The Prophetic Vision of Babylon’s Fall
THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
The Judgment of the Great Whore
Chapter One
“And I Saw a Woman Sit Upon a Scarlet-Colored Beast”
The Unveiling of the Great Harlot and Her Reign Over the Kings of the Earth
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters…”
(Revelation 17:1)
In the Spirit, John is taken into a vision — not of a political empire or geographical city, but of a woman. She is mystical, spiritual, and seductive. Her beauty is deceptive, for she is decked in gold and purple, dazzling to the natural eye, but inwardly she is full of abominations. She is Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots — and she represents not the Bride of Christ, but the great religious counterfeit.
This woman rides a scarlet-colored beast — the powers and systems of this world. She is not persecuted by the beast; she is empowered by it. She holds in her hand a golden cup — not filled with the wine of the Spirit, but with the filthiness of her fornication. She is intoxicated with religion, saturated with false doctrines, and drunk with the blood of the saints — for she has resisted the true move of God in every generation.
She is not a distant threat — she is already seated. She has infiltrated pulpits, denominations, seminaries, and platforms. She preaches in the name of Jesus but denies the power of the Spirit. She quotes the Word but lacks the life. She celebrates tradition and form, but she hates the Spirit of Truth. This is the harlot church — a system, not a person — and she reigns through religious deception.
A Religious Spirit Masquerading as the Bride
Babylon is called a “woman” for a reason. She mimics the true Bride of Christ. She wears garments of royalty and adorns herself with outward signs of holiness, yet she is a harlot. She has no covenant, no intimacy with the Bridegroom, and no desire for union with Christ. She is satisfied with external religion and the praises of men. She sits comfortably in palaces and positions of authority, while the true woman (the Church) travails in the wilderness, preparing to give birth.
This is not just about history — it is a now word. Babylon is falling, not because of political wars, but because the sons of God are being birthed in the earth. These are not just good Christians — they are the manchild company seen in Revelation 12. They are overcomers, matured sons, born out of the womb of the true Church. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
(Revelation 12:5)
As soon as the manchild is born, he ascends to the throne. Not someday. Not after death. But immediately — because he is birthed in immortality, in union with the Lamb. He does not go into hiding. He does not go into debate. He takes his seat in Christ, reigning over the nations by the authority of divine life. This is the beginning of the end for Babylon.
Sons Ascend, the System Collapses
Babylon does not fall by external force. She falls when the sons rise. Her destruction is not by human hand but by the revelation of Christ enthroned in His body. When the true reign begins, the false system has no power left to hold onto. She is burned with fire — not literal fire, but the fire of divine truth, which exposes, consumes, and purifies.
“These shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will…”
(Revelation 17:16-17)
Even the powers of the world — the very beast she once rode — will turn on her. For God has put it in their hearts to fulfill His purpose: the judgment and destruction of every false religious system. But this judgment is not anger — it is liberation. The Spirit is calling His people out of Babylon. Out of tradition. Out of religious performance. Out of spiritual compromise. Out of mixture.
The Woman Returns to the Wilderness
What of the woman in Revelation 12 — the true Church? After she births the manchild, she does not reign. She retreats to the wilderness, a place prepared by God. There, she is kept. There, she is fed. This is not punishment — it is preparation. The corporate Church is not yet fully matured. But the firstfruits, the overcomers, the manchild has risen. And he reigns with Christ.
This is not hierarchy — this is order. “But every man in his own order…” (1 Cor. 15:23). The manchild must ascend, for he is the beginning of the full harvest. The rest of the Church will follow, but first the true pattern must be seen — Christ in His sons, enthroned, destroying Babylon just by being seated.
Chapter Two
The Mother of Harlots — Religious Mixture
The Cup in Her Hand Is Filled with the Filthiness of Her Fornication THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
“With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication… and in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.”
(Revelation 17:2,4)
The woman John saw is not only a harlot — she is the mother of harlots. She is the source of spiritual fornication, the origin of all religious deception. She sits not just in one place, but upon many waters — symbolic of her widespread influence over peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. She has infiltrated the whole earth, and the world has drunk from her cup.
