|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;

SOBRE A CONDUTA CRISTÃ
Tito
Paulo escreveu uma cartinha não para Tito somente, mas para todos nós, que somos cristãos. Esta epístola, além de falar sobre a tarefa de Tito em Creta e de dar instruções a vários grupos, preocupa-se com a conduta cristã. E a preocupação com a conduta cristã é uma das nossas crenças fundamentais. Como membros do corpo de Cristo...
“Somos chamados para ser um povo piedoso que pensa, sente e age de acordo com os princípios do Céu. Para que o Espírito recrie em nós o caráter de nosso Senhor, só nos envolvemos naquelas coisas que produzirão em nossa vida pureza, saúde e alegria semelhantes às de Cristo. Isso significa que nossas diversões e entretenimentos devem corresponder aos mais altos padrões do gosto e beleza cristãos.
“Embora reconheçamos diferenças culturais, nosso vestuário deve ser simples, modesto e de bom gosto, apropriado àqueles cuja verdadeira beleza não consiste no adorno exterior, mas no ornamento imperecível de um espírito manso e tranqüilo. Significa também que, sendo o nosso corpo o templo do Espírito Santo, devemos cuidar dele inteligentemente. Junto com adequado exercício e repouso, devemos adotar a alimentação mais saudável possível e abster-nos dos alimentos imundos identificados nas Escrituras. Visto que as bebidas alcoólicas, o fumo e o uso irresponsável de medicamentos e narcóticos são prejudiciais a nosso corpo, também devemos abaster-nos dessas coisas.
“Em vez disso, devemos empenhar-nos em tudo que submeta nossos pensamentos e nosso corpo à disciplina de Cristo, o qual deseja nossa integridade, alegria e bem-estar (Nisto Cremos, 366)”.
“Pela comunhão diária com Deus, por Sua Palavra e pela oração, podemos resistir ao pecado e à tentação. Esses canais de comunicação com o Pai só podem ser encontrados em Cristo, pela habitação do Espírito de Deus. Em Cristo, podemos também desenvolver o verdadeiro caráter cristão através da nossa herança e comunhão uns com os outros e levando os fardos uns dos outros (Lição dos Jovens, 25-30 de dezembro de 2005)”.
A comunicação num relacionamento deve ser cooperativa. Isso significa que devemos não apenas ouvir a voz de Deus na leitura da Bíblia, mas também precisamos nos comunicar sinceramente com Ele. De acordo com Lemar Standiford, de Grand Terrace, EUA, “para construirmos um relacionamento forte com Deus, nossa comunicação com Ele não precisa ser uma via de mão única. Ao contrário, deve ser uma estrada movimentada percorrida por ambas as partes envolvidas. Isso significa ouvir... falar... ouvir... falar... ouvir”.
“Porque a graça de Deus se manifestou salvadora a todos os homens. Ela nos ensina a renunciar à impiedade e às paixões mundanas e a viver de maneira sensata, justa e piedosa nesta era presente (Tito 2:11-12)”.
