Evil is Defeated (6 of 7)
Series: The Whole Story of the Bible
Scott Maze
Revelation 18
Today and next Sunday, we'll see the Tale of Two Cities. Have you cut down a large tree where someone shouts out, ''Watch out! It's going to fall!'' And moments after he says this, you watch a large tree first creep slowly to the earth and then pick up speed. It stood aright for so many years and it fell in a matter of seconds.
Series Preview
We're doing a series on God's Big Story where we are tracing the central story line of the Bible. The aim of this series is to see the big picture of the Bible. I want to offer a bird's eye view, if you will.
The Bible's story can be unpacked in these four sentences:
God made the world.
We rebelled against our ruler.
God reentered the world to redeem us.
And God will remake the world.
We traced the primordial pivotal points of the Bible's storyline in Genesis from God's actions before anything came into existence to His placing of Adam and Eve in a lush, pristine, perfect garden. We watched carefully as the First Couple ''cut their own path.'' We witnessed their rebellion bring misery into the world. And we were surprised that God kept His hand on the world and did give us up to our choices and desires. Instead, He promised to crush the head of the evil serpent, Satan and He promises to start over again with His chosen man, Abraham (Genesis 3:15; 15:1f). Hope emerged like the phoenix rising from the ashes. So climb on top of the observation deck with me and let's get a better perspective of the Bible before us.
Today's Scripture Passage
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice, ''Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
