The final major member of Team Dragon is a prostitute called "Babylon" in Revelation 17. Bible scholars universally agree that Babylon represented Rome in the first century, but it's also a metaphor for every future group, organization, or nation that operates in the same violent, greedy, idolatrous way. The more we understand the qualities and character traits of Babylon, the more we can be on guard against those kinds of influences in our lives and in our congregations.
