Who is really in control?
Future judgment and destruction of the Harlot, Mystery Babylon.
John sees the Beast coming in Revelation 17 with the Harlot riding on it. The angel tells John that he is showing him this vision so that he may see the judgment that the Harlot finally receives after thousands of years. However, before the Harlot's judgment, I believe that this combination of the Beast and the Harlot, their economic, political and governmental authority, will be very powerful on earth like never before. That is because, if you remember the dreams in the Book of Daniel, this last worldly kingdom will be different and powerful. It will be the only world kingdom that has ever ruled the entire world.
Revelation 17:16-17 says,
16 “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
17 “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
The above Scripture shows the Mystery Babylon, the apostate religious system, is destroyed by the Beast upon which she rides, the antichrist system and the Antichrist himself. This really shows who is in control! One may think that these apparently very powerful spiritual and governmental kingdoms are really in control, but look; God put it into the Antichrist's heart to destroy Mystery Babylon, the Harlot.
