Last week, we backed away from the judgment of God to take a look at what He will be judging. In Revelation 17, we saw the spiritual nature of Anti-Christ’s kingdom. The false religion of Anti-Christ will be judged, and it will be judged quickly by our righteous God.

Today, in Chapter 18, we will focus on the material aspects of Anti-Christ’s kingdom. False religion produces sinful behavior. Sinful behavior produces a world system that opposes God. In Isaiah 42:8 we see this: ”I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. Those who will follow Anti-Christ will idolize commerce and the goods that it provides.

Our message title is “The Fall of Babylon,” and it comes from Revelation 18:1-24.

Our points will be:

Condemnation
Separation
Lamentation
Celebration

Diving Deeper. After listening to today's message, consider asking yourself the following questions:

What is condemnation?
Should the church be ready to condemn sin? Explain.
Why should the church separate itself from the world? What should this look like?
Does the 21st-century church lament the lack of godliness in the church? Explain.
Can we celebrate the destruction of sinfulness and still have compassion for the lost? Explain.
