‏ Revelation of John 17:14

The Fall of Babylon

This section gives a preview of Babylon’s downfall, which will be described in more detail in the next chapter. It shows the final battle between the forces of evil and the followers of Christ. Even though the enemies of Christ seem powerful, the Lamb and His faithful people will win the victory. God’s plan is at work, even in the actions of kings and nations.

v. 14: The beast and his followers make war against the Lamb and His followers. To human eyes, the beast’s army looks much stronger than the Lamb’s. But the Lamb, who is Jesus, will overcome them. Christ will keep fighting until all His enemies are defeated, because He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet(1 Corinthians 15:25; Revelation 17:14 a).
