The Last Babylon – Revelation 17
Introduction to the Study
Welcome, everyone! We are so glad to have you here tonight for our Midweek Study titled “The Last Babylon.” In tonight’s study, we will be exploring the fascinating and prophetic chapter of Revelation 17. This study is part of our ongoing series on the book of Revelation, titled “The King Is Coming.” So grab your Bibles, get comfortable, and let’s dive into the Word of God together!
Speaker: Pastor Bill Welsh
Before we begin, let me introduce myself. My name is Pastor Bill Welsh, and I have the privilege of serving as the pastor here at Refuge Calvary Chapel. I am passionate about teaching God’s Word and helping others grow in their relationship with Him. It’s an honor to be with you all tonight and share this study with you.
Date and Event Information
Tonight’s study was uploaded on April 24, 2024, marking it as a Wednesday Evening Study. We believe that gathering together as a church community, even in the middle of a busy week, is essential for our spiritual growth. So thank you for taking the time to join us tonight.
Using the Book of Revelation as the Scripture
In our study tonight, we will be focusing on the book of Revelation, the final book of the Bible. Revelation is a fascinating and often misunderstood book, filled with symbolic language and vivid imagery. But as we dive into Chapter 17, we will see that it unveils the identity and ultimate destiny of a mysterious entity known as “Babylon the Great.” This chapter is crucial in understanding the events that will unfold in the last days, leading up to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Including Songs with Credits
Throughout this video, you may have noticed that we included various songs. We want to give credit where credit is due and honor the talented artists who have created these beautiful worship songs. All the songs used in this study were used with permission and licensed accordingly. We appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into creating these powerful worship songs that help us draw closer to God.
Expressions of Gratitude and Prayer
Before we delve into the study, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude to God for His love and guidance. We are incredibly blessed to have such an amazing God who walks with us through all of life’s ups and downs. Prayer plays a crucial role in our gathering, and tonight, I want to encourage you to seek God’s presence as we study His Word together. Let’s take a moment to pray and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts.
Highlighting Community and Fellowship
One of the highlights of our church is the strong sense of community and fellowship that we share. We believe that we are not meant to walk this journey of faith alone but to be surrounded by brothers and sisters who can support and encourage us. I want to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of participating in fellowship and building relationships within the church. If you are new here, we would love to get to know you and help you find a place to connect and grow.
Upcoming Worship Night Event
I am thrilled to announce an upcoming worship night event that will be taking place soon. As followers of Jesus, worship is an integral part of our lives. It allows us to express our love, gratitude, and adoration for our Savior. This worship night will be a special time of singing, sharing, communion, and prayer. It will be an opportunity to experience the manifest presence of God and draw nearer to Him. I want to extend a heartfelt invitation to each one of you to join us for this worship night event.
Invitation to Attend Future Services
As we conclude this study, I want to thank all of you for attending and participating in our Midweek Study. It brings us great joy to see such a vibrant and hungry group of believers eager to learn and grow in their faith. We want to extend a warm invitation for you to attend our future services as well. Whether it’s our Sunday morning worship service, our youth gatherings, or our various ministries that cater to different age groups, we have a place for you here at Refuge Calvary Chapel.
In conclusion, I want to summarize the content we covered tonight. We focused on the last Babylon as described in Revelation 17, a significant chapter that sheds light on the events leading up to the return of Christ. Pastor Bill Welsh expertly guided us through the text, explaining its symbolism and implications for future events. Additionally, we expressed our gratitude for God’s love and guidance and highlighted the importance of prayer and community within our church. We also extended an invitation to an upcoming worship night event and encouraged attendees to join us for future services. Thank you for joining us, and may God bless you abundantly as you continue to seek Him.
