|Apocalipse 17:3|
Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 66:17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 66:17:5 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 66:17:6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 66:17:7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 66:17:8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. 66:17:9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 66:17:10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 66:17:11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. 66:17:12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.

|Apocalipse 17:13|
They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 66:17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” 66:17:15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 66:17:16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 66:17:17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled. 66:17:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” 66:18:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendour. 66:18:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil [Greek: unclean] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 66:18:3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” 66:18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

BOA IDEIA
SALMOS 51-55
Você acha que Deus ouve a oração de uma pessoa quem tem bastantes pecados? Se Deus não ouvisse e não desse atenção à oração de uma pessoa muito pecadora, não sei o que o Salmo 51 estaria fazendo na nossa Bíblia. Já leu esse salmo? Ele é o desabafo de um grande pecador que tinha acabado de mentir, cobiçar as coisas alheias, desonrar os pais, roubar, trair o melhor amigo, dormir com a esposa do melhor amigo, engravidá-la, assassinar o melhor amigo, tomar o nome de Deus em vão e outras coisas como deus de seu coração, acima do Senhor Deus dos Céus. Quebrou praticamente todos os mandamentos.
E agora? O que fazer? Pra onde correr? É como criança que faz arte. E por fazer algo errado, sairá da casa do Pai? Onde viver? Deus é o que mais entende isso. Então, haveria alguma situação em que seria possível Deus não atender a oração de alguém que está em pecado? Para isso, precisamos entender o que é estar em pecado.
De acordo com 1João 3:4, pecado é a transgressão da lei. E o que desvia o ouvido de ouvir a lei (transgredindo-a), até sua oração será abominável (Provérbios 28:9). Porque o pecado é alienação - faz uma separação entre o homem e Deus (Isaías 59:2). Se ficarmos abraçados com ele, acariciando-o, será essa barreira que bloqueia nossa oração. Mas, se confessarmos os nossos pecados, Ele é fiel e justo para nos perdoar os pecados e nos purificar de TODA injustiça (1João 1:9). Acheguemo-nos, portanto, confiadamente, junto ao trono da graça, a fim de recebermos misericórdia e acharmos graça para socorro em ocasião oportuna (Hebreus 4:16).
E se uma pessoa era muito pecadora, se converte, pediu perdão e foi perdoada, o que acontece? A Bíblia é clara em afirmar que Deus não leva em conta o tempo da ignorância, quando alguém pecou sem ter o claro esclarecimento do mal que estava fazendo (1Timóteo 1:13; Atos 17:30). Quando alguém se converte, as coisas passadas são esquecidas. Numa novidade de vida, a pessoa é uma nova criatura (2 Coríntios 5:17). Depois dessa conversão, não voltemos às práticas anteriores (1Pedro 1:14), porque a um pecador arrependido, nem o próprio Jesus, que nunca pecou (Hebreus 4:15), condena (João 8). “Filhinhos meus, estas coisas vos escrevo para que não pequeis. Se, todavia, alguém pecar, temos Advogado junto ao Pai, Jesus Cristo, o Justo; Se confessarmos os nossos pecados, ele é fiel e justo para nos perdoar os pecados e nos purificar de toda injustiça” (1João 2:1; 1:9).
Independentemente de qualquer pecado, se nos entregamos a Deus, somos redimidos e aceitos por nosso Senhor.
