Revelation 17:1 (KJV) Between The Two

Revelation 17:1 (KJV)
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
What a contrast is presented in this chapter. The chapter begins a series of final judgments upon unbelievers. It culminates in
  • the beast 
  • the false prophet
  • the devil and 
  • all who have followed them 
being destroyed from the earth and cast eternally into torment. Yet this chapter starts out by saying that one of those judging angels:
  • Approached John
  • Talked with him and then
  • Took him alongside to view these final events
The phrased “talked with me” suggests something more intimate and friendly than that he just gave him information. There is partnership and comradeship.
And so we see the disparity between the believer and unbeliever. The one is in fellowship with the plan of God. The other is at enmity with it.
