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.

Stunning book.

Sometimes the narrator Joe Jeffrey didn't know how to pronounce certain words which is annoying and i find is common among narrators in Audible not familiar with the topic. Otherwise good narration.

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.

Inspired and inspiring.

Joel is consistently true to scripture, and his interpretation of it's relevance in our time is as true as it is independent from most main-stream prophets during my lifetime. I have appreciated his informed and caring assessments in all his writings and look forward to eternity in fellowship with him and our Lord.

Must read

As is, with the rest of Joel Richardson’s work well written, researched, and documented. This is a good companion to the Islamic Antichrist. There are many challenges facing the church today, but this one will soon become the biggest so now is the time to get equipped.
