Come out from Her my People - Spirit of the World, Babylon

Revelations 18:4

4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues…”

Why are God’s people in Babylon in the first place? Because Babylon is a world ruling spirit of darkness and we are in the world and the spirit of the world needs to be ejected from our mind heart and spiritual system so that we can shine as the stars in heaven in Gods pure righteousness. (Dan12:3) But if God’s people are wicked then we will receive the same judgement, the same plagues reserved for Babylon and everyone associated with that philosophy, spirit and way of life– a frightening thought.

The Spirit of the current age is a Spirit of Babylon – Characterized by the following Sins.


Babylon characteristic #1

Wanton, uncontrollable sexual immorality/lust, - drunken, fleshly lust ‘all the nations of the earth have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality’ – powerful drives for sex, food, drink etc. inability to control sexual appetite or natural appetite for food and drink and sex.

Revelations 18:3

3 For all the nations [d]have drunk of the wine of the [e]passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the [f]wealth of her [g]sensuality.”

God’s Solution for God’s people
A regular habit of fasting and prayer with water one a week on your rest day. For ‘life is more than food and drink’. If our natural appetites for food is uncontrollable, then it could be that you are imbibing of the evil spirit of Babylon. Fasting helps us keep the natural man in check and makes the spirit of God ascend over the flesh. Take up the cross against appetites for food, drink and sex, and lifestyle of daily prayer, bible reading, choosing to follow God as a follower of Jesus.


Babylon characteristic #2

Greed for great wealth through unethical, unrighteous acts and compromised morality (no integrity and blamelessness) or truth in business and trade professional dealings. The merchants of the earth have become rich by the [f]wealth of her [g]sensuality.”

God’s Solution for God’s people?

Refuse to compromise with standards of righteousness, principles of integrity, (refusal to lie) to always speak truth (with wisdom), Don’t do anything morally questionable. The Spirit of this age is one which will sell out – cheat, slander, malign, ‘murder’ judge, slander others for gain of reputation, status, looking good in front of others, at the cost having blood on our hands.

Lift up the standard of the righteous life of Jesus Christ who dwells in us! Live out the righteous life of Christ through taking up the cross daily and receiving His power of the Holy Spirit to make decisions for Jesus in the small tasks of daily work. Great persecution will await you if you do this but its worth it! What is the point if we gain the whole world but lose our souls!



Babylon characteristic #3, #4
#3 Great pride and arrogance

#4 Great lust for power and fame– power hungry, attention seeking, people pleasing. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen.’

Gods solution

Phillippians 2:3

3 Do nothing [c]from [d]selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude [e]in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be [f]grasped, 7 but [g]emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death [h]on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Become as Jesus - a servant, don’t embrace titles that cause you to become only prideful and puff up your arrogance.  Check the desire for 'success' -fame, numbers, things which will give you status in this life.  Luke 16:15 "What this world honors is detestable in the sight of God." Obey God even though it cost you pain as it caused Christ pain – emotionally, spiritually, physically to die on the cross and obey God. For then the beautiful humility of Christ and the love of God will be revealed through you as you, a servant go forth to love and serve others.


Babylon characteristic #5, #6

#5 The Spirit of Babylon has this uncontrollable desire for comfort - to live in a position of a shield/bubble of fame, power, wealth and comfort, far away from all human suffering forever ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning,’ denoting her refusing to feel pain or suffering for when we mourn, we are usually in pain/feel loss of something.

#6 ‘I am not a widow’ - Refusal to Associate befriend or identify with orphans, widows, the poor and destitute of the earth. She cannot relate to poor/hungry people, having never suffered before herself. knowing no pain in her life. Babylon refuses to help or embrace the suffering of these poor people as her own because of pride, she has a lack of basic human kindness and possess a cruel, lustful and immoral heart. She refuses the teaching that we partake of the sufferings of Christ as believers and shuns all pain and suffering, everything which will cost her something in terms of human pain she cannot take. Give to ministries like open doors which will inform you of Christian's suffering all over the world https://www.opendoors.org.


God’s Solution for God’s people?
Do we mourn when we see injustice, when we see the poor of the earth exploited, when we see innocent people slandered and accused, well maybe its because you have never tried to do what is right and received slander in return, that’s why you cannot identify with unjust sufferings. When we ourselves are treated unfairly we 1) think of others who are also treated worse, we can emphathise (calloused as our hearts are, they become soft), 2) it awakens the desire for Justice, the desire for heaven on earth – that Fair country with foundations of justice and righteousness in whom the Righteous One dwells. Do we mourn for the earth to be redeemed to its final glory? Do we long for Christ’s redemption of all things and restoration of the kingdoms of this earth to become the Kingdoms of our God when all injustice will be obliterated? And every kind act receive its just reward with every evil intent receiving its just judgement? Yes we will rejoice mightily in that day unless we are the perpetuators of suffering and injustice – then we shall mourn. Do we long for the poor and want to do kind acts to relive the suffering of others? A glass of cold water will receive a reward in God’s kingdom simple acts of kindness – not intentions for kindness but real acts of service. For in the Kingdom it is not the thought that counts but the works which will receive the reward. What are your works? Works of service and love and lifting up others or works of evil and suffering and injustice and cruelty?





Matthew 25:31-46English Standard Version (ESV)

The Final Judgment

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’


41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life”

Love one another with the Love of Christ!

"Love Is The Seventh Wave"

The singer seems to be singing to the queen of Babylon in this song

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave
