Revelation 18:4-5


I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.
  • I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. John 17:15-16
  • You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time? Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing. Matthew 24:4-46
  • During the last days our Father will remove us from needing to be part of Babylon, but we will still be here on the earth. We will be used by our Father during these times to give people what they really need, the Truth. When Jesus returns He will be using us to serve and every nation, tongue, and tribe will be benefiting from what He is empowering us to do.
  • We will also be provided for without needing the world.
  • But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days). Revelation 12:14
  • Our needs will always be met by our Father’s riches and glory. We will never be left or forsaking by Jesus. Our burden will always be light and our yoke is always easy.
For her iniquities (her crimes and transgressions) are piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her wickedness and [her] crimes [and calls them up for settlement].
  • In Revelation 2 we were shown that Jesus hates the deeds of the Nicolatians. These religious leaders set themselves up above others, thinking that they were better, and that is what Babylon does. It glorifies self and condemns others who are perceived to be inferior. I also believe that many so called Christians do this today. Far too many are arrogant about being saved and far too condemning of those who they believe are not.  
  • Jesus empowers us to give and not expect anything in return. Babylon teaches people to always receive for what you have done. Jesus tells us to bless those who misuse us. Babylon teaches revenge. Babylon is anti-christ and our Father will destroy it.
