Babylon the Great in Chapter 18 is a symbol for both a system and a city. It is symbolic of the political, economic, and financial system of the Antichrist's empire the will be seated in a capital city ("that great city"). Babylon is filled with sin and will ultimately be judged by God. Her judgment is likened unto a stone being cast into the sea and sinking never to be seen again.

Final Words

Bottom line: Jesus' final words are His promise to fulfill our most hope-filled prayer. His final words - Surely, I come quickly. Our hope-filled prayer is that of John - Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:6-21 gives us a series of last sayings: the final words of Jesus in Revelation, the final invitations in Revelation, and the final warning in Revelation.

Hope For Something New
November 15, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson
Bottom line: How we experience life in the present is determined by our hope for the future based on our faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are hope shaped creatures. What we hope for in the future makes all the difference in the NOW! Our NOW experience is controlled by our belief about the future. Our hope is that one day we will live with God in a new heaven and new earth. Knowing this is our future we can make it through any trouble and adversity in our present.
