This teaching confronts us with one of the most sobering choices in Scripture: will we be the faithful Bride of Christ or will we become Babylon, the unfaithful prostitute? Drawing from Revelation 17-19, we're presented with two starkly different destinies. The Bride represents those who remain devoted to Jesus, storing up treasures in heaven, living generously, and keeping their bodies and hearts consecrated to Him alone. Babylon, by contrast, symbolizes the compromised church—those who claim faith but whose hearts chase after worldly power, wealth, and validation. The imagery is shocking: Babylon rides the beast of political power, dressed in religious garb but drunk on adultery with the world's systems. Throughout biblical history, God's people have repeatedly played the harlot, seeking security in nations and idols rather than in their faithful God. The danger is especially acute for those of us in conservative Christianity, where the temptation to marry our faith to political power can be overwhelming. Yet the beast we ride will eventually turn and devour us. The call is clear: come out of Babylon before judgment falls. We must examine where our treasure truly lies—in this passing world or in the eternal kingdom. Our generosity, our time, our devotion, and our bodies all reveal whether we're truly betrothed to Christ or merely paying Him lip service while our hearts belong to something else.
