Come Out of Babylon and Into Christ!
Part 2: The Eden Revelation - Jesus' Absolute Command to Flee Satan's System of Self-Governance
The Divine Imperative
This is Craig Rogers again, and if Part 1 opened your eyes to the fundamental choice between divine governance and self-governance, then Part 2 will shake you to your core with the urgent reality of where we stand today. After decades of investigating the systems of this world—from Christian nationalism to global economics to the very foundations of American power—I've discovered that everything we've been taught to trust, defend, and participate in is actually Babylon itself.
And Jesus Christ has given us a direct command: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues" (Revelation 18:4).
This isn't a suggestion. This isn't optional. This is a divine imperative with eternal consequences. Satan's system of self-governance—which Scripture calls Babylon—is about to face God's final judgment, and every person must choose: remain in Babylon's system of self-governance or flee into Christ's Kingdom of divine governance.
The evidence is overwhelming. The time is short. The choice is absolute.
Babylon Identified - The System of Self-Governance
Most Christians think Babylon is just an ancient city or some future political empire. But Babylon is much more than geography—it's a spiritual system. Babylon represents every attempt by humanity to govern itself independently from God, to build kingdoms through human wisdom, strength, and self-effort rather than through surrender to Christ's divine governance.
Babylon began in Eden when Adam and Eve chose the tree of knowledge of good and evil—choosing to govern themselves rather than live under God's perfect provision and governance. From that moment, every human system built on self-governance, self-righteousness, and independence from God became part of Babylon's kingdom.
Genesis 11:4 reveals Babylon's foundational spirit: "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
Notice the language: "for ourselves," "make for ourselves a name." This is self-governance personified—humanity attempting to reach heaven through their own effort, establish their own identity, and create security through human systems rather than trusting God's provision and governance.
Revelation 17:5 identifies the ultimate expression of this system: "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Babylon is the "mother" system—the original template for every form of self-governance that would follow. Every political system, every economic structure, every religious organization that operates independently from Christ's direct governance is a daughter of this Babylonian spirit.
America as Modern Babylon - The Evidence
Through my investigation of Christian nationalism, I've uncovered a shocking truth: America—particularly Washington D.C., New York City, and the entire political system we've been taught to revere—is the modern embodiment of Mystery Babylon described in Revelation.
The Political Babylon: Washington D.C. and The Swamp
Washington D.C. represents the political manifestation of Babylon—a system where power is gained and maintained through human effort, compromise, manipulation, and control rather than through submission to Christ's governance. Whether Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, the entire system operates on the tree of knowledge of good and evil—human beings determining right and wrong independently from God's wisdom.
Romans 13:1 tells us that "there is no authority except from God," but Babylon's political system operates as if human governance is the source of authority. Politicians promise to solve problems that only Christ can solve. They claim to have answers that only divine wisdom can provide. They offer security that only God can guarantee.
The "Deep State," the "Swamp," the entire apparatus of federal government—all of it represents Babylon's attempt to govern without God. Even when politicians claim to be Christian, they're still operating in self-governance when they trust in political power, human legislation, and earthly kingdoms to accomplish what only Christ's spiritual Kingdom can achieve.
Economic Babylon: New York City as the Financial Hub
Revelation 18:3 describes Babylon perfectly: "For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality."
New York City—specifically Wall Street and the global financial system it represents—is the economic heart of modern Babylon. This is where the world's wealth is controlled, where greed is celebrated as wisdom, where human systems promise security that only God can provide.
The Federal Reserve, the stock market, the banking system—all of it operates on the principle that human intelligence and effort can create lasting prosperity apart from God's blessing and provision. It's the tree of knowledge of good and evil applied to economics: "We can figure out how to create wealth, security, and prosperity through our own wisdom."
Revelation 18:11-13 lists the merchants who will weep when Babylon falls: "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more—cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones... and slaves and human souls."
The global economic system literally trades in "human souls"—human trafficking, modern slavery, economic systems that reduce people created in God's image to mere commodities. New York City, as the financial capital of this system, bears responsibility for every evil transaction that flows through its banks and markets.
Religious Babylon: Christian Nationalism and Political Idolatry
Here's where it gets personal for American Christians: Christian nationalism is not the solution to Babylon—it IS Babylon operating within the church.
When Christians attempt to establish God's kingdom through political power, human legislation, and earthly governments, they're eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil while claiming to serve the Tree of Life. They're using Satan's methods while claiming to serve Christ.
Matthew 4:8-10 shows us Jesus' response to this temptation: "Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, 'All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.' Then Jesus said to him, 'Go, Satan! For it is written, "YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY."'"
Satan offered Jesus political control over earthly kingdoms—the same offer he makes to Christians through nationalism. But Jesus rejected it completely. His Kingdom is not of this world. His governance operates through spiritual transformation, not political legislation.
When Christians wrap themselves in flags, pledge allegiance to nations, and trust in political solutions more than spiritual transformation, they're bowing to the same temptation Jesus rejected. They're choosing Babylon's system of self-governance over Christ's Kingdom of divine governance.
