Podcasts about Revelation 17

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues our study in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. From chapters 6 through 16, we see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, open the seven seals. When the 7th seal was opened, then came 7 trumpets, which also are judgments. Then followed from the temple, 7 angels with the 7 bowls of the wrath of God which are the last ones.So now, we now come to chapter 17, where Dr. Mitchell explores the meaning of the woman sitting on the beast. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, Rev. 17.

Revelation 17:1-11

Why are you so amazed?

Samuel privately anoints Saul to be king and gives prophecies of significant events for that day. The first was to happen at Rachel's tomb, she being the mother of Benjamin and therefore likewise an ancestor of Saul; where he would be told to return home as the asses had been found and lest his absence cause anxiety. Next at the oak of Tabor he would be given 3 goats, bread and wine – an indication that on the basis of sacrifice he would be invited into fellowship with God. This is followed by a later encounter with a company of the prophets, who Samuel had founded. This occurs near the Philistine garrison close to Saul's home whence he would temporarily become as one of the prophets: indicating that God would support and bless the mighty undertaking laying before Saul. Later Saul was to meet Samuel at Gilgal, where he would be required to wait seven days until Samuel would come to offer sacrifices. Saul returns home and tells his uncle nothing of his anointing, nor coming sovereignty. The chapter concludes with Saul's humility and public anointing and the mixed reactions to this. Isaiah proclaims the need to expand Zion's tent for she, just like barren Hannah, would embrace a numerous offspring; who as a fulfilment of the promise to Abraham's faithful seed include all nations (Genesis 12:3; Romans 4 verses 13; Galatians 3 verses 7-9, 16, 26-29; 4 verses 21-31). Zion would be Yahweh's redeemed bride and through extension that of our Lord Jesus Christ. As the tumultuous and storm tossed waters of Noah – who as his name indicated brought rest to the earth – so Zion's precious and costly foundations were laid down by the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus, in whom the afflicted find rest (Matthew 11verses 28-30). All her children are v13 “taught of God” and so v17 “no weapon formed can prevail against them”. This remains irrefutable for both natural and spiritual Israel. Our peace being foundered upon our Lord's resurrection and his assurance of our own (Isaiah 28:16; John 6 verses 27-69 – note especially v45 where v13 of Isaiah 5Revelation chapters 17-20 are described in “Apocalypse Epitomised” by H. P. Mansfield as, “The Judgment of the Great Whore and the Triumph of the Lamb”. In chapters 17-18 we read of the destruction of Rome (Babylon the Great). In chapter 17 the Roman Church is described as a great prostitute, who has shed the blood of masses of the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ over centuries. It is presented as riding and controlling a brutish beast. The harlot sits on many waters – ie exercises dominion over many nations see also verse 15; eg in Columbia one can read many signs such as, “young man if you want power, become a priest”. The wine which Rome has used to befuddle the minds of those nations is Rome's teachings (compare Jeremiah 51:7-8). Verse 5 says that on her head was a “mysterious”, or ‘secret', name. The Catholic system is surrounded by secrets – there is within the Catholic catechism's 7 blessed mysteries – starting with the mystery of the Trinity, a fundamental denial of the truth that Jesus came in the flesh. Rome had slain many martyrs (witnesses) of Jesus. “Foxes book of Martyrs” outlines many of these. The sight of the Great Whore brought astonishment to John. The Whore's location is said to be a seven hilled city – Rome – verse 9 (these literal hills were emblematic of the 7 forms of government Rome has had). Verse 18 in addition tells us that at the time Revelation was written – 96 AD – that the city had dominion over the then known world; and that alone was Rome. Chapter 18 tells of the moral pollutions practised by Rome and the destruction that will be brought upon it. The words of verse 2 are an echo of what was said when the first Babylon fell. Verses 2-3 express Yahweh's detestation of the vileness of Rome. Verse 4 is an appeal to God's people to have nothing to do with Rome's behaviours, so as to not share in her calamities. Martin Luther was a devout Church priest until he went to Rome and saw the perversions practised by all levels of the Church, and especially by the pontiff of that era. The Sovereign Lord will repay Rome's evils doubly. The Roman Church describes herself as, “the Mother and Mistress of all Churches”; she sits as a queen, but the Almighty will make her a poverty stricken widow. All will forsake her and rejoice in her destruction. Verses 11-14 give an inventory of these soul merchants (note verse 13 lists among her cargoes, “the souls of men”). Those who have traded with her will be anything but exultant at Rome's fall – there will be weeping and wailing. Rome's overthrow is likened to a great angel casting a millstone into the sea. The blood of the martyrs will finally be avenged.

