I had my first Bible when I was 16 yrs. old and read the whole book of Revelation. I came from a very religious family having relatives who are priests and nuns. From the time I read the whole book, I got so scared and started seeking for the truth. 14 yrs later I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. Thank you Pastor Gary for a very clear and concise explanation of the book.
Pastor Gary I can finally understand the book of Revelation through your teachings. I wish I could visit your church but I live in Washington state. I'm praying for you.
I am writing this 3 years after this was first broadcast here, and while it is a great blessing, I feel that there has been so much distress in the world that is continually ramping up, and this sheds more light on these prophesies. I’d love to hear how Rev. Hamrick might adjust his teaching for 2024. At any rate, I am thoroughly enjoying this study, and understanding how the end could play itself out. Jesus is Lord!
Just started my 2nd week at my new company, national storage affiliates. Praise the lord indeed! Out of a toxic work environment and into a joy of a company. So far...wish me luck!
Thanks for helping me to understand this book of Revelation. God bless you. I wish I lived in your area I would attend your church and be part of every bible study. 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much for walking us through Revelation. I also listen to your current Wed and Sun serves. I wish you were closer to us. We live in Richmond.
Please read it for yourself & ask the Holy Spirit to show you where Babylon really is 🙏 Mystery Babylon isn’t really a mystery if you read it with spiritual eyes to see...
@@kimgracik2418 So how can you not see the correlations to America!? None of what it says makes sense to say Babylon is in the Middle East. I pray the Holy Spirit reveals the truth to you🙏
Thank you! You are probably the closet of any preacher who actually gets scripture. Sorry that I said you fumbled, you didn't completely fumble chapter 17. (that Semiramis bull crap just sets me on edge) You did a great job! I wish more pastors would follow your example and leave that Hislop crap in the garbage can.
Seven mountains or seven continents. North America with two kings, for example, prime minister of Canada and President of USA. Central America will be added to be ruled under North America, which is in first steps now.
I heard once that this description of the burning of Babylon had a near fulfillment in Prophesy when Pompeii was buried from the eruption on Mt Vesuvius. This was in addition to the end times application. I don't know if it's true but it is fun to consider.
So what about the people who choose to live this life now knowing about God but choosing to live in sin does that mean they can live how ever and repent later in the tribulation period just trying to clarify because a lot of people believe they can live how they want and repent later
They will have a opportunity to repent but they will likely go through tribulations. We don’t want anyone to go through it if they will turn to God now and ask him to be there Lord and savior now.
It could be true. However, they most likely will die before the trib. If they are alive, God listens to the heart, not words. They are assuming that they can fool God. Very bad plan.
Well isn't the Vatican it's own Church, city, state and Country? And it's archdiocese does sit on many waters. And it has covered up a lot of misconduct over the centuries.
It is said that the description of Babylon is also the description of Rome...it sits on many waters. The description of the Pope's attire is the same description of the lady's attire. Many religions came out of Rome, they are rooted in Rome. Vatican city dictates a lot of things that churches should or shouldn't do...
Babylon is a system creating dependency on the government for everything as opposed to on God. It is the connection to worship of the occult. At end times, control of the world will come through the Vatican in Rome but only for 3.5 years when rulers of the 10 kingdoms will tire of Rome, and someone representing the Beast will rise to power and Rome will be destroyed. The Beast will rule for 3.5 years, at which point those of faith will be removed from going through the Great tribulation that comes on the earth.
I love all your videos I love all your teachings I’ve sent another questions and comments and I just feel like you’re always open to hear whatever people have to say… So that being said… I was curious about what you said About there only been one reference or one verse reference to Rome and Babylon and I was wondering why that doesn’t apply To all the other verses about Babylon? Just as the women in ministry verse there’s really only one reference of that if there’s many references of leaders in the Bible who are women obviously in the Old Testament and some in the new…Also wondering if you noticed about the “brics” and how references teaching? Thanks Pastor Greg for your teachings are for being open for dialogue and for answering questions…
It's (the usage of Babylon) both symbolic and literal, and that applies to the Old Testament usages of it too. It is more symbolic than literal though in most cases. Which is important to know if one wants to understand the teaching.
A lot of things are symbolism till they’re fulfilled, then we start to realize how much God actually revealed to us so we would be prepared for His return. Revelation 18 mentions one hour in 3 separate places verses 10, 17 and 19. Prophetic time of one day for a year found in Ezekiel 4:6 tells us that one hour is 15 days. Jewish years were 360 days divided into 24 hrs = 15 days. So prophetically one hour is 15 days . Does the expression, “ We need 15 days to flatten the curve ,” sound familiar to you. And during this 15 days no one could buy the merchandise, not just those with the mark ( see verse 11) . During this time the great men of the earth forced their pharmaceuticals/ sorceries on all nations as a deception because they actually don’t prevent. And now the people are having to come out of all of the churches because of the influx of alphabet soup issues. See verses 4-5. Compare all this to Jeremiah 51 which is the sister chapter to Revelation 18 : two witnesses or warnings, one in the Old and one in the New Testament . Jeremiah 51:46 actually told us the Length of the shut down would be two years and the side effect of heart failure. Verse 51 tells us that we would be wearing veils( shame is not in the Hebrew version, veils is) . It also says that strangers would enter God’s sanctuaries and the churches would attempt to take power that belongs to God / Speak as if they are God , but God will spoil / destroy them. See Revelation 19 and 20 for the rest of the story .
@@Heavensoon7 Would you be so kind to help me in understanding how Ezekiel 4:6 relates to the time of one hour as referenced in Rev 17:12 equates to 15 days? I do not see what you see. I appreciate the time you will take to answer my question. I studying Revelation right now and could use some help!! Thank you!
@@donnabacon4681 Sure a Jewish year in the Bible was 360 days and every so many years they would add an extra month( just like we have leap years) . Using one day = one year principle for prophecy as set forth in Ezekiel chapter 4 , 360 days / one year divided by 24 hours in a day = fifteen days. Prophetically speaking one hour is 15 days.
@@donnabacon4681 Chapter 18 of Revelation starts with a repeating of Revelation 14:8 , the second angel’s message for the first 3 verses. Compare verses 1 and 2 to Jeremiah 5: 26-27, and 51:8 ; Isaiah 13:19, 14:23, and 21:9-10.

@@donnabacon4681 Starting with verse 4 , Revelation 18 another voice is speaking , not that of the second angel, but of Jesus Christ. He calls us his people and tells us to come out of the Apostate churches (wicked woman) and wicked world ( city of Babylon ) . We see this @ Jesus’s first advent when the angels could only find shepherds and gentiles (wisemen )to relate Christ’s advent to because they were the only people actually studying and looking forward to His arrival. This verse compares with Jeremiah 12: 14-15; 51 : 6 and 51:45; Isaiah 52:11 and 54:7

Why haven’t you addressed the parallels between America & Babylon!? It seems so obvious & highly suspicious when people ignore the glaring similarities to U$A. “Mystery Babylon” which isn’t a mystery if you read it yourself & ask the Holy Spirit to show you 🙏
It looks to most Christians that America has fallen long before the end times. It is not referenced ever in the Bible. The US is self destructing now. It is easy to see that America will fall soon, and before the end times.
Chuck Johnson the USAmericans are so spiritually blinded they refuse to see themselves as ungodly. But those who diligently seek with prayer for understanding the truth of his Word AS HE WOULD HAVE US KNOW the Holy Spirit will guide into all truth.
Sin nature? Christians who are born of the Spirit are a New Creation, they do not have a sinful nature, yes they sin & still have the flesh that wants to war with the Spirit but they have a new nature where they cannot sin because Christs Spirit is at one with our Spirit, our body( flesh ) can but that is not our nature we do not want to even though we struggle with it We are a New Creation, we are not sinners as Christians but we do struggle with the flesh that is a big difference If we are still calling ourselves sinners when we are saved, why get saved

If the you think Babylon is a literature city, do you think Babylon will be rebuilt - as opposed to Rome being "Babylon"?
He didn't name the city. Is it New York, Los Angeles, or a city which is yet to develop into such an influential city as described in this chapter?
Amen!
So what about the people who choose to live this life now knowing about God but choosing to live in sin does that mean they can live how ever and repent later in the tribulation period just trying to clarify because a lot of people believe they can live how they want and repent later
But we all are not promised tomorrow and if you die suddenly then it will be too late! But I can see what you are saying
How do they know they won't die today and not have a chance to repent before the tribulation?.
They will have a opportunity to repent but they will likely go through tribulations. We don’t want anyone to go through it if they will turn to God now and ask him to be there Lord and savior now.
