Babylon has become the ‘bride of the Adversry,’ the dwelling place for demons, a prison for ‘unclean’ spirits.’ Demons are evil spirits that are associated with the occult. Evil spirits can be divined through witchcraft and channeling and will appear as people we once knew. This is known as a ‘familiar spirit’ and many people embrace these spirits as the ‘return of a loved one.’ In reality, they are demons taking physical or emotional shape leading their prey away from the Truth of God’s Word: “it is appointed for a man to die once and then face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

These are the Revelation chapter studies.
Revelation Chapter 17 – The Whore and The Beast
In this interlude of Tribulation events, Yochanan is shown more details about the ‘great whore’ and ‘the beast’ from Revelation 13. The Hebrew word for ‘whore’ is zanah and means to ‘commit adultery.’ This ‘whore’ or ‘adulteress’ is a spiritual adulteress. She is a harlot who has chosen to forsake the Creator, the God of Isra’el, and submit to false gods. Her global harlotry includes kings and people from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
Revelation Chapter 16 – Bowls of Wrath
Yochanan hears a loud voice from the heavenly sanctuary commanding seven messengers to pour out the seven bowls of Adonai’s fury onto the earth. The Hebrew word for ‘fury’ is chemah and means ‘heat’ or ‘burning anger.’ The earth will be judged by Adonai with bowls of wrath similar to how He judged Egypt and her gods with plagues.
Revelation Chapter 15 – Song of Moshe
144,000 harpists sing their spontaneous song of praise, the Tabernacle in heaven opens and seven angels with seven plagues come out. These harpists are dressed in clean, white linen with gold belts around their chests. The Hebrew word for clean is tahor and means ‘pure’ and ‘clean.’ This is a purity that is ritually ‘clean’ according to Adonai’s Torah. When they come out of the Tabernacle, they become the object of reverent fear as they wait to receive their military orders from their Commander. Each of the seven messengers is given a bowl filled with the fury of Adonai.
