Get Out of Babylon
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 14 of our Revelation 2026 series, Pastor Eric Marvin explores Revelation 18, where the fall of Babylon the Great marks the collapse of humanity's rebellion against God. While the world mourns the loss of its wealth, power, and influence, heaven rejoices because God's righteous judgment has finally come.
Throughout Scripture, Babylon represents far more than one ancient city. It is the picture of every human system that opposes God's rule and attempts to replace His Kingdom with humanity's own wisdom, power, and desires. Revelation 18 reveals that every kingdom built apart from God will ultimately fall.
Pastor Eric explains that every believer lives in the tension between two kingdoms. Though we have been made new through Jesus Christ, we still live in a fallen world that continually pulls us back toward Babylon's values. God's call is clear: "Come out of her, my people." Christians are called to reject the world's priorities and live as citizens of God's eternal Kingdom.
This message reminds us that while Babylon's promises are temporary, God's Kingdom is everlasting. Our hope is not found in wealth, status, political systems, or human achievement, but in Jesus Christ, whose victory over sin and evil is complete.
The invitation of Revelation 18 is both urgent and hopeful: leave Babylon behind and live as faithful citizens of the Kingdom that will never end.
