2026-04-15 Revelation 17 Wednesday Part 1

Pastor Bob Larson of Calvary Chapel Caldwell delivers a prophetic exposition of Revelation 17, framing the 'great harlot' as a symbol of a global religious system—Babylon—that has corrupted world powers and deceived humanity through false worship. He traces the origins of this system back to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, emphasizing how religious rebellion against God has evolved into a self-centered, idolatrous system that persecutes true believers. Drawing on statistics from Open Doors, Pastor Bob highlights the escalating global persecution of Christians—380 million facing persecution, thousands murdered annually, and hundreds of thousands forced from their homes—underscoring that the church has always been under attack, especially in the end times. He contrasts this with the relative safety of Western nations like Idaho, where faith is often reduced to cultural identity rather than radical discipleship, and warns that the rise of a one-world religion and government will be enabled by a fusion of political and religious deception. The episode ends with a call to vigilance, spiritual awakening, and support for the global church.
