THE DESTINY OF BABYLON

“AND ONE OF THE SEVEN ANGELS WHO HAD THE SEVEN BOWLS CAME AND SPOKEWITH ME, SAYING, ‘COME HERE, I SHALL SHOW YOU THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT HARLOT WHO SITS ON MANY WATERS, WITH WHOM THE KINGS OF THE EARTH COMMITTED ACTS OF IMMORALITY, AND THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH WERE MADE DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER IMMORALITY.’ AND HE CARRIED ME AWAY INTHE SPIRIT INTO A WILDERNESS; AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A SCARLET BEAST, FULL OF BLASPHEMOUS NAMES, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS. AND THE WOMAN WAS CLOTHED IN PURPLE AND SCARLET, AND ADORNED WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS, HAVING IN HER HAND A GOLD CUPFULL OF ABOMINATIONS AND OF THE UNCLEAN THINGS OF HER IMMORALITY, AND UPON HER FOREHEAD A NAME WAS WRITTEN, A MYSTERY, ‘BABYLON THEGREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.’” (REV. 17:1‑5)

IMPORTANT FACTS REGARDING THE ANTICHRIST

REVELATION 17:3‑11

REVELATION 17:3

“AND HE CARRIED ME AWAY IN THE SPIRIT INTO A WILDERNESS; AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A SCARLET BEAST, FULL OF BLASPHEMOUS NAMES, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS.”

ACCORDING TO DANIEL 7 THE BEAST WITH TEN HORNS IS THE___________________________________. (See Section 1 Page 13)

REVELATION 17:7

“AND THE ANGEL SAID TO ME, ‘WHY DO YOU WONDER? I SHALL TELL YOU THE MYSTERY OF THE WOMAN AND OF THE BEAST THAT CARRIES HER, WHICH HAS THE SEVEN HEADS AND THE TEN HORNS.’”

THE EXPRESSION “THE BEAST” IS USED SOMETIMES OF THE ROMAN

EMPIRE (REV. 13:1) AND SOMETIMES OF THE ANTICHRIST WHO IS ALSO

ONE OF THE SEVEN HEADS (REV 13:3):

“AND I SAW ONE OF HIS HEADS AS IF IT HAD BEEN SLAIN, AND HIS FATAL WOUND WAS HEALED. AND THE WHOLE EARTH WAS AMAZED AND FOLLOWED AFTER THE BEAST;”

ROMAN EMPIRE

REVELATION 17:8

“THE BEAST THAT YOU SAW WAS AND IS NOT, AND IS ABOUT TO COME UP OUT OF THE ABYSS AND TO GO TO DESTRUCTION. AND THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTHWILL WONDER, WHOSE NAME HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROMTHE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, WHEN THEY SEE THE BEAST, THAT HE WAS AND IS NOT AND WILL COME”.

THE BEAST OF REVELATION 17:8 IS THE ________________________.

AT THE TIME OF REVELATION 17, WHICH IS JUST PRIOR TO THE

DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE FINAL SEVEN

YEARS, THE ANTICHRIST “WAS, IS NOT, AND IS ABOUT TO COME UP

OUT OF THE ABYSS” (REV. 17:8).


“HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM. THE SEVEN HEADS ARE SEVEN MOUNTAINS ON WHICH THE WOMAN SITS, AND THEY ARE SEVEN KINGS; FIVE HAVE FALLEN, ONE IS, THE OTHER HAS NOT YET COME; AND WHEN HE COMES, HE MUST REMAIN A LITTLE WHILE“.

IMPORTANT FACTS REGARDING THE ANTICHRIST (CONT)

ANTICHRIST

7

THUS AT THE TIME OF REVELATION 17:1‑6, ACCORDING TO REV 17:9‑10:

“THE SEVEN HEADS … ARE SEVEN KINGS:

FIVE THE OTHER HAS NOT YET COME; HAVE ONE AND WHEN HE COMES, HE MUST

FALLEN IS REMAIN A LITTLE WHILE

1-5 6 7 8

3 ½ YEARS 3 ½ YEARS

AND THE AND IS ALSO HIMSELF AND HE BEAST IS AN EIGHTH AND IS GOES TO

WHICH WAS NOT ONE OF THE SEVEN DESTRUCTION”

IN OTHER WORDS, THE ANTICHRIST WAS ONE OF THE FIRST FIVEKINGS (REV. 17:11) WHO WAS SLAIN (REV. 13:3) AND RETURNSAS THE EIGHTH KING (REV. 17:11).

AND HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT OF OLD, WHO IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN, AND BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, AND THREW HIM INTO THE ABYSS, AND SHUT IT AND SEALED IT OVER HIM, SO THAT HE SHOULD NOT DECEIVE THE NATIONS ANY LONGER, UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEAR WERE COMPLETED; AFTER THESE THINGS HE MUST BE RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME. AND I SAW THRONES, AND THEY SAT UPON THEM, AND JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN TO THEM. AND I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN BEHEADED BECAUSE OF THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS AND BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD, AND THOSE WHO HAD NOT WORSHIPED THE BEAST OR HIS IMAGE, AND HAD NOT RECEIVED THE MARK UPON THEIR FOREHEAD AND UPON THEIR HAND; AND THEY CAME TO LIFE AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME TO LIFE UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE COMPLETED. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION." (REV. 20:1‑5)

ISRAEL WAS TO LET THE LAND LIE FALLOW EVERY _____ YEARS

(LEV 25: 2-4). THIS WAS CALLED A SABBATICAL YEAR. THEN, AFTER

EVERY _____ YEARS ( 7 X 7 ), THE 50TH YEAR WAS TO BE A YEAR

OF JUBILEE.

IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE, ALL REAL ESTATE REVERTED TO ITS

ORIGINAL OWNERS, DEBTS WERE FORGIVEN AND JEWS WHO

HAD BEEN ENSLAVED FOR DEBT WERE _______________(LEV 25: 8-17).

THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY LASTED FOR 70 YEARS BECAUSE

ISRAEL HAD NOT OBSERVED A SABBATICAL YEAR FOR 490 YEARS

THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE FIRST 483 YEARS AND THE FINAL

SEVEN YEARS WHICH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES THE SECOND COMING.)

AFTER A 490 YEAR PERIOD ONE WOULD EXPECT A 10 YEAR

JUBILEE, BUT THE JUBILEE OF JUBILEES WILL NOT BE A 10 YEAR

AND ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER WAS THE TREE OF LIFE, BEARING TWELVE KINDS OF FRUIT, YIELDING ITS FRUIT EVERY MONTH; AND THE LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.
