Revelation 18:2: A Cage of Every Unclean & Hateful Bird!

.

Part 2:

“The Social Club Gospel”

To read Part 1, go here…January 15 (Revelation 18:2: “A Cage of Every Unclean & Hateful Bird!”)

.

The 18th Chapter of Revelation speaks of a mystery harlot city called Babylon.

And all through this chapter are clues as to just what or who is this mystery harlot.

.

For instance, in the 2nd verse it says…

“And he (the angel) 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.”

Revelation 18:2

.

Now here it says that this mystery harlot city is, “a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”

So, what in the world could this be speaking of? “A cage of every unclean and hateful bird!?!”

FALSE TEACHERS

.

Well, actually, this is one of the more easily deciphered clues as to just what or who this mystery harlot city is speaking of.

.

Comparing spiritual things with spiritual, and line upon line, we find a verse in Jeremiah…

“For among My people are found wicked men:

they lay wait, as he that setteth snares;

they set a trap, they catch men.

AS A CAGE FULL OF BIRDS,

so are their houses full of deceit:”

Jeremiah 5:26-28

.

Here is a prophecy regarding wicked men among God’s apostate people…who “crept in unawares”; who lay snares for God’s professed people! (See Jude 1:4)

TOTAL APOSTASY

.

Now, there are those who will object, saying, “Oh, there may be some apostate churches. But not my church! We are still faithful!”

.

But Paul foretells of the day in which the apostasy will come into its fulness…

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;”

2nd timothy 4:3

.

Yes, today we see the prosperity-driven gospels thriving in both the liberal as well as the conservative churches.

.

“WE’RE NOT APOSTATE!”

.

And yet, many Christians are skeptical against the idea that the day has truly come, in which the itching ears gospels have taken over the church-world.

**Oh, they are aware that “those liberal churches over there” have become apostate.**

.

But they just cannot believe that “My little conservative church here has also fallen from grace!?! NO!”

And yet, even those little congregations who may have been faithful to some degree, must realize that God’s Holy Spirit has been removed from the midst (see 2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2:1, 2).

PROVIDING A SOCIAL GOSPEL

.

And so, church has now greatly devolved into ear-tickling fashionable quasi-religious music, interesting and charismatic and humorous speakers preaching prosperity-driven sermons and the pushing of social-justice causes!

.

And all this might be followed by weekly rounds of social events, including: weddings, funerals, baby showers, birthdays, graduations, sports teams and teen gym-nights, games, parties, carwashes (and other fundraisers), dramas, comedies, music-fests, holiday celebrations, potlucks, picnics, summer camps, boating/rafting, trips to the beach, and other similar family-oriented events!

.

The Book of Acts provided the early Church to be the role-model for His people today.

“NO CHANGES!”

.

But rather, the following verse is more applicable to those in today’s churches…“Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalm 55:19

.

**No, there is very little fear and trembling before God in today’s churches. And there certainly is, “no changes” (transformation) like that which Paul spoke of in Galatians 2:20.**

.

Many today are mostly content to attempt a one-day-per-week worship of God, followed by a return to seeking after the things of earth for the next six days!

HOPE ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION

.

And so, God has graciously provided a way of escape from this very subtle, yet totalitarian situation in the church-world.

.

But there only exists hope in one direction!

.

And that one direction is summed up by the following cry from One on High…

“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 18:4

.

Yes, the time has fully come that God is now calling His people to, “Come out of her, My people!”

GOD’S PEOPLE TAKEN CAPTIVE

God has a people in Babylon.

Yes, Mystery Babylon is the “Mother of Harlots”. Revelation 17:5

This sketch 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!
