Ending God’s Enemy (Revelation 20:11–21:8) There is no free pass for our sins; not for sinners; not for believers. We will be judged by the Righteous One. If Jesus says he is life, If Jesus says we worship a living God, Does God use death as a tool or an instrument?

Destroying Evil’s Deception (Revelation 20:1–10). The faithful who endured clinging to Christ even to death now judge the very forces that deceived and destroyed. Although Satan again rouses people to oppose God’s people, they can’t touch the people he loves. God destroys the destroyers.

Babylon’s Final Doom (Revelation 18:9–24). The rulers of the earth bet everything on power and wealth. Whereas the traders weep over the demise of bloody commerce, God’s people rejoice over the end of injustice. The sinful city is doomed to never again know the blessings of God. (see James 1:17)

Seductive Whore Veneration (Revelation 18:1–8). The great bustling City that oppresses God’s people and despises Christ will one day be a vacant ruin. We are warned not to be seduced by this sexy seller. Come out of her. Don’t give your heart to her.
