Revelation 17-18 are indeed part of the holy Word of God and merit our careful and whole-hearted attention. As God promises for all the book of Revelation...“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy” (Revelation 1:3). These two chapters concern “Babylon” and its final judgment. Broadly speaking, Revelation 17 concerns religious/political Babylon, while Revelation 18 concerns commercial/material Babylon.
