Scripture reading: Romans 1:20
To come out of Babylon at this time is much more difficult than moving out of something. It is something moving out of us, for we have been imbibed by the spirit of this antichrist. We have been taught by the antichrist in our schools. Our whole system is geared to antichrist. The colleges and the universities teach subjects contrary to the Bible. They teach evolution, which is a nonsense that has been brought up by pseudo science, for every true science directs man to a creator. Even sensible logic speaks of a creator. Any reason at all must bring you back to a creator.
I look at a tree and know that no man could make a tree. The greatest scientist will never come to the point where he will be able to make a tree. I begin to study this tree and I go into the science of the trunk, the science of the root system, the science of the leaves, the science of the chlorophyll, the sunlight affecting the tree through the leaves, and the science of the tree breathing through the leaves. When I look at the whole thing and I am finished looking at it, that should convince me that there is somebody higher than my mind, higher than the human mind that made this tree.
I look at the human body. The scripture says, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His handiwork.“ Nobody needs to teach anybody about God. God does not try to convince anybody that He is alive and He is God, because the conviction of God is within a man’s own being. Your spirit, your soul, your body, the function of every particle of your being tells you that there is a God and that this God is supreme.
The sun, the moon, the stars – we look at them, and the marvel of them, and the order of them, and some say it is chance. Chance would never bring forth such order. If chance brought forth the order, then there would be chance that the order would be destroyed. So it is that scientists, or men who call themselves scientists, have gone off the deep end and have infested the whole system of learning. Scientists are saying that there is no God and are teaching the schools that the earth and all its environs began by chance, or what they call evolution. Even though this theory has been disproved by some scientists (by science itself), it has not reached to the school books, and they still have this erroneous evolution teaching going on in the schools.
Schools have gotten so ungodly that the children there who talk about God are persecuted and sometimes turned out. Schools want to separate God entirely from our human living, which is impossible. This teaching all came about and began with the harlot church turning from God – mixing the secular things with the things of God. Thus, the world saw the church as having a powerless God. Because the church had a powerless God, then men were able to invent for themselves all manner of scientific dogmas which had no truth, but were anti-God and anti-Christ.
The church itself is carrying on; speaking about God but showing no power; not living among sinners as if there really was a God or as if they really believe what they are saying. The result is that the church has become a showplace. The world looks at them and laughs at them. God, in our time, must vindicate Himself by bringing judgment upon this system and upon humanity.
This judgment is the consequence of not coming out of Babylon. Revelation 18:4 says if you do not “come out of her,” you will be a partaker of her judgment. “That ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” When we partake “of her sins,” we are going to receive of her judgments. If this is so, then judgment is imminent upon us, the church, as well as upon the world.
Revelation 18:5, “For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”
What does this phrase “her sins have reached unto heaven” mean? Sin had reached to such a point that it had the potential of changing God’s plan for humanity. The cup is full and God Himself cannot allow sin to go any further. Sin forces the hand of God to act. There is no judgment of God that does not have some reason, some deep spiritual reason, where God must move in order to preserve His people and His world.
(Excerpt from The Book of Revelation, Volume 2, pages 169-170)
Thought for today: God wants to preserve His people and His world. Let us not be a partaker of Babylon’s sins and fall under her judgment.
