#### DATE:
Tuesday, November 27, 2018. #### TOPIC:
The Lamb Will Overcome Them #### BIBLE READING:
Revelation 17: 1 - 18

#### Qs. 7 [See Questions HERE](https://steemit.com/scripture-union/@scripture-union/su-method-for-daily-devotion-quiet-time).

### DISCUSSION: The great prostitute, who sits on many waters **(vs 1-5),** is Babylon, the great city that rules over the kings of the earth **(v. 8)**. It will be punished **(read v. 15 and Jeremiah 51: 12-13)!** But Why! The ancient Babylon was the political, commercial and religious center of a world empire and was noted for its luxury and moral decadence. Babylon, therefore, typifies the proud, corrupt and filthy world system which is always detestable to the holy God. How far worse and offensive is our generation which legalises and institutionalises every lifestyle that is against God! The woman was drunk with the blood of the saints who bore testimony to Jesus **(v. 6).** Is it any different in our cities and villages today where in their hunt for blood of Christians, they slaughter whole villagers, and churches/buses are bombed? Leaders of nations and commanders of terrorist groups come up with more complex strategies, wielding so much power and influence that seem to defy human solutions **(vs 7-8).** However, their destruction will come speedily **(v. 11).** Leaders of nations continue to build alliances against Jesus and His gospel but the Lamb will overcome them **(vs 12-14).**

### So what: Build your hope on nothing else but on the King of kings and Lord of lords. He will soon cause disunity among the leaders of the world and the world system will ultimately fail while God's word will be fulfilled **(vs 15-17).**

### Prayer/Song: ***Help me, Lord Jesus, to be faithful to You to the end.***
