Revelation 18:21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more; and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more, and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth.”
The world system in opposition to God will be utterly destroyed at the end of days. It is hard to imagine the rise of a one-world political, economic, and religious system in such a short time and even a bit harder to imagine it fall faster than it came about. The indulgences, deceptions, lies, self-glorifying, and self-reliant ways of Babylon influenced the world. This political, economic, and religious God-denying and defying systems fed the sinful nature of the people a lie to which they overwhelmingly chose to believe and follow. The finality of God’s judgment against the people who have willingly chosen to follow these lies is seen in “NO MORE”. Whatever the cause of this collapse at the perfect timing and hand of God, it will have an ending to all the world’s systems that arise out of those who wish to deny God His glory, honor, and power. The end is near and those who put their trust and reliance on what this world has to offer will mourn, but not out of repentance to God, but out of a loss of what they had put their hope in. Worldliness, prosperity, ease of life, financial security, self-reliance, self-satisfaction, self-worth, and self-centered, living blind their eyes, and dull their hearing to the point of total rejection of God and the godly who trust in, rely on and cling to Him. There is no time to wait. There is no time to think you will have time later to make a decision to surrender yourself to Christ. Every day that this decision is intentionally withheld gives your heart, mind, and soul the opportunity to start believing the lies and deceptions this world has to offer. Choose Christ. Seek forgiveness of sin. Trust in His sacrifice on the cross for your redemption and salvation. In Him, you will find what your soul aches for. Peace, love, joy, hope, and rest.
