 Alright, welcome back to this second lecture today on Revelation Daniel. I hope all of you are following with me. So what we arrived at Revelation chapter 16 verses 12 to 14, which is the sixth angel pouring out the bowl. And that sixth angel, which is the second last judgment, is really a buildup of the battle of Armageddon. So what it's saying is when that sixth angel poured out that bowl, the river Euphrates dried up. Demon spirits were released on the earth to go and mobilize the kings of the earth, that is the leaders, the kings of the east. So we are looking at countries east of Israel. Many people think this has a big reference to Russia and China because they are both major countries east of Israel. And they will be mobilized to come towards Israel and not only kings of the east, but it also says armies of the whole world, kings of the whole world. So this is a world war that's beginning to be built up. So that's Revelation 16. Now what is interesting is there are parallels passages to Revelation 16, 12 to 14. So you need to remember Joel chapter 3. We read a few verses from Joel 3. I didn't read all the verses, but you can read the whole chapter. Joel 3 verses 1 and 2. God says, you know, I will gather my people back in Israel. Then the nations will come against Israel. And the reason is because they have divided up my land. And then we read a few other verses in Joel chapter 3 where it says, their armies are gathering together to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Another passage or chapters is Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39. These are two chapters again, describing this final battle of armies coming against Israel. So when you read Ezekiel 38, when you ask the question, what time is he referring to Ezekiel? He says, in the latter years, that is verse 8, Ezekiel 38 verse 8. He repeats that again in Ezekiel 38 verse 16. He says, it will be in the latter days. Ezekiel 38 verse 16. So I'm just referring to some scriptures here in Ezekiel 38 verse 16. In the latter days, I will bring you against my land. So the nations may know me that I will be hallowed in you or Gog before the eyes. So Gog may Gog, Rosh, Jubal, Meshach. People refer to these as tribes in and around Russia and so on. And, you know, they try to say roughly this in this region. So Russia is a major player here. And then you have Persia, Ethiopia, Libya representing the Arab nations. So they form an alliance with Russia and they begin to move against Israel. So God is saying, what the time period is talking about in the latter days. He mentions that twice in verse 8 and verse 16 in Ezekiel 38. And it says, you know, an evil thought will come into your mind. I'm going to go to these people who are living peacefully. That is the people of Israel. And I'm going to go attack them. So that's how this whole thing is going to start. There's going to be this initial move of Russia against Israel and some of its allied countries. But when you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, what happens is that... So if you look at Ezekiel 39, okay, I'm just going to reference certain verses. You can read both of these chapters. In 39, it's verses 1 and 2, it says, And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I'm against you, O Gog, the prince of Russia, Meshach and Tubal. So again, he's referring to Gog. Gog is like the head of the Russia, Meshach and Tubal. These tribes that are in Russia, Rosh, Meshach and Tubal, the leader. It says, I will turn you around and lead you on bringing you up from the far north and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Again, that's very interesting because just right up north of Israel is Moscow. If you look at the map, world map, the way things are is it's really interesting. Let me see here. Let's try to show us that. And it's quite interesting to see this. Oh, one minute, just hold on, please. So just north of Israel is Moscow. And I just thought that if you have a look at it, and it'll be just so. Whoops. I just want to quickly share this with you so you can see it. You see this is where Moscow is on the map. This is Russia, huge land mass. Moscow is right here. And just directly, Israel is right here. The tiny, tiny, tiny piece of land right here in this little dot here, Israel. And straight up north to Israel is Moscow. Just right up north. North of Israel is Moscow. And if you look at the scale 39, verse 2, I will turn you around and lead you on bringing you up from the far north and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Who? He said, Gog, the prince of Rosh Meshach and Chiba. I will bring you from the far north against the mountains of Israel. Far north, Israel, right here. It's almost, you know, like straight north of Israel. So it's pretty interesting to see, you know, what is written here is equal 39, verse 1 and 2. Very interesting. Speaking to the prince of Gog, who is the prince of Rosh Meshach and Chiba, tribes that probably are in Russia. And he says, I will bring you from the far north against the mountains of Israel. And, you know, if you look, if you read through the details, what will happen is, as Russia moves towards Israel, God will enter being and Israel will actually push Russia back. Israel will actually defeat Russia. It says there, if you read on in Ezekiel 39, verse 11, it'll come to verse 11. It'll