try to draw you in, and how do you resist? God turned one evil power upon another. How can this help you trust in God's sovereignty even when all governments seem corrupt? Why was the Lamb able to overcome all who stood against Him? How is your daily life shaped by His absolute victory and incredible power?

Seven angels have poured out seven bowls of wrath, and today, one of them approaches John and carries him away in the Spirit to a wilderness. There, he sees a woman sitting on a scarlet beast. The woman is clothed in lavish and expensive attire, but holds a cup with every detestable thing. Moreover, she is drunk on the blood of the saints and the witnesses of Jesus. “Babylon the Great” is written on her forehead. The angel then explains the beast and its seven heads, stating that they represent seven mountains and seven kings. The beast itself represents an eighth king. It's ten horns also represent ten kings which reign briefly, give their power and authority to the beast, and who unsuccessfully wage war with the Lamb. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

A verse-by-verse study through the Book of Revelation
Seven Woes
Revelation Series: These chapters emphasize that Babylon—both a worldly system and an influential city—represents humanity's attempt to thrive apart from God through immorality, wealth, and self-exaltation. Though this system seems powerful and long-standing, it is ultimately driven by evil, used by the Antichrist, and even betrayed by those who once benefited from it. Yet God remains sovereign over every part of the story, bringing sudden and total judgment on Babylon for its corruption, injustice, and exploitation. While the world mourns the loss of its wealth and comfort, heaven rejoices because God has defended His people and brought an end to the system that opposed Him. The message calls God's people to stay separate from the world's sin, trust that evil will not go unpunished, and remember that God's power far surpasses every earthly force.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Revelation.
This powerful exploration of Revelation 17 pulls back the curtain on one of Scripture's most sobering warnings: the seductive nature of worldly systems that draw us away from God. Through the vivid imagery of Babylon represented as a prostitute, we're confronted with an uncomfortable truth—the world doesn't tempt us with ugliness, but with beauty, prosperity, power, and pleasure. Just as a prostitute adorns herself in purple, scarlet, gold, and jewels, the godless systems of our age dress themselves in appeal and affluence. We discover that Babylon isn't just a future reality; it's a present danger. Every time our culture celebrates what God calls evil, every time we find ourselves intoxicated by the promise of one more achievement, one more possession, one more accolade, we're experiencing Babylon's influence. The message challenges us to recognize that behind the mask of worldly success lies destruction, betrayal, and death. Yet there's profound hope here: while Babylon over-promises and under-delivers, Christ always keeps His promises. While Babylon is temporary and will ultimately implode, Christ's kingdom endures forever. The call is clear—we must choose between two cities, two kingdoms, two ways of life. Will we worship the fleeting pleasures of this world, or will we turn our eyes upon Jesus and find true, lasting satisfaction in Him?
The religious, commercial, and financial dimensions of the Beast's empire are unraveling.
The Great Whore of Babylon is an intentionally derogatory metaphor used to describe people's attachment to empire. Revelation 17-18 are difficult to read, but communicate something important to all of our interaction with unjust political sysmtems. Namely, it asks, “If and when this empire comes crumbling own, with our faith crumble too, or is there something deeper rooting us?”
In Revelation 17, we encounter one of the Bible's most vivid and unsettling images — the great prostitute, Babylon the Great, riding the beast and seducing the nations. But beneath the imagery lies a timeless truth: the world's systems of pleasure, prosperity, and power still war against the Lamb today.In this message, Politics and Prostitutes: A Tale of Two Cities, Pastor Timothy unpacks the meaning of Babylon as more than an ancient empire — it's the spirit of the age, the City of Man, contrasted with the City of God. Through Scripture, history, and modern parallels, we're called to live as faithful exiles: in the world, for the city, but never of the world.
John sees a vision of a woman named Babylon, the ugly personification of evil and end times false religion. We can learn many important lessons of the nature of sin and our need to remain faithful to God.
