Friendly Fire of God!
With a mighty voice he (the angel) shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "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.

Revelation 18:2-5

When a nation comes under the judgment of God what should God’s people do? The admonition in Revelation 18 is for His people to “come out of her.”

The problem is the spiritual equivalent of “Friendly Fire.” If God is now pouring out His judgment on the United States of America how do His people avoid the friendly fire of God? The answer seems to be clearly to “come out of her.”

The next question is this: Where do we go? If you had the means to move yourself and your family to any country on earth right now, where would be the one which is not under the judgment of God? Where the righteous country living in harmony with the will of God?

The solution is simple. If you want to avoid friendly fire stand close beside the One who is doing the firing. The key is in the phrase “not share in her sins.” Followers of Jesus find themselves sharing in the sins of their nation. It is easy to point the finger at others about this, but examine your own life first. How am I a part of the sin that our culture endorses? Bring your own life before the Lord and let Him speak to your motives, thoughts and actions. If there is any way that I am participating in the sins of my nation, then I am going to receive the plagues that are sent from God.

So the two things I must do are: Repent and draw close to God!

Perhaps we need to sit down together and discuss our own culture and look at how we might be joining in with sins against God. We need to take this matter very seriously, because God does!
