Coming out of Babylon, what does this mean?

Come out of her, my people.

(Rev 18:4-5 NIV) Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; {5} for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

If you hear a person calling you to

come out of your house,

where is that person?

He is outside your house.

If you hear God calling you to come out of Babylon

where is God?

Any opinions on what Babylon is??

What! No one brave enough to tackle this one??

babylon 5?

lol

Babylon could be either the United States of America or Iraq. (most likely not the latter, though historically that is roughly where it is located)
But who knows.

Jehovas Witnesses believe its Mary, but i'm gottal let the credits slide out on this one...

Wasn't the book written around 70 AD? Couldn't it mean get out of the pagan worship, pagan belief?? Though the Protestants say it's getting out of the Catholic church.

Mystery
Babylon the Great
Mother of Prostitutes
And of Abominations of the Earth

Babylon - a symbolic woman
- a prostitute...
- an adulterer...

A woman is used symbolically by the Book of Revelation to refer to a Church.

Associated with the two-horned beast
- a blasphemer...
- a false prophet...
- one who proclaims he is God...
- one who has power both in State and Church (horns like a lamb and a voice like a lion)...
- one who as a mark...
- and one who has number 666 on his name, title, and authority...

The woman who sits on seven hills.
- will be thrown away into a desert for 42 months...

She is the Babylon which was built on a wrong foundation...

Thus, declared by one of God's messengers:

"Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the Great!"

...

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Babylon is another name for false beliefs/Paganism...If you take communion, do baptism, worship on Sunday, believe in the Trinity, believe Jesus was on a cross and resurrected, then you are believing all the stories the Pagans believe, just the names have changed. And you're practicing all the same rituals...The only difference with baptism is that they are not using REAL blood.

God is speaking to both Jews and tribulation Christians to come out of the enemy territory before he destroys them. this is similar to the Gomorrah and Sodom situation.

but god abandoned the jews when they wouldnt follow the way of jesus

True..according to Paul, after the stoning of Stephen, the gospel went to the gentiles...Jesus also made a remark regarding Jerusalem.

Why was the "Babylon" of Revelation called as Prostitute and Adulterer?

Because the "woman", the Church (Christ has built in the first century), embraced Paganism. This is what theologians called "spiritual adultery".

The "apostatized church" was no longer the Church that Christ has built.

So the Bible proclaimed:

"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Do you celebrate baptism??? That's pagan. How about communion?

how about funerals

OH....people just have to admit it...we are all still pagan....we are still all in Babylon........I think I'll go hug a tree.

THE CHURCH IS STILL IN BABYLON...

The Baptism with the new Covenant of God through Christ, yes. But no infant baptism and the sprinkle of water.

Communion? -> Unbiblical.

We bury the dead. No rituals, no ceremonies, no prayers.

Baptism is also pagan...they were washed in REAL blood...

Being a TRUE Christian is being with God.. and is therefore giving up living like pagans.
