Babylon is Fallen!

 How does this phrase relate to the church in tribulation? Let's examine.              THE DOOR OR GATE: CHRIST? Mt 24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is NIGH: Mt 24:33  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is NEAR, {} AT THE DOORS. Joh 10:9  I am THE DOOR: by me if any man <<enter in>>, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Re 22:14  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may <<enter in>> through THE GATES into the city. Re 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open THE DOOR, I will <<come in to him>>, and will sup with him, and he with me. Re 21:25  And THE GATES of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. Col 4:3  Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a DOOR OF UTTERANCE

 Judgment and Salvation: Could "DESCENDING" be a reference to the Fall of Babylon?  LADDER:  Ge 28:12  And he dreamed, and behold a ladder <05551> set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ASCENDING and DESCENDING on it. Joh 1:51  And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ASCENDING and DESCENDING upon the <Son of man>. Ex 9:17  As yet exaltest <05549> thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? Job 19:12  His troops come together, and raise up <05549> their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. Job 30:12  Upon [my] right [hand] rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up <05549> against me the ways of their destruction. Isa 57:14  And shall say, Cast ye up <05549>, cast ye up <05549>, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. Isa 62:10  Go t

 Could the Time Appointed be tying into the FEAST Days on the calendar? Let's examine. APPOINTED TIME: TIED INTO THE FEAST DAYS? Ex 23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib (Nisan - passover); for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty. Ex 12:2 This month (Nisan) shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Ex 9:4  And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel. Ex 9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. Ge 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 2Sa 24:15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the

 Is GOD the Little Help who redeems His People from Judgment? Let's examine. EVIL: TRIBULATION AND JUDGMENT?  Jer 25:29 For, lo, I begin to bring EVIL on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. Jer 44:27 Behold, I will watch over them for EVIL, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. Pr 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of EVIL. 2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of TRUTH shall be EVIL spoken of. Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from EVIL: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. ABSTAIN: AVOIDING SPIRITUAL FORNICATION?   1Th 5:22  ABSTAIN from all appearance of EVIL. Ac 15:20

 Who are the Antichrists who confess NOT that Christs has come in the flesh? ANTICHRIST: ADVERSARY, THAT WHICH IS IN OPPOSITION TO CHRIST - THE CHURCH? 2Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for {that day shall not come}, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Th 2:4  Who OPPOSETH and EXALTETH himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Isa 14:13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will EXALT my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Da 7:25  And HE shall speak great words AGAINST the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 2Co 11:13  For such are FALSE APOSTLES, DECEITFUL workers, transfor

 Is the command to go into All the World one to only reach the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel? GOING INTO ALL THE WORLD: GOING TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL?  Mr 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into **all the WORLD**, and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. Mt 15:24  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the LOST SHEEP of the house of Israel. Mt 10:5-6  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:… But go rather to the LOST SHEEP of the house of Israel. Lu 19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was LOST. Ro 11:15  For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the WORLD, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? Ps 119:176  I have gone astray like a LOST SHEEP; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. 1Pe 2:25  For ye were as SHEEP have gone ASTRAY; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and

Could the language of "ALL Israel Shall be Saved" be pointing to the redemption of the Church at the revelation of Christ? BLINDNESS IN PART: IMPERFECT BODY LEADING TO AND THROUGH TRIBULATION? Ro 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (sealing of the 144,000?). 2Co 3:14  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail <2571> untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail <2571> is upon their heart. 2Co 3:16  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail <2571> shall be taken away. 1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 1Co 13:12 For now we see th

 Was the great tribulation shortened for the sake of the Elect? Let's examine. TRIBULATION: 23 YEARS 1Co 10:8  Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Nu 25:9  And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. Re 2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Mt 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mr 13:19  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. Re 16:18  And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. De 4:30  When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the

 How does the resurrection of Christ relate to the Elect coming out of Babylon? Let's examine. JUDGMENT PROPHESIED BUT NOT UNDERSTOOD Mr 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Lu 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Da 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Lu 24:44  And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Lu 24:46  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved C

 Could Afar Off be pointing to the death of the Church that started with the great tribulation? AFAR OFF: TRIBULATION WHERE THE ELECT EVENTUALLY FIND REDEMPTION (COME OUT OF BABYLON)? Ex 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. Ex 20:21 And the people stood afar off <07350>, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. De 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far <07350>, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; Ps 10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? Ps 38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off <07350>. Ps 65:5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea

 Did the Church violate Revelation 22:18-19 when it fell away from truth in tribulation? Let's examine. BOOK AND PROPHECY: THE BIBLE? Re 22:18  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Re 22:19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. De 12:32  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. De 4:2  Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Jer 26:2  Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all

 Looking at the possibility that Adam typifies the Church while Moses points to Christ.     MOSES: TYPE OF CHRIST? Ac 3:22  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. Heb 3:1  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Heb 3:2  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.   ADAM:  TYPE OF THE CHURCH AND CHRIST? 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam (man, earth, red) was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 1Co 15:49  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. FROM ADAM TO MOSES: FROM THE SINFUL CHURCH TO CHRIST? Ro 5:14 Nevertheless death

 How does Hebrews 11:35 tie into the affliction of the Elect in tribulation? Let's examine. AFFLICTION: TRIBULATION ENDURED BY GOD’S PEOPLE? Heb 11:35  Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were <tortured>, **NOT accepting deliverance <5178>**; that they might obtain a better resurrection: <Strong's #5178: tumpanizo (pronounced toom-pan-id'-zo) from a derivative of 5180 (meaning a drum, "tympanum"); to stretch on an instrument of torture resembling a drum, and thus beat to death:--torture.> Heb 11:36  And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: Heb 11:37  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; Heb 11:38  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Heb 11:39  And these all, h

 Could "being beaten with more than forty stripes" relate to the Church in Tribulation and God's judgment on Babylon? FORTY (40): TESTING – ELECT BEATEN IN TRIBULATION – CONTROVERSY IN THE CHURCH WITH UNRIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT? De 25:1 If there be a controversy <07379> between men <0582>, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. (Controversy: cause, strife, contention…) Isa 41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they <0582> that strive <07379> with thee shall perish. De 19:17 Then both the men <0582>, between whom the controversy <07379> is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; De 17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being mat

How does the Abomination of Desolation relate the Church coming into the great tribulation? Let's examine. TRIBULATION: ABOMINATION OF JUDAH Mr 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: Lu 21:20  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Lu 19:43  For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, Re 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Da 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Ma