But what is in that cup?
It is not wine pressed from the Vine of Christ. It is mixture — a blend of truth and error, Spirit and flesh, grace and law, form and ritual without life. She pours out a drink that intoxicates, dulls discernment, and seduces the hearts of God’s people away from pure devotion to Christ. It is not the gospel of the Kingdom, but a gospel laced with tradition, fear, works, and control.
The Mixture of Law and Grace
From her golden cup, Babylon serves a confused gospel — one that tries to mix the finished work of Christ with the requirements of the Old Covenant. She tells you that Jesus saved you, but that you must now strive to stay saved. She exalts the cross in name, but denies its power to perfect those who draw near. She says you are forgiven, but still under guilt. She preaches righteousness, but still binds you with sin-consciousness. This is mixture. This is fornication — a spiritual union between two covenants that were never meant to marry. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
Paul cried out in his day against this very thing:
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you… Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
(Galatians 3:1,3)
Babylon bewitches. She casts a spell of legalism, rules, performance, and spiritual insecurity — all in the name of God. And those who drink from her cup become drunk — unable to walk in the Spirit, confused about who they are, tossed by every doctrine, dependent on man instead of Christ.
Adorned with Religious Beauty
The woman is decked in purple and scarlet, colors of royalty and passion. She is attractive. She has all the right outward signs — music, sermons, rituals, cathedrals, stages, programs, lights, incense, candles. But she lacks the presence of Christ. She is busy, but barren. She is loud, but void of power. She preaches, but cannot bring forth life. Her religion is external, not spiritual. Her beauty is skin-deep.
This is why Jesus said to the church in Sardis:
“I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”
(Revelation 3:1)
The Danger of Mixture
Mixture is not harmless — it is deadly. In the Old Testament, God forbade His people to mix wool and linen in the same garment. Linen speaks of righteousness, and wool represents human effort and sweat. Babylon teaches people to try to be righteous through religious activity. She preaches grace, but promotes self-righteousness. And in doing so, she keeps God’s people from walking in the simplicity that is in Christ. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached… or another gospel… ye might well bear with him.”
(2 Corinthians 11:4)
Babylon preaches another Jesus — a Jesus who condemns, demands, and withdraws. A Jesus who is not the exact image of the Father. A Jesus who is religious, not relational. She preaches another gospel — one that still leaves man as the central figure, striving, performing, always trying to earn a place already given by grace.
The True Bride vs. the Mother of Harlots
The true Bride drinks from the cup of Christ — the New Covenant in His blood. She lives by union with Him, not performance for Him. She walks in the Spirit, not the flesh. She glories in the cross, not her works. She knows her old man was crucified, and she now lives by the indwelling Christ.
But the harlot sits in high places and deceives the nations. She cannot give life because she has not received it. She entertains but does not equip. She gathers crowds but does not make disciples. She wears the name of Jesus but denies His Lordship. Her religion is mixture, and mixture is poison.
The Wheat and the Tares
In this age, the true and the false grow together. The wheat and the tares look alike until the time of harvest. But the time is now. The manchild is being birthed. The sons are arising. And Babylon is being exposed — not by critics, but by the brightness of His appearing within His people.
The more the sons of God manifest, the more the harlot system collapses. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
Chapter Three
Decked with Gold and Purple — The Seduction of Religion
The Outward Beauty of the Harlot Hides the Inward Corruption of a Religious System Without Life
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand…”
(Revelation 17:4)
Babylon does not appear as evil. She comes clothed in splendor, drenched in royalty, adorned with jewels and gold. She doesn’t wear black — she wears purple and scarlet, the colors of wealth, priesthood, and power. Her appearance mimics the true Church. She looks spiritual. She appears holy. She even speaks the language of the Kingdom — but her heart is far from Christ.
She is the perfect counterfeit — not because she looks like the world, but because she looks like religion. Babylon seduces through beauty. She doesn’t need to lure people through sin. She lures them through external spirituality, performance-driven faith, and institutional glory. Her stage is set. Her cup is gold. Her garments are fine. But her message is hollow, and her spirit is dead.
