Revelation 17, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #229: FAVOR

PASSAGE: The Woman on the Beast

MEMORY VERSE: "So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature" Galatians 5:16

NOTES: (v.3) "Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns."
(v.4) "The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries." <
(v.6) "I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus....The beast....will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction."
(v.9) "The seven heads [on the beast[ are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king."
(v.12) "The ten horns are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their authority to the beast."
(v.14) "They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
(v.15-18) Waters on which the prostitute sits = people/multitudes/nations/languages
Beast & ten horns hate prostitute, and will bring her to ruin
(v.17) "For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled."

ACT OF LOVE: Gave one of my classmates a hairtie when she didn't have one for the dance instructor that we had today!
Also, did a favor for my friend who wasn't able to access internet tonight but needed to get something done.
