Come out of her my people

Bible Reading: Revelation 18

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.

What should a believer do when they find themselves in a false system? They should do exactly what John heard the voice from heaven say. They should come out of that. The Bible instructed those followers of Jesus who were tempted to go back into Judiasm to:

Hebrews 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

The Jewish believers were instructed to go forth unto him without the camp. Here in Revelation, the true believers in Jesus are instructed to come out of the Babylonian system. To stay would be to partake in her sins. To stay would be to receive her plagues.

Followers of Jesus are to gather together with the saints. (Hebrews 10:24-25). This means we need to be a part of the true church. This is not an particular denomination. It means to be a part of a church that believes the Bible and worships Jesus.

Maybe you are a part of a church like that. You should praise God and pray for your church. If you are a part of the Babylonian system, you need to get out of it. Go to Jesus and bear his reproach.

In Christ,
