The other day the Lord spoke to me and said, “It’s going to get bumpy, hang on!” This is not something you want to hear, this is something that has to be weighed, is it personal, communal, national or international. So, I have sat on it for a couple days, and then this morning the phrase rose in my spirit, “I sit as a queen.” (Revelation 18:7)

Babylon is prophetic code language for any system of self-sufficiency that believes it is permanent and is oppressive in nature. This is a biblical pattern not just one city. Egypt could be called Babylon biblically, so could Nineveh, Assyria, Rome, Persia, Greece, not just one city, but rather a patter of control.

Therefore, when the Lord sends a messenger (angel) from heaven to declare in Revelation 18, “Fallen, fallen, Babylon is fallen! It is an announcement of judgment on a system of control not one certain city at one certain time in history. Which is why we declare, announce again in our day, falling, falling, Babylon is falling.

Understanding this is about a system that is being judged and not individuals helps us recognize God is on a rescue mission not a destruction rampage. Henceforth, why the Lord says, “Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.”

The question is how do we come out of her? We repent of believing the Babylonian narrative and we embrace the narrative of the kingdom of God. Babylonian control is a narrative, which is why we are pulled into every news story, divided by politics, destroyed by religion, and are emotionally exhausted, but can’t sit still when iced in.

The call of God today is the same as it was then, Come out of her my people, by repenting for the kingdom of God is at hand. Change the way you think, because falling, falling, Babylon is falling. It is going to get bumpy my friends, hang onto truth, for we have an unshakable kingdom. The counterfeit queen is coming down. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
