Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Joel Richardson carefully explores what is arguably the greatest prophetic mystery in all of the Bible.

Mystery Babylon is an in-depth look at the prophecy of Revelation 17 and 18. Richardson dissects the longest prophecy in the New Testament, the final chapters of the Bible, in order to make sense of these deeply elusive and profoundly controversial passages.

At once a queen, a prostitute, and a cold-blooded killer, this great harlot waves a golden cup filled with blood. Adorned in purple and scarlet and gold and precious stones, she seduces the kings of the earth with luxury. Most commonly known, perhaps, is that she rides a beast with seven heads and 10 horns. Her title is Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of all harlots and of the abominations of the earth.

From the early days of Christianity, believers have struggled to understand the mystery of the great harlot. Scholars and students alike have arrived at many different conclusions.

In his characteristically easy-to-understand style, Richardson works through the history of Christian interpretation of Mystery Babylon, weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each view, making a powerful case for a solution to this prophecy that will rock the prophecy world.

Very well researched!

This is the best book on the evidence for the identity of the 'Great Harlot' of Revelation.

If you just want the end conclusions you can skip to the last three sections of the audio book, or listen from audio chapter 18 forward, but the prior information presents a case for why the other potential 'Great Harlots' are not the true 'Great Harlot' of the book of Revelation.

Another EXCELLENT book by Joel Richardson

Loved the well-referenced facts, this will stand the establishment on the heels (and the liberal church will be appalled)...but once heard with an open mind, it's impossible to deny.

Great conclusions, and as Daniel referenced...God hid his best stuff...in plain sight. For OUR time...what an awesome God we serve!

MYSTERY BABYLON

This Book was opened/started and never stopped until the end... it is very intriguing yet it gives you space to think on what is being said. To understand the Book of Revelation more you would do yourself a disservice if you dismiss this Book....a great great read...

A "must read" book

Thought provoking and timely. A comprehensive analysis that encourages the reader to study for themselves.

Save your time

Joel thinks the antiChrist will be Islamic and completely disregards the power of the occult through the secret societies. Yes Joel, the Masons are building a New World Order, that isn’t a conspiracy theory. You lost me here and your with defense of the Roman-pagan Catholic Church.

Dismissive but offers little perspective

This book dismisses nearly everyone’s theory but doesn’t provide much insight. Someone May read this and be more confused on the subject than before.

Very thorough investigation

I learned a lot listening to this book. Excellent teaching on OT and NT scriptures concerning the whore riding the beast and laying out a logical conclusion to Mystery Babylon that lives on the 7 hills. Hint...it’s not Rome

Richardson continues to build

Richardson continues to build upon his previous works in an extraordinary manner. The content discussed in this book is worth any serious christians attention.

Best understanding of mystery Babylon I've heard

this is the best understanding of mystery Babylon up I've ever heard I just can't believe that America would be mystery Babylon and I definitely cannot understand how Jerusalem could be mystery Babylon I see too many scriptures that contradict that.
