End Time Babylon – Part 10 of 11
Come out…The End Time Plan
Revelation 18:3-4 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." (4) And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
For the last 9 segments, I have been working my way through the Bible to show why I believe the USA is the end-time Harlot Babylon. This is intense information, and an incredibly unpopular concept. But, I think the evidence is overwhelming. In fact, to actually take the time to read the EXTENSIVE and detailed descriptions of the end-time Babylon, and not conclude that at least the USA is potentially the location described would actually be unreasonable. No other location, at no other time in history, has experienced the level of luxurious entertained living, global prominence, cultural influence, and economic impact the USA has in the world right now.
I believe the primary reason this is nearly NEVER discussed in churches is because we do not obey the simple instruction of God, which is to read the Book of Revelation to the church. This is the ONLY book in the Bible that carries a promised blessing to those who read and teach it, yet it is BY FAR one of the least-taught books in the Bible:
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
Revelation 22:6-7 Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. (7) "Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."
The reason we don’t publicly teach Revelation is because it is intense and unpopular information. It is intense and unpopular because considering the information FORCES a choice: respond to it or ignore it and go with the flow. It is very difficult to read Revelation and not respond to it…that makes us uncomfortable. We like COMFORT. The main problem in the end time Babylon is actually COMFORT!! Isaiah 47 shines light on this exact issue:
Isaiah 47:1-15 "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate (she doesn’t really work much for a living anymore, this luxurious Babylon).
(Chaldean means: Noun 1. Chaldean - a wise man skilled in occult learning; Chaldaean, Chaldee occultist - a believer in occultism; someone versed in the occult arts.
Occult is the “mystery Babylon religion”…the satan-behind-Nimrod hidden satanic religion…represented by the all seeing eye. This is what the ziggurat, the tower of Babel was all about. The people at the top of the pyramid know something the masses don’t, that the man who can convince the world he is “god and king” can keep everyone in submission. Pharaoh at the top of his “holy mountain”…Nimrod at the top of his “holy mountain.” If you don’t know what I mean, look at the back of a $1 bill.)
(she WILL work again…just to stay alive) (2) Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. (3) Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man." (4) As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel. (5) "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms (Lady Liberty?).
(Now here comes God’s final complaint against the land of luxury: she has the people of Israel in “her hand,” and instead of recognizing this great privilege, she crushes them)
(6) I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
(The USA has completely forgotten that her global standing was entirely tied to her establishment in covenant with God! She has forgotten all loyalty to God, because she has made government her provider and keeper. She has the false idea that her liberty is her God…she is about to be seriously corrected and has no idea)
(7) And you said, 'I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them. (8) "Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely (this is the cost of giving your life over to seeking comfort before God) , Who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children'; (9) But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries (sorcery is so acceptable in the sight of our people that we feed it to our children as entertainment, even in the church) , For the great abundance of your enchantments. (10) "For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, 'No one sees me'; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me.' (11) Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.
(12) "Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth— Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail. (13) You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels (picture the country with the most 24/7 news pundits…prognosticators. Prognosticators who didn’t see 911…prognosticators who didn’t see the economic collapse of 2008…the stock market crash…tarp…the QE nightmare…children murdering, and being murdered, daily in schools…millions of babies killed by abortion…the emergence of a 24/7 Big Brother surveillance system that sees you reading this very post right now….the soon coming global economic collapse that will lead to a global currency) ; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you.
(This is what continuing to listen to the soothing prognosticators will do)
(14) Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame;
(God isn’t talking about a symbolic fire…he isn’t talking about a bonfire…this will leave the land desolate)
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before! (15) Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.
(when this happens, every country who has gotten rich off of our excess will simply walk away)
This will happen. The problem is, the end time Babylon is FILLED with Christians, according to the Bible:
Revelation 18:23-24 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. (24) And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."
