Roman Catholics are correct when they say their faith was founded by Peter in Rome. But it wasn't the Apostle Peter.
"Men will readily rally around any one who can give the least appearance of plausibility to any doctrine that will teach them that they can be assured of happiness...though their hearts and natures are unchanged, and though they live without God in the world...” - Alexander Hislop, "The Two Babylons"
What you think the book of Revelation teaches determines how you live your life - are we to conquer the world for Christ or tread water until He rescues us on the last day? - and what you think the headlines mean. Do events in the Middle East prove we are on the brink of the end times? Is Antichrist about to be revealed? Is Armageddon around the corner?
This generation of Christians has been taught Futurism; that most of Revelation describes end-time events.
Futurism is a late 16th century Roman Catholic invention that was crafted to defend the Papacy against the claims of the Protestant Reformation. Sadly, most fundamentalists and evangelicals are unknowingly parroting Roman Catholic propaganda.
The historic Protestant view is that Revelation is a panorama of world history from the first century to the end of time. It reveals the rise and fall of nations, of Romanism, Islam, the Protestant Reformation, a future New World Order of one civil government and religion imposed upon the world. But it also reveals the final triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Christianization of all nations BEFORE the end of history.

“ Great Sermon! ” You quote Jude 6 as referring to the angels who were cast down w Satan. I didn’t realize those angels are kept in chains. I thought they are working w satan even now. So is Satan also chained now?
Look Gen 6. Here you will see “sons of God” who reproduce w women. These are the angels Jude referrs to. You will find that your systematic theology makes a lot more sense

“ Peter, Romanism, Satan & The Two Mystery Babylons ” More fine preaching on the book of Revelation, by Bill Mencarow, exposing Satan deceptions, which are widespread in most modern churches and all nations who continue to wonder after the beast (Revelation 13:3) in these days of great apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Revelation 18:4). All Christians will benefit greatly by listening to this whole series on Revelation, which is free in MP3 format at http://www.sermonaudio.com/go/ 769 on sermonaudio -- for "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand" (Revelation 1:3).
