And Now?

Babylon will be destroyed:

  • It is an apostate system: Mixes truth with error
  • It persecuted the saints: Intoxicated with their blood
  • God calls His people: To come out of her
  • It will be destroyed: Quickly and completely

My Decision

I heed God’s call to come out of Babylon. I do not want to participate in her sins or receive her plagues. I choose to follow the pure truth of God’s Word, separating myself from all religious confusion.
