Trumpet Intro
Revelation 16 - ProlegomenaThe only thing that man is worthy of
before God is judgment
Judgment is avoided only on the basis
of God’s grace
Grace available only through faith in
Jesus Christ, God’s Son
Jesus drank the wrath of God for us
Revelation 16:2The first bowl
Poured out on the earth
Loathsome and malignant sores
On those who had the mark and who
worshiped the beast’s image
Revelation 16:3The second bowl
Poured into the sea
Turned to blood
Every living thing in the sea died
The third bowl
Poured into the rivers and springs
Turned to blood
Revelation 16:8-9The fourth bowl
Poured out on the sun
The sun scorches men with fierce
heat
The men respond (Rev 6:15-17;9:20-21)
They blaspheme the name of God
They do not repent or glorify God
Revelation 16:10-11The fifth bowl
Poured on the throne of the beast
The beast’s kingdom became dark
They gnaw their tongues due to pain
The men respond
They blaspheme God and do not
repent of their deeds
Revelation 16:12The sixth bowl
Poured on the Euphrates River
The water dried up
So that the way is prepared for the
kings of the east
Revelation 16:12The sixth bowl

Euphrates River
Revelation 16:13-14From the mouth of:
The dragon (Satan)
The beast (Antichrist)
The false prophet
Unclean spirits like frogs
Spirits of demons
To gather for war for the day of God
Revelation 16:16They (the demons) gather the people
together at Har-Magedon
Hebrew “Har-Megadone” meaning
Mount Megiddo or perhaps Hill of
Megiddo
Revelation 16:17-18The seventh bowl
Poured out on the air
A loud voice from the temple
“It is done”
Lightning, thunder, greatest
earthquake
Babylon is remembered before God
Revelation 16:21Huge hailstones pummel the earth
100 pounds each
The men respond
They blaspheme God because of the
plague because of its extreme
severity
Revelation 17 and 18God deals with Babylon
Recall Babylon is used symbolically
Apostate Church & false religions
17 – Ecclesiastical or Spiritual entity
17:1-6 – the vision
17:7-18 – the interpretation
18 - Political entity
Revelation 17:1-2One of the seven angels
The judgment of the great harlot
Who sits on many waters (Rev 17:15)
With whom kings of the earth
committed immorality
Earth-dwellers are drunk on her
immorality
Revelation 17:1-2Who is the harlot?
Western Society?
Israel?
The Roman Catholic Church?
The Apostate Church and false
religious systems?
When is the harlot in power?
Revelation 17:1-2Immorality – a common Biblical symbol
People who claim the name of God,
yet worship or follow other gods
In the OT God (Yahweh) is Israel’s
husband (Isa 54:1-8; Jer 3:14; 31:32)
In the NT the Church is the virgin
bride of Christ (2Cor 11:2)

Revelation 17:3-6Carried in the spirit into the wilderness
A woman
Clothed in purple and scarlet
Adorned with gold and gemstones
A gold cup in her hand
Filled with abominations and
uncleanness of her immorality
Revelation 17:3-6A woman (continued)
On her forehead – a mystery
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH
Zech 5:5-11
Revelation 17:3-6A woman (continued)
Drunk
With the blood of the saints
With the blood the witnesses of
Jesus
John wonders greatly at the woman
Revelation 17:3A scarlet beast
Full of blasphemous names
Seven heads
Ten horns
Rev 13:1-2 - The beast from the sea
Revelation 17:7-8The angel tells him the mystery
The beast
Was, is not, is about to come out of
the abyss and go to destruction
The earth dwellers whose names are
not in the book of life will wonder
Revelation 17:9-10The seven heads = seven mountains =
seven kings
Five have fallen
One is
One is to come, will remain for a
little while
Revelation 17:9-10Are the heads the Gentile Empires?
Egypt
Assyria
Babylon
Medo-Persia
Greece
Roman Empire (time of John)
A Revived Roman Empire??
The Antichrist’s Kingdom
Revelation 17:11-13The beast
Which was and is not
Is an eighth, and one of the seven
He goes to destruction
The ten horns = ten kings
These receive power and authority
only to give it to the beast
Revelation 17:14These wage war against the Lamb
The Lamb will overcome them
The Lamb is Lord of lords
The Lamb is King of kings
Those with the Lamb
The Called, Chosen and Faithful
Revelation 17:15-16The water where the harlot sits
The peoples, multitudes, nations and
tongues
The ten horns of the beast hate the
harlot (Politics ultimately hate religion)
Make her desolate, naked, eat her
flesh and burn her with fire
Revelation 17:17-God put it in the kings hearts to execute
His purpose
God and these kings have a common
purpose
By giving their kingdoms to the beast
The woman is the great city
Which reigns over kings of the earth
