Revelation 17-18 I Don't Know WHAT To Write About This

I don’t know what to write about this.  It’s certainly not Babylon in Iraq that is being addressed.  I don’t really believe it’s a to-become-wealthy-in-the-future city either. 

I believe this entity exists now.  It is worldwide.  It has amassed incredible wealth for itself, yet hoards that wealth rather than using it to help the poor as the Bible commands.  Yet most importantly, it has used its power to trick men into following it rather than following God.  It is guilty of persuading millions to believe something other than what the Bible says, and because of this, untold millions have ended up in hell rather than heaven for accepting what they thought was truth.

Father, I don’t know if I’ve understood You correctly or not.  I’ve always thought this was future, but what You tell me this morning indicates that it represents both the past and the present as well.  Please lift the veil from the spiritual eyes of those entrapped by this belief.  Allow them to come to You in Truth and in Light.

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
