I'm trusting God for a revelatory knowledge for everyone that will take time to study deeply and meditate on this series we are going into. Remember, we are still in the same series - Victims of Prophecies.
Before we go into this topic deeply, let me explain why this topic is needed and why it's coming at this hour.
Let's look at Revelation 18:4-5, 8.
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. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
This is a prophetic warning for the last days generation, which is you and i. If you read Rev. 17:1-7, 18:1-3 and 14:8, you will see Babylon being repeated several times. What this is Babylon signify? Why is God telling us to come out from her? And what's her sin, that God is even ready to punish everyone He met in Babylon?
Now, if this Prophecy about Babylon is expexted to come to pass, which I'm sure will come to pass. Then it's very crucial that you as a true christian should have a complete and correct understanding of who Babylon is and her sins. Looking at what shall befall her and her people, that's why there is a burden in my heart and Holy Spirit is confirming it that i need to teach on this topic, so that many will not say they did not hear about it at the white throne judgment. Mean while, know for sure that this is an unconditional prophecy, nothing can change it, it will surely come to pass.
The word "Babylon" brings to your memory the plight of the Israelites for 70 years in the hand of Babylon and its Kings... But there are lot to know than this. Because John in the book of Revelation 17:3-7 gave us a different insight entirely...
Revelation 17:3-5 KJV
"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 ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns".
So, Babylon is a mystery i.e it can never be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. So, Babylon is beyond a city or a nation as you might think she is.
Now, questions that should come to the heart of a hungry, thirsty and serious Christians are...
What is the mystery of the woman Babylon?
Why was it symbolised using a woman?
Why not a city or a building?
Why is this woman so important that Jesus Christ have to show John beloved vision about her in His End Time Book of the Bible?
What is her significance in this last days?
What did i need to know about her and what action do i need to take before my Lord Jesus comes?
Take time to ponder prayerfully about these questions and allow the Holy Spirit to speak into your heart, even as we go deeply into this topic in my next article...
Stay tuned and remain blessed!
DOMINALTI for CHRIST
