COME OUT OF BABYLON MY PEOPLE

At a time when the people and leaders of the world are looking for unity between church denominations and religions through this ecumenical-interfaith movement, God is calling His people OUT of it. Will you heed the warning?

Revelation 18:1-4 ...'And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 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. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 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.'

Now the majority of people wrongly identify who Babylon is, and therefore cannot respond to this urgent message to come out of Babylon. If you look at our WHO IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON page, you will see that the 'MOTHER of harlots' is none other than the Roman Catholic Church. But is the pronouncement in Revelation 14:8 and Revelation 18:2 of Babylon now being 'fallen' and 'becoming' the habitation of every foul spirit, a pronouncement of the Roman Catholic Church? No. And I will tell you why.

The fact that this call is to a 'body' that is become fallen, means that at some point it was in good standing with God. Yet the Roman Catholic Church has been in an apostate, 'fallen' condition right from the very beginning of the church. So to say that the Roman Catholic Church is 'now fallen' and has 'become' the habitation of devils, is just the same as saying that Paganism, or Hinduism, or any other false religion has 'become fallen'. And that, as we know is not possible, because these false religions have always been the 'habitation of devils'.

"And since the fall here introduced is a moral one, it must apply to some branch of Babylon besides, or outside of, the Pagan or Papal divisions, for from the beginning of their history, Paganism has been a false religion, and the Papacy an apostate one." (Uriah Smith, Daniel and the Revelation, p.664)

"The message of Revelation 14, announcing the fall of Babylon must apply to religious bodies that were once pure and have become corrupt. Since this message follows the warning of the judgment, it must be given in the last days; therefore it cannot refer to the Roman Church alone, for that church has been in a fallen condition for many centuries." (The Great Controversy, p.382-383)

So this specific end time call for God's people to come out of Babylon, isn't a specific message for the Roman Catholic Church or any other false religion, because the call has always been for people to come out of false religion, and to turn to the one true God. No, this call is a specific call for God's very own people to come out of a 'body' that has BECOME fallen and has BECOME the habitation of every foul spirit. And what 'body' is that? The fallen Protestant churches.

Revelation 17:5 ...'And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.'

As you can see, Revelation 17 reveals that 'MOTHER' Babylon has 'daughters' who will also share in her many sins and plagues. And who are the daughters of Babylon? These can be none other than the churches and institutions which arose from the Roman Catholic Church [the Mother], during the Protestant reformation. The Protestants ran well for a 'season', but ended up fencing themselves about with creeds, causing them to fail in the advancement of light and truth, and have ended up developing a character as that of their 'mother', the Roman Catholic Church.

All of the various Protestant denominations have retained in their ecclesiastical organizations, worship and doctrines, relics of popery! Most, if not all of the denominations of today, should be called 'churches of the world', more than churches of God. The desire for power and worldly gain has infected most, if not all of them. They have ended up making a god of this world, and they are no more churches of Christ, than their 'mother', the Roman Catholic Church. Is the condition of the Protestant, now called Evangelical, churches any better than the Jewish church, when Christ uttered the words ... "Woe unto you ... hypocrites"? (Matthew 23). I think not!

"Thou art found wanting!" is engraved upon the doors of the churches today. But alas! They proclaim, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing!". But they know not that they are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked! (Revelation 3:14-22)

The prophet Isaiah described the condition of the various churches in the last days when he said ... "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach." (Isaiah 4:1). The various Protestant/Evangelical churches today have 'taken hold of one man', and call themselves by the name of 'Christian', and yet they 'eat their own bread and wear their own apparel', instead of eating the 'bread from heaven', which is the Word of God, and living by it, they follow after tradition and the teachings of men.

The first pronouncement of the fall of the Protestant churches came in 1844, when they rejected the light from God, sent to the world through the Advent movement. The prophecy of the 2300 days of Daniel came to it's fulfillment in 1844 and those churches which rejected this light, and failed to follow Jesus Christ into the most holy place in heaven, where judgment was to begin, became 'fallen', just as the angel in Revelation 14:8 proclaims. And from there, the various Protestant churches have clung to their creeds and the relics of Rome, instead of advancing in truth and light. Let me just give you a few examples of what 'relics of popery' the Protestant churches cling on to today:

They have held on to the false 'sabbath' of Papal Rome (Sunday). They have fully embraced the false trinity god of Rome. They have embraced spiritualism through the false teaching of the 'immortal soul'. They proclaim the devilish teaching that the lost will burn for all eternity!

