REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Five - Carrying Out God's Thought -Continue

 Again Jehovah uses human rulers in executing judgment:  "For God put into their hearts to carry out his though, even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God wil have been accomplished." (Revelation 17:17)   What is God's thought." To arrange for the executioners of Babylon the Great to band  together, in order to destroy her completely. Of course, the ruler' motive in attacking her will be to carry out their own one thought." They will feel that it is in their nationalistic interests to turn upon the great harlot.  They may come to view the continued existence of organized religion within their boundaries as threat to their sovereignty. But Jehovah will actually be maneuvering  matters; they will carry out  his thought by destroying his age-old, aduterous enemy  at one stroke! - Compare Jeremiah 7:8-11, 34.