come to pass in that day that I'll give Gog a burial place there in Israel. The valley of those who pass by east of the sea. It'll upset travelers because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the valley of him and Gog. For seven months, the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. In other words, they're going to come, but Israel is going to defeat them. And they're going to bury them there. They're going to be destroyed. So that's what it says there in verse 11. They will not be able to defeat Israel because God himself is going to defend the land. And then, you know, and it's going to be, it's going to take so much time to, you know, just to clean up the land and so on. So you can read, you know, Ezekiel 38 and 39, which is describing this whole movement of nations into the valley of Jehoshaphat or calling it or as Revelation 16, 12 says, the battle of Armageddon. There's one more chapter that is descriptive of this final battle, which is Zechariah, the 14th chapter. So remember Joel chapter 3, Ezekiel chapter 38, chapters 38 and 39, and also Zechariah chapter 14. So again, I'll just, you know, reference Zechariah, the 14th chapter and look at some verses there. Now in verse 2, Zechariah chapter 14, verse 2. Okay, again, you know, I'd encourage you to read this full chapter. All these chapters that I mentioned, Joel chapter 3, Ezekiel 38 and 39, Zechariah 14, tie back to Revelation chapter 16, verses 12 to 14, the battle of Armageddon. Okay, but I'm just giving you a few verses. I'll be just reading a few verses there from Zechariah 14. Notice what he says in verse 2. In verse 1, the day of the Lord is coming. So he's talking about the day of the Lord. And we know that's a phrase that is used often towards the end of times. And in some cases, the day of the Lord is used specifically for the battle of Armageddon. So he says the day of the Lord is coming. What will happen? Verse 2, I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. Okay, same thing, same thing. I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. That's how we know Zechariah 14 is referencing this battle of Armageddon because it's all nations coming against Jerusalem. Right? And then he describes what will happen. What will happen? Verse 3, the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as he fights in the day of battle. So God himself is going to fight for Israel on that day. How will that going to happen? Verse 4, in that day, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives will be split into, oh, now this is talking about Jesus. His feet, Zechariah 14, for his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. Now, where did Jesus ascend into heaven from Mount of Olives? What do the angels say? The same Jesus, whom you see go, will come in soul like manner. Zechariah 14, for his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. So the Lord Jesus is coming back. And so this is taking us to Revelation 19. We're going to read that when he comes. Where's he going to land? Right there on the Mount of Olives, Zechariah 14. And he's going to defend, he's going to fight against all the nations. And it says here, the Mount of Olives will be split into two in Ezekiel. I didn't point this out, but in Ezekiel 38, verse 19, God says, Surely there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. Ezekiel 38, verse 19. This is during the Battle of Armageddon in time. He said it's going to be great earthquake. Zechariah 14, for the Mount of Olives will be split into two. And it'll go north and south. So half, and it'll make a large valley, a very large valley, half toward the north and half toward the south. The mountain will move. So imagine this. And verse 14, verse 5. Thus the Lord my God will come and all the saints with you. So beautiful this is. Thus the Lord my God will come and all the saints with you. That's Revelation chapter 19. When Jesus returns, he will come with all the saints. And if you turn with me to Jude, just look at Jude. And you please, somebody could read verse 14 and 15. Jude chapter 1, verses 14 and 15, please. Somebody could read that. Jude chapter 1, 14 and 15. Thomas. Yes, Pastor, one moment I'm checking this. Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm moving through the chapters very fast here and there, but it's all very. So a small chapter, it's quite difficult to the world pages. That's right. I find it versus 14, right? 14 and 15, yes. Yeah, 14 and 15. Now, the seventh from Adam prophesied about this man also saying, behold, the Lord comes with the 10,000 of his saints to execute judgment and all to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds, which they have committed to in ungodly way. And of all the heart things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Notice, Enoch prophesied the Lord comes with 10,000 of his saints to execute judgment. So we are reading now in Zechariah 14 verse 5. That's the Lord, my God will come and all the saints with you. He's talking again. God is coming. He's going to defend Israel. The saints are going to come with him. And we're jumping through a certain verses here. Verse 9 of Zechariah 14. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. In that day, it shall be. The Lord is one and his name is one. And how is it going to happen? Verse 12. And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem. The flesh will dissolve while they stand on their feet. Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets. And the tongue shall dissolve in their mouths. So see, the Lord is going to come. This is Revelation chapter 19, the battle of Armageddon. When Jesus comes, he will come right on the Mount of Olives. And all these things will take place, right? So back to Revelation 16. So Revelation 16, verses 12 to 14, this build up to the battle of Armageddon, is there are the prophets who spoke of this day and this time. So we saw how Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39 speaks of what's going to happen. We saw how Joel chapter 3 speaks of this. We saw how Zechariah chapter 14 speaks of this, this whole battle of Armageddon. So they're all going to be gathered together in this battle of Armageddon. Now, from the references mentioned, we can say, the kings of the east, armies, nations to the east of Israel are going to move in. Kings of the north, Russia coming in, right? Against Israel. So Revelation chapter 16, let's read verses 17 to 21. This is the last one, last judgment. Revelation chapter 16, 17 to 21. Somebody can read that for us please. Revelation chapter 16, 17 to 21. Then the seven angels pour out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out to the temple of heaven from the throne saying, it is done and there were noise and thunder and lightning and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell and great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fair census of his birth. Then every Iceland filled plate away and the mountains were not found and great hill from heaven fell upon men. Each hill is told about the weight of the talent man, blessed man, God because of the plug of the hill. Since that plug was extremely red. So this last judgment, there are, you know, this verse 18, Revelation 17, 16 verse 18, talking about thunderings and lightnings, great earthquake. So, you know, these are weather related phenomena, thunderings, lightnings and great earthquake and we saw in Ezekiel 38 verse 19 that there's going to be great earthquake all in this time of this battle of Armageddon built up and it says this great city was divided into three parts. So, and the great city here is referring to the, sorry here, verse 19, there's a great earthquake in Israel. So that great city is divided into three parts, but it's also announcing the fall of great Babylon, which we will see in chapter 17 and 18. Now, Babylon that we are going to see in chapter 17 and 18 is not referring to the physical city of Babylon. So when it talks about great Babylon, which one of the angels had announced, this is in Revelation 14 verse 8, you know, Babylon is not referring to the physical city, it's referring to something else, which we will explain in chapter 17 and 18, but there's a great earthquake in the land of Israel that takes place thick. So, this final judgment, Porta is lightning, thunderings, great earthquake and things are happening on the earth. Men are just getting angry with God and blaspheming God. So, where are we now? We are towards the end of the seven year tribulation. Okay. What is happening? There's been this buildup of the Battle of Armageddon or the Battle of Armageddon. Armies are beginning to move towards Israel. We saw that there's going to be the armies of the east and it says the whole world, armies of the world, they're all building up, there's a great earthquake, all this is happening towards the end of the seven years of tribulation and the Battle of Armageddon is going to happen, but just before it happens, as the nations are beginning to move towards Israel and Jerusalem specifically, two things happen. That is chapter 17 and 18. Great Babylon is shaken. Now, what is great Babylon? Basically, great Babylon refers to this world religious system that was introduced by the false prophet because it is man's attempt to replace God. Great Babylon also refers to the world economic system that is the anti-Christ and put in place. So in Revelation chapter 17, this religious system is referred to as mystery Babylon. So the word mystery is always used in scripture, especially in the New Testament scripture, to refer to things that are spiritual in nature, mystery, the mystery of God, the mystery that is revealed to us in Christ and so on. So Revelation 17 refers to mystery Babylon, the religious system, and when we read chapter 17, it will become clear. I'm just giving us an introduction there. Revelation 18 refers to the great city Babylon and you will see that the great city Babylon is not referring to the physical city, but is referring to this economic system that all the nations, people from all nations are part of. So both these two things collapse, they fall, they disintegrate, people reject these things, it's just gone. So as the nations are building up towards the battle of Armageddon, the world religious system and the world economic system collapse. Now, based on what we have seen happen in the last month or so, it makes a lot of sense. I mean, we can imagine it happening. So the last month or so, then nations started sanctioning Russia economically, primarily the EU and a few other countries. They impose economic sanctions against Russia. You see, it hit Russia hard and they're still feeling it. And it's still happening, it's going on. Within