Summary
In Revelation 17, John sees a vision of Babylon the Great, representing Rome as a harlot city built on seven hills. This great city enriches itself through exploitation and greed, trading in everything including human souls. God calls His people to come out of her before judgment falls. The message warns against divided loyalty between worldly kingdoms and Christ. While earthly cities promise permanence, they ultimately crumble under corruption. Christians must place their hope in God's eternal kingdom rather than temporary worldly powers.
