Hi Pastor John,
This weekend’s Revelation study was wonderful! It is astonishing what the Lord is revealing through the study. For me, it puts a whole new light on who the harlot (Babylon) is that is being talked about in Revelation 17. I have always pictured it as something the world was doing, separate from God’s real people, not realizing whose fault it really is.
We, God’s people, have always been the reason for the shape that the world is in; no matter what we think, the choices we made in following the ways of God determined how God treated us and everyone around us. Now, granted, that does not mean that the world would like it and treat us any better if we had always done right, but if God’s people did what was right, at least we would not give the world a reason not to trust God, and we would not be so divided. Oh, I wish all of God’s people could hear and be a part of the study of Revelation that God has given and is revealing through you, John. It has changed my whole way of thinking about who we are. Thank you
Stuart
