Sir,
In the book of Revelation there is a final warning for us who are living in
these last days of earth’s history. Rev 18:4 reads; “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’.” This message is more
of a repeat of the second angel of Rev 14 but with added power and glory. The
voice is coming from heaven meaning it is a message coming directly from God and
He is calling His people to come out of Babylon and it simply shows that it is
important for us to find out who Babylon is.
Church
The second part of the text reads; “Come out of her.” In the Bible a church
is always referred to as a woman. Basically there are two symbols of women
representing the church in the Bible. The first example is of a pure woman who
‘keeps the Commandments of God’ (Rev 12:17). The other woman is of the
prostitute and it refers to the apostate or disobedient church. The two female
symbols are direct opposites of one another, but opposite sides of the same
institutions of Christianity, the different forms of the church in the last
days.
Definition
“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit
upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and 10 horns,” Rev 17: 3. Notice here that this woman is blasphemous towards
God. The biblical definition of blasphemy is to make yourself to be God or
claiming to be equal  to God (John 10:33). The third part reads; “That ye be
not partakers of her sins.” The biblical definition of sin is ‘the
transgression of the law’ (1Jn 3:4). Since sin is considered by God to be an
act of directly breaking His commandments, He is warning us not to ‘partake of
her sins’ or in other words not to break any of His 10 Commandments.
To people in Babylon, Christ says; “In vain they worship me, teaching for
doctrine the commandments of men,” (Matthew 15: 3, 6, 9). “These people
honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in
vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.” And He said to them;
“You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe
your own traditions,” Mark 7: 7, 9. We must ask ourselves two simple
questions: Do we honour Jesus with our lips? Yes, we do. Most Christians sit in
church every Sunday proclaim love and loyalty to God.
Have we set aside the commandments of God to observe man-made traditions? Yes,
we have. Ninety nine per cent of the world now obeys Sunday worship in place of
God’s commanded Sabbath, or the fourth commandment.Dear readers, there is no
doubt what God wants us to do; the Bible is very clear on the subject. Let us
heed God’s final warning to ‘come out of her’ before it’s too late!
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His
commandments; for this is the whole duty of man,” Ecc 12:13.
