Session 133: Revelation 17
The Whore of Babylon: Scholars and religious leaders are divided today as to who it represents. During John’s time, is it the City of Rome? (v.18) Is it Jerusalem? (Representing Israel, who had a history of making disastrous political alliances with nations that would ultimately persecute it, including the Roman Empire!) Is it the Catholic Church? (See Session 1.)
The message for us today and in the future about the Whore is clear.....Don’t give yourself (sell out, whore yourself out) to any political, organizational, or idealogical system that is against the Church. The consequences are that you will be used and ultimately betrayed (see v.16 !) It’s like making friends with a heroin dealer.
We know what side will ultimately win! (See v.14 !)
