Today’s Devotional – May 12th

.

Come Out of Her, My People!

.

Part 1

.

For those who are familiar with this website, there is a message to “Come out of Babylon”.

.

**And as this website explains, Babylon not only represents this fallen world, but also (and primarily) the fallen world-loving churches.**

.

And the reader is encouraged to click on and begin reading this series of devotionals called “Come Out of Her, My People”, to gain a fuller understanding of just why God considers today’s churches to be spiritual Babylon.

.

**Now the articles on this website seem to be very dogmatic about this subject. God is literally calling His people to vacate the various churches, i.e., the local congregations.**

.

And, just like this concept picture, we are to flee to the mountains (in a spiritual sense).

.

ABOVE PICTURE – winter Constellations – Woman of Revelation 12 (Ursa Major) flees to the mountains – Mark 13:14 – Dragon comprised of Hyades, Pleiades, etc…Valley of Decision mountain comprised of Cassiopeia, etc… (This is not a star-chart, but merely a concept picture since this mountain is not in this position, but is actually in the fall months)

.

FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!

.

The great problem for many churchgoers, concerning this present truth, is that God has veiled this message in allegorical language.

.

For example, in Mark, the Lord calls… “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:” Mark 13:14.

.

This above verse is written in such a way, that it requires spiritual discernment. It is cloaked in parabolic language.

.

But it also continues by explaining… “…spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand)…”

.

So, this verse needs to be understood in the light of the Book of Daniel.

REVELATION 18 COMMAND

.

Likewise, the message from Revelation, Chapter 18, is very much veiled…“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1, 4.

.

This passage also requires spiritual discernment, to rightly discern just what the Lord is actually saying here.

.

Well, we know it’s a salvational issue, because it clearly states… “Come out of her (Babylon), My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4.

.

Now to receive of her plagues sounds pretty severe!

TRUTH-SEEKERS WILL SEEK THE TRUTH!

.

But one thing is for sure! Those who are genuinely seeking after a greater and greater knowledge of truth, will continue to study for his or her own self, to fully understand just what is our duty concerning these critical matters!

.

**And this website (and more importantly, the Bible) is an excellent place to begin one’s search for truth, concerning this subject!**

.

And by so-doing, those who do continue to prayerfully and carefully study all these things, will undoubtedly become increasingly aware that the churches are growing more and more apostate.

.

And as a result, these earnest truth-seekers will begin to warn others against this apostasy, so that we might be free from the blood of others, as Ezekiel warns… “But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned…his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” Ezekiel 33:6.

A CHRISTIAN WORLD-VIEW?

.

Dr. George Barna, a Christian pollster (click here to read), found that only 4% of Americans possessed a Bible-based world-view. There were seven biblically fundamental beliefs which this survey asked participants. And the results weren’t that much better for churchgoers!

.

For example, one of the questions asked “Born-Again” churchgoers was this:

QUESTION: “You have a unique, God-given calling or purpose for your life”

Yes, 88% (asked prior to the pandemic in 2020)

No, 46% (asked this year, 2023)

These two responses showed a drop of 42 points in churchgoer’s belief of being called and used by God, since prior to the pandemic!!!

“LIFT UP THY VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET!”

.

So, the more we know of the truth, the more that our responsibility increases to warn those who sit in darkness, within God’s house.

.

And as we increase in understanding, we will more and more “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1.

“THE DAY…WHEN THE TOWERS FALL!”

.

But the very Good News is, that we will be delighted when we discover that God has provided an abundance of spiritual waters “upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers (churches-Ed.) fall.” Isaiah 30.

.

Yes, God is just now beginning to shower His people with living waters, and heavenly bread… “He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.” Isaiah 33:16

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

***REVELATION 12* *TAKES PLACE IN HEAVEN***

“And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman…And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder (sign) in heaven; and behold a great red dragon…And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…And the woman fled into the wilderness…And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon…And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness…And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood…” Revelation 12: 1-4, 6, 7, 14, 15 (condensed)

This above passage is a very condensed version of Revelation, Ch. 12. (To read entire Chapter 12, click here)

.

From time to time, the Book of Revelation mentions stars. But when we get to Revelation Chapter 12, it speaks of two “great signs in heaven”. First, it speaks of the sign in heaven of a woman with child. Then it speaks of the sign in heaven of a great red dragon, with a tail that sweeps one-third of the stars and casts these stars down to the earth. So we get the sense that this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens. And these two signs in heaven, a woman, and a dragon, are a big part of this website, Signs Of Heaven.

.

And so this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.

What really gives validity to this idea, is that God created the Universe in such a way, that if one looks at the major constellations, then this Revelation 12 scenario can be seen. So please read on. And if you really want to see this heavenly battle, you just might. It will take some real effort on your part. But through prayer, faith, and study of the site, God may just graciously open your eyes to see this amazing story written on the heavenly scroll above. But don’t wait! This heavenly scroll will soon be rolled up, just as it is written… “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;” Revelation 6:14

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS-SEEN IN FALL: This sketch to the right is how this constellation group appears in the eastern sky in fall. This is the four primary constellations of the Winter Constellations. They can be seen in this position, in the late fall above the eastern horizon. The Woman of Revelation 12 is commonly called Ursa Major or The Big Dipper and appears in the north. Orion the Soldier is the at the bottom is to the south of the Woman. The The Dragon of Revelation Constellation’s mouth is The Hyades Cluster, and the tip of his tail is Pleiades, and his Wave of Water is primarily the Auriga constellation. The Glorious Horse Constellation head is of Perseus Constellation and his rear end is Cassiopeia Constellation.
