Episode 1250: Is the world referenced in John 3:16, people?

Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we examine the fate of two cities, Jerusalem - the City of the Living God and Babylon - the City of Satan.

None other cities are mentioned or are as prominent in scriptures like Jerusalem and Babylon. We are introduced to these two cities in their native forms.

As the scriptures does always, it list that which is rejected first. Babel comes to life in Genesis chapter 10. It's founder, Nimrod the hunter of men's souls, was the first world ruler who was under the direct influence of Satan himself.

Next came Salem which came to life in the pages of scriptures in Genesis chapter 14. It's founder was not Abraham but Melchizedek the King of Righteousness who came and found Abraham.

What a contrast! Nimrod led a rebellion against God while God became a Savior for Abraham even after it looked like he was a success here on the earth.

Next we take a look at the worlds. Worlds? Yes, friend. God created two worlds at the same time. He didn't reveal it to us until the Prophet Isaiah spoke about it. Yet it is there multiple times on the pages of scripture.

Why two worlds? Well that's what we are going to find out. What I can tell you is that it follows the pattern of the first being ungodly and the second being of God.

Tonight's study is 1 hour and 18 minutes in duration. I have broken it into nine segments. This is segment 5 of 9 titled Is the world referenced in John 3:16, people?
