UNDERSTANDING THE REVELATION THE FALL OF BABYLON THE GREAT The whole Revelation 18 is given over to describing the trade and economic side effects of Babylons fall. Strange as it may seem, the Revelation clearly indicates mankind is not only going to share in a small way Babylons punishment and collapse, but it is also going to eye-witness the event itself. Just as human eyes will be permitted to actually see the throne of the living God at the 6th Seal (Rev. 6:16-17), so, too, at Babylons fall, millions of human beings will actually stand aghast as they see this super-city above going up in smoke. Revelation 18: 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, WHEN THEY SHALL SEE THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING, 10: Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Then, in a frenzy of awareness, men and women will realize how terribly deceived they have been in religious matters: how easily the Harlot and her promiscuous earthly daughters had inveigled them into accepting as truth the dubious doctrines of devils. Mankind will then turn in a rage on all the religious organizations of men, CHRISTIANS OR OTHERWISE, and will literally tear them to pieces. Revelation 17: 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Goaded on by the Beast, whose deadly dictatorship at that time will be universally accepted, men will abandon themselves to the service of the MAN OF SIN. It will, indeed, be a TIME OF TROUBLE such as never was since there was a nation. But, and this is the most wondrous part of it all, Yahwehs true church, the EKKLESIA OF GOD, the sealed commandment keeping servants of the Most High, WILL BE SAVED OUT OF IT. During this awesome period, the sealed church, symbolized by the pure woman in Revelation chapter 12, will be safe in the wilderness of the nations, out of the Devils reach (Rev. 12:13-16, Ezekiel 20:33-37) In the unseen spirit realms above and on the earth below, there will be total confusion and chaos at Babylons fall. But at that time, Yahwehs followers throughout the universe, especially those on earth, will rejoice with joy un- speakable. For they will have a measure of peace and protection which no demon will be able to disturb. isnt this good news ? We think it is. Indeed, were it not those encouraging passages in the prophecy which tell of PARDON, PEACE, and PROTECTION for those who TRUST and OBEY the Almighty, the Revelation would terrify the bravest heart and produce panic in the mind of every believer who read it. It is precisely for this reason so believers the world over may begin to study the Revelation, understand its symbolism, and pay special heed to those inspired passages which indicate OBEDIENCE TO A VITAL PREREQUISITE TO PRO- TECTION. For, believe it or not, divine protection is conditional; and the main condition believers must meet to qualify for the protection is to add to their faith - OBEDIENCE. Remember: Revelation 1: 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN THEREIN: for the time is at hand. The Almighty God of Israel wants His followers to UNDERSTAND THE REVELATION, to wake up and prepare for the cataclysmic events scheduled to engulf mankind in the near future. But, far more than this, He wants them to demonstrate their faith in Him by obeying His law. Do you have the will to do this ? We hope you do. because if you do not, you will be overwhelmed by the troubles which already begun and are escalating out of control all over the world.
