"Stay in The Truth" from Revelation 17:1-8

The Woman's BibleWhat are the lessons in this chapter?
We need to be careful as the enemy will introduce popular religion that can entice so many members.

We need to have the spiritual discernment of what is the right teaching and wrong. And study God's word.
Have the devotion.

Jeremiah 31:31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD's hand;
she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
therefore they have now gone mad.
  • Beast - Anti-Christ
  • Dragon - Satan
  • Horn - strength (old testament)
  • Tower of Babel - tower of confusion
  • Purple - ruler

People are deceived these days they believe that if the church have many members then that is the right church or religion.
A lot of religion today don't believe that Jesus is God that became flesh.

We must be sincere in the truth.

Babylon - the city of rebellion. Spiritual aduletry they worship Baal.


When John wrote the book of Revelation the churchs were under persecution.

We need to remain and stay in the vine. Remain in God's teachings. Revelation 12:11
We can over come the power of Satan if we remain in the Lamb.
Revelation 17:7-8 When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
The beast and the dragon are working together. The Beast will come out of the pit - It symbolizes the persistence of the Devil.

Revelation 13:11-12 11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

Satan will die in the end
Revelation 20:10 10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Always remember what Jesus said "Enter to the narrow gate".
Matthew 7:13-14 13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

If we have God we are the majority even if the church members are few.

Pastor's Message
Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
This is the conclusion of Jesus after teaching His disciples: whoever hears His WORD must put them into practice. I remember of what James said: Do not just merely listens to his word and so deceive yourself. Do what it says! Therefore, As a disciple of Christ we need to live out His word.

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
