Let me wrap this chapter up with a memorable verse of all verses. The Great Whore of Babylon is the Anti-Christ system of the world which emerged since the time man tried to set itself up against God, continued through John’s day with the oppressive Empire of Rome and is seen in our day tempting and deceiving us all. She is being worked by the evil trinity of the dragon and the beasts.
“They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” (Revelation 17 v 14)
There isn’t a battle. Always remember this. It is finished yes?! It is done. But the Whore and the dragon and the beasts think they have another opportunity to battle with the Lamb. They don’t and this verse explains it!
They may wage war but they are triumphed because he is …!
Jesus only has to turn up and they are defeated!
Come Lord Jesus come!
Our move of God that we need is not for Him to move powerfully to defeat the enemy etc. It is just for His presence. His presence is enough.