MAGA as Babylon's Religious Deception
MAGA—Make America Great Again—represents the ultimate religious deception of our time. It promises to restore greatness through human effort, political power, and self-governance rather than through surrender to Christ's governance.
MAGA is a religion that worships:
A country instead of Christ
A constitution instead of Scripture
A politician instead of the King of Kings
Human rights instead of divine grace
Self-preservation instead of self-sacrifice
National identity instead of Kingdom identity
Jeremiah 17:5 warns: "Thus says the LORD, 'Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD.'"
MAGA Christianity has made flesh its strength. It trusts in human leaders, human systems, human solutions to problems that only Christ can solve. It seeks to establish God's kingdom through Babylon's methods—political power, force, legislation, and human governance.
But Jesus said in John 18:36: "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting, so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."
The real solution isn't MAGA—it's MEGA: Make Eden Great Again. Instead of trying to restore a fallen nation through politics, we need to restore humanity's relationship with God through the Gospel. Instead of building earthly kingdoms, we need to plant seeds of the eternal Kingdom.
The Mark of the Beast - Babylon's Final System
Satan's ultimate plan for humanity is revealed in Revelation 13:16-17: "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
This isn't just about a physical mark—it's about the ultimate system of self-governance. Satan will offer humanity enhanced artificial intelligence, technological immortality, and the promise that we can transcend human limitations through our own effort and wisdom.
The Mark of the Beast represents the final choice: Trust in God's resurrection power or trust in human technology. Divine governance or self-governance. The Tree of Life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
For 6,000 years, Satan has been conditioning humanity to trust in human systems, human solutions, human enhancement rather than God's power. The transgender movement, the psychology industry, the promise of AI enhancement—all of it is preparing humanity to accept Satan's final offer: "You can be like God through technology. You don't need God's grace. You can save yourself."
But Satan cannot deliver what he promises. Those who take the Mark will face eternal judgment, while those who refuse—who choose to trust in Christ's governance rather than self-governance—will enter God's eternal Kingdom.
"Come Out of Her!" - Jesus' Direct Command
Revelation 18:4 contains one of the most urgent commands in all of Scripture: "I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues.'"
This is Jesus Himself speaking directly to His people. Not "consider coming out" or "think about leaving." The command is absolute: COME OUT OF HER.
"Her" is Babylon—the entire system of self-governance that includes:
Political Babylon: Stop trusting in political solutions, human leaders, and earthly governments to solve spiritual problems. Stop pledging ultimate allegiance to any nation, party, or political movement.
Economic Babylon: Stop trusting in money, investments, and financial systems for your security. Stop participating in economic activities that exploit others or that operate independently from God's blessing and provision.
Religious Babylon: Stop trusting in religious institutions, denominational structures, and human organizations that operate through human governance rather than direct submission to Christ.
Cultural Babylon: Stop participating in entertainment, media, and cultural activities that promote self-governance, rebellion against God, or the values of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The command is complete separation from every form of self-governance and total transfer of allegiance to Christ's Kingdom of divine governance.
The Coming Judgment on Babylon
Revelation 18:8 declares Babylon's fate: "For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong."
The judgment on Babylon isn't distant future—it's imminent. The signs are everywhere:
Economic Collapse: The financial systems built on debt, manipulation, and greed are unsustainable. When New York City—the economic heart of modern Babylon—faces destruction, the entire global system will collapse in "one hour" as Revelation describes.
Political Chaos: The illusion of human governance is being exposed. Leaders are revealed as corrupt, systems are failing, and people are losing faith in political solutions. The very foundations of Babylon's power structure are crumbling.
Moral Bankruptcy: The societies built on self-governance have produced unprecedented levels of depression, addiction, sexual confusion, violence, and spiritual darkness. The fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil are fully manifest.
Spiritual Deception: Even the church has been infected with Babylon's spirit through Christian nationalism, prosperity gospel, and attempts to build God's kingdom through human methods.
God's judgment isn't coming because He's angry—it's coming because Babylon's system of self-governance leads inevitably to death, destruction, and chaos. God is putting an end to the system that has enslaved humanity for 6,000 years.
Practical Steps to Come Out of Babylon
Coming out of Babylon isn't just spiritual—it requires practical action. Here's how to begin your exodus:
Renounce Political Idolatry - Stop trusting in political parties, candidates, or earthly governments for solutions that only Christ can provide. Withdraw your emotional investment in political outcomes. Your citizenship is in Heaven, not America.
Exit Economic Babylon - Begin transitioning your financial life away from dependence on Babylonian systems. Reduce debt, increase self-sufficiency, and invest in Kingdom activities rather than worldly enterprises. Prepare for economic collapse by trusting God's provision rather than human financial systems.
Leave Religious Babylon - If your church operates more like a business than a body, if it trusts in human programs rather than God's power, if it promotes political solutions rather than spiritual transformation—find a community that operates under Christ's direct governance.
