PRÉCIS ON THE URGENT NEED TO LEAVE BABYLON: TAKE NO THOUGHT OF ANY OTHER BUT TO DEPART!

SCRIPTURE. “Depart, depart, go out from there [the lands of exile]! Touch no unclean thing! Go out of the midst of her [Babylon]; cleanse yourselves and be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord [on your journey from there].” – ISAIAH 52:11, AMPC

KEY TERMS:

• “DEPART!” ‘Sur’ [ס֤וּרוּ]: “A primitive root, to turn off; to decline, eschew, leave undone; to withdraw, revolt [from]; ‘to put aside and be removed from the oppressor’s yoke;’ to bring to an end; to take off one’s rings and garments [of corruption]; remove the ark [from its present place]; to go from; to leave; to desist, as from a practice.”

• “CLEANSE!” ‘Barar’ [הִבָּ֕רוּ]: “A primitive root, to clarify, examine or brighten; ‘to purify or purge (out);’ to polish or make shine; to test or prove [by fire]; to select (that which is pious, good, honest, virtuous); to make clean; to remove filth, or foul matter of any kind; to free from ceremonial pollution, and consecrate to a holy use.”

QUOTATION. “They have plundered the world, stripping naked the land in their hunger … They are driven by greed, if their enemy be rich; by ambition, if poor … They ravage, they slaughter, they seize by false pretenses, and all of this they hail as the construction of Empire. And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that Peace.” ― TACITUS, The Agricola and The Germania, 98 AD; edited

COMMENTARY. “‘Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence.’ Make haste, O ye banished [ones]! To depart out of Babylon into your own land, that there I may meet with you, and bless you, and perform those further and greater things which I have promised there to do for you. And this invitation was the more necessary, because God foresaw that a great number of the Jews would upon worldly considerations continue in those foreign countries in which they were settled, and be very backward to return to the Holy Land.

‘Touch no unclean thing.’And when you go thence, take heed that you carry not along with you any of their superstitions or idolatries; but purify and prepare yourselves, that so God may return to you in mercy, when you return into your own land.

‘Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.’And especially you Priests and Levites, whose office it is to minister in holy things, and to carry back the holy vessels of the Temple, keep yourselves from all pollution!” – MATTHEW POOLE, English Annotations on the Holy Bible, 1685 (posthumously); edited

DK’S TAKE. The sheer power and relevance of this passage to the America of 2024 is, for me at least, undeniable. I have cited before and restate here the superb research by Bible scholar, author and seminarian (Dallas Theological), DR. STEVEN ANDERSON that America is the only nation that fits the Biblical description of Babylon the Great.

“In summary, the Book of Revelation describes Babylon the Great as the dominant superpower in the world of the End Times—so dominant, that it actually shapes the culture and economy of the world as it exists at the start of the Tribulation Period. The nature and scope of Babylon the Great’s dominance is such that only one such entity could ever exist in the history of the world, and there is no doubt that the United States of America is this entity. While some aspects of the Prophecy remain to be fulfilled—most notably the prophecies of Babylon the Great’s attempts to put Christians to death worldwide (Rev 17:6; 18:20, 24; 19:2)—enough aspects already match so as to leave no doubt as to the fulfillment of the rest.” – “The Case for Identifying Babylon the Great with the United States of America,” Truth Only Bible, July 2021; edited

CODA. I have done very nearly all I possibly can for the past several years to convince you that ‘DONALD TRUMP is the Antichrist, and AMERICA is Babylon the Great.’ Time is growing critically short now with the Presidential Election of November 5, 2024, just weeks away now that will undoubtedly elevate Trump to the Power of the Presidency.

And that even before he launches both Agena 47 and the Heritage Foundation’s scurrilous Project 2025, both of which will effectively dismantle the elegance of the balance of powers articulated in the US Constitution, place almost unlimited authority in the Executive. This gives the President Dictatorial License to wreak havoc in the hands of the most wicked political figure in all of American history.

It no longer does any good to appeal to the American Church to awaken and prepare for all this, so I turn to you, individual believers and unbelievers alike, to get your spiritual houses in order, stat! Both Heaven and Hell are about to collide across the entire face of the earth, so by all means:

‘Leave Babylon, beloved!’ While there is still a little time left for us to do so. Selah.
