Revelation Chapter Eighteen
(Chapter 18 from Dr. Hyle's excellent book, Let's Study The Revelation)
Chapter 18 deals with the destruction of political Babylon. Remember that political Babylon is the union of nations of the earth under the Antichrist to march on Palestine. Also remember that religious Babylon, which is a union of the religions of the world, was destroyed in Chapter 17 by political Babylon.
Verses 1-3:
You will notice that Babylon had become the habitation of devils, and the hold of foul spirits and unclean things. Let shoe who say the world is going to get better and better read these verses. This world system is going to get more corrupt until the coming of our Lord.Verses 4-5:
Notice God’s command to His people to come out of Babylon. This means that we are to come out of the world and be separate. Also, we are to come out of churches that are worldly and teach false doctrines.Verses 9-10:
Politicians shall weep with the fall of political Babylon. They have invested their lives in politics and government, and now Babylon is destroyed.Businessmen shall weep over Babylon. Those who have wrapped their lives around business will find their business gone. Stores will close. Business will fail in this great hour.
Verses 17-19:
Commerce and travel shall fail.Verse 22:
Pleasure and amusement shall cease. In other words, Jesus will destroy the political unions of this world and establish a rule of righteousness. Let those beware who invest their lives in this world. A life invested in this world shall be wasted. A life invested in Jesus will some day rule this world.
