Spiritual Seduction

Babylon the Great - also known as The Great Prostitute - is quite prominent in the book of Revelation. Whoever or whatever or wherever she is, she is addressed from chapters 14 through nineteen and much is made of God's judgment of her.

So who is she and what are we supposed to do about her?

Beware! She is a seductress who lures people to destruction!

Proverbs 7:21–27(ESV)

²¹With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. 

²²All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast 

²³till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. 

²⁴And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. 

²⁵Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, 

²⁶for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng. 

²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
