DAILY BIBLE LESSON
THE LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE AT HAND.

Please, share this study with your family, friends co-workers, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.

What is BABYLON? There is no city in the world today by that name. JOHN uses the name as a symbol of a VAST ORGANIZATION or SPIRITUAL "CITY" on Earth which has proudly exalted itself above God, but which is now " Fallen".( The Roman Catholic system).

The beginning of the ancient city of Babylon was the place called Babel, which name means " confusion" ( See Genesis 11:9). It was at Babel that men after Noah's day tried to rebel against God. " The lord did there confound the language of all the Earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:9.

In the book of Revelation the name Babylon is used six times, and refers to all FALSE RELIGIONS. It is indeed " confusion"! BABYLON has made all nations " drink" of her False doctrines. Professing to teach God's truth, she has taught the traditions and fables of men. The result is that the nations have become " Drunk" . Perhaps you have wondered why they so often fight unnecessary wards, and waste huge sums of money on armaments that would not be needed if men would live according to God's Commandments.
In rejecting the First Angel's Message calling upon men to worship the creator and keep His SABBATH and to prepare for the hour of God's JUDGEMENT, Babylon has deceived the nations. God will hold her accountable!

FALSE DOCTRINES are the " Wine" that Babylon gives the nations to drink.
Examples are:
1. The false doctrine that God is a cruel tyrant who torments the lost in Eternal flames.
2. The idea that the dead are not really dead but are still alive.
3. The idea that Christ did not exist from eternity before His birth as a baby in Bethlehem.
4. The keeping of the First day of the week as the Sabbath instead of the seventh day which God blessed and Sanctified.
5. Building religion around the love of self instead of the love of Christ so that fear becomes the greatest power in such false religion.

The many branches of such false religion make the Nation " drunk" they will at last become angry with those who hold to the truth of God's word.

Jesus is calling those in Babylon " Come out of her, my people(Revelation 18:4, 5). Please notice that Jesus refers to many people in Babylon as “my people.” There are millions of sincere Christians in Babylon who have not yet heard this warning message.It's not just the Roman Catholic Church that God is calling His people out of. The majority of Protestant churches have now 'fallen' also and are part of Babylon, as the 'daughters' There is a great ecumenical movement happening today that is uniting all churches and faiths together. So if your church still teaches the 'wine' of Babylon and accepts this ecumencial movement, then you need to come out of that church also!

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.

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)

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.

How will people who love Jesus but who are now in Babylon respond when they hear His appeal to come out?

Answer: Jesus says, “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. ... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:16, 27). Jesus recognizes His children who are in Babylon. Further, He promises to call them out of Babylon before it is destroyed. And, most glorious of all, Jesus promises that His people who are yet in Babylon will hear and recognize His voice and come out to safety.

Note: When called out of BABYLON, where should a christian go?
Find the people who keep God's Commandments, have the faith of Jesus, and are preaching the THREE ANGELS MESSAGES worldwide and join them[ Revelation 14:6-12].

Once a person discovers God's true Endtime church, it is necessary to become a member?
ACTS 2:47 And the LORD added to the church daily such as should be saved.

We are called into one body( Col 3:15).
That body is the church ( Col 1:18).
We enter that body by Baptism ( 1 COR 12:13).

It is just as imperative to enter God's church today as it was to enter the Ark in Noah's day[ Genesis 7:1].

JESUS will call all His faithful, honest followers to come out of BABYLON. They will hear His voice, respond, and enter His one true, Endtime church.
