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.
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!

J. Mark continues his study of Revelation, focusing on chapter six. We see the opening of the seven seals, which unleashes God’s judgment on unbelieving mankind.
