Babylon, the Judgment of America, and the Promise of Revival (58 min)

In the end times, location really matters.  It is important to know the promises and warnings for SPECIFIC geographic locations, in case you happen to live in one of them!  There are numerous warnings for specific geographic locations in Isaiah (read chapters 13-21, and 47), Ezekiel, Jeremiah, the minor prophets, the Olivet Discourse (Jerusalem/Judea), and the Book of Revelation.

 

A very intense and specific warning is given to the end time Babylon.  You can read the specific words easily in Isaiah 14 and 47, Jeremiah 50 and 51, and Revelation 18.  The end time Babylon is described as FULL of God’s people, wealthy, living in luxury, exporting lust and an extravagantly luxurious lifestyle, and corrupting the world with her value system of materialism above all else.  Other passages describe the end time Babylon as last lone superpower to inhabit planet earth before the return of Jesus.

 

The final nail in the end time Babylon’s  coffin of judgment is her betrayal of Israel:

Isaiah 47:6-9  I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.  7  And you said, 'I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.  8  "Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children';  9  But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.

 

Before THAT day, God’s people in the end time Babylon MUST respond and agree with God’s instructions to “come out of her”:

Revelation 18:2-9  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!  3  For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."  4  And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.  5  For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.  6  Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.  7  In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'  8  Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.  9  "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

 

End time Babylon…the harlot…is also full of God’s people…the Bride.  The wheat and the tares are side by side in the end time Babylon:

Revelation 18:21-24  Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.  22  The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.  23  The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.  24  And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."

 

Watch.  Pray.  Be Ready.
