Jeremiah Chapter 51 verse six

"FLEE OUT OF THE MIDST OF BABYLON, AND DELIVER EVERY MAN HIS SOUL; BE NOT CUT OFF IN HER INIQUITY, FOR THIS IS THE TIME OF THE LORD'S VENGEANCE, HE WILL RENDER UNTO HER A RECOMPENSE". I am saying to you as an apostle of God, with all the authority God has placed in me, this verse is the cry of God's heart for every single saint on earth today. Prophetically speaking, we have all entered into the "time of the Lord's vengeance". As surely as we must flee fornication (1 Cor:6:18), as surely as we must flee idolatry (1 Cor:10:14), so must we flee from Babylon, the source of idolatry and fornication in the earth today (Rev:18:4). Flee, he says! Run as fast as you can! Don't pause to think about it GET OUT! We're talking of an (eternal) life or death situation here! Deliver your soul, be not cut off in her iniquity. Remember, God judges not only those in rebellion against him, but those found in the midst of those in rebellion to him.
This might be an appropriate time to comment on the teaching "once saved, always saved". This teaching purports that you can become born again, then turn your back on God and live for the devil your whole life and yet make it to Heaven, no problem. This is like saying a woman or man can get married, then leave their spouse, become an adulterer, but expect to remain in their spouses house and receive an inheritance! Many are called into the Body of Christ but few are chosen to go on to become his bride. Saint, the salvation of our God is more precious than any other love we'll ever know, but it comes to us through covenant. Both parties must keep the terms of the covenant for it to remain valid. It isn't enough for us to say a pledge of love to him, we must consummate the marriage, we must do and obey what he tells ut to, we must walk with him, becoming more and more intimate with him each day, till one day, the world can't tell us apart. Carefully study Jeremiah chapter three, especially verse eight - "And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not but went and played the harlot also". Look at verse 14 - "Turn O backsliding children saith The Lord for I am married to you and I will take you one of a city and two of a family(out of Babylon) and I will bring you (back) to Zion". Hear the passion in God's heart for his people! Hear his heart's cry! As much as he loved her he still divorced her for adultery, though he later took her back. And do you O christian, say this concerns the jews only; I have a better covenant, a more sure word of prophecy? "Be not high-minded but fear: for if God spared not the natural branches (Israel), take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore both the goodness and severity of God (behold both the lamb and the lion): on them which fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off" (Rom:11:20-22). This and many other verses (Rev:22:19, Psalm 2:12) show us our salvation is final and eternal as long as we finish the race, not just start it. We must continue to walk and talk with him daily. We must fulfill our side of the covenant by becoming his bride, by being intimate with him (kiss the son, lest he become angry).WE MUST CONSUMMATE OUR WEDDING VOWS for know you not that when you pledged yourself to him at the altar it was a wedding altar? The bottom line is we can't live like Hell and go to Heaven. We must obey him; we must FLEE out of Babylon, out of all fornication of body and spirit, out of pride. So many believe because they came out of Egypt (sin), because they said a "sinners prayer", they are home free but that prayer at that altar was the start of our salvation, it opened the door. After the door (Jesus) is opened to us, we must step through and keep on walking till we arrive at the Father. Many know Jesus but not the Father. Our salvation must be "worked out with fear and trembling". If we work it out with "pride and haughtiness" we won't make it (Ph:2:12 & 1 Cor:2:1).