a month's time, within a month's time, things have become very difficult in Russia. Now, the economic system is taking a hard hit. People had money invested in different places. Money just suddenly disappeared, devalued almost in a matter of days. Gone. So the economic system has hit very hard. Now, you can imagine when nations, now this is, you know, some nations against Russia. But when you think about the battle of Armageddon, it's going to be nations. The whole world is going to come against, either you're for Israel or against Israel. You're on one side or the other side. They're coming. And a lot of things are going to happen. So obviously in the process, they're going to reject this religious system, which was worship of the beast. And they're going to reject this economic system. So we don't want to be part of it. It's going to collapse. And it can happen like that. So when you look at Revelation 17, let's read our verses one to five, please. We will look into this. Revelation 17 verses one to five. Somebody could read that. Conan. Revelation 17, one to five. Revelation 17, one to five. Go ahead, Prince. Then one of the seven ancients who had the seven poles come and talk with me, saying to me, Come, I will show you the judgment of the great hero who saved one and the inhabitant of the earth who I met drunk over the wine of a phonic acid. So he cried, cried me away in the spirit into the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a prolet base which was full of name of Plasmin. Having seven heads on the tenon, the woman was buried in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. Having in her head a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her phonic acid. And on her forehead a name was written, Mastery Babylon, the great mother of her lords and of the abominations of the earth. I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the mystic of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. Amazement, okay, thank you. So now, John is seeing something. He's seeing a woman and he's like, he refers to this as a great harlot. I'm looking at chapter 17, verse 1. So this angel is showing him this and explaining this. He sees this woman as a great harlot sitting on many waters. Now, this many waters which we will see in verse 15, Revelation 17-15, it says, the waters which you saw where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues. So when this woman is sitting on the waters, the waters are basically verse 15, peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues, that means this woman is having influence over the nations, over peoples. That's what it means. This woman is sitting on the waters. She represents the nations. She is having influence. And this woman is a great harlot, a prostitute, a great harlot. Now in the Bible, spiritual, you know, unfaithfulness to God, going away from God, replacing God is referred to as spiritual harlotry in the Bible, especially Old Testament. So we can understand here this woman, this great harlot is a false religion. It is taking the place of God. It is trying to replace God and she is sitting over the nations. So that's why we say this woman, that's one first reason why this great harlot is a false religion which we know was introduced by the false prophet. And we will see more details on it in this chapter, Revelation 17. And this woman is, she is making people drink of her fornication. That means she's causing people to just depart away from God. Again, spiritual harlotry, spiritual fornication means departure from God. And this woman is actually on a scarlet beast and she's blaspheming God and having seven heads and ten horns. So this woman is sitting on a scarlet beast. Who is a scarlet beast? Scarlet, a beast, this is the same thing as Revelation 13 was one and two when we saw the beast. That is the antichrist. Seven head, ten horns. So this woman is sitting on the beast. This beast is carrying this great woman. That means it is the antichrist who is promoting this woman, was brought in this woman. So she is riding on this beast. Seven heads and ten horns, Revelation 13, one and two. She is sitting on this beast, scarlet representing blood. You'll see why it's blood red. Okay, verse four, six. But this woman is riding on the beast. Who's the beast? Antichrist. Seven heads, ten horns who's blaspheming against God. So she's carried by the beast. And this woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet, which is royal because people have embraced her and she is being welcomed, embraced, adorned by the nations. And who is this woman? Verse five, she's mystery Babylon. Mystery Babylon. Like I said, the word mystery is always used in the context of spiritual things. So that's the second reason we are saying this woman is representing the false religion that was introduced by the false prophet in order to get the people to worship the beast. False religion. And verse six, what does this religion do? What does this do? She's full of the blood of the saints. So because of this false religion, a lot of people have died. We know that. We saw it earlier in Revelation, chapter 15, that all these people, they've rejected, they refuse to worship the image of the beast here in heaven. So yet it says, she's full of the blood of the saints. Revelation 17 verse six and the martyrs of Jesus. Meaning this religion has caused