The Glamour of the Harlot
The gold and pearls she wears symbolize religious prestige. She boasts of long traditions, great cathedrals, international ministries, theological degrees, and worldly success. Her beauty attracts the undiscerning. Like Jezebel, she paints her face — not with literal makeup, but with a false image of holiness and power.
Babylon offers a religion that feeds the soul but starves the spirit. She gives man a platform, but denies the Lordship of Christ. She honors God with her lips, but her heart is full of idols — numbers, fame, control, and reputation. Her religious beauty blinds people from seeing the truth: she is drunk with deception.
Jesus warned us:
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
(Matthew 7:15)
This is not just about prophets — it’s about systems. Babylon is a false prophetic system — one that claims to speak for God but speaks from the soul, not the Spirit. She produces man-centered religion that exalts effort, hierarchy, and tradition over intimacy, humility, and the cross.
A System Without Presence
The outward appearance of Babylon is stunning — gold, stones, pearls. But what is missing? There is no ark. No glory. No voice of the Bridegroom. Babylon has built grand sanctuaries, massive organizations, religious empires — but the Lord is not in her midst.
The woman in Revelation 17 is seen sitting — not worshiping, not moving, not following the Lamb — but sitting upon the beast. She is at ease. She is settled. She is comfortable riding the powers of the world. She does not travail. She does not birth anything. She is sterile, static, and content with form.
Contrast this with the true woman in Revelation 12. She is clothed with the sun — the glory of the risen Christ. She has the moon under her feet — dominion over the soul realm. She is crowned with twelve stars — divine government. And she travails in birth. She is not concerned with status — she is consumed with bringing forth the manchild. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
The Fire Will Reveal All
There is a fire coming — not a physical fire, but the fire of divine truth. This fire will not just judge actions; it will expose motives, mixtures, and ministries built on sand. Babylon cannot withstand this fire because she was never built on Christ.
“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire…”
(1 Corinthians 3:13)
Babylon’s beauty is only skin deep. Underneath the gold is rot. Beneath the pearls is pride. Her seduction is her deception — she deceives with a form of godliness, denying the power thereof.
The Seduction Ends When the Sons Rise
As long as the true sons of God are hidden, Babylon thrives. But the moment the manchild is birthed and ascends to the throne, her glamour begins to fade. The beauty of the harlot cannot compare to the glory of the Lamb in His people. Babylon’s lights dim in the presence of the Morning Star.
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.” THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
(Colossians 3:4)
The word “appear” means to shine forth, be made visible. Christ is appearing in His sons, and Babylon cannot seduce a people who are already satisfied with His glory.
Chapter Four
Drunk with the Blood of the Saints
The Religious System That Persecutes the True Move of God
“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.”
(Revelation 17:6)
When John saw the harlot woman, he was stunned — not just because of her appearance, but because of her history. She was not only seductive and influential — she was drunk with blood. Not the blood of the world, but the blood of the saints — those who truly followed Christ. She had become intoxicated by persecuting the righteous, feeding on their suffering, and celebrating their rejection.
This is one of the most horrifying realities of Mystery Babylon:
It is not the secular world that does the most damage to the saints — it is the religious system masquerading as the Church.
The Spirit of Cain Still Lives
From the beginning, the first murder was not committed by a heathen, but by a worshipper. Cain brought an offering to the Lord, just like Abel. But Cain’s offering came from the flesh — from his own works. And when God accepted Abel’s offering, Cain was filled with rage. He couldn’t stand the fact that God honored a life of faith and obedience over outward performance. So what did Cain do?
He killed his brother.
This is the spirit behind Babylon — the spirit of Cain. She is religious, but full of envy. She honors herself, but despises the move of the Spirit. She quotes scripture, but kills the revelation. She appears holy, but hates the voice of the prophetic. And throughout history, she has slain the very vessels God has sent to call her to repentance.
“Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?” THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
(Acts 7:52)
The Persecution of the Righteous
The blood on Babylon’s hands is not symbolic. From the days of the early church until now, the religious system has persecuted the very people God was using to bring truth, revival, and reformation. Consider:
The prophets were stoned by their own people.
