“And he (an angel) cried mightily with a strong voice,

saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen… 

And I heard another voice from Heaven,

saying, Come out of her, My people,

that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Revelation 18:2, 4

WHAT IS BABYLON, MOTHER OF HARLOTS?http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burgkmair_whore_babylon_color.jpg

.

For those who have discovered that the Bible is a totally spiritual revelation of the Gospel, they know that the City of Babylon actually represents the world and the worldly portion of the Church, the Mystery Harlot of Revelation 17.

.

(This 500-year-old engraving is just one of many, which shows that Christians understood this concept back in the days when God’s people were being physically persecuted by Antichrist!)

.

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 why God considers today’s churches to be spiritual Babylon.

CITY OF CONFUSIONhttp://www.creationism.org/images/DoreBibleIllus/aGen1106Dore_TheConfusionOfTongues.jpg

.

Babylon was given its name during the building of that infamous Tower of Babylon, because God confused their speech…

.

Listen… “Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” Genesis 11:9

.

And so, the name, Babylon, actually means, “City of Confusion”.

“WHO HATH BABBLING”

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dunfermline_City_Chambers_-_geograph.org.uk_-_462294.jpg

.

Now, speaking of confusion of tongues, the Bible has some very unflattering words about those who are given to drunkenness. 

.

Listen to Solomon’s description of a drunkard… “Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine…” Proverbs 23:29-32 (condensed, but to read entire quote, click here)

.

Here in this above passage, it speaks of, “who has babbling?” And so, this idea of babbling is also connected with drunkenness.

THE WINE OF BABYLON

.The Pleiades: Mystery Babylon: Mother of Harlots

The Mystery Harlot of Revelation, Chapters 17 & 18, is spoken of thus… “Babylon the great is fallen…For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her…” Revelation 18:2, 3

.

This reference to the harlot city, is speaking of the apostate portion of the Church. And to a great degree, the entire world has suffered the results from the apostasy within the Church, as is written… “all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication …”.

PRESENT-DAY BABBLING

.

There is a present-day phenomenon, known as “tongues”, which claims to be the biblical gift spoken of in the New Testament, but is nothing more than vain babbling.

.

And though it is merely a counterfeit, make no mistake! There is an unseen power behind this phenomenon!

.

Listen… “And then shall that Wicked be revealed…whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2nd Thessalonians 2:8, 9

.

As this above passage reveals, Satan will be allowed to counterfeit the Holy Spirit in these last days, with, “all power and signs and lying wonders”! 

.

And this phenomenon known as “tongues” looks like the real thing.

WE STUMBLE IN JUDGMENT

.

Listen to Isaiah’s assessment of today’s situation… “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and thhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tissot_Isaiah.jpge prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” Isaiah 28:7, 8

.

This above prophecy very appropriately applies to us today!

.

The Bible calls us priests, and this very much applies to our current situation!

.

It’s just that God has written many things in allegorical language, that must be revealed by the Holy Spirit in order to be properly understood.

“FOOLISH TALK & JESTING”

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PS_Kr%C3%B8yer_-_Hip_hip_hurra!_Kunstnerfest_p%C3%A5_Skagen_1888.jpg“But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient (not appropriate): but rather giving of thanks.” Ephesians 5:2, 3

.

This above passage reveals that God does not approve of silliness in the Church!

.

One aspect to drunkenness is that the drunkard thinks he (or she) is amusing. And when everyone else in the room is drunk, they do indeed seem amusing!

.

And so, there’s much joking, followed by much laughter, in any gathering where everyone is drunk.

THOMAS BROOKS ON FALSE TEACHERS”

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Billy_Sunday_at_the_White_House.jpg

Listen to a quote by Reformation author, Thomas Brooks, in his 1652 treatise, The 7 Characteristics of False Teachers“They preach more to please the ear than to profit the heart…False teachers handle holy things rather with wit and trifling, rather than with fear and reverence. False teachers are soul-murderers. They are like evil surgeons, that skin over the wound—but never heal it…False teachers are Hell’s greatest enrichers.”

.

Yes, irreverence is one sure quality of a false teacher.

.

And silliness is a common trait of drunkenness: either physical drunkenness or spiritual drunkenness!

WARNING SIGNS BEING GIVEN

.

But there are other signs which reveal that we have been drinking of that cup of wine of the great Mystery Harlot, Babylon!http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spiritualhealingjf6155_19.JPG

.

Yes, the church appears like a drunkard, whenever engaging in such phenomena as, “Falling Backwards” (Slain in the Spirit), “Drunk in the Spirit”, “Laughing in the Spirit”, and of course, “Babbling” (aka, “Tongues”).

.

And together with all the joking and laughter that goes on in the pulpits and pews these days, such signs are what typical drunkards do. Oh yes, and don’t forget the sensual music that is now beinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Snakehandling.png offered up in most congregations!

.

These are a signal and tip-off that spiritual drunkenness has overcome the church-world.

.

But God is allowing the Devil to perform these signs.

.

Oh yes, Satan is orchestrating these signs to deceive. But God is allowing it as a type of wake-up call, to make us realize that we have been drinking of the wine of Babylon.

GOOD NEWS!

.

The Good News is, that there is still time to make our End-time Exodus out of Babylon!

http://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_198722/William-Brassey-Hole/The-sorrow-of-king-David

.

And once we depart from this Mystery Harlot City, we will begin to sober up. And then, as we think back on our foolishness, we will forever be cured of wanting to drink from the Harlot’s golden cup!

.

“Come out of her, My people,

that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Revelation 18:2, 4

THE PLEIADES: MYSTERY HARLOT, AND CAPTIVE ANGEL

.

.pleiades_gendler-e1358291561622

The photo to the right is the Pleiades Cluster. Does it appear to you like an angel? Well, if it does, then you are encouraged to keep reading.

.

The above two verses concerning the Pleiades  are all the Bible has to say about the Pleiades, directly. But if you will read this article, you will discover that the Pleiades represents concepts which span much of the Bible! 

.

And The Heavens Declare.net will attempt to unravel this mysterious phenomenon in the night-sky, and will, hopefully, also interpret these two verses to show just what all this means, and how it might apply to our lives.

.

GOD’S PEOPLE TAKEN CAPTIVE

.

The Pleiades: Mystery Babylon: Mother of Harlots

.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 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 

.

God has a people in Babylon. Yes, Mystery Babylon is the Mother of Harlots. The sketch to the left shows her riding this beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.

.

Captive Angel Constellation

.

But in that spiritual city, there are those who still love God to a certain degree. And before the final plagues are poured out upon her, God has been and will continue to call His people out of her…

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 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

.

And so in addition to The Pleiades appearing as the Harlot Mother, we also see this second depiction of The Pleiades as an angel, which symbolizes God’s people, walking the downward pathway to destruction. They must be called out of Babylon before it’s too late!
