A Warning regarding Babylon
Babylon
is the Bible name used to set forth the entirety of false religion.
Just as the literal city of Babylon opposed Jehovah and Israel, so
all of false religion is set in opposition to the Lord and His people
and is called "BABYLON THE GREAT" (Revelation 17:5).
She is known by her FALSE GOSPEL which is any message that makes
salvation dependent upon sinners rather than upon the grace of God
and the person and work of Christ.
Babylon
is no respecter of denominations and she encompasses the globe. In
our country, she especially bewitches by her Arminian heresy.
Millions upon millions worship at her altar of free-willism and
follow as she leads them to establish a righteousness of their own
rather than submit to the righteousness of God.
She is an alluring spiritual harlot, seductively attractive and
irresistible to the unregenerate man. She is immense and powerful,
and has multitudes of willing disciples, but her days are numbered
for the Lord will destroy Babylon.
"And
great Babylon came in remembrance before God,
to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath"
(Revelation 16:19). Is there no hope for those who are under the
deception of Babylon? Yes there is hope, but nothing can break the
power of her magical spell except the effectual grace of God Almighty
Who, using the true gospel, must say, "Come
out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that
ye receive not of her plagues" (Revelation
18:4).
