Come Out Of Her My People

[Esaias]

So now that we have dealt with the side issues, the fact also remains that God commands his people to 'come out of Babylon'.

Failure to 'come out' results in two things:

1. Participating in Babylon's sins. And,
2. Receiving the same punishments from God.

Biblical Christianity is a 'come-outer' religion.

The early church had to come out of Judaism (for the Jews) and paganism (for the gentiles). The same thing is true today (although the influence of Judaism is growing amongst professing Christians, it is still yet slight compared to the influences of paganism).

Of course, most people are not willing to 'go outside the camp'. They either want to 'reform' their compromised 'church', or they are just happy with things as they are. Some even want to further the compromise, hoping to be 'change agents' to 'modernize' the theology and faith of others.

But reform movements never succeed. They always wind up in need of reformation themselves. Witness the Methodist church, as a perfect example. They made some 'reformations', but did not go further. And so people had to 'come out' yet again... resulting in the Holiness revival. And then, they too ossified, and did not go on. So once again, when God moved, His people had to come out.

Here we are today. The pillar is moving, but many will be 'left behind' to die in the wilderness.

The call to come out from false religion, and get back to the unadulterated Word of God and the faith ONCE delivered to the saints, to the faith of the original church, and of the apostles of the Lord, is just as valid today as it was 2,000 years ago.

And meets with much of the same kinds of opposition as it did back then.
