Rank #8: Are you listening?
Self-reliance rather than reliance of God is a trap that can lead to a “lukewarm”ness in our relationship with Jesus Christ & fruitless living. This is distasteful to Him but rather than spitting us out, He lovingly calls us to repentance and intimate relationship.

That cosmic battle manifests itself in military and economic power. Babylon is the beast that shows up in every history. All secular powers eventually become Babylon. Twist: 666 is not a stamp but an allegiance to the power of Babylon. The church resists!
