Come out of her, my people so that you will not share in her sins,
So that you will not receive any of her plagues;
For her sins are piled up to Heaven,
And God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
Pay her back double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
Give her as much torture and grief
As the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
Death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
For mighty is the Lord God who judges her. (Revelation 18:4-8)
Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:
She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned;
They did not help the poor and needy.
They were haughty and did detestable things before me.
Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. (Ezekiel 16:49-50)
Today, the God of Heaven is calling His people out of Babylon
Before she is done away with.
Babylon, the world system, the new world order,
The modern Tower of Babel,
Under the deception of the evil one
She has piled up sins that reach to Heaven.
She is about to receive what she has given and a double portion.
Like her sister is Sodom, she is arrogant, overfed and unconcerned;
She has done detestable things before God,
And is about to receive the same destiny;
She is about to be assailed with plagues, death, mourning and famine;
And ultimately, she will be consumed by fire,
By the hand of the Living God!
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world
To abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
Live such good lives among the pagans
That, though they accuse you of doing wrong,
They may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
(1 Peter 2:4-12)
The day of God's visitation is at hand.
We must be living as aliens and strangers in this world
As Perter admonishes;
We must abstain from sinful desires, which war against our souls.
We must overcome this world by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony.
Not loving this world so much as to shrink from death.
Christ Jesus says:
Behold, I come like a thief!
Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him,
So that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.'
(Revelation 16:15)
The clothing that the Lord speaks of here
Are the robes of righteousness He gives to His saints.
We are to be clothed with Christ.
One cannot be clothed with Christ,
Unless we are separate from the spirit of Babylon,
The spirit of the evil one, the spirit of the world he controls;
Separate from all forms of sin, as all sin is against God.
When the Lord comes nothing is hidden from His eyes;
He will “Passover” those who have applied His blood to their lives
And washed themselves clean.
We do this when, by the power of His Spirit living in and through us,
We abstain from sin in all its forms;
When we do not seek to gain our life in this life;
When we do not seek acceptance by this world that is gong to hell,
But rather seek His LIFE, and allow Christ to live in and through us;
Seeking first and above all His Kingdom and His righteousness;
Loving the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.
Loving the glory of Paradise that we were created for;
Loving its righteousness, peace and joy!
Let those who have ears, hear what the Spirit says to His people.