God will never abandon His church, but will His church agree with Him about what to do? Right now, the whole church is in what is called the “Valley of Decision.” In the USA the church is almost entirely blind (needing eye salve) to the need to make the decision, because she refuses to teach Revelation. BUT, that doesn’t change the fact that a decision IS necessary. This is the choice before the USA church (and the whole globe): Put all of your trust in worshiping and praying to God for rescue while there is still time, or go with the humanistic alternative…the man-based plan to make the earth peaceful, prosperous, and fair. The antichrist offers himself to the world as the agent of hope and change…to do this, he desires to fundamentally change the end-time Babylon….his home base. Right now, this is the valley you and I are in. God is “hemming” us in…driving us, by the severe situation in the land….to make this choice:
Joel 3:9-14 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up. (10) Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears;
(ok, here is one of the most wrongly quoted statements in the Bible:)
Let the weak say, 'I am strong.' "
(God is not saying, in this context, that this is a good thing to say! This is not the correct response! The correct response is humility and REPENTANCE…not to declare “I am strong”)
(11) Assemble and come, all you nations, And gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there (into the valley of decision), O LORD. (12) "Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. (13) Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; For the winepress is full, The vats overflow— For their wickedness is great." (14) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
The valley of decision IS the same as the Valley of Jehoshaphat. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. Jehoshaphat has ONE valley he is famous for. It is THIS valley (the story is long and detailed, so I will give the highlights here):
2 Chronicles 20:1-30 It happened after this that the people of Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat. (2) Then some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar" (which is En Gedi). (3) And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. (4) So Judah gathered together to ask help from the LORD; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
(14) Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. (15) And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.
(17) You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you." (18) And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.
(20) So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper." (21) And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should SING to the LORD, and who should PRAISE the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever." (22) Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
(29) And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel. (30) Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
This is the valley we are in! THIS is choice we must make: Do we sing our way through the next 7 years, or do we go with everyone else trusting government, and the world’s greatest man to fix things?
This is why God is miraculously raising up 24/7 prayer all over the USA, and the rest of the globe. Everywhere that chooses to make singing and praying their strength as THE ONLY END TIME PLAN THERE IS, will be utterly blessed as a sign to the rest of the world that God is the only God. This will release the fear of the Lord globally, as God causes places that don’t sing as their strength to become utterly desolate, and places the DO sing as their strength to flourish in protection. This is the ONLY end time plan there is for the end time Church. This is what God’s people in Babylon are supposed to do: come out of the comfort and luxury of Babylon INTO the 24/7 House of Prayer. Stop mostly dreaming about cars and houses, retirement, the kids college fund, the family vacation and get yourself into the only safe place there will be in the time of the most extreme trouble the globe HAS EVER SEEN. The trouble will come like a flood…in one hour…and it will burn the desolate parts of our country like a fire. For real.
Very few seem to know this is the only plan. WHY? Because almost no one reads or teaches Revelation, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Malachi, Habbakuk, any other minor prophet, 1st Chronicles, the warning parts of the epistles, Matthew 24!!! We keep rehashing the same salvation, grace, and revival messages …giving comfort and unrealistic hope to people that are supposed to be all out preparing for the most extreme time to ever hit planet earth.
There IS true hope and revival comes with it. This really is the greatest time to ever be alive and in agreement with God. But it is the most terrible time to be alive an out of agreement with God.
