Jeremiah Chapter 50 KJV verse five

"They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, come and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual Covenant that shall not be forgotten".
This is the single most important question any of us can ask the Lord, who are lost and in bondage in Babylon - "How can I get to Zion?" Really, if we set our hearts to truly know him and obey him, we will be crying out for freedom from the religious bondage "christians" around the world are in. And we will remain faithful and true to the covenant the Lord has cut with us. It will be perpetual, it will always be kept. We must all seek the way out of Babylon to Zion, to God's dwelling place, with our faces thitherward. Not just saying we want out of Babylon, but going and weeping (going with the right attitude of brokeness and repentance). "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord, our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem, for there are set thrones of judgment" Psalm 122:1,2,5.
"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea we wept when we remembered Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? If I forget thee O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I prefer not Jerusalem over my chief joy. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us, happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones" Psalm 137.
I ask you, what is your chief joy? Is it movies, lust, fishing, etc.? Or is it the Lord, his eternal dwelling place, the New Jerusalem? At the time the psalm was written his dwelling place was the Jerusalem in Israel. But in Psalm 137 we find God's desire and passion being passed to us - a deep longing for Zion (Zion is Jerusalem, spiritually). In other words, we must all ache to return to him, with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength. Jerusalem is a physical manifestation of a spiritual reality for it is where he has chosen to call home and we must all dwell there with him, first in spirit, then in truth. We must hate Babylon as much as we love Zion, so much so that we "rejoice to dash her little ones against the stones". In other words, Babylon is so devastated, her very seed is destroyed so she can never bear fruit again, Hallelujah! She cannot and will not continue.
Of whom will they "ask the way to Zion?" The Holy Spirit. He alone can lead us and guide us into all Truth but who does the Holy Spirit use to show the way to Zion? His Holy apostles and prophets, just as he has always done so does he now. As proof positive, I received an email yesterday from a prophet out of Texas and let me tell you, it was wonderful for it truly was the voice of the Holy Spirit resonating throughout. He said in the email what I have been teaching for twenty years and I will try to copy and paste it to this site for you tommorrow.
Zion is the true seat of judgment and authority on earth. "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion" Psalm 2:6, even as the kings of the earth take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed, he shall laugh at them and then speak to them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure (Psalm 2). The word laugh in that psalm means "to strut about as a lion". This is no lamb we're seeing here, no from Calvary the lamb goes to Mt. Zion where he becomes the mighty lion of Judah who will roar his judgments over all the earth. We must all say in fear and trembling "Let us join ourselves to the Lord (not to man or any man-made, man run, man ruled church, denomination or group) but to the Lord himself, in a "perpetual covenant that shall never be forgotten" or broken. We must be one in spirit, not flesh. With man ruling our fellowships are fleshly and carnal. We must be willing to join with each other in this spiritual covenant for it is the new covenant of the blood of Jesus that makes us "One Body and One Spirit in One Hope in One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism. One God and Father of all". Does this sound like the state of christianity today, with it's many denominations and camps? Remember the Lord's prayer? OUR Father, not MY Father. He is constantly drawing us together as one whereas the religious spirit of Babylon is constantly seeking to draw us apart. THE BODY OF CHRIST IS NOT DIVIDED BUT IS "ONE AS HE IS ONE". "Come let us" is the right attitude and heart all saints should take today. "Come let us JOIN OURSELVES TO THE LORD" is the right heart, not "Come visit my church, come to my fellowship and join us, come and become a baptist or a presbyterian or a catholic or" ect, and on and on forever.
Where there is division, they are submitting to another spirit, living in Babylon, in bondage. Selah.