As a counter to the above false teachings, please see the following:

SABBATH DAY TRUTH   |   TRUTH ABOUT THE TRINITY   |   TRUTH ABOUT HELL AND DEATH

Slowly but surely, the churches have been piling up the sins and abominations, where they have now reached the point of turning back to their 'mother', the Roman Catholic Church and are fully embracing her! No longer are the Protestant (Evangelical) churches proclaiming the truth that the Papal Church is that 'man of sin' and 'antichrist' which the Bible speaks of. No! Instead, they are embracing that mother of abominations in this ecumenical movement we have going on today. Not only that, the Protestant churches today are now making an unholy union with the governments of the world. And this, as we saw with the Jewish church of old, spells disaster!

So this message - "come out of her My people", is to the people of the fallen protestant churches. And yes, this message also applies to Catholics, because the call to come out of the Catholic Church has always applied right throughout history, as the Catholic Church has always been in apostasy from it's very beginning. But this specific end time call is for those within the various fallen Protestant denominations which are now 'fallen' and have 'become' the habitations of foul spirits.

But notice that God is saying "Come out MY PEOPLE". This means that God has people within the fallen churches who are living up to the light they have received. They are living a true faith according to what they know. And once they see the truth of God's Word, which the priests and pastors of these fallen churches have been hiding from them, then they will come out and join with God's true remnant people who "keep the commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus."

PLEASE NOTE: Is this just a message to come out of the fallen churches? Is it enough to just separate from these fallen churches? No, this is also a call to get Babylon OUT OF YOU! Babylon is fallen, because of her unity with the world and committing sinful things. So even if you come out of the fallen churches, but still live for the world and continue to do sinful things, then you will still be part of Babylon. So a COMPLETE conversion is required in our lives! This is part of the call to come out of Babylon.

So if the Catholic Church is an apostate church, and the various Protestant churches are 'fallen', who is God's church today?

"God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. 'Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them'. Where Christ is, even among the humble few, this is Christ's church, for the presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church. Where two or three are present who love and obey the commandments of God, Jesus there presides." (Manuscript Releases, Volume 17, pgr.81)

Revelation 14:12 ...'Here is the patience of the saints, here are they (GOD'S TRUE CHURCH) that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.'

This is where one specific Protestant denomination needs to be mentioned. You see, the first 'coming out' of the fallen churches happened in the 1800's, when the advent call was being proclaimed. This was a great movement, ordained of God, where the truth of the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel was coming to light through a preacher called William Miller. And this movement became the Seventh-day Adventist Church. A 'called out' church that was ordained of God to take the final messages (three angels messages) to a dying world, before the return of Jesus Christ.

Now during the early years of this church, it was a faithful church and proclaimed the truth that is found in Jesus Christ. The early Seventh-day Adventist church rejected the false trinity god and proclaimed the truth about the one true God and His Son. She proclaimed the truth about the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (Rev. 14:12). She also proclaimed the truth about the 'fallen' churches of babylon, and that apostate system of religion, called Roman Catholicism. But sadly, 'wolves' have entered 'not sparing the flock', and the truths which the Seventh-day Adventist Church once lived and proclaimed have now been rejected, in favor of being 'friends' with Babylon and the world.

But we here at end-times-prophecy.org are preserving the original truths that God gave to our Seventh-day Adventist pioneers.

If you read Revelation 18:4, you will see that Babylon is guilty of many sins and will receive the final wrath of God before Jesus Christ returns which are the 7 last plagues. And anyone who stays in Babylon, whether it be the 'Mother' or the 'daughter' churches, they will also receive of the plagues and be forever lost. So this is a VITAL message to those still in Babylon.

Are you a member of Babylon, whether it be the Roman Catholic Church or the fallen Protestant churches? God is calling you out today! Don't settle for half truths from your priest or pastor, study God's Word for yourself and let Christ Jesus light up your life with the whole truth. God is waiting to save you!

2 Corinthians 6:14,15,17 ...'Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.'

The churches of the world are saying "LET'S JOIN TOGETHER FOR A COMMON CAUSE", but God is saying "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE". Please heed the warning.

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.'
