Revelation 17:1-2



Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

·        This is a new vision (MH)

·        A “great sign” in heaven speaks of a sign that had to be interpreted (Rev. 12:9, 17; 17:7, 12) and as having great significance. This is the first of three signs in the book of Revelation (Rev. 12:1, 3; 15:1).
 

Jeremiah 51:7  Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunk.  The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations are deranged.

Psalm 9:7  But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
