Daily Devotional, Year 2 – JULY 23

.

Come Out of Her, My People!

.

Part 14:

When Light Is Darkness

To read Part 1, click here… “May 12th (Come Out of Her, My People?)”

.

“Take heed therefore that the light

which is in thee be not darkness.”

Warning by Jesus in Luke 11:35

.

CITY OF CONFUSION

.

Babylon was given its name during the building of that infamous Tower of Babylon, because God confused their speech…

.

Listen… “Therefore is the name of it called Babel;

because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth:

and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”

Genesis 11:9

.

**And so, the name, Babylon, actually means, “City of Confusion”.**

.

“COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE”

Revelation 18:4

.

The call is now going out to anyone who will listen…

“Babylon is fallen is fallen…

Come out of her My people,

that ye partake not of her sins,

and receive not of her plagues”

Revelation 18:1, 4

.

**Yes, the time is come for God’s people to make our Exodus out of the “City of Confusion”, the various Christian organizations.**

.

And this is a literal Exodus!

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Romans 12:2

.

**And yet, before we can completely come of Babylon, “the city of confusion”, we must come out of her in our minds.**

(“City of Confusion” Isaiah 24:10)

.

In other words, we still have great confusion about what is truth and what is merely the wine of her false doctrines, which deadly wine we have been drinking for so many years.

.

And the reader is encouraged to click on and begin reading this series of devotionals called “Come Out of Her, My People”, to gain a fuller understanding of just why God considers today’s churches to be spiritual Babylon.

BABYLONIANS BY BIRTH

.

We have grown up in this Babylonian world. Our customs and our fashions and our tastes have all been formed by the selfish wares and faithless ways of this world.

.

But when it pleased the Lord to bring us into His marvelous light, we did not fully understand the veritable ways of Heaven.

.

And that is why God gave us His Word. So that by reading about Christ, we could become renewed in the knowledge of Heaven’s ways.

GOD’S PEOPLE STILL IN DARKNESS

.

Yes, God has desired to purify for Himself a people, zealous of good works. God desires to have His people reflect His glorious light to a world in bondage to sin; a world in spiritual darkness.

.

But God’s people have not fully understood the importance of shining with the glorious light of Heaven. And to a great degree, we have not fully put off the darkness of this Babylonian world. We still largely behave as Babylonians.

TAKE THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE!

.

Listen to this admonition by God, to Jeremiah…

“Therefore thus saith the LORD,

If thou return, then will I bring thee again,

and thou shalt stand before Me:

and if thou take forth the precious from the vile,

thou shalt be as My mouth:

let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.”

Jeremiah 15:19

.

This exhortation from God to Jeremiah reveals that God desires, not only Jeremiah, but every Christian to, “purify himself, even as He (Christ) is pure.” 1st John 3:3

.

Unfortunately, today’s Christian community refuses to embrace the fullness of Christ. We enjoy our worldly ways! We would prefer to have SOME, but not ALL of Christ! We love the commonness, frivolity, and selfishness of this world! And so, our music, our language, our lifestyle, and our behavior and even our fashions all reflect the ways of the world, to a great degree.

TIME HAS COME TO SHINE!

.

**Perhaps in the past, God had winked at our highly compromised ways. But now that we are at the end, God desires His people to finally shine “as the Sun”.**

.

But as long as we continue to cling to the godless ways of this Babylonish world, we cannot fully shine out to the world.

.

Our music, our speech, our irreverence all must be radically changed, if we will become purified, “even as Christ is pure!”

.

We just cannot mingle the light of Heaven with this world’s darkness, if we will ever hope to shine as the Sun!

“THE GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 15:25

.

The Good News is that God is a very forgiving and tender-hearted God. And He is just now giving us opportunity to cast off our Babylonian garments and show Christ-and-Christ-alone to the onlooking world!

.

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13:12

.

The time is come for God’s Church to shine as the Sun in all its brightness to this unbelieving Babylonian world. And all those who profess to love Christ, will now have opportunity to “prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2)! And once this is accomplished, God’s purified remnant will, “shine forth as the Sun”. Matthew 13:43

GOD’S PEOPLE TAKEN CAPTIVE

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon), My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

God has a people in Babylon. Yes, Mystery Babylon is the Mother of Harlots. The sketch to the left shows her riding this beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.

.

But in that spiritual city, there are those who still love God to a certain degree. And before the final plagues are poured out upon her, God has been and will continue to call His people out of her… “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

.

And so in addition to The Pleiades appearing as the Harlot Mother, we also see this second depiction of The Pleiades as an angel, which symbolizes God’s people, walking the downward pathway to destruction. They must be called out of Babylon before it’s too late!