the death of many people who believed in Jesus Christ. Okay. So let's try to just make some more progress in chapter 17. Could somebody read please from verse Revelation 17 verses 7 to 18. Revelation chapter 17 was 7 to 18. It's the entire passage there. Revelation 17. Revelation 17. The angel said to me, why did you marvel? I will tell you the mysteries of the woman and of the beast. That is her which has the seven heads of the ten horns that you saw was the was and is not. And will have them out of the bottomless pit and go to the, and those who dwell on the earth will marvel. Those names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. When they see the beast that was and is not, it is, here is the mind which has a wisdom. Heads are the seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is and others come. And when he comes, he must continue to short-time, continue to short-time. The beast that was not, is not, and is not, is himself also the eighth and is of the seven. And is going to tradition. The ten horns which you saw or the ten kings received no kingdoms as yet, but they received authority for one heart as a king with the beast. These are the one mind and they will give their power and authority to the beast. This will make war with the lamb and the lamb will overcome them for he of lots and king of kings and those who are, whom are called chosen and faithful. Then he said to me, the waters which you saw where the sits are the people's multitudes, nations and towns. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put in, put it into their hearts to fulfill his purpose to be of one mind give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled and the woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over kings of the earth. So the, if you look, let's look at verse seven onwards. So he's saying, look this beast that is carrying this woman with seven heads and ten horns. The beast which was is not and yet is. That's how he ends that. He's referring to the antichrist. The beast that was is not and yet is. So we saw in Revelation 13 that this beast was killed, not killed but was was wounded. You know, this is in verse three, Revelation 13. Three was mortally wounded and again in Revelation 13. 14 it was wounded by the sword and lived. So we saw earlier in Revelation 13 that there was some sort of an attack on this beast and yet it lived and that's why people were so amazed of this beast. So that's why it's referring to here as this beast which was, was not and yet is, meaning it was there that this man antichrist was there. He seemed to have almost died but he lived. That's the beast he's referring to. But this is the one who comes from the bottomless pit and will end up in perdition. So this is, this is the antichrist. He's going to have his eternal destination in the bottomless pit. He's going to be gone because we know he's being backed up by the dragon. And then he says the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. Now mountains, we saw in Daniel chapter two. Mountains refers to kingdom or kingdoms here in this case, seven mountains, seven kingdoms. And he also talks about seven kings or seven heads, seven mountains, seven kings. Five has fallen. One is the other has not yet come. And then he says here the, and when he comes he must continue a short time. The beast that was and is not, is not, is himself also the eight and is off the seven. And it's going to perdition. So generally when people look at this, they, they start counting from the kingdom of Assyria, Babylon, Mead, Persian, Greek, Greece, kingdom of Greece and the, the Romans are. So, and then the last one is that of the antichrist. This kingdom, the, of the antichrist himself, which is, which comes onto the earth. So he's talking about these kingdoms that have different empires that have existed. And five have fallen that come and gone. One is, which is, which is the kingdom of the antichrist. And he's talking about this, the seventh and the eighth, which is kind of merged here. The seventh one, which is going to perdition. So he's talking, basically, we are, we are looking at a, at a, a region, a region of the antichrist. And he's talking about this, the seventh and the eighth, which is kind of merged here. At a, at a, a region, a world empire that was from which the antichrist comes or, no, I would say a world empire, but a system out of which the antichrist comes. And he's establishing his own, but he is off the seventh, but he, the antichrist is going to end up in perdition. So the seventh and the eighth are almost interlinked because this antichrist is coming out of that, setting up his own, his own, we could use the word world order or a system or a kingdom, but he actually is from the seventh. He comes out of that and he sets himself up and, but he is going to end up in perdition. And then there are these 10 horns, which we have seen earlier in Daniel, the 10 toes, the 10 horns, representing 10 leaders or 10 kings. This is verse 12, Revelation 17, 12. And they have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as king by the beast. So remember these 10 were the ones who helped to bring the antichrist into power. When you read Daniel, it's very clear that the small horn, little horn, comes up. He overpowers three of these 10 and then the rest of them put him into power. But he's made a