Come Out of Babylon (Revelation 18)

Fallen is Babylon the Great!

Fallen is Babylon the Great! Rev 18 Fallen is Babylon the Great! The reality of Babylon is that it is demonic The people of earth have become intoxicated with Babylon’s pleasures and ‘excessive luxuries’

vs. 4-5 Come Out of Babylon Babylon’s fall takes place throughout history but especially on the day of final judgment The plea to leave Babylon (the world, as the center of seduction) is addressed to God’s people in all ages This is not a call for believers to physically remove themselves from this world, but to remove themselves from moral pollution

Jeremiah 51:45,47 45 Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the Lord. …47 For the time will surely come when I will punish the idols of Babylon; her whole land will be disgraced and her slain will all lie fallen within her.

It sometimes may seem as if God has forgotten Babylon’s sins vs. 4-5 Come Out of Babylon The reason for the exhortation is not only not “to share in her sins,” but to escape the coming judgment Those who set their heart on the world will also receive of her plagues It sometimes may seem as if God has forgotten Babylon’s sins

Jeremiah 51:56 A destroyer will come against Babylon; her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken. For the Lord is a God of retribution; he will repay in full.

vs. 4-5 Come Out of Babylon Genesis 19:17 “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere…” Luke 17:32-33 (ESV) 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
