In this compelling episode of Revelation Revealed, Rob Dalrymple and scholar Jason Staples dive deep into one of the most provocative images in the book of Revelation: the Great Prostitute of chapters 17–18. Is she a representation of first-century Jerusalem, as Jason argues? Or is she Rome, the seductive embodiment of empire and consumerism, as Rob contends? This respectful yet honest conversation explores not only the historical and theological arguments but also the contemporary implications: How has the church today been seduced by the Prostitute’s allure? What does it mean to "come out of her" (Rev 18:4) in our context? Join us as we wrestle with Revelation’s powerful critique of empire and ask what faithfulness to the Lamb looks like in an age of excess and compromise.