promise to them, which seems to be indicated here, that he's going to give them influence, right? So the 10 horns which you saw are 10 kings who have received no kingdom as yet. So the antichrist has come into power. They've helped him come into power, but they haven't received what he has promised them yet. They haven't received it, but he gives them authority for one hour as kings with the beast. So he's come into some sort of a thing and you can join me in my, you know, in my rulership. So they receive power for authority for one hour as kings with the beast. Who's the beast? He's the antichrist. So he's setting them up. So it seems to indicate that when they brought him into power, he said, look, I'm going to let you, you know, join with me in my rulership or leadership, but they haven't received it yet. But for one hour, in sort of very brief period, he says, okay, now you can join me. Right. And I was 13, they will be of one mind and they'll give their power and authority to the beast. This is what's the team. So these 10 are supporting this beast and they're backing him up. And they're going to make war with the lamb, but the Lord of Lords is going to overpower them. Verse 14. Now, Revelation 17, the angel explains to John, Revelation 17, 15, the harlot sitting on the waters is basically this woman extending influence over the nations. The 10 horns, these were 16. These will hate the harlot, make her desolate naked, eat her flesh and burn with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill his purpose, to be of one mind, to give the kingdom to the beast, unto the words of God to fulfill. And the woman you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. So what's happening? If you try to understand this, you know, if I want to just sum up what this passage is saying, there have been many kingdoms in the past. Five of them have come and gone. We know all the way to the Roman Empire. Then here comes another loosely held union of iron and clay, which we read in Daniel. Out of that comes Antichrist, the beast. But how has he helped him to power? 10 horns have helped him to help him into coming to power. And he has promised them to give rulership. Now they're all of one mind and they are supporting him. And he gives them authority for one hour. So briefly, you know, you're still supporting me. And verse 16 says, you know, these 10 horns, they will support the beast. But what is the beast doing? He is carrying this great harlot. He is promoting this world religion, this mystery Babylon. But what happens? Verse 16, these 10 leaders will turn against this world religion. They will hate the harlot. In other words, they have supported the beast for political reasons, for rulership. But what is the beast done? He's brought in a harlot. He's brought in a religious system, which is basically people worshipping him. So these leaders are going to turn against that. And verse 17 says, God has put it into the hearts to fulfill this purpose. This whole thing, them supporting the beast for a period of time and giving him rulership, dominion. And then them realizing that, hey, what is this beast doing? He's actually bringing in a harlot. He's bringing in this false religion. And then them turning against that false religion, causing it to collapse. He says, God has put it in their hearts. God is orchestrating all of this. So what happens in the end? This harlot becomes verse 16. They make her desolate and burn her with fire. That means these 10 kings who supported the antichrist, they're going to turn against this whole thing, this religion. And they say, we don't want that. And they destroy it. So this whole religious system, this harlot who was riding on the beast, is going to be destroyed. And mystery Babylon is going to collapse. This world religious system is going to be torn down because these 10 leaders withdraw the stages, go against this religious system. And this was the religious system, verse 18, who influenced the whole world and even leaders of the world bought into it. Did you all understand chapter 17? Are there any questions? Any questions? Okay. Take some time to read Revelation 17. If you have any questions, we can pick it up next week. We will continue with chapter 18 on from next week, Revelation. All right. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Just read it, see if you can explain it to yourself. If you understand it, bring it out. And then if you have any doubts, you can ask me. It is a little difficult because of the kinds of images that we read off in Revelation 17. But we will explain it if you have any questions. Okay. Let's take a break now. We will close and we'll take a break. And I'll see you in the next class in about 10 minutes. Okay. Somebody can pray and we will dismiss. Kiran, can you pray and we'll dismiss? Yes, sir. We'll pray. Father God, we come before once again you through and we want to say thank you, Father God, for your word and your wisdom and knowledge. Father God, help us to understand the whole book of Revelation. And so many things will happen. Father God, the upcoming days and upcoming time. Father God, help us to move forward and be prepared for that. Father God, lead us to the rest of the time submitting to you and Father God, take care of every single one of you. Amen. Amen. Thank you. I'll see you on the next class in 10 minutes. Thank you.
