The Believer’s Call as He Approaches:

PART 4 – TO WARN

There is a radical transformation underway in the Protestant churches—one that is neither accidental nor benign. We are witnessing a deliberate infiltration: the esoteric teachings of the Babylonian Mystery religion are being smuggled in under the guise of biblical language. This is not a mere drift or a harmless trend; it is the calculated emergence of a counterfeit religious system that mimics the kingdom of God while serving the agenda of another. Scripture is unambiguous: this system is the prelude to the global religion of the False Prophet, culminating in the worship of the Antichrist himself. The Word of God anticipated and described this apostasy, and to understand the origin, course, and end of Babylon the Great—as well as God’s utter hatred for it—is, in itself, a prophetic warning and a sign to every believer.

The Machinery of Apostasy

Let us be clear: the infiltration is not subtle. The very tools being used—seeker-sensitive, purpose-driven, and small group movements—are not neutral instruments. They are the means by which the church is being transformed, not into the image of Christ, but into a counterfeit that prepares the way for global deception. These movements, under the banner of relevance and unity, dilute doctrine, obscure the finished work of Christ, and sow confusion about our inheritance and sonship. The “bad seed” sown among the saints does not merely produce minor error; it corrupts the entire fellowship, accelerating apostasy and making the church fertile ground for the lies of the enemy.

The root of this collapse is a failure to receive the love of the truth. When the church abandons her affection for the truth of the gospel—for justification by faith alone, for the sufficiency of Christ’s work, for the reality of our position as sons and heirs—she becomes vulnerable to every wind of doctrine. This is not a secondary matter; it is salvific. To lose the love of the truth is to forfeit the very foundation of our assurance, our inheritance, and our standing before God.

What Is Lost If We Accept the Error

If we tolerate these counterfeit systems, we lose more than doctrinal clarity—we lose the purity of the church, the reality of our sonship, and the ground of our justification. The distinction between covenantal promise and human performance is erased, and the conscience is once again defiled by works and law. The church becomes indistinguishable from Babylon, and the prophetic warning becomes our condemnation: we are swept up in the apostasy that prepares the world for the Antichrist. This is not a theoