shrink back.

Yes, there are many other things which characterize Babylon: her sensuality, her
pride, her idolatry, her love of the world and the things in it; her persecution of the
saints; her pagan practices; her heresies; her false forms and traditions, but all of
these are the result of her lack of faith in Yahshua and her failure to enter into rest.
This is the land that the people of God are being directed to come out from.

Babylon is many places. Babylon is America and New York City. Babylon is the
Roman Catholic Church and her many denominational daughters. Babylon is all of
these and more. The call to come out will impact each child of God in different ways,
but the Spirit will lead all who have ears to hear.

Like Abraham who left Ur of the Chaldees to go to a land of promise he had never
seen, so too are many today being called out in this hour. Abraham had to leave
family and friends behind, and so too must many of those today. When Yahweh calls,
we dare not disobey. We must gladly entrust ourselves into His care. It is a good and
a prosperous land set before us. Yahweh’s delight is in the people of Zion. As Moses
said to the people of Israel when they left another land of captivity:

Deuteronomy 6:23
He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land
which He had sworn to our fathers.

The land before us is Yahweh Himself. He is our inheritance and our portion in the
land. The heritage of Zion is beautiful and lovely beyond compare. May the way
before you be made plain and may you know His presence as you journey along the
way.
