In the book of Revelation Jesus Christ reveals to the apostle John a woman called “Babylon the great,” who rides on a beast and is also a “great city which reigns over the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:5-7, 18). This future Babylon will be both religious and political. The woman represents a false church that will control a revival of the Roman Empire, which will for a short time be an economic superpower.
The 18th chapter of Revelation first gives a warning to believers and then goes on to describe how this second Babylon will fall. The warning says, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). Jesus Christ, through the apostle John, warns millions of deceived people who have become a part of this religious system to come out of her before she receives her punishment.
The church that will lead this second Babylon has a long history and is responsible for the martyrdom of apostles, prophets and saints (Revelation
18:20, 24). The name Babylon is not its actual name. The name symbolizes the confusion of this system in contrast to what Jesus Christ taught and established in His Church.
