A Voice Says, Come Out of Her, My People.
The Call for Separation A voice from heaven urges God’s people to separate themselves from Babylon’s sins to avoid sharing in her plagues. God has remembered Babylon’s iniquities and will give back to her as she has given, thus imparting divine justice.
It reads in Revelation 18:4-8 Easy: Then I heard another voice which spoke from heaven. It said: ‘My people, leave the city! Come out! Do not do the bad things that the people of that city have done. Then you will not receive the terrible troubles that God sends to them. They have done very many bad things. Their sins have reached as high as heaven. God has remembered to punish them. Yes, punish the people of that city. Do to them the same things that they have done to others. Punish them with twice the bad things that they themselves have done. She caused people to drink pain from her cup. Now make her drink twice as much pain for herself! She liked to receive honor. She bought expensive things to enjoy a wicked life. So now give her the trouble and pain that she deserves. She has said to herself, “I rule people like a queen. I do not live like a widow. I will never need to be sad.” Because she speaks like that, she will receive many troubles in one single day. Her people will become very ill. They will be very sad. They will have no food to eat. Fire will destroy the city, The Lord God is powerful. So he will punish her with these troubles.’
