See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Hebrews 12.25-27

00:00So let's think a little bit about that one. Is there an economic and political
00:06crisis coming down the line? Is Babylon going to be shaken? Will the world system
00:12fall apart? Will it come together? What happens then? In the Bible there's a
00:17passage in Hebrews where it says, yet once more I shake not only the earth
00:21but also heaven. And it says that the results of this shaking will be the
00:26removal of those things which are being shaken as of things that are made that
00:30the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Hebrews 12 26 to 27. I will shake
00:37not only the earth but also the heavens. And what after this shaking will remain
00:41is the kingdom of God. God's going to shake the present world system and cause
00:46it to fall apart. Then he's going to put it together again in the Messianic
00:49kingdom which will be set up when Jesus returns to take control of this planet.
00:54Now the Bible tells us that in the last days the present world system which is
00:58given the code name Babylon is going to fall at some point in the future. So you
01:04got Babylon the Great is fallen. Revelation chapter 18. Babylon the Great
01:11is fallen, is fallen, has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for
01:14every foul spirit and a cage for every unclean bird and unheated bird. For all
01:19the nations are drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. The kings of
01:22the earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants of the earth
01:26have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. God apparently has a
01:31controversy with the world system which he characterizes here as Babylon.
01:37Nations are drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. He tells us
01:42that Babylon is going to fall at some time. Now that happens right at the end of
01:45the tribulation period. But if you look at the present world system you have to
01:51ask are the seeds being set for the fall of Babylon? Are there things
01:55which are happening in the world which is pushing us towards that time? And if
02:01you think that then you have to get yourself inside the kingdom of
02:06God because all that's going to remain after the fall of Babylon is the kingdom
02:10of God. What's based upon God and Jesus Christ. The thing which has a foundation
02:16in God who created us and the God is even now holding back the day of trouble
02:20so that you and I can find the way to be saved from the coming disaster. And I
02:26believe there is a disaster coming. Last week I did a talk on Jeremiah chapter 1.
02:32We talked about the coming disaster which Jeremiah sees
02:41coming upon his his own country. And he speaks about time coming. That will be
02:47the the boiling pot facing away from the north. He sees this coming in a form
02:58of judgment coming upon the nation and he tells them this is going to happen
03:02because of the way that the people have been behaving. I water my judgments
03:06against them concerning all their wickedness because they forsaken me
03:10burned incense to other gods and worshipped the works of their own hands.
03:14So he sees a judgment coming and that's happening because the nation has gone
03:18away from God and become worshipping other gods and the works of their own
03:22hands. Look at the present world system. It's worshipping all kinds of gods. It's
03:26worshipping the God of mammon. It's full of evil. It's full of deception and
03:30trickery and all kinds of things which are bringing trouble upon the world. And
03:35the question is how are you going to be saved from it? Well stick with me to the
03:41end of the talk and I'll tell you how you're going to be saved from it.