Jesus was crucified by the religious elite.
The apostles were beaten, imprisoned, and martyred — not by Rome alone, but by the Jewish synagogue system.
The reformers were excommunicated, tortured, and burned — not by atheists, but by the official church system of their day.
And today? The same spirit lives on. Those who walk in the Spirit, who teach sonship, who preach the finished work, who move in the gifts and power of God, are mocked, silenced, and cast out — not by the world, but by religious minds. Babylon cannot tolerate the true Church, because the true Church exposes her falsehood.
“They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.”
(John 16:2)
Why Does Religion Hate the Saints?
Because the true sons of God cannot be controlled.
They do not bow to traditions.
They do not conform to religious structures.
They walk in the liberty of Christ, and that liberty threatens the chains Babylon uses to bind her followers.
When Jesus healed on the Sabbath, the religious leaders were furious. Not because He did evil — but because He did good outside their control. Babylon cannot stand a move of God that she didn’t initiate, organize, or manage.
This is why she kills the prophets — because the prophets carry a voice she cannot imitate. THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON THE GREAT
A Drunken System Collapsing
The image in Revelation 17 is graphic. The woman is not just guilty — she is drunk with the blood. She has consumed it. She is intoxicated with it. She finds her satisfaction not in the Lamb, but in silencing those who follow Him.
But here is the good news:
She is drunk because her time is short.
She rages because she is falling.
She lashes out because she knows that the sons of God are rising, and her time on the throne is almost over.
“Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.”
(Revelation 18:20)
The Sons Rise Above the Persecution
Just like the manchild in Revelation 12, the true sons of God will not be touched by Babylon. As soon as they are born, they are caught up to the throne. That doesn’t mean raptured into the sky — it means enthroned in authority, hidden in Christ, immune to the attacks of the religious system. They reign while Babylon rages.
These sons are not bitter. They are not retaliating. They are not building their own empires. They are simply being conformed into the image of Christ, and that is enough to shake the foundations of every false system.
Chapter Five
The Mystery Revealed — Babylon Is a False Bride
The Contrast Between the Harlot and the Woman Who Births the Manchild
“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
(Revelation 17:5)
Mystery Babylon is not the Bride of Christ — she is a counterfeit. She dresses like the Bride, speaks like the Bride, claims the name of Christ — but she has no covenant with the Lamb. She is a woman, but she is not the woman of Revelation 12. She is a bride, but not His Bride. She is not married to Christ — she rides the beast.
This is the mystery being revealed in this hour. God is separating the true from the false, the pure from the polluted, the woman in the wilderness from the woman on the beast. Babylon has long pretended to be the Church, but her fruit betrays her. Her mixture, her manipulation, and her thirst for control reveal her for what she is — a harlot system born of man, not of God.
Two Women in Revelation
There are two women in the book of Revelation:
One is a harlot, drunk with the blood of saints, adorned with purple, sitting on the beast.
The other is a pure woman, clothed with the sun, travailing to give birth to a manchild.
These two women represent two systems:
Babylon – the apostate religious system that mimics Christ but resists His Spirit.
The True Church – the woman of the wilderness, giving birth to the overcomers.
Babylon tries to replace the Bride, while the true Church is being prepared to become the Bride. Babylon has a golden cup, but not the blood of Christ. She has ritual, but no relationship. She speaks of heaven, but is rooted in the earth.
A Bride Without a Groom
Babylon wants the benefits of Christ but not the cross. She wants authority but not submission. She wants the crown but not the crucifixion. She has no bridal heart. She does not love the Lamb — she uses His name for gain, platform, and control.
Contrast this with the true Bride:
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.”
(Revelation 19:7)
The true Bride is not riding beasts — she is following the Lamb wherever He goes. She is not adorned with outward gold — she is adorned with inner glory, purified by fire, made ready through intimacy, union, and obedience.
The Woman Clothed with the Sun
Revelation 12 reveals the true woman — a symbol of the remnant Church, clothed with the sun (Christ), with the moon under her feet (soul realm overcome), crowned with twelve stars (divine government). This woman is pregnant with purpose. She is carrying a manchild — a company of overcoming sons who will reign with Christ.
