Marking Code: GC
Marking Color: Green
Key Text: Revelation 17:1-5
- Revelation
17:1-5. The impure woman
of Revelation 17 is the
opposite of the pure woman of
Revelation 12. The pure woman
represents God’s
faithful remnant church; the
impure woman represents a
false church. Satan’s
counterfeit of truth is
Babylon-a fit name for the
confusion of present-day
worldly churches.
Genesis 11: 9. Babel
(Babylon) originated in a confusion
of languages.
- Revelation
17:6, 9, 15-18. This
chapter identifies a large,
powerful, religious-political
system of false worship
ruling the world from Rome.
- Revelation
16: 13,19. Babylon is
made up of three
parts-paganism, Romanism, and
apostate Protestantism.
Revelation 14:8.
- Revelation
18:1-4. God invites
the honest in heart to leave
the fallen churches of the
world and unite themselves
with His faithful remnant
people in keeping His
commandments.
Revelation 14:12.
Revelation 12:17.
- John 10:27.
Christ’s true sheep
hear the call of the Good
Shepherd. His obedient people
will come out of Babylon-the
fallen churches-into the
faithful flock of the remnant
that keep God’s
commandments.
- Matthew
12:30. Just before the
end of the world, there will
be no neutral ground. One
must either stay in Babylon
and be destroyed (Revelation
18: 8, 21) or be a part of
God’s remnant church and
be saved for eternity.
(Revelation 14:4, 5; 15:
2,3).
- Genesis
19:15-26. It is important
for us to respond today and
be obedient to God as it was
for Lot to flee from ancient
Sodom.
GC-End.
