Revelation 17:1-6 "The Seduction of the World"

Chapter 16 shows the bowl judgments upon unbelieving mankind and against the kingdoms and authority structures controlled by Satan. Chapter 17 takes a closer look at this judgment, particularly the judgment of the city of man, here in called Babylon the harlot, the mother of harlots. Christians are called to come out of that city and not to be stained by it. Christians are called to stay awake and not to be caught unawares.
