Revelation 17-19

We are continuing to go through the book of Revelation together during worship. And, as with most weeks, there is some optional homework to help you dig in on your own. Here is this week's guide:

Read chapter 17

Why is Babylon considered the “prostitute”?

What are her sins?

Why would Revelation be concerned with Babylon?

For the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been mentioned, why will they be astonished?

Who is the beast who once was but now is not?

What will he do?

Read Chapter 18

What will happen to Babylon?

Babylon ruled in a particular time and place, could she be compared to other world powers throughout the ages? If so, what might this chapter say about their fate/end/future?

Read Chapter 19

Who praises the fall of Babylon?

Why would they rejoice?
