Come
out of confusion!
Revelation 18:1 ķAnd after these things I saw another angel
come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened
with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful
bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance
of her delicacies.
My
highlghted verses: 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.
Rev.
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.
In order for us to more fully understand this chapter
18 of Revelation we all need to go back and read the 50th and 51st chapters
of the Book of Jeremiah. It concerns Babylon and it will read much like
that which we shall read in Revelation 18 and it is relative to TODAY!
Have you read Jeremiah 50
and 51 yet? What are you waiting for?The
type has been set forth. Babylon is going to be the recipient of the LORD's
vengeance when He returns. The warning is clear... Come out of her!
Jeremiah
51:6
Flee out of
the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in
her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render
unto her a recompence.
[7] Babylon hath
been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken:
the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Come out of confusion! Do you
remember from chapter 16 who it is that the vials are poured out upon,
i.e. receives the 7 plagues? It is those who are
confused, deceived. It is those who do
not have the Seal of God in their foreheads! We just read Rev.
18:4 which documents that people can come out this religious confusion
and escape the plagues. How is it done? By
absorbing the truth of God's Word into their minds, which is in their foreheads,
thereby "sealing" themselves.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double
according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit
a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning,
and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the
Lord God who judgeth her.
9 ķAnd the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication
and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when
they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy
judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;
for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones,
and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all
thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of
most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and
horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from
thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee,
and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed
in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious
stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade
by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,
What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and
wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all
that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour
is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets;
for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone,
and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city
Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound
of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more
at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for
by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,
and of all that were slain upon the earth.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