And when she gives birth?
“She brought forth a manchild, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne.”
(Revelation 12:5)
The Manchild Ascends — Babylon Falls
Here is the mystery:
When the true Church births the manchild, he ascends the throne in his immortal state, reigning with Christ. This is not a future rapture — this is a spiritual enthronement. These sons are raised in power, caught up into the authority of Christ, seated in heavenly places. Their ascension marks the collapse of Babylon, for when the true reigns, the false can no longer deceive.
The woman — the true Church — is then taken into the wilderness, a place of protection and feeding. God preserves her while the sons reign. She is still part of the plan, but the manchild is the firstfruits, the governmental seed, the company that conquers.
This is why Babylon rages — she knows her time is short. The sons have risen, and their very presence is her undoing.
The Bride Has a Fire in Her Eyes
The true Bride is emerging — not a denomination, not a platform, but a people in union with the Lamb. She is bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh, Spirit of His Spirit. She is not compromised. She has left the mixture. She walks in holiness, not by effort, but by union. And as she rises, Babylon falls.
“Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?”
(Song of Solomon 8:5)
The harlot rides the beast.
The Bride leans on the Beloved.
Chapter Six
Come Out of Her, My People!
A Divine Call to Separate from the System of Mixture and Return to the Lamb Alone
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
(Revelation 18:4)
Heaven is speaking again. Not with thunder or condemnation, but with an urgent invitation of love and protection.
The voice doesn’t call out to the world. It doesn’t cry out to the nations.
It calls out to “My people” — to those who belong to Christ but are still entangled in the harlot system.
God is not casting off His children.
He is calling them out.
This is not about physical location — it is about spiritual position. Babylon is not a city made of bricks and mortar. She is a system of religion, mixture, and man-made ministry. She is form without power, ritual without relationship, gold without glory. And the Father, in mercy, says:
“Come out of her, My people…”
Babylon Cannot Be Reformed
Many well-meaning believers have tried to reform Babylon — to fix the system from within. They’ve stayed in dead denominations, lifeless institutions, and controlling ministries, hoping to bring light. But Babylon is not meant to be repaired — she is meant to be abandoned.
Her sentence is sealed. Her judgment is sure. She will be burned with fire — because she has rejected the Spirit of Christ.
You cannot awaken what God has judged.
You cannot anoint what God has departed from.
You cannot pour new wine into old wineskins.
God’s command is not, “Fix her.”
It is, “Flee from her.”
“Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.”
(Isaiah 52:11)
Why Must We Come Out?
Because if we remain, we will become partakers in her sins — not just by doing what she does, but by tolerating what God has rejected.
To stay in mixture once truth has come is to grieve the Spirit.
To stay where Christ is not Lord is to sit under another gospel.
To stay where Babylon reigns is to eventually drink from her cup.
And the Lord warns — those who drink from her cup will receive of her plagues. Not because He desires to punish, but because He is a consuming fire — and everything that can be shaken, will be.
Come Out — And Come Into Christ
The call to come out of Babylon is not just a call to leave something…
It is a call to enter into Someone.
To leave Babylon is to:
Enter into union with the Lamb.
Walk in the liberty of the Spirit.
Feast on the pure Word of God.
Fellowship with a remnant people who live by the indwelling Christ.
Be part of the woman in Revelation 12 — the Church that births the manchild and is fed by God in the wilderness.
This is the call of the hour. The Spirit is not asking for church attendance — He is asking for full separation from mixture, and total surrender to the Lamb.
“Come Out” Is the Voice of Love
This is not a voice of anger — it is the voice of the Bridegroom calling His Bride. It is the same voice that said to Lot:
“Escape for your life; look not behind thee… lest thou be consumed.”
(Genesis 19:17)
And yet Lot’s wife — longing for what she left — turned back. And she was frozen, immobilized in a posture of divided loyalty. Babylon cannot be left behind with one foot still in love with her.
God is jealous for His people.
He wants a Bride who leans on Him — not a harlot who rides the beast.
