Lesson 12 (Mar 16-22), Judgment on Babylon

The Harlot Babylon

  1. Why would political powers be interested in associating with religious powers?
  2. If political powers would ally with the true religion would that be acceptable? Would forced worship on the seventh day (such as in Nepal), bring on God's seal?
  3. Why do we associate the term "drunk" with power?
The Harlot Riding on the Scarlet Beast
  1. Why is harlotry considered the extremity of sin?
  2. Why would a harlot be clothed in such colours as purple and scarlet? How much does colour reveal about a person?
  3. Why do people kill in the name of religion? Is there anything that causes more deaths than religion?
The Identification of the Scarlet Beast
  1. What makes ecumenism so attractive? 
  2. Why are Adventists so against ecumenism?
  3. Has the Adventist church isolated itself too much from other Christians?
The Seven Heads of the Beast
  1. Why is the Roman empire considered the last in history? What about the British Empire? The Spanish? The French? The Russian?
  2. Why is the European Union not considered in relation to Bible prophecy?
The Judgment of Babylon
  1. What will make the people realize in the end that they have been deceived?
  2. Do the leaders of false religions know that they are misleading people or are they convinced they have the truth?
