The Earth Drunk-Gone Mad!

[What God spoke to Jeremiah concerning the Babylon of his day

Parallels what is spoken of the Babylon in the Book of Revelation.

In fact I believe that God was not only speaking of the Babylon

Of Jeremiah's day but also of the final Babylon to come. Listen:]

'Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives!

Do not be destroyed because of her sins.

It is time for the Lord's vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.

Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord's hand;

She made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine; Therefore they have now gone mad.

Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.

Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.

We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed;

[When sin and godlessness reach a certain point there can be no healing.

This is what happened in the days of Noah, in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah and what will happen today, with the final Babylon.

The final Babylon is every nation, coming together as one kingdom,

Under one ruler, Satan.]

Let us leave her and each go to his own land,

For her judgment reaches to the skies, it rises as high as the clouds.'

The Lord has vindicated us;

'Come, let us tell in Zion what the Lord our God has done.'

(Jeremiah 51:6-10)

The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for His Temple.

Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon! Reinforce the guard,

Station the watchmen, prepare an ambush!

The Lord will carry out His purpose,

His decree against the people of Babylon

You who live by many waters and are rich in treasures,

[This very well could be spoken of the U.S.A.,

Who lives by many waters and is rich in treasures.]

Your end has come, the time for you to be cut off.

The Lord Almighty has sworn by Himself:

I will surely fill you with men, as with a swarm of locusts,

And they will shout in triumph over you.

He made the earth by His power;

He founded the world by His wisdom

And stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar;

He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.

He sends lightning with the rain

And brings out the wind from His storehouses.

Every man is senseless and without knowledge;

Every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.

[Today men have created many idols for themselves.].

His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them.

They are worthless, the objects of mockery;

When their judgment comes, they will perish.

He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these,

For He is the Maker of all things, including the Tribe of His Inheritance--

The Lord Almighty is His Name.(Jeremiah 51:11-19)

You are My war club, My weapon for battle--

With you I shatter nations,

With you I destroy kingdoms,

With you I shatter horse and rider,

With you I shatter man and woman,

With you I shatter old man and youth,

With you I shatter young man and maiden,

with you I shatter shepherd and flock,

With you I shatter farmer and oxen,

With you I shatter governors and officials.

'Before your [Zion] eyes I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylon

For all the wrong they have done in Zion [God's people].

'Declares the Lord.

I am against you, O Destroying Mountain,

You who destroy the whole earth,' Declares the Lord.

[Here we can tell God is not taking only about the Babylon of Jeremiah's day

But of the “final” Babylon, the Babylon of today,

As it is the one that destroys the whole earth.

The spirit that rules over Babylon is Satan; Babylon is his bride.]

'I will stretch out My hand against you,

Roll you off the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain.

No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone,

Nor any stone for a foundation,

For you will be desolate forever,' Declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 51:11-26)

[In the Book of Revelation the “Beast” and the ten kings destroy Babylon,

(Revelation 17:16-17).]

'Come out of her, My people! Run for your lives!

Run from the fierce anger of the Lord.

Do not lose heart or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land;

One rumor comes this year, another the next, rumors of violence in the land

And of ruler against ruler.

For the time will surely come when I will punish the idols of Babylon;

Her whole land will be disgraced and her slain will all lie fallen within her.

Then heaven and earth and all that is in them

Will shout for joy over Babylon,

For out of the north destroyers will attack her,' Declares the Lord.

Babylon must fall because of Israel's slain,

Just as the slain in all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.

You who have escaped the sword, leave and do not linger!

Remember the Lord in a distant land, and think on Jerusalem.'

'We are disgraced, for we have been insulted and shame covers our faces,

Because foreigners have entered the holy places of the Lords house.'

[The “Beast” sets up his abomination that causes desolation

In God's Temple. (2 Thessalonians 2:4)]

'But the days are coming,' Declares the Lord, when I will punisher her idols,

And throughout her land the wounded will groan.

Even if Babylon reaches the sky [potentially space travel]

And fortifies her lofty stronghold, I will send destroyers against her,'

Declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 51:45-53)

In the broadest sense Babylon is worldliness; the enemy of God.

The apostle John admonishes the saints:

'Do not love the world or anything in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15)

The apostle James says: You adulterous people,

Don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?

Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

(James 4:4)

We must all flee worldliness, the spirit of Babylon.

Today, the nations are raging against God; rushing to oblivion!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
