🔥 Session 1: What Is Babylon?

Session Goal: To understand what Babylon is in Scripture — not just as a place, but as a spiritual system and end-time deception. This is the foundation for all future sessions.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Revelation 17:1–6 – The great prostitute and Mystery Babylon
• Genesis 11:1–9 – The Tower of Babel: the original rebellion
• Isaiah 47:8–10 – Babylon’s arrogance and judgment

🧩 Core Teaching

What Is Babylon?
Babylon is:

• A literal city in ancient history (Babylon in Iraq)
• A symbol of rebellion against God (from Babel onward)
• A spiritual system of false worship, corruption, luxury, and persecution in the end times

🏛️ Its Three Faces

1. Religious Babylon – False worship, idolatry, unity without truth
2. Economic Babylon – Greed, luxury, injustice, exploitation
3. Political Babylon – Power without submission to Christ

Babylon is the counterfeit of the Kingdom — a global system ruled by human pride and spiritual seduction.

🔍 Session Questions

1. According to Revelation 17, what are the main characteristics of Mystery Babylon?
2. Why do you think God called her a “harlot” rather than simply a kingdom?
3. Where do you see Babylon’s influence today — in media, business, education, or even churches?
4. In what ways might Babylon be alive in your own thinking, desires, or habits?

Session 2 – The Spirit of Seduction: How Babylon tempts, deceives, and ensnares the saints — and how to break free.

🔥 Session 2: The Spirit of Seduction

Session Goal: To understand how Babylon operates through subtle seduction, not just overt rebellion. This session equips believers to identify the tactics used by Babylon to lure God’s people into compromise.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Revelation 18:3 – “All nations have drunk the wine of the wrath of her fornication…”
• Proverbs 7 – The seductive voice of the harlot
• 1 John 2:15–17 – The lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life
• James 4:4 – “Friendship with the world is enmity with God.”

🧩 Core Teaching

How Does Babylon Seduce?
Babylon doesn’t conquer with armies — she seduces with desire:

• The love of pleasure over purity
• The promise of prosperity without repentance
• The approval of man instead of faithfulness to God

“You can have both. You don't need to choose.” – The seductive whisper of Babylon

Key Principle: Babylon doesn't just tempt sinners — she targets saints.

🛑 Signs You're Being Seduced:

• You tolerate what once troubled you.
• You pursue God and something else for identity (money, fame, security).
• You stop speaking truth to avoid offense.
• You justify sin as “freedom.”

🔍 Session Questions

1. How does Babylon’s seduction differ from outright persecution?
2. Where do you see this spirit most in our culture? In media? Church? Personal life?
3. How does Proverbs 7 portray the tactics of seduction?
4. What defenses has God given us against spiritual seduction?

🙏 Prayer Moment: "Break the Hold"

“Deliver me, O Lord, from the snare of the fowler…” – Psalm 91:3

Session 3 – The Counterfeit Church: How Babylon builds a religious system that uses Jesus’ name but denies His truth.

🔥 Session 3: The Counterfeit Church

Session Goal: To expose how Babylon builds a false religious system that imitates Christ but denies His truth — and to help believers discern spiritual counterfeits within today’s church culture.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Revelation 17:5 – “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots…”
• 2 Corinthians 11:3–4 – Another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit
• 2 Timothy 3:1–5 – “Having a form of godliness but denying its power”
• Matthew 7:15–23 – False prophets and false disciples

🧩 Core Teaching

Babel was man’s first false religion. It united people under a spiritual system without obedience to God. Babylon in Revelation represents the final version of this: a global, religious unity without the cross, without truth, and without repentance.

🚨 Signs of the Counterfeit Church

• Talks about Jesus but avoids His Lordship
• Preaches love but refuses truth
• Promises blessing but not obedience
• Affirms sin in the name of inclusion
• Partners with worldly power instead of the Holy Spirit

Babylon doesn’t replace the Church — she imitates it, then corrupts it.

🔍 Session Questions

1. Why is spiritual deception more dangerous than physical persecution?
2. What’s the difference between a church that is “loving” and one that is “compromised”?
3. Have you seen examples of churches mixing truth with worldly influence?
4. What safeguards can help you discern a genuine spiritual voice from a counterfeit one?

🛡️ Discernment Exercise: True Church vs. False Church

🙏 Prayer Moment: "Expose the Mixture"

“For judgment must begin at the house of God…” – 1 Peter 4:17

• Ask the Holy Spirit to show you any compromise you've accepted in spiritual teachings.
• Pray for discernment to recognize the true voice of Jesus.
• Ask for courage to stand against religious mixture — even if it's popular.

🗣️ Group Discussion Prompts

• What does a “form of godliness” look like in today’s churches?
• What false teachings are most common in Christian media today?
• How can we speak truth without becoming bitter or accusatory?

Session 4 – Come Out of Her: The call to separation is not legalism — it is covenant faithfulness.

🔥 Session 4: Come Out of Her

Session Goal: To understand God’s call to His people to separate from Babylon — not geographically, but spiritually. This is not legalism or fear — it’s covenant loyalty.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Revelation 18:4 – “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins...”
• 2 Corinthians 6:14–18 – “Be separate... and I will receive you.”
• Isaiah 52:11 – “Depart, depart, go out from there!”
• John 17:14–17 – “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”

🧩 Core Teaching

Separation is not isolation — it is distinction. God’s people live in Babylon (the world), but they must not become of Babylon (its system).

