We’re developing our study of Revelation right now, and today we take a closer look at chapter seventeen. A parenthetical chapter that speaks of a worldwide religion. But as we’ll learn today it also has something important to say about 7 kingdoms or world powers! Referred to as mountains. Pastor Matt will help us make sense of it all as we focus in on verses nine through eighteen.

We’re in Revelation right now, going line by line through each chapter and verse, at a rather slow pace so as to glean as much as possible from it. Spiritual deception is occurring at an alarming rate, and it will be at an all-time high during the Great Tribulation. So how can we best defend against it, so we don’t buy the lie? We’ll find out. Our study is framed around Revelation chapter seventeen.

Today on His Perfect Love we’ll pause to consider a growing trend in the digital world. If we’re not careful we can easily become consumed with it to the point that it becomes idolatry!

Our pastor and teacher Matt VanderVen is taking us through Revelation one verse at a time, and our plan is to finish up chapter seventeen this week. We hear it in the ecumenical movement of our day… all roads lead to God. And during the Tribulation that will only intensify, when there will be a one world religion that resembles humanism and relativism. Pastor Matt points out today how the antichrist will use it for a time to lead people away from Christ, but then do a 180.

A one-world religion, described as the great harlot, will be a part of the end-times. But it will be a false religion under the authority of the antichrist and false prophet. As you’ll hear, things seem to be heading in this direction right now, setting the stage for what’s to come.

If I was to ask you to call out by name all of the different religions of the world, I’m sure you’d be hard pressed to think of even a fraction of them. That’s because there are thousands! But as we’ll learn today on His Perfect Love Christianity stands apart from all the rest, and actually there will be an end to false religion! That’s predicted in Revelation seventeen, and that’s where we’re headed on His Perfect Love. Here’s pastor Matt VanderVen to tell us about mystery Babylon, a false religion that will dominate the world at that time.

There are quite a number of religions in the world today. Statistics tell us that Islam is growing in great numbers. Buddhism is very popular too. Actually there are only two belief systems in this world – belief in Jesus, or belief in a false religion. As we study Revelation seventeen today, keep that in mind, because as we see the judgment of Mystery Babylon, we notice the results of mankind's decision to follow and worship the antichrist instead of Jesus Christ.

Last time we were together we learned about a massive earthquake that will occur during God’s final judgement. But today we’ll see that is followed up with hail from heaven, the size of 75-120 pounds. Imagine that! Hail is often used by God as a tool of judgement, and we certainly see that in this Great Tribulation.

There have been some massive earthquakes over the years. The largest one recorded was the Great Chilean Earthquake back in May of 1960. Magnitude 9.5! But none come close to the one predicted to happen at the end of the Great Tribulation. We’ll tell you about it today on His Perfect Love as we enter a section of Revelation chapter sixteen that describes God’s final judgement when He shakes the earth!

In Revelation chapter sixteen we’re told of a great battle lead by the antichrist against Jesus and His return. We’ll read about some armies from the east that will be involved! Who could this be, and who wins? We’ll look into these questions and more today on His Perfect Love.
