Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and receive of her plagues

Many a precious and scared, baby christian in the west is waiting for the rapture, while in fact they are busy fornicating with the harlot.

3 “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

5 “For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 “Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.

7 “In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’

8 “Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

Revelation 18:3-8

Babylon is the world system, Hollywood and Wall Street if you would. (its not essentially American but the yanks do take things to new heights).

God said we should NOT LOVE THE WORLD,

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

1 John 2:15-20

but the institutional church is just as obsessed with money as the unbelievers are. Baby Christian are told that God needs huge sums of money for world evangelism while statistics show that less than 10% of church budgets flow to evangelism or the poor.

Evangelism is accomplished by obedient believers, not money.

2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

3 “Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

4 “Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.

5 “But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’

6 “And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

7 “And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

8 “Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9 “And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

10 “But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

11 ‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’

12 “But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

Luke 10:2-12

SO

Instead of fearfully and lustfully waiting for the rapture maybe we should get out of Babylon, or at least get Babylon out of our hearts!

No?!

1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?

6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

James 4:1-10

16 “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

17 “These things I command you, that you love one another.

18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

19 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

John 15:16-19

God is breaking Babylon as He always has. Can you handle that?
