Episode 81: "Reverted, Kept or Not" In this episode, we delve into the powerful contrasts between judgment and redemption as we explore Revelation 18 and Luke 15. Revelation 18 describes the fall of Babylon, symbolizing the ultimate judgment on a corrupt and unrepentant world. But what does this mean for us today? Are we reverting back to the ways of Babylon, or are we choosing the path of repentance and grace? We also take a deep dive into the parables of Luke 15—the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son. These stories reveal God’s relentless pursuit of those who have strayed, His joy in their repentance, and the incredible value He places on each individual soul. Join us as we discuss the stark choices we face: to be like the lost sheep found by the shepherd, or to remain in the doomed city of Babylon. Will we revert to old ways, keep what is good, or be left behind? This episode challenges us to reflect on our spiritual journey and the choices we make every day.
