“Which Kingdom has our Loyalty?”

Revelations 15-18 

“…BABYLON THE GREAT   THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES…I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus…the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings – and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers…‘come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins…Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.’”

Revelation 17:5, 6, 14; 18:4, 20

The same spiritual power that persecutes and kills Christ’s followers, also seduces them. In some regions of the world the Church is persecuted and there are many martyrs. In other parts of the world the Church is seduced by lust and compromised. When we look behind the veil we see it is the same spiritual principality and power opposing and seducing the followers of Christ. 

With which kingdom do we identify: the kingdom of Jesus, or the kingdom of the world?

Like Lot, have we become comfortable with sin, or do we flee temptation?

God’s judgment of sin and the world will expose our ultimate loyalties.

Will we weep or rejoice?

“Lord Jesus, I desire to be a called, chosen, and faithful follower of yours in these last days.”
