[:en]Scripture Reading: Revelation 18:1-10
Biblical Truth: In Asia Minor, Domitian’s persecution was still rampant but in this chapter, the torture and persecution of the suffering saints will come to an end. Their deaths will not be in vain.
The vision assured the suffering saints that God had remembered the crimes of Babylon. The demise of Babylon was swift. It only takes an hour (v. 10). Who would have thought of the Soviet Empire will be crumbling down and collapsed so swift?
Personal Application: Current wold powers and those who place their confidence in them will fall. Let us place ourselves safely in His hand for “God is our refuge and strength , an ever-[resent help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1)
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us not to depend on world power but only to trust in you.[:]
