REVELATION 17: COME OUT FROM OUR
BABYLON
Revelation 17
reveals one of the most symbolic and powerful images in the Bible:
The
Woman (Babylon) and the Beast
This chapter explains the spiritual
system behind corruption, immorality, and opposition to God but
ultimately falls under God’s judgment.
First, What Is “Babylon”?
Babylon is not
just a place— it is a system – a corrupt world system.
It represents: worldliness,
compromise, pride, materialism, false worship, IDOLATRY, TRADITIONS, it is
acceptable by many, FALSE RELIGION.
Anything that pulls our hearts away from Jesus
Christ is Babylon - it may look successful, attractive, powerful – but in the
end we have no peace, we feel empty and lost.
Why is living
with our Babylon dangerous – because it is not the truth of our life – it is full
of compromise, deceit and eventually it will be judged.
What looks good and comfortable is not
always from God.
Second, Why God Says
“Get Out”
1.
To
Avoid Judgment - Babylon
is destined to fall. If we stay in it, we will share in its consequence.
2.
To
Stay Pure - God
calls His people to holiness. We cannot follow God and live like Babylon at the
same time.
3.
Because You Belong to God. - We are not of this world. You are set apart for
Jesus Christ
Third, how do we
“COME OUT” from our Babylon
1. Renew our Mind (Come Out in Your Mind)
- Reject
worldly thinking
- Renew your
mind with truth (Word of God)
2. Come Out in Your Lifestyle
- Let go of sin
and compromise
- Choose
righteousness daily
3. Come Out in Your Loyalty
- Stop
dividing your heart
- Choose God
fully
Fourth, coming
out from our Babylon is a struggle
Because
it offers comfort, it offers pleasure, it offers acceptance. But remember:
temporary pleasure leads to eternal
loss.
BUT WE NEED TO DECIDE NOW:
Today, God is
asking:
- What are you
holding onto?
- What is
keeping you in Babylon?
- What do you
need to let go of?
COME
OUT.
BE SET APART.
LIVE FOR GOD.
WE CANNOT STAY IN BABYLON
AND WALK WITH GOD.