That true hope is to agree with God about the “Tabernacle of David.” That is the “key” to the REAL hope. Listen to what Jesus tells the Philadelphia. This is the church of “brotherly love”, doing the hard work of unity to work together to agree with God about His only end-time plan for the church, which is to rebuild the Tabernacle of David in their city:
Revelation 3:7-12 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "HE WHO HAS THE KEY OF DAVID
(what was David’s key? The Tabernacle Worship…this unlocked everything in Israel for Him. “One thing do I desire”)
, HE WHO OPENS AND NO ONE SHUTS, AND SHUTS AND NO ONE OPENS": (8) "I know your works (they are praying night and day and the fruit is pouring out in the streets…this is KHOP/JLK). See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. (9) Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship (this is all about worship. Those who refuse to see this is God’s plan will worship one way or the other) before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. (10) Because you have kept My command to persevere (in the Tabernacle buiding), I also will keep you from the hour of trial
(Jesus prayed in John 17:15 “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.” This isn’t talking about the rapture, this is talking about keeping the City of Refuge…the Tabernacle location THROUGH the Tribulation)
which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. (11) Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. (12) He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
David, David, David…why is the Bible always talking about David?! Because David was the “man after God’s own heart.” Following David into night and day…24/7…4,000 singers and musicians….24,000 workers keeping the music going day and night so that earth might agree with heaven, that revival might be poured out so that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord might be saved…prayer to music is the ONLY hope.
Every other hope….the hope that says “hang in there and it will all work out in revival” is FALSE HOPE. For real. This is what God says about His ONLY plan for the shaking of all things, and what giving false comfort in THIS time will do:
Amos 9:9-13 "For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations (this is global), As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground (no one who truly agrees with God will be lost). (10) All the sinners of My people (sinners of YOUR PEOPLE!? Do you mean Christians, God?) shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.' (11) "On that day (the day of the shaking) I will raise up The tabernacle of David (night and day prayer to music), which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; (12) (why God?) That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name (oh, that would be Christians saved in a great harvest!)," Says the LORD who does this thing. (13) "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. (this Tabernacle of David thing will ACTUALLY make the land not desolate!...it will protect it from being “burned with fire”)
This is how you “come out of Babylon.” You agree with God that night and day prayer will actually protect your city when it all goes down. If you stay in Babylon, you WILL share in her punishment. To the degree you agree with God, to the degree you make HIM your plan…that is the degree you will feel the pain of the shaking, for real. Everyone gets what they want.
This is an end-time Psalm (from David’s night and day tabernacle BTW). This is describing the Tribulation:
Psalms 91:1-10 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." (3) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. (4) He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. (5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, (6) Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. (7) A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. (8) Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. (9) Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, (10) No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
This is God’s message to the Church in the USA. The church in the end-time Babylon is primarily characterized as the “Laodicean Church.” Before the Tribulation begins…before Jesus takes the scroll from the Father in Revelation 5, and before the Great Tribulation judgments are released in Revelation 6...before the start of the intensity that will burn the Harlot in the 3.5 years leading up to the Great Tribulation…Jesus tells the church how to prepare! He specifically addresses 7 characteristic churches in the time leading up to the Tribulation. He tells them EXACTLY how to “overcome” the tribulation. This is what He is saying to the USA Church..the church in Babylon:
Revelation 3:14-22 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: (15) "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. (16) So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. (17) Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— (18) I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (21) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (22) "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ' "
More soon…
Revelation 18:3-4 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." (4) And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

(21) And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should SING to the LORD, and who should PRAISE the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever." (22) Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
(29) And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel. (30) Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
This is the valley we are in! THIS is choice we must make: Do we sing our way through the next 7 years, or do we go with everyone else trusting government, and the world’s greatest man to fix things?
This is why God is miraculously raising up 24/7 prayer all over the USA, and the rest of the globe. Everywhere that chooses to make singing and praying their strength as THE ONLY END TIME PLAN THERE IS, will be utterly blessed as a sign to the rest of the world that God is the only God. This will release the fear of the Lord globally, as God causes places that don’t sing as their strength to become utterly desolate, and places the DO sing as their strength to flourish in protection. This is the ONLY end time plan there is for the end time Church. This is what God’s people in Babylon are supposed to do: come out of the comfort and luxury of Babylon INTO the 24/7 House of Prayer. Stop mostly dreaming about cars and houses, retirement, the kids college fund, the family vacation and get yourself into the only safe place there will be in the time of the most extreme trouble the globe HAS EVER SEEN. The trouble will come like a flood…in one hour…and it will burn the desolate parts of our country like a fire. For real.