“Therefore, come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and I will receive you. And ye shall be My sons and daughters…”
(2 Corinthians 6:17–18)
The Wilderness Is a Place of Glory
Those who come out are not left orphaned. They are brought into the wilderness — not a place of suffering, but a place prepared by God (Rev. 12:6). There, He feeds, nurtures, and protects His woman. There, the manchild has already ascended. There, the true remnant is being formed — outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Babylon may look strong today, but her fall is near.
She is crumbling under the weight of her own corruption.
And the sons are rising.
The manchild has ascended.
And the Spirit still cries:
“Come out of her, My people.”
Chapter Seven
The Judgment of Babylon Is the Mercy of God
Her Fall Is Not Wrath — It Is the Righteous Fire of Love That Makes Way for the Bride
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.”
(Revelation 18:8)
To the natural mind, Babylon’s fall looks like tragedy. To the religious eye, it looks like devastation. But to the Spirit — it is mercy.
God’s judgment is not vengeance in anger — it is correction in love.
Babylon is not being destroyed because God hates people, but because He loves them too much to leave them under a delusion.
God’s Judgments Are Always Redemptive
The fire that consumes Babylon is not carnal wrath — it is the fire of God Himself.
“For our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:29)
This fire burns away what is false so that only what is of Christ remains.
The gold, silver, and precious stones are not consumed — only the wood, hay, and stubble.
So why must Babylon fall?
Because she has become a spiritual prison — a cage of control, mixture, and death. Her fall is not to destroy the people in her — it is to free them.
“Babylon the great is fallen… and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit…”
(Revelation 18:2)
God is judging the system, not the saints.
He is shaking the foundations so His people can finally hear His voice again, unhindered by religious noise.
When Judgment Comes, Deliverance Comes Too
Every time God brings judgment in Scripture, it’s followed by deliverance:
When the plagues hit Egypt, Israel was set free.
When the flood came in Noah’s day, righteousness was preserved.
When Sodom burned, Lot was delivered.
When Babylon falls, a remnant Church ascends.
The judgment of Babylon is the final blow to the system of mixture — it is the Spirit of God saying, “Enough!”
No more control.
No more perversion of the gospel.
No more spiritual abuse.
No more mocking the Spirit of Truth.
God Has a Purpose in Her Burning
The harlot is burned with fire — why?
Because fire reveals the truth.
“And the ten horns which thou sawest… shall hate the whore… and shall burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will.”
(Revelation 17:16–17)
Even those who once supported her will turn against her.
The beast she rode will cast her off.
Why?
Because God put it in their hearts to fulfill His purpose.
God uses even the systems of man to accomplish His plan. He does not need help to bring down Babylon — He is sovereign, and her fall is already declared.
This is not the end of the world — it is the end of a false religious age.
The Fall of Babylon Makes Room for the Reign of Christ
God does not judge without a greater plan.
Babylon falls so the Bride can rise.
The harlot is consumed so the pure woman can shine.
The false system is removed so the manchild can rule.
This is not the destruction of the Church — it is her liberation.
The Church was never meant to live in mixture.
She was never meant to ride the beast.
She was called to be a bride without spot or wrinkle, leaning on her Beloved.
As Babylon burns, the Bride emerges from the wilderness, cleansed, clothed in white, prepared for the marriage of the Lamb.
Mercy in the Flames
The fire is not against us — the fire is for us.
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
(Isaiah 48:10)
Many who are in Babylon now will be set free in the fire. As the system collapses, they will see Christ more clearly than ever before. The noise will cease, the rituals will fall, and in the stillness, the voice of the Spirit will be heard again.
The judgment of Babylon is not the end of God’s plan —
It is the beginning of full restoration.
Chapter Eight
The Ten Horns and the Beast Hate the Harlot
The System Devours Itself — Fulfilling God’s Sovereign Purpose
“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will…”
(Revelation 17:16–17)
One of the most shocking revelations in John’s vision is that the very beast the woman rides turns on her. The political powers and worldly systems that once upheld Babylon — the harlot church — will suddenly hate her, strip her, consume her, and destroy her.