Create Kingdom Alternatives - Instead of trying to reform Babylon's systems, create alternatives. Build Grace Homes instead of trusting government welfare. Develop Kingdom businesses instead of participating in exploitative commerce. Plant Eden communities instead of trying to save America.
Transfer Complete Allegiance - Make Christ your only King, His Kingdom your only nation, His governance your only system. Pledge allegiance to no earthly authority above your allegiance to Jesus Christ.
Building Eden While Babylon Falls
The command to come out of Babylon isn't just about leaving—it's about entering. We're called to come out of Babylon and into Eden, out of self-governance and into divine governance.
MEGA—Make Eden Great Again represents the positive vision: While Babylon collapses, we plant seeds of Eden. While self-governance fails, we demonstrate divine governance. While the world system crumbles, we build Kingdom alternatives.
Eden begins with the individual heart surrendered completely to Christ's governance. It extends to the family operating under biblical authority. It multiplies through Grace Homes that demonstrate Kingdom hospitality. It spreads through communities committed to radical love, radical generosity, and radical obedience to Christ's commands.
Eden isn't built through political victory—it's planted through spiritual transformation. It doesn't grow through human effort—it flourishes through divine grace. It doesn't expand through force—it multiplies through love.
The Urgency of This Hour
We are living in the final moments before Christ returns for His Bride and God's wrath is poured out on Babylon. The signs are everywhere:
World War III could begin at any moment
Economic systems are on the verge of collapse
Moral foundations are completely eroded
The church is infected with Babylonian thinking
Technology exists for the Mark of the Beast system
Israel is surrounded by enemies seeking her destruction
Matthew 24:22 warns: "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short."
This is not the time for gradual reform or partial commitment. This is the time for complete exodus from Babylon and total surrender to Christ's Kingdom.
The Two Seeds - Final Choice
From the beginning, there have been two seeds, two kingdoms, two systems of governance:
The Seed of the Woman (Genesis 3:15): Christ and His Kingdom, operating through divine governance, grace, love, and surrender to God's will.
The Seed of the Serpent: Satan and his kingdom (Babylon), operating through self-governance, human effort, pride, and rebellion against God's authority.
Every person belongs to one seed or the other. Every system operates under one governance or the other. Every choice reflects allegiance to one kingdom or the other.
1 John 3:10 makes the division clear: "By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother."
The children of God operate under divine governance—they receive righteousness as a gift and love others through God's power working in them.
The children of the devil operate under self-governance—they try to establish their own righteousness and love others through human effort rather than divine grace.
The Bride's Response - Holiness and Separation
2 Corinthians 6:17-18 declares God's call to His people: "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE, says the Lord. AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me, Says the Lord Almighty."
The Bride of Christ must be holy—set apart from Babylon's system of self-governance and completely devoted to Christ's system of divine governance.
This separation isn't physical isolation—it's spiritual distinction. We live in the world but operate by completely different principles:
While Babylon trusts in human strength, we trust in God's power
While Babylon seeks self-preservation, we practice self-sacrifice
While Babylon builds earthly kingdoms, we seek first God's Kingdom
While Babylon operates through fear and control, we operate through love and freedom
While Babylon promises security through human systems, we find security in divine provision
The Bride must be washed, spotless, and ready for her King. This requires complete separation from Babylon's contamination and total transformation into Christ's likeness.
The Final Warning
I am nobody special—just a Christian investigative reporter who has discovered the greatest story never told. But the message I carry is urgent beyond description: Jesus Christ is coming back soon, Babylon is about to face final judgment, and every person must choose their eternal destiny.
Revelation 22:12 declares: "Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done."
The choice is before every person:
Choose Babylon's self-governance and face eternal judgment with Satan and his kingdom
Choose Christ's divine governance and enter eternal life in God's Kingdom
There is no middle ground. No compromise position. No third option.
To remain in Babylon—to continue trusting in political solutions, human systems, and self-governance—is to choose judgment. To come out of Babylon and surrender completely to Christ's governance is to choose life.
Revelation 18:4 contains both a promise and a warning: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues."
If you come out, you will not receive her plagues. If you remain, you will participate in her judgment.
The Exodus Begins Now
The new Exodus has begun. Just as God called Israel out of Egypt, Christ is calling His people out of Babylon. Just as Lot was called out of Sodom before judgment fell, believers are being called out of the world system before God's wrath is poured out.
This isn't about geographical movement—it's about spiritual transfer. From the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light. From self-governance to divine governance. From the tree of knowledge of good and evil to the Tree of Life.
Colossians 1:13 describes this transfer: "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son."
The domain of darkness is Babylon—every system of self-governance. The Kingdom of His beloved Son is Eden restored—divine governance operating through grace, love, and surrender to Christ.
The call is urgent. The time is short. The choice is eternal.
Come out of Babylon and into Christ.
Come out of self-governance and into divine governance.
Come out of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and into the Tree of Life.
Come out of death and into eternal life.
The command is absolute. The consequences are eternal. The choice is yours.
Choose Christ. Choose His Kingdom. Choose divine governance.
Come out of Babylon NOW.
"And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." - Revelation 22:17
