REVELATION 17:1-6
17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 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. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH

6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- What are some examples of "drinking the kool aid" in our culture?
- Why do you think people can be so strongly influenced by the culture around them?
- The image of Babylon John sees is very striking. Why do you think he is shown Babylon in this way?
- Jeremy mentioned 4 values of Babylon - Pride, Power, Pleasure, and Progress. Where do you see these values in our culture today?
- In Revelation 18, God's people are urged to "come out" of Babylon. What might that look like for God's people today?