And here’s the mystery: it is the will of God.
“For God hath put it in their hearts to fulfil His will.”
Babylon is not brought down by a revival. She is brought down by the very systems she trusted in — turned against her by divine sovereignty. Her fall is not initiated by men, but orchestrated by God Himself.
The System Consumes Itself
Babylon was built on manipulation, control, compromise, and alliance with the beast. But the beast has no loyalty. What she used to dominate the saints will turn on her. Her political alliances, financial foundations, and institutional support will unravel.
She is devoured by the very world she tried to befriend.
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God?”
(James 4:4)
The harlot tried to ride the beast — to control the kingdoms of the earth while claiming the name of Christ. But she forgot one thing: the beast cannot be tamed. It has no covenant. It respects no one. And when God is finished using Babylon to expose the hearts of men, He will let the beast destroy her.
Judgment from Within
Her destruction is not by outside persecution — it is from within.
Those once loyal will rise up.
Those once compliant will rebel.
Those once silent will speak.
Her towers will shake, her systems will implode, and her nakedness will be seen by all.
Why?
Because Babylon represents spiritual adultery, and God will not allow her to wear His name any longer. He will strip her of every illusion, until she stands desolate, exposed, and without glory.
Fulfilled Purpose, Divine Design
Let this sink in:
“For God hath put it in their hearts to fulfill His will…”
Even those who hate God will do His bidding.
Even the beast — wild, lawless, and rebellious — will serve the purposes of the Lord.
This is sovereignty.
This is divine orchestration.
This is the hidden wisdom of God, working behind the scenes, bringing down the high places so the Kingdom of Christ may rise.
God is not reacting — He is directing.
Nothing Babylon does can prevent her fall, and nothing she trusted in can save her from it.
The Rise of a People the Beast Cannot Touch
While Babylon burns and the beast turns, something else is happening.
The manchild is already on the throne.
The true Church is in the wilderness, being fed by God.
A people born of the Spirit, walking in union with Christ, is arising — not in the spotlight, but in the secret place.
This company cannot be ridden.
It cannot be manipulated.
It does not serve the beast, and it has no covenant with Babylon.
It is the stone cut without hands — the overcomers, the sons of the Kingdom, the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. And they will reign, not by might, not by politics, not by compromise, but by the life of the indwelling Christ.
Babylon’s Fall Is the Beginning of the Real Church’s Rise
Let the harlot fall. Let the beast rage. Let the system shake.
Because Christ is building a people, not a platform.
A holy priesthood. A kingdom of sons. A bride made ready.
And when she arises, there will be no mixture left.
The days of religious show are ending.
The age of the overcomers is at hand.
The throne is being prepared for a people who bear His name, His heart, and His nature.
Chapter Nine
The Voice of the Bride and Bridegroom Is Heard No More
The Silence That Falls on a System God Has Departed From
“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee… and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth…”
(Revelation 18:22–23)
This is one of the most sobering declarations in the entire Revelation. Babylon isn’t just judged outwardly — she becomes silent inwardly.
No more music.
No more prophetic sound.
No more voice of the Bridegroom.
No more whisper of intimacy.
No more echo of heaven within her walls.
She once boasted of the presence.
She once claimed to represent the Bride.
She once lifted her voice in praise and prophecy…
…but now, heaven has gone quiet in her midst.
The Silence Is the Sign of Departure
Just like when the ark departed from the temple in Ezekiel’s day, or when Ichabod was declared over the house of Eli, this silence means God has left the building.
He has withdrawn His voice from a system that refused His Spirit, ignored His prophets, and exalted man above Christ.
This is not God abandoning His people — this is God leaving a system He never built.
The voice of the Bridegroom is the sweet sound of union, of communion, of divine romance. But Babylon is not in covenant. She is not married — she is a harlot. And when the voice of the Bridegroom leaves, she is left with only her machinery, her programs, her outward form — but no glory.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
(2 Timothy 3:5)
Noise Without Voice
Babylon continues to make noise — the music, the sermons, the schedules — but it’s empty.
It is sound without Spirit.
