Come Lord Jesus!

The destruction of Babylon precedes the return of Christ.

The attached picture illustrates some of the ways in which Babylon (kingdoms defiant of God
s rule) treat people. The bodies and souls of people are marketed like farm animals.

Have you noticed that many visions (movies) out of Hollywood involve the breaking of the Ten Commandments? Either with no mention of God (godless) or blaspheming His Name! Murder! Lying! Adultery! Covetousness! Defiant children! No sign of Sabbath (resting and trusting in God). Casting a vison of a world where evil runs rampant instead of the Biblical vision of the coming kingdom of Christ where there is no more hatred, division, crying, pain, war, death. Love, joy, and peace rules in the Kingdom of God.

When Revelation’s 7th angel sounds his trumpet, “The kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15)

This morning, after praying much in the night, I read Isaiah 25:1-9...

"O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your Name, for You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For You have made a city a ruin, a fortified city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. Therefore the strong people will glorify You; the city of the terrible nations will fear You. For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. You will reduce the noise of aliens, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones will be diminished."

"And in this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken. And it will be said in that day: ‘Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.’”

“Even so, come Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
