End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 22, Day 5: Revelation 17:15-18
The prostitute influences everyone.
The Antichrist works to destroy the prostitute when she no longer serves his purpose. Satan cannot tolerate others being worshiped, so he kills her. However, this is at God’s will.
The great city is Rome as they were the ruler of the world when John wrote this. However, Babylon represents the world system as a whole and Rome personifies Babylon.
Ultimately, in this day and age, the great city is in your heart, which is all you can control. Who do you worship?
