WARNINGSIf :• Worship the beast and his image• Receive the mark in his forehead or his right hand

CONSEQUENCESThen:• They will drink the wine of God’s wrath• They will be tormented with fire• They will burn

URGENCY VS. CLARITY

Why should people come out of Babylon, when they don’t even understand what Babylon really is all

about?

• Babylon: First angel’s message• Babylon: Fear God• Babylon: Glory to God• Babylon: Believe God’s judgment hour is come

Then why would there be such an urgency and clarity of warning to come out of Babylon?

FAILURE TO COME OUT OF BABYLON...?

JOHN 8:42, 43Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:10-12And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
