In Revelation 17, we witness the description of the spiritual power that has been flowing in and through nations and peoples since sin entered the world. But more importantly we are able to witness the dismantling of this system as well as its dwelling place.

In today’s sermon, Pastor Henry seeks to show the importance of Babylon throughout the biblical record, climaxing in Revelation 17 and 18. At issue is how are we to view these references? Are they purely symbolic? Do they connect to any specific time in the future history? Or are they to be taken as a literal, physical city? Finally, what is behind all of this that makes Babylon become such a central point in the book of Revelation?

God is closed up in His Temple. The Triune God, alone in His holiness, His righteousness and His wrath. The seven angels are ready to do His bidding. And in this chapter John chronicles the pouring out of each bowl in quick succession, all culminating with the seventh and greatest plague. Yet in this you see no only the holiness and wrath of God but also the sustaining grace of God for those in the midst of this time of wondrous horror. Let the reader and hearer understand.

Revelation 16 unveils the out-pouring of the wrath of God upon the world as it rebels against Him. It is a picture of terror and horror. And if we are honest, it is a hard picture to see and consider. In an effort to bring a proper perspective on this important chapter, Pastor Henry gives a pause and takes us through two key doctrines, sin and salvation with the goal to help us fear God’s wrath and delight in His salvation.