29/06/25 | James Lee | Revelation 17 & 18 by City Church Bristol

What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundation? In this soul-searching episode, Jesse Cope challenges listeners to examine their daily priorities and whether they truly align with their professed faith."Have you made time for God today? Have you made time for Jesus Christ? Have you made time for your spouse?" These aren't just rhetorical questions, but a mirror held up to our collective conscience. As Christians, we claim God is our top priority, yet our schedules often tell a different story. Cope thoughtfully explores how prayer shouldn't be a checkbox item but an ongoing conversation throughout our day—whether we're working a fence line, teaching in a classroom, or serving in the military.The discussion on marriage strikes a particularly resonant chord. Using the powerful analogy of a bank account, Cope points out that we would naturally pay more attention to an account with $50 million than one with mere pocket change. Shouldn't we then invest more attention in our marriages with each passing year, not less? He challenges the notion that the "honeymoon period" should end, arguing instead that the same level of attentiveness should characterize the entire relationship.Diving into historical wisdom, Cope examines why our founders deliberately established a republic rather than a democracy. With quotes from James Madison, John Adams, and Fisher Ames (who wrote the First Amendment's Establishment Clause), he demonstrates how pure democracy inevitably leads to mob rule and self-destruction. These warnings seem eerily prophetic when considering today's social unrest and political turbulence.The episode culminates with a fascinating look at the "committees of correspondence" established before the American Revolution—networks that enabled colonies to coordinate their response to British tyranny. Cope makes a compelling case that Christians and conservatives need similar networks today to effectively stand against cultural and governmental overreach. When faithful communities work in concert rather than isolation, their impact is exponentially greater.Share this episode with someone who needs a spiritual wake-up call, and join us in reclaiming America's soul through the timeless values that once made our nation great.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Revelation 17:1-18   Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of sexual immorality, and those who live on the earth became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls, holding in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her sexual immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and will come. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 The beast which was, and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.” 15 And he *said to me, “The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes, and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled. 18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”     BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

In this episode, Pastor Mark Groen unpacks Revelation 17, where we see a vivid vision of Jerusalem's fall—not just as a city, but as a people who placed their trust in outward appearance instead of true faithfulness. The message confronts the dangers of compromise, reveals God's sovereign hand even in judgment, and centers our hope on the victory of Christ, the Lamb who conquers.Main Points:The Seduction of CompromiseGod's Sovereignty Over JudgmentThe Security of Those Who Belong to ChristWe are a Confessional Presbyterian and Reformed church proclaiming Christ through faithful, biblical preaching.

Title: The World System? Preacher: Mark Dever Series: What Will Finally Happen? Passage: Revelation 17:1-18

Message from Joe Lechner on May 4, 2025

We are meant for relationship with Jesus, not with a seductress who's trying to draw us away and is doomed for judgment.

In Revelation 17 we learn that God's purposes supersede Satan's plans.

20 Proverbs 30-31; 38 Zechariah 9-14; 39 Malachi 1-4; 19 Psalms 145-150; 66 Revelation 17-22

In Revelation 17:1-18 Pastor Grasso explains the significance of Babylon, the great harlot, who rides on the beast. Babylon stands for the religious arm that persecutes the people of God in connection with the state. Surprisingly, in the end the beast will cast off this alliance and claim all power for itself in the person of the antichrist. Evil always ends up fighting against itself, and this will be true in the end as well.

In Revelation 17–19:10, we witness the stunning collapse of Babylon—the archetype of rebellious world systems—and the rise of the radiant Bride of Christ. Babylon seduces with wealth, power, and pleasure, but her end is certain. God calls His people to see the signs and run for higher ground. This is a warning not only about future judgment but about our present allegiances. Will we cozy up to a doomed Babylon, or will we align ourselves with the King who conquers?Key Themes:· The Collapse of Babylon: Babylon represents the global system of pride, corruption, and self-exaltation. Her seduction is powerful—but her judgment is swift and total. (Revelation 17:1–6; 18:1–3)· God's Call to Run: God's people are warned to “come out of her” before it's too late. This is a call to radical separation, not passive disengagement. (Revelation 18:4–5)· The Seduction of the World: Babylon preys on the longings in our hearts—comfort, control, wealth, sensuality, power. But her cup is filled with iniquity. (Revelation 17:4–6; James 4:1–4)· The Judgment of Evil: In a single hour, Babylon's world order collapses. Kings, merchants, and seafarers mourn—not over righteousness, but over lost profits. (Revelation 18:9–20)· Heaven Rejoices in Justice: As Babylon falls, heaven erupts in praise. God's judgment is just, and His victory is final. (Revelation 19:1–5)· The Bride is Ready: In contrast to the great prostitute named Babylon, the Bride of Christ is clothed in purity and made ready for union with the Lamb. (Revelation 19:6–8)Reflection:The downfall of Babylon confronts us with a choice: Will we follow the way of pride, pleasure, and profit—or will we prepare ourselves as the faithful Bride? The wave of judgment is coming. Now is the time to recognize Babylon's voice, resist her pull, and run to high ground: Christ, the conquering King.Key Texts:·Revelation 17–19:10·Genesis 11 (Tower of Babel)·James 4:1–4·1 John 2:15–17·John 10:27 (My sheep hear My voice)·Revelation 18:4 (“Come out of her, My people”)Support Our Mission:Your generosity helps us proclaim Christ as King and equip disciples to make disciples.https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/givingVisit Our Website:www.alloflife.church#Revelation17 #ComeOutOfHer #BabylonFalls #BrideOfChrist #ChristIsKing #EndureInFaith

In Revelation 17:1-18 Pastor Grasso explains the significance of the beast on which Babylon rides. The beast and Babylon have an alliance in the fight against the people of God, which will be abandoned in the end. With the description of the beast in Revelation 17, we are introduced to the concept of a final antichrist who will arise to make war on the saints before the last day.

Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the New Testament book of Revelation, Chapter Seventeen.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.15 And the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns [which are kings] that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.” After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,“Come out of her, my people,     lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,     and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,     and repay her double for her deeds;     mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,     so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says,     ‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow,     and mourning I shall never see.' 9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.14 “The fruit for which your soul longed     has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors     are lost to you,     never to be found again!”15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand
