who is the instigator of the great rebellion against heaven, is bound and cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years, then follows the resurrection of the wicked and the final destruction of Satan and all the wicked and the final triumph and reign of Christ in this earth." Now brothers and sisters, there's an interesting part in here that you may not have caught first time through. Sister White here identifies what portion of the book of Revelation is present truth, what portion of the book of Revelation we're supposed to focus on at the end of the world. And in connection with those particular chapters, she mentions the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet, and these will be the focus of our series on Revelation 16 here today. But let me read this sentence again. The prophecies in the book of Revelation chapters 12 through 18 are being fulfilled. Now the reason I want to emphasize that, brothers and sisters, is in Adventism today there's many people that are spending their prophetic studies looking at the seals and the trumpets that come prior to Revelation 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. And what I'm suggesting to you here is that Sister White is lifting up the information that begins in chapter 12 with the overview of the great controversy, and then chapter 13, the healing of the deadly wound of the beast of Catholicism through the power of the United States, 14, the message that's going to identify this warning about receiving the mark of the beast, chapter 16, speaking of these three powers that lead the world to Armageddon, chapter 17, speaking of the relationship between the Ten King Confederacy, the one world government that's raised up at the end of the world which rules for one hour with Catholicism, and ultimately is destined to destroy Catholicism. This is present truth, and of course chapter 18 she includes because part of the story is always the final destruction of the enemy of God, modern Babylon. And if we would spend more time bringing the events of world history into relationship with these chapters in Revelation, I think our studies would be much more fruitful than trying to reapply prophecies that the pioneers and Sister White understood had previously been fulfilled in the earlier chapters of Revelation. Now if we're going to look at modern Babylon, and that is our study, we want to go back into the very beginning of the story of Babylon. When you're looking at a theme in the Bible, you want to go all the way to where that theme was first brought up and look at the characteristics associated with it and study them all the way through if you're going to understand the final revelation of that theme in the Bible. And what we're looking at is...
