The Future Church: Rise of the Scarlet Harlot.Written by the Apostle John approximately 1,929 to 1,930 years ago (circa AD 95–96), during his exile on the Isle of Patmos. Revelation 17 unveils a vivid and symbolic vision of spiritual corruption and global deception through the imagery of the “great whore” riding upon a scarlet-colored beast. This chapter pulls back the curtain on a future religious system—often referred to as “Mystery Babylon”—which will unite political, economic, and spiritual forces in rebellion against God. It represents the counterfeit church of the end times: seductive, powerful, and spiritually adulterous.The world is being prepared for a final religious deception—an inclusive, global faith that appears peaceful but is rooted in rebellion against God. It will unite people under the guise of spirituality but will reject the exclusive claims of Christ.The system is seductive, influential, and will be used by the Antichrist for control. But this false religion will ultimately be judged and destroyed. God’s truth will prevail, and only those rooted in Christ will stand.