To “come out” means to:

• Reject spiritual compromise
• Resist cultural conformity
• Return to full devotion to Jesus

We don’t separate because we’re afraid — we separate because we’re loyal.

🔍 Session Questions

1. What does it mean to be “in the world but not of it”?
2. Why does God warn His people to come out of Babylon?
3. How can we resist legalism while still pursuing holiness?
4. Where do you feel the most pressure to conform to Babylon’s ways?

🛡️ Discernment Exercise: Babylon’s Influence Audit

Ask the Holy Spirit to search these areas:

• Entertainment: Am I desensitized to sin through what I watch or listen to?
• Values: Do I prioritize comfort, money, success over truth?
• Speech: Do I stay silent on truth to avoid being labeled?
• Relationships: Do I compromise to keep peace with those who are hostile to God?

🙏 Prayer Moment: "I Will Come Out"

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10

• Ask the Lord to make you spiritually “set apart” — pure, bold, and faithful.
• Repent of areas of compromise or mixture.
• Pray for courage to stand apart even if it costs you reputation or comfort.

🗣️ Group Discussion Prompts

• How do we come out of Babylon without becoming judgmental or isolated?
• What does healthy, Spirit-led separation look like?
• What is God asking you to lay down or walk away from in this season?

Session 5 – Babylon in Me: The call to come out isn’t just external — it begins with the heart. What if Babylon isn’t only around us, but within us?

🔥 Session 5: Babylon in Me

Session Goal: To recognize that the call to “come out of Babylon” is not just external — it begins with our hearts. Before Babylon is judged in the world, it must be judged in the Church and in the believer.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Isaiah 47:10–11 – “You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me…’”
• James 4:4–10 – “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?”
• Psalm 139:23–24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart…”
• Revelation 3:17–18 – “You say, ‘I am rich…’ but you do not realize you are wretched, poor, blind, and naked.”

🧩 Core Teaching

Babylon is not just around us — it can be in us. Babylon is a spirit of pride, self-will, and independence from God. Before we confront the world, we must confront ourselves.

🧠 Signs of Babylon in the Heart:

• Prayerlessness — living as if God’s help isn’t needed
• Self-centeredness — “I am, and there is no one besides me”
• Compromise — obeying God when convenient
• Spiritual apathy — loving pleasure more than holiness

God will not cast Babylon out of the world until we let Him cast Babylon out of the Church.

🔍 Session Questions

1. Why is self-examination essential before spiritual warfare?
2. Which attitudes or habits in your life reflect the Babylon spirit?
3. What does true humility look like in this season of preparation?
4. What’s one area of “mixture” you’re ready to surrender?

🛡️ Discernment Exercise: A Babylon Detox

Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal any of the following:

• Speech: Do I speak from the flesh or the Spirit?
• Priorities: Is Jesus truly first?
• Entertainment: Does what I watch reflect Kingdom values?
• Appetite: Do I crave the Word more than the world?

🙏 Prayer Moment: “Purge Me”

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10

• Confess pride, self-dependence, or apathy.
• Ask for a fresh hunger for God’s presence and truth.
• Pray for the fear of the Lord to return to your walk.

🗣️ Group Discussion Prompts

Session 6 – Preparing for Collapse: When Babylon falls, the world will mourn — but the Bride must be ready to rise. This session prepares us for what comes next.

🔥 Session 6: Preparing for Collapse

Session Goal: To prepare believers for the coming fall of Babylon’s system — spiritually, economically, and culturally — and to anchor them in Christ’s unshakable Kingdom.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Revelation 18:9–11 – “The kings of the earth... will weep and mourn over her...”

• Matthew 25:1–13 – The wise and foolish virgins

🧩 Core Teaching

The fall of Babylon is inevitable — and imminent. Her systems are built on deception, greed, and rebellion. God will judge her swiftly. The question is not “if,” but “are we ready?”

🕯️ The Collapse Will Include:

• Economic systems (Rev. 18:11–19) — wealth and commerce shaken
• Religious alliances — global false unity shattered
• Political structures — world powers destabilized
• Moral order — truth exchanged for delusion

Babylon will fall in a day. The wise Bride prepares in the night.

🔍 Session Questions

1. Why do the merchants and kings mourn Babylon’s fall in Revelation 18?
2. What would spiritual preparedness look like in a time of global shaking?
3. Are you more focused on protecting your comfort or preparing your spirit?
4. How does Matthew 25 call us to respond in the midnight hour?

🛡️ Discernment Exercise: End-Time Readiness Inventory

Check your posture:

• Oil of intimacy – Do I walk daily with the Lord in prayer and Word?
• Alertness – Am I aware of the times, or distracted by the world?
• Community – Am I walking with other believers or isolated?
• Obedience – Am I doing what God has already asked of me?

🙏 Prayer Moment: “Ready Me, Lord”

“Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning...” – Luke 12:35

• Pray for a heart that watches and waits with joy, not fear.
