COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE

COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE

Revelation 18:4 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 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

As near as I can tell, this message to the true Church is scheduled to be heralded on a world-wide scale near the end of the period of Grace as we know it today. It will be an unmistakable call, with very little chance of being misinterpreted or misunderstood by those who hear it. The urgency of the call will be similar to that of Lot, when the angels urged him out of Sodom-- almost irresistable.

Notice that it is NOT a voice from a MAN, nor a group of humans. It is a voice DIRECTLY FROM HEAVEN. It is directed to a specific people-- "MY PEOPLE."

Revelation 18:2 And he 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.

The conditions described here are indicative of a degraded condition in the midst of whatever is meant by the term "BABYLON." There is plenty of room for speculation about the identity of this "woman" called Babylon. Is it RELIGIOUS? Is it POLITICAL? Is it BOTH?

We are told that in 70 AD there were no Christians in Jerusalem. God had given them a time slot of a few days, while Titus regrouped his armies, and they all fled the city. And, I am old enough that I remember the way the Lord delivered the Allied Armies in a crucial time during World War II at Dunkirque, by sending a dense fog to cover the evacuation of the troops.

Is God ABLE to direct His People to a position of safety? Is God WILLING to direct His People to a position of safety? You know the answer.

The big question is whether His people will hear the call, and if so, how many will heed the call.
