Revelation 19 - Introduction

Christ and the Fall of Babylon. Chapter s 17-19 (1 John 2:17)

This is the sixth parallel section. The central idea is: "The world and everything in it that men desire is passing away." We once again return to the First Coming. Chapter 17 shows the nature and history of the prostitute; chapter 18 shows the inevitable, complete, irrevocable downfall and ruin of her; chapter 19 shows heaven celebrating God's victory over the prostitute.
