Verse eight is the very heartbeat of God's will for all of his people today - "Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans and be as the he goats before the flocks". Like our father Abraham before us so must we all obey God as he calls out of "the land of the Chaldeans" - the place of religious bondage many in churches are caught in. We must separate ourselves from religion in all its subtle forms for it is all as filthy rags before God. Just as only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us from sin, so can only the Holy Spirit cleanse us from the spirit of religion blanketing this fallen world. As Satan led his angels, fallen from Heaven, in rebellion against God, so is he doing now with man, though I suspect he is leading more than one third of men astray.
Why should we obey God and let him deliver our hearts out of the "midst of Babylon?" Listen, "For lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the North country: and they shall set themselves in array against her, from thence she will be taken: their arrows shall be as a mighty, expert man; none shall return in vain". Arrows in scripture typically represent prophecy - prophetic words sent forth from the mouth of the Lord. The prophets God is raising up today truly are "mighty expert men" in the Spirit, some even greater than the prophets we read about in scripture. Some will even have a world wide impact with their prophecies. Nothing they speak will "return in vain" for they will walk in true humility. Through these Apostles and Prophets, through their ministries in the earth today, Babylon will fall.
"And Chaldea shall be as a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye DESTROYERS OF MINE HERITAGE, because ye have grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert". Hear the cry of God's heart - "O ye destroyers of mine heritage, you will be destroyed!" God is jealous over his heritage, his inheritance. What is his inheritance? It is us! It is his Covenant people, whether Jew or Christian. It is every precious soul he died for - snatched from him and swallowed up in Babylon (Rev:18:13). As she spoiled God's heritage, so shall she be spoiled. Notice the feminine derivative in verses 9 & 10, SHE shall be taken, all that spoil HER. This is purposeful for Revelation 17 reveals Babylon to be a great whore and mother of harlots. It is amazing to me how those used in Babylon to destroy God's heritage, pastors and church leaders, rejoice to do so! They are all in for quite a shock on the Judgment day. I hope and pray they repent before it's too late.
This blog is my effort to share God's mind and most importantly, heart, as He shares them with me. I make a genuine effort to commune with Him daily and hear from Him. .Some poems are from Him to me, others from me to Him but all revelation shared is, I pray, from the Holy Spirit and not my carnal, soulish opinion. Please comment as you see fit. He is calling us all into His Holy of Holies.....let us all respond to his divine invitation for intimacy with a heart felt YES! SOS 2:11
