Key Scripture: Revelation 17:1-6 (NKJV)
"Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, ‘Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.’ So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement."

Introduction: The Call of God’s Judgment
In a world ravaged by sin, deceit, and perversion, the Living God has made a profound declaration: He has declared war.
This war is not a mere clash of armies but a spiritual and moral battle against a generation that has chosen to walk in pride, rebellion, and defiance. The battle is against false prophets, deceptive teachings, and the prideful hearts of those who refuse to repent. God’s declaration is clear: He will bring down the proud, expose the lies, and vindicate the righteous. As we examine this war, let us understand its gravity and the power of the Living God who is orchestrating it.

The War Against a Corrupted Generation
The scripture from Revelation warns of a corrupt generation, one led astray by falsehoods and pride. God, in His wrath and fury, has declared war against this generation and its deception. It is a war not just against external enemies but also against the spiritual corruption that has taken root in the hearts of men. The world is intoxicated by falsehood and sin, and God’s wrath is poised to purge the land.
Revelation 17:1-6 serves as a vivid picture of the harlot, representing the corrupted system that has led people into sin. She is adorned in finery but filled with abominations, a symbol of external beauty masking internal rot. God declares war against this falsehood, promising that it will not stand.

The Reality of God’s Wrath and Justice
God’s wrath is not a mere reaction to the sins of men; it is a righteous judgment upon a people who have openly rebelled against His truth.
The prideful and the rebellious will be brought low. This is not a time for men to boast in their own strength or wisdom, for God will humble the proud and exalt the humble. His judgment is just, and His truth will prevail.
In a world where sin has been tolerated for so long, many have grown complacent. They have mocked God’s commands and continued in their sin, believing that they will not face consequences. But God’s judgment is coming, and no one can escape it. His word is powerful, and His will cannot be thwarted.

The Call for Repentance and Obedience
In the midst of God’s declaration of war, there is still hope for those who are willing to repent. The Living God calls His people to come out from among the defiled and to walk in His light. It is a call to repentance, humility, and obedience. The righteous will find mercy, but the proud and rebellious will face the full force of God’s judgment.
Revelation 17:1-6 not only highlights the judgment of the harlot but also reminds us of the importance of standing firm in God’s truth. It is not enough to merely profess faith; one must live according to His commands, walking in the light and rejecting the ways of the world.
