Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“Come out of her, my people, so that you will share not 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 Fall of Babylon, Revelation 18:4
... because the wicked, like Rome in their arrogance, feel so secure, the following plagues will come upon them in a single day: Plague, mourning and famine. In addition, the city will be burned and destroyed by fire...

Just imagine! This passage makes me wonder if bitcoin is going to explode in one day…
in principle, nothing is impossible. value transfer in the abstract sense is always a matter of trust. if this is not there, or too few have it, then the coin can become worthless. there is no certainty. For absolutely nothing. The sooner you realise this in depth, the better off you will be. trust in god or the universe is the key.
What is your understanding of Babylon in this passage and book?🙏🏻😄
And how, in practical terms, can Jesus/God's people exit Babylon?🤔🤨😃
I don’t understand it well, but I see an escape hatch from the corruption- one that will be their undoing- in the form of a finite, incorruptible, uncensorable ledger; a projection of power that will defund wars- the destruction of the system
How do you interpret it?
Very generally speaking, I see Babylon as the entire, corrupt world system. More particularly, *all* the nations of the world as corrupt, collaborating fiefdoms in satan's kingdom.
My takeaway is that we as God's people are not to be wasting our time trying to fix Babylon; it's in process of self-destruction. Rather, we ought to be busy building good, parallel systems that advance Jesus/God's Kingdom.😃
It makes sense! ❤️
