Revelation 17 Explained: The Rise of the Antichrist's World Religion

B12L4 What is Mystery Babylon, and how does a one-world religion rise to power in the end times? Revelation 17 holds the answer — and it's more relevant today than ever. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Revelation 17, we examine the great harlot — a worldwide religious system of staggering wealth and political power — that will dominate the earth during the Tribulation. From the woman arrayed in purple and scarlet to the golden cup full of abominations, every detail points to a satanically inspired global religion that rides on the back of the Antichrist's empire. We also trace its roots all the way back to the Tower of Babel, where all pagan idolatry began, and follow Paul's confrontation with idol worship in Acts 19 at Ephesus. 📖 Key Topics Covered: • What does "Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots" mean? (Rev. 17:5) • The woman's wealth, purple and scarlet, and the golden cup of abominations (Rev. 17:4) • How the Antichrist uses and then destroys the world religious system (Rev. 17:16) • The Tower of Babel as the origin of all pagan religion (Genesis 11) • Paul vs. the silversmiths of Diana in Ephesus — Acts 19:23 • The seven heads, seven mountains, and ten kings of Revelation 17:9–12 • The Antichrist setting himself up as God — 2 Thessalonians 2:4 • Daniel 9:27 — the covenant, the temple, and the midpoint of the Tribulation 🔑 Revelation 17 Mystery Babylon explained, one world religion end times Bible, false prophet Antichrist Tribulation, Tower of Babel origin of religion, Daniel 9:27 Antichrist temple, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 man of sin, ten kings ten horns Revelation, great harlot Bible study verse by verse. 💡 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
