66-60-6040. Your future lies in 6640. Sixty-six books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.

Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinania House and Koinania Institute.

Today's Bible teacher is Dr. Chuck Misler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.

In today's study, Dr. Misler continues his teaching on the Book of Revelation, Chapter 17 and 18.

With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Now again, harlotry is a form of false devotion.

That's the way it's being used here.

It's called the Great City, something like eight times.

and Tyre was called a harlot in its way, in Isaiah 23.

them narrowly in a biological sense, they're used in the scripture, not to exclude that, but broader

fornication or false affection, and the inhabitants of the earth

have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit,

into the wilderness, and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of the names of blasphemy,

having seven heads and ten horns., having seven heads and ten horns.

Now, these seven heads and ten horns are familiar idioms to the prophecy student from

Daniel chapter seven and other passages and several times in the book of Revelation already.

This beast, of course, is the one that was described in Revelation 13.