Words without weight.
Activity without anointing.
There may still be services.
There may still be stages.
There may still be followers.
But heaven is no longer participating.
God is not speaking through the harlot — He is calling His people out from her.
He is not visiting her temples — He is dwelling in His sons.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…”
(Revelation 2:7)
The Spirit is no longer speaking to Babylon — He is speaking out of the wilderness.
The Bride and Bridegroom Have Moved On
The voice of the Bride and the Bridegroom is not gone from the earth — it’s just not heard in Babylon anymore.
Where is it heard?
In the secret place.
In the wilderness where the woman is fed.
In the rising manchild who sits in authority.
In the gatherings of those who love not their lives unto death.
In the corporate body of overcomers who walk with the Lamb, not ride the beast.
God has not gone silent — He has changed locations.
He is no longer in the temple made with hands. He is speaking from within a living temple, built with living stones, full of glory, full of truth, full of fire.
A System That Had Its Chance
Babylon had her moment. She had her chance to repent. She had her warning. But she chose pride over purity. She chose performance over presence. And now, the voice is gone.
“In her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”
(Revelation 18:24)
She silenced the prophets.
Now God has silenced her.
And the silence is not just absence — it is judgment.
The heavens no longer sing over her.
The trumpet is no longer blown.
The sound of the Bridegroom is reserved for the true Bride — the one who has made herself ready.
Chapter Ten
The Lamb Shall Overcome — Christ Reigns!
The Triumph of the King and the Ascension of His Sons Ends Babylon’s Dominion Forever
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
(Revelation 17:14)
The story of Revelation does not end with Babylon. It ends with the Lamb enthroned, ruling with a company who are called, chosen, and faithful. Babylon may roar for a season, but she does not reign forever. The beast may rage, but it cannot conquer. The harlot may deceive many, but she cannot defile the Bride.
Christ has already overcome — and now, His overcoming ones are rising with Him.
The Lamb That Was Slain Now Rules
The Lamb is not weak. He is not passive.
He is not hiding in heaven waiting for permission.
He is reigning now — and He is doing it through a people who carry His life.
He is the Lamb slain — but also the King of kings.
He rules not by violence, but by virtue.
Not by force, but by fullness.
Not by manipulation, but by manifestation.
He is enthroned not only in the heavens but in the hearts of His sons — a company of overcomers, born from the woman, caught up to the throne, and empowered to reign in life.
“They that receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.”
(Romans 5:17)
The Manchild Rules with the Lamb
The manchild company — birthed from the true Church — is not waiting for a future throne.
He is caught up immediately after birth (Revelation 12:5).
This is a picture of immortal union, divine positioning, and spiritual maturity.
These sons reign with the Lamb, not as celebrities or conquerors, but as priests and kings, filled with Christ’s nature.
They overcome by the blood of the Lamb,
by the word of their testimony,
and by loving not their lives unto death (Revelation 12:11).
They are not moved by Babylon.
They do not fear the beast.
They are not intoxicated by the harlot’s wine.
They have been crucified with Christ, and now live by His indwelling life.
A People Who Follow the Lamb Wherever He Goes
“These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth… and in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”
(Revelation 14:4–5)
This is the company Babylon could not produce.
They were not made by religion, but by revelation.
They were not trained in the systems of man, but in the wilderness of God.
They are not bound by tradition — they are moved by the wind of the Spirit.
And they reign — not later, but now.
Babylon Falls — The Kingdom Remains
When Babylon is burned, the world may mourn, but heaven rejoices.
“Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.”
(Revelation 18:20)
Her fall is not the end — it is the beginning of something far greater:
The rise of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, and a Bride made ready.
“Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth! Let us be glad and rejoice… for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.”
(Revelation 19:6–7)
A Bride for the Lamb, Not a Harlot on a Beast
The harlot is judged.
The woman is kept.
The manchild is enthroned.
The Bride is revealed.
And at the center of it all is the Lamb — reigning not alone, but with those who bear His image, carry His heart, and walk in His Spirit.
This is the end of Babylon — and the beginning of the eternal reign of Christ through His Body.
