Politics & Prostitutes (Revelation 17)

Vintage Church (Lodi, CA) Season 2025 Episode 41

In Revelation 17, we encounter one of the Bible’s most vivid and unsettling images — the great prostitute, Babylon the Great, riding the beast and seducing the nations. But beneath the imagery lies a timeless truth: the world’s systems of pleasure, prosperity, and power still war against the Lamb today.

In this message, Politics and Prostitutes: A Tale of Two Cities, Pastor Timothy unpacks the meaning of Babylon as more than an ancient empire — it’s the spirit of the age, the City of Man, contrasted with the City of God. Through Scripture, history, and modern parallels, we’re called to live as faithful exiles: in the world, for the city, but never of the world.

📖 Key Themes:

  • The Great Prostitute & the Spirit of Babylon
  • Pleasure, Prosperity, and Power: The World’s Three Lures
  • Covenant Unfaithfulness vs. Holy Fidelity
  • Daniel’s Model of Faithful Presence in Babylon
  • The City of Man vs. The City of God

🙌 Discover how to seek the welfare of your city without losing your soul — learning to love Babylon redemptively while keeping your allegiance to the Lamb.
