“And he (an angel) cried mightily with a strong voice,

saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen… 

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.”

Revelation 18:2, 4

Many Bible students read this above passage, and wonder, “What in the world can this possibly be talking about!?”

.

Perhaps it could be speaking of some city in Iraq, or perhaps the city which has recently sprung up called Dubai!

.

But for those who have discovered that the Bible is a totally spiritual revelation of the Gospel, they know that the City of Babylon actually represents the world and the worldly portion of the Church, the Mystery Harlot of Revelation 17.

BABYLON IN THE HEART!

.

Have you ever heard this next saying?

.

Listen…“Before you can take a man out of the slums, you first must take the slum out of the man!”

.

Likewise, this same principle must be firmly established, that Babylon must be thoroughly purged from the Christian’s heart!

.

Otherwise, to merely remove ourselves from the apostate organizations of Babylon, will only be, “an exercise in futility”, as the saying goes!

OUR WORLDLY, WORLDLY WAYS!

.

Because we are sinners, therefore we have inherent love for this Babylonish world!

.

And just because we have gone down into the baptismal pool does not mean that our hearts have been purged from our past worldly ways!

.

And so, God has given a great commission to each and every Believer…“And every man that hath this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He (Jesus) is pure.” 1st John 3:3

.

.

.

.

.

WHY, WHY, WHY???

.

Now at this point, someone might ask the question… “Well, why has God allowed His people to get so brainwashed by Satan’s kingdom of this world, in the first place?

Why didn’t He just take us out into the wilderness, like He did with His Old Testament ‘Church in the wilderness’?” (Acts 7:38)

JUDGMENT DAY!

.

Well, just as God allowed the, “Church in the wilderness” to eat their fill of flesh, to the point of vomiting through their noses…

…so has He done with us! (see Numbers 11:20)

.

Yes, God has allowed His New Testament Church to get our fill of this Babylonish world, to the point where we loathe the ways of this Kingdom of Babylon, the world!

.

And we weep to see how the Church has suffered under the cruel hand of the true “King of Babylon”…“O Lucifer, son of the morning!” Isaiah 14:3 & 12

.

.

.

.

.

GOOD NEWS!

.

But the very Good News is that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church!

.

No, God has determined that we are to finally come out of Babylon!

.

Listen… “And he cried mightily with a strong voice,

saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…

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.”

Revelation 18:2, 4

.

So, here is the call to God’s people, to come out of Babylon.

.

And from what has already been discussed, we must begin the work of heart purification, which we have long neglected!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

.

.

.

.

DOUBLE ENTENDRE OF REVELATION 12 WOMAN

.

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the Savior of the body.” Ephesians 5:23

.

This page concerns the constellation which is commonly known as “The Big Dipper” and the “Great Bear”.

  .

It actually appears in the summer months as a woman travailing in child-birth.

.

God has purposely given her no head.

.

But God did this to present a very important concept.

.

.

Yes, this woman represents the Church, the, “Jerusalem above, which is free, and is the mother of us all” (see Galatians 4:26).

.

You see, the single star she is giving birth to typifies the Christ child.

.

Reading in Ephesians that Christ is the “head” of the Church, this single star is logically going to become her head. But how will that be accomplished? 

.

.

.

.

.

.

WOMAN FLIPS AROUND IN WINTER

.

Now, if this Woman-in-Travail were all that the Lord created in the heavens, it would be nothing short of amazing!

.

But God, in His infinite power and majesty, has made this a great sign in Heaven, just as Revelation 12 proclaims.

.

Because as the summer passes, this constellation begins to slowly flip around, until the stars representing her arms now become her legs.

.

And the stars that once represented her legs now become her arms.  

.

And finally, it appears as the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12.

.

And at that point, this single little star in her womb-area, representing the Christ-child, now becomes her head!

.

And of course, this reminds us of the passage… “And He (Christ) is the head of the body, the Church…” Colossians 1:18.
