Come Out of Her

The symbolic verse of Revelation 18:4 is indeed a verse that is addressed to the remnant of Israel. This verse speaks timeless truth as it shows that the coming tribulation is not meant for Israelites, nor are they to suffer the plagues of thetribulation.

“And their dead bodies shall lie in the street, of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” Revelation 11:8

In holy scripture Egypt is used as a symbol of worldliness, and a place for the Hebrew children to come out of. Sodom is a symbol of how Yahweh's people are to escape his wrath when he returns to install his heavenly kingdom here on earth. Symbolically the Messiah was crucified in Egypt and Sodom of the city of Babylon.

Also in scripture Babylon is symbolic of the new system of government that is coming in the last days, and you could really refer to it as the “New World Order”, which we already know mans new world order will not work. So when John wrote to the Israelites in Revelation he literally wrote to get out of her, and he was referring to the new world order and the chaos it creates now and during this time we call the tribulation.

What exactly does this thing we call Babylon that we are to try to avoid?

John refers to Babylon as having 3 parts “And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath” Rev 16:19.

Admittedly I am interjecting my opinion here and would love to hear other opinions, if they care to share. There are three things that are working to control minds of men in this world. The Babylonian system uses these 3 items and gives us two choices in each category to give us the illusion that we actually have choices and are in control of our lives. These three items to enslave the world are:

Politics: In politics you are given two choices. Are you liberal or are you conservative? Or you could be asked are you Democrat or are you Republican? It's true there are other choices beside these, but in reality other outside parties or thinking never take root in the two party system because they are not allowed to. There is no place in the bible that tells us to put our trust into a political two party system.

Religion: One definition of religion as I have heard it is that religion is an effort for man to reach out for God and of course we know that religion and true Christianity are two separate things. In this country you are given two choices Catholic or Protestant. There may be other choices by different names but in the end the world will want to corral you into one or the other. One quick way of telling if a church is a man made faith or not is if they just want you to sit there and not think. Does the person you listen to ask you to think on your own, research the subject he is teaching, or allow you to raise your hand and ask questions during his sermons or homilies? In most churches the answer is no. 

Lately the government has been promoting Islam over Christianity and I think it could very well be possible that within my lifetime the two choices of religion could be Christian or Muslim if the Catholics and Protestants merge. There is no place in the bible that tells us that we have to be a member of a religious denominational group and be put in a box where we are one faith or another. It can be easily proved that the Messiah hated the religion of men.

Money: Yes, even with money you are given the illusion of using two types of currency, plastic or cash. Both plastic and cash now contain RFID and are controlled by the Federal Reserve, and there's no privacy when it comes to Federal Reserve Notes. Prior to the development of Federal Reserve Notes real items were traded for other real items, it's called bartering. Even if you can argue they have always had the ability to use money instead of goods, money was still a commodity because gold and silver dollars was an exchange of bullion as the word dollar is a unit of weight for gold or silver. Today the word dollar means a digit in a bank account that you transfer over to another account with a piece of plastic. In other words the dollar is now a unit of nothingness that people will do any ungodly act for. Because of this the Messiah tells us you cannot serve both God and Mammon.

With these three things that make up the system and are trying to control us, it's interesting that they also work in a concerted effort to rely upon each other. 

I could easily use the analogy of a milking stool which has 3 legs and relies on the other two. If you take one leg away it stops functioning as a stool and collapses just like mans new world order will.

The following is true:

Modern politics without the support of religion or money would cease to exist. 

The first thing modern clergy do in their career is to get permission to preach by getting a tax exempt number fromthe Babylonian system. To have tax exemption, one cannot speak out against government policy, so you will never hear of a sermon that preaches against Sodomite marriage or Abortion for example. Any church that preaches against these are in danger of being closed at any time if the government doesn't like what they are doing. Of course they need money to buy stain glass windows, silver collection plates, and other items when it could be used to advance Yah's kingdom here on earth.

The fiat money system could never exist by itself either because we need the threat of violence or jail to force us to use something that in essence does not exist instead of bartering. 

What can you do to avoid this Babylonian system? 

 The Messiah gave us an example when he walked the earth, he wasn't involved in man made politics, religion, nor did he play the money game of just send in your donations and God will bless you like the modern television evangelists do today. When you are living in Gods system and follow the Messiah by giving ourselves completely over to him then the 3 things that support the Babylonian system suddenly fall apart in our lives and become meaningless. The less faith you put into mans corrupt systems the less plagues you will suffer. Could you imagine a world where everyone just ignored the false systems of man made politics, religion,, and money and simply followed Yah's law?

Praise the Lord!

Revelation 18:4 “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.”
