Revelation 17:1-5

Introduction

One thing we notice in the book of Revelation, is that the Devil, Satan, that old Dragon, is a great imitator of God. He mocks, and sets up his own ways to mimic what God does. Notice the similarity of these two verses:

Rev. 17:1 ¶ And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Babylon's Fall - Political/Commercial #

Revelation 18:1-8

Introduction

Notice, that the Fall of Babylon is referenced back in Revelation 14:6-8. Let's go back and look at it. Clearly that is the timeline of events, and Revelation 17-18 are parenthetical statements, clarifying the details of the fall of Babylon. In Chapter 17, we noted the fall of the religious system of Babylon. It seems more of a system, than a physical, actual place. Notice in Revelation 18, the wording certainly lends itself more to a physical place, and location that would represent the center of political or commercial activity.
