After the seven bowls of wrath, we get the fate of Babylon, the spiritual capitol of the first beast. This is the imperial city of the great world government that is arrayed against God and His people.

In the Olivet Discourse, the master entrusts three of his servants with his resources and then goes on a long journey.
