There is only one God. While that point may sound quite plausible and acceptable to us, there are many who live as if it is anything but truth. And Satan himself has made a career of establishing himself as what he believes to be a competitive alternative to God. He sees himself as a god, on equal terms with God Almighty, and won’t be satisfied until he replaces God as the only god. But as we will see in Revelation 18:1-8, Satan’s plan for world and cosmic domination is going to fall short – far short. His plans to supplant God will end in defeat. And all those who choose to associate themselves with his false kingdom, false messiah and false prophet, will find themselves facing the truth of God’s judgment and the coming reality of Christ’s Kingdom. Babylon, the earthly kingdom of the Antichrist during the tribulation period, will find itself destroyed and its former power and prominence lying in rubble. While the world deceives itself into thinking it can stand opposed to God and live to tell about it, the book of Revelation lets us know that the Lord our God alone is mighty.
