Revelation 17-18
I'm cursed with computer woes. It seems like everything that possibly could go wrong does go wrong when I use a computer. It doesn't matter if it's desktop, a laptop, or a smart phone-I'm cursed! My brother, who is a computer scientist for the government, has suggested that Satan attacks me in this area of my life and I own ''demonized'' computers. Consequently, I've wanted to perform some exorcisms. I'm even considering starting a support group for those oppressed by demonic technology.
Over the years, one of the trials I've been plagued with is: ''System Crash.'' A system crash is what happens when you're on your computer going about your business when suddenly your computer locks-up or freezes. Whatever image may be on the monitor is frozen and none of the buttons work. You can try hitting the keys, or clicking the mouse, but nothing fixes the situation. Often, if you're working on a document, you may lose all of your new information. A system crash is bad news! There is nothing you can do except shut the computer down and hope that when it reboots, or restarts, that everything will be okay again.
One day our world is going to experience the ultimate ''System Crash.'' The world system is going to lock-up and freeze. Everything will be lost . . . and no one will be able to fix the system because God is the one who will shut off the power. The question is: Are you and I living with this future reality in mind? Are we helping others live with this end in mind?
Today, your sermon order will be ''super-sized'' so you can grasp the flow of two important chapters. It is critical to recognize that Revelation 17 and 18 are parenthetic in that they don't advance Revelation chronologically. Instead, these chapters are an amplification of one of the main features of the tribulation: the place, function, and final judgment of Babylon. One out of ten verses ...
