If you research commentaries, you will get different views on the mystery of Babylon, Mother of Harlots. I suggest you study the history of Babylon and see the spiritual implication most of all; the immorality spoken of in the literal text and see a system of corruption that would come from the influence of the beast to come. I have prayed for all of you and for myself that the Lord will give us understanding and wisdom and the desire to know Him and follow His ways according to His Word now and forever. Amen.
Summarize this chapter and post a prayer if you would like.
