Babylon is fallen
The Cause of Societal Change
Babylon is fallen. There are going to be consequences and repercussions to those things which are not rooted in the kingdom of heaven. Babylon will be thrown down like a millstone.
Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful…
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
As much as possible, it is important to decouple from Babylon, from the woke system, in terms of business partnerships, shopping choices, and every way possible.
Exodus 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Granted, it is difficult to do since Babylon has invaded so much of the marketplace. But, as God raises up his people in all areas of life … entertainment, music, commerce, banking, industry, education, health care and all other venues of life, there will be choices. And as Babylon and wokeness is driven out, the kingdom of heaven and God’s people can rise to take their place in society.
Musicians, craftsment, education (light of a candle), marriage, merchants … all of these things will no longer exist in Babylon, but they will still exist in the kingdom of heaven.
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
One of the things to consider is investments. Are those investments in corporations and entities that are building society or destroying the very foundations of western civilization?
James 2:6 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Recognizing that this can be a challenge, because of the largess of Babylon, the goal is to extract from those things committed to wokeness. It is called “walking the talk.” It does no good to complain, and then give money to, partner with, purchase from, and aid those you are complaining about.
It requires a fundamental shift in societal thinking. Life is not “que sera, sera” “what will be, will be” “I guess it is the will of God.” Maybe it’s simply because there is no entrepreneur, craftsman, musician, teacher, writer, politician that is better than the current choice. And why is that?
It is a process of societal change.
Exodus 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
But where does the Lord dwell? The Lord dwells within the midst of his people. The Lord dwells in the hearts of those who believe in him. The Lord dwells within the body of Christ. Therefore, God’s people will be an intricate part, as they are led by the Spirit of the Living God, of driving out the forces of Babylon from the midst of society.
The danger of remaining connected to those who are committed to and serve Babylon, is that as God throws them down, things connected to them will crash as well. This can be stocks. This can be strikes that disrupt business. This can be many things.
Again, recognizing that this is easier to say than accomplish, because of the immensity of the problem. there has to be a starting point somewhere.
Exodus 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Babylon is Fallen

In the verses below, an hour in God’s time is diffent than an hour in man’s time as one day with the Lord is as a thousand years. In that hour, Babylon falls.
Revelation 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Corporations that are standing with the fornication of Babylon, with wokeness, with pedophilia, with satanism, are losing market shares. The millstone is a chainlinked activity. For example, when Bud Light loses customers, that shelf space is stores go to others. Bud Light no longer needs as many bottles to bottle its stuff. So that affects the bottling industry, the trucks that deliver the stuff, and all the auxiliary industries. It is a millstone where everything sinks together. The same goes for Hollywood, the financial industry, for all of the industries in Babylon. They do not exist as islands by themselves.
This is why, going forward, companies might consider the ethics, morals and stances of the companies they work with. If you are a distributor or contractor and one or more of your major suppliers is woke, and God starts throwing that supplier(s) down, where will that leave your business? Business alliances must be made carefully and decided upon through thoughtful prayer. It may be that playing both sides of the fence is coming to an end. There is room in the marketplace for ethical, non-woke businesses and that can be a selling point, that you don’t support the woke agenda.
Those things created in the kingdom of God and for the purposes as directed by the Lord are on the rise. A good example is the movie, “Sound of Freedom.” It is outdoing a major competing film and has been so popular that space has been opened up in the theater market. Babylon falls. The Kingdom of God rises.
Of course, there will be false flags and wars from the globalists as they lose the market share in the earth, but “they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”
The activities will no longer be in Babylon, but those activities, in a godly fashion, will continue to exist in the kingdom of God. Those things based upon the foundation of the Words of Jesus will rise.
We can all participate in the throwing down of Babylon by simply shopping at those stores and places that stand for godly values. When it comes to investments, there are investment houses that don’t invest in abortion and death industries.
This world is a free will world. Jesus did his part. But it is up to us, the living, to actively choose to help bring the kingdom of God by our day-to-day and moment-by-moment choices in all things. Everything is a test.
Revelation 18:1 (KJV) And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
