Revelation 17 - 18

RevelationSteve Gregg
In this presentation, Steve Gregg delves into the symbolism of Babylon in Revelation 17-18. He notes that while some interpret the harlot in these chapters as the Roman Catholic Church or a coalition of apostate faiths, it is equally likely that the term refers to Jerusalem as a great city and a harlot who cheated on Yahweh. Gregg draws connections to Jeremiah 2:20 and Ezekiel 16:23 to support this interpretation. He also explores the difficult passage in verses 7-11 and cautions against relying too heavily on futurist interpretations that have yet to come to fruition.
