We Have No Way to Get Supplies In....Or Messages Out!

             As we all know if we have read Revelation diligently....Babylon the Great will be destroyed in one hour....and all of the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn ....for...."the merchants of the earth have become rich from the excessive wealth of her luxury." Revelation 18 also speaks of cargo that was sent all over the world....and lists quite a few examples of fine cargo that includes what you would expect in gold and silver....but also....in verse 13...."slaves and human lives." Does that wording sound familiar? It should.
              As for identifying Babylon the Great.....as a country or just a system.....that has not been revealed to us as of yet.....but we should know enough that when we see the ever-increasing group of ultra-rich such as all of these tech and AI CEOs.... Musk obviously being number one on that list....we should rightfully feel confident that Revelation is talking about us.... right now.
               When we have had major economic collapses in the past....we always eventually read about how much wealth was lost. Well....we read in Revelation 18:17...."for in one hour such a great wealth has been laid waste! (This is the wealth of the whole world folks) And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor....and all who make their living by the sea....stood at a distance....and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning."
                As I mention many times in these posts....we in the church have no leaders or evangelists of renown left. Oh there are plenty of solid pastor/teachers out there....David Jeremiah and others....but none that can stand up and make America take notice. The church has never really been in this situation since the Reformation....as there was always a Luther or a Calvin or the Puritans or Edwards or Whitefield or Spurgeon or Lloyd-Jones or Billy Graham or John MacArthur or a Sproul or a Wilkerson or a Robertson.
                Christian bookstores are gone. The average person today has nowhere to find Christ....and everywhere....including churches....to stumble across a facsimile of what used to be the gospel! We sit around in our little cell groups or Bible studies and cannot see that the people that....(mostly because of a collapsing culture)....are drawn to larger churches....are hearing enough from the pulpits to sign a pledge card....but not enough to fall before a Holy God in remorse and conviction. We are no longer evangelized....'born again' is an outmoded expression....as we are now merely recruited!
                The warnings that are out there are that we may lose our freedoms and even out country. That is what pushed people to churches....but we have no warnings on losing our eternal soul....and no warnings of false prophets or compromised gospels! We have no warning that we may have fallen asleep in the lap of luxury.
                God has taken all those men home who did warn us....and were able to stand up and make America take note....and keep us in the church at least awake. He has taken them all home. He took the Christian bookstores and the major ministries away....for today we have but circled the wagons....and have no way to get supplies in....or messages out.
                 We had our Jonah moments over the past seventy years or so....and we responded from time to time....but there is no longer a 40 day-type of warning as given to Nineveh. This is Nahum's time folks....to the same city....prepare for what is ahead.
                  Mystery Babylon is great tribulation language. Whatever Babylon turns out to be....its collapse changes the whole world....so we can forget our 401s and our bank accounts. There will be no constitutions....and probably not even any capitalism....and we are not being told this....because the glory of God has departed from the church....for a time....and for a purpose....that the chaff and the grain would separate. That is going to be a painful process....and it is surely coming....and already starting!
