What will remain when the world’s systems, wealth, and influence are gone? In this episode, J. Mark Horst studies Revelation 18:20–24, where John describes the final destruction of Babylon. J. Mark considers three insights into Babylon’s final overthrow: the storm of God’s vengeance, the enduring silence that follows its destruction, and the evidence that leads to its judgment. This sobering passage reminds us that worldly wealth, power, and status will not last, and calls us to live for the eternal city rather than the “NO MORE” city.
What does our grief reveal about what we truly value? In Revelation 18:9-19, J. Mark Horst examines the mourning that follows the fall of Babylon and the destruction of its wealth, power, and luxury. Kings, merchants, and workers all mourn because they have lost the riches and pleasures they built their lives around. As we consider their response, we’re challenged to examine our own priorities and ask whether we are invested in the wealth and pleasures of this world but or in the true riches found in Christ.
In this study of Revelation 18:1-8, J. Mark Horst examines the fall of Babylon, a city that represents corrupted world systems. This episode outlines the processes God will use to accomplish Babylon’s ultimate destruction. We see how God’s patience and mercy extend to all people, calling everyone to turn to Christ and separate from the world’s corruption.
In part 2 of studying Revelation 17, J. Mark outlines the succession of world kingdoms leading to the final earthly kingdom and the relationship between Mystery Babylon and these kingdoms. Throughout history, this woman, the purveyor of false religion, has empowered the empires of the world. In the end, those she had nurtured turn on her with vicious hatred that is divinely placed in their hearts. This passage reveals how false religion will be eradicated once and for all!

In this second part of studying Revelation 16, J. Mark Horst examines the final two bowl judgments poured out during the Great Tribulation. In Revelation 16:12–21, we see the Euphrates River dry up, and the nations gather at Armageddon for “the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” J. Mark explores the meaning of these final judgments as God brings them to completion with the declaration, “It is done.” This passage reveals that the world is being brought before Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, for His righteous judgment.

In this episode, we study Revelation 16:1-11, the account of God’s messengers pouring out the bowl judgments onto those who worship the beast. In Part 1 of our study in Revelation 16, J. Mark Horst examines the first five bowl judgments and explains why God’s wrath is always righteous and just. As painful sores, blood-filled waters, scorching heat, and darkness and agony cover the earth, humanity continues to reject God rather than repent. This episode will challenge you to consider God’s judgment and the mercy He extends today through Jesus Christ.
As we continue in our study of Revelation, we come to Revelation 15, which offers a glimpse behind the curtain of the preparations before the bowl judgments occur. J. Mark studies this passage, examining the scenes of the seven angels preparing God’s final judgments, saints worshipping the Lamb through meaningful song, and the glory of God filling His temple. Through these dramatic scenes, we discover God’s solemn warnings to repent and hear a call to worship the King before the day of His judgment arrives.
In this episode, J. Mark explores Revelation 14, where we see the Bible’s picture of the coming harvest. He explains the significance of the 144,000—firstfruits of the redeemed, the messages of the three angels, and the final harvest of the earth. Throughout this passage, we see how God preserves His people while extending one final call to repentance before His judgment comes. This episode challenges us to consider which harvest we will be a part of.
In this episode, J. Mark examines the second beast of Revelation 13, often called the False Prophet, and uncovers his role as “Satan’s Enforcer” during the final years of the Great Tribulation. Revelation 13:11-18 reveals how he will use political authority, religious deception, and economic control to compel the world to worship the Antichrist. We also explore the significance of the mark of the beast and why this passage is about spiritual vigilance. Join us as we discover how this prophecy calls believers to discern deception and faithfully proclaim Christ in a world opposed to Him.
