✦ MADE SIMPLE

Those ten horns you saw on the beast? They're going to turn on the corrupt woman with pure hatred. They'll strip her of everything, leave her with nothing, completely destroy her, and burn what's left to ashes.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even evil turns on itself in the end — corruption always destroys corruption.

Revelation 19:2

His judgments are completely fair and right. He's brought justice against the corrupt system that poisoned the whole world with its betrayal, and he's gotten payback for all his people who were killed because of it.

Listen up — God's got his eyes on every corrupt nation, and he's going to wipe them off the map. But here's the thing: he won't completely destroy his people Israel, even when they mess up.

But you've completely lost your way. You've made so many people trip up and fall away from what's right. You've totally messed up the sacred promise I made with the priests, says the Lord who rules over everything.
