Revelation of Jesus 52, Cosmic Conflict 12

All the messages of the three angels “to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6) are based on the foundation of “the everlasting gospel” (Revelation 14:6). Each message, however, has a specific purpose. The message of the second angel’s “Babylon is fallen, is fallen that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication” (Revelation 14:8) seems to be cryptic and of no obvious relevance to our modern society. After all, the ancient city of Babylon has been an uninhabited ruin for thousands of years.

Babylon, as a concept of the power at enmity with God, reappears in the New Testament. The fact that apostle Peter calls 1st-century Rome “Babylon” tells us that we should not expect end-time Babylon to arise in its former geographical location, which is now Iraq. What we can expect are the core elements of ancient Babylon, and that means more than just powerful military might.

The purpose of this study is to understand what modern Babylon is so that we reject the “the wine of the wrath of her fornication” that she is offering.

But even more important than rejecting Babylon is to come to know Jesus and become His followers, letting the Holy Spirit open our hearts and guide our steps.