Very few seem to know this is the only plan. WHY? Because almost no one reads or teaches Revelation, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Malachi, Habbakuk, any other minor prophet, 1st Chronicles, the warning parts of the epistles, Matthew 24!!! We keep rehashing the same salvation, grace, and revival messages …giving comfort and unrealistic hope to people that are supposed to be all out preparing for the most extreme time to ever hit planet earth.
There IS true hope and revival comes with it. This really is the greatest time to ever be alive and in agreement with God. But it is the most terrible time to be alive an out of agreement with God.
That true hope is to agree with God about the “Tabernacle of David.” That is the “key” to the REAL hope. Listen to what Jesus tells the Philadelphia. This is the church of “brotherly love”, doing the hard work of unity to work together to agree with God about His only end-time plan for the church, which is to rebuild the Tabernacle of David in their city:
Revelation 3:7-12 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "HE WHO HAS THE KEY OF DAVID
(what was David’s key? The Tabernacle Worship…this unlocked everything in Israel for Him. “One thing do I desire”)
, HE WHO OPENS AND NO ONE SHUTS, AND SHUTS AND NO ONE OPENS": (8) "I know your works (they are praying night and day and the fruit is pouring out in the streets…this is KHOP/JLK). See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. (9) Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship (this is all about worship. Those who refuse to see this is God’s plan will worship one way or the other) before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. (10) Because you have kept My command to persevere (in the Tabernacle buiding), I also will keep you from the hour of trial
(Jesus prayed in John 17:15 “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.” This isn’t talking about the rapture, this is talking about keeping the City of Refuge…the Tabernacle location THROUGH the Tribulation)
which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. (11) Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. (12) He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
David, David, David…why is the Bible always talking about David?! Because David was the “man after God’s own heart.” Following David into night and day…24/7…4,000 singers and musicians….24,000 workers keeping the music going day and night so that earth might agree with heaven, that revival might be poured out so that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord might be saved…prayer to music is the ONLY hope.
Every other hope….the hope that says “hang in there and it will all work out in revival” is FALSE HOPE. For real. This is what God says about His ONLY plan for the shaking of all things, and what giving false comfort in THIS time will do:
Amos 9:9-13 "For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations (this is global), As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground (no one who truly agrees with God will be lost). (10) All the sinners of My people (sinners of YOUR PEOPLE!? Do you mean Christians, God?) shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.' (11) "On that day (the day of the shaking) I will raise up The tabernacle of David (night and day prayer to music), which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; (12) (why God?) That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name (oh, that would be Christians saved in a great harvest!)," Says the LORD who does this thing. (13) "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. (this Tabernacle of David thing will ACTUALLY make the land not desolate!...it will protect it from being “burned with fire”)
This is how you “come out of Babylon.” You agree with God that night and day prayer will actually protect your city when it all goes down. If you stay in Babylon, you WILL share in her punishment. To the degree you agree with God, to the degree you make HIM your plan…that is the degree you will feel the pain of the shaking, for real. Everyone gets what they want.
This is an end-time Psalm (from David’s night and day tabernacle BTW). This is describing the Tribulation:
Psalms 91:1-10 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." (3) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. (4) He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. (5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, (6) Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. (7) A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. (8) Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. (9) Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, (10) No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
This is God’s message to the Church in the USA. The church in the end-time Babylon is primarily characterized as the “Laodicean Church.” Before the Tribulation begins…before Jesus takes the scroll from the Father in Revelation 5, and before the Great Tribulation judgments are released in Revelation 6...before the start of the intensity that will burn the Harlot in the 3.5 years leading up to the Great Tribulation…Jesus tells the church how to prepare! He specifically addresses 7 characteristic churches in the time leading up to the Tribulation. He tells them EXACTLY how to “overcome” the tribulation. This is what He is saying to the USA Church..the church in Babylon:
Revelation 3:14-22 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: (15) "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. (16) So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. (17) Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— (18) I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (21) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (22) "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ' "
