THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
The Beauty And The Beast
Adrian Rogers
I want you to be turning now to Revelation chapter seventeen, and tonight we're going to take just an overview of this chapter because we're going to have to spend quite a bit of time in this chapter.

But the devil's false church is pictured as a harlot. You see, James said in James chapter four and verse four that friendship with the world is warfare with God. And James prefaced that ...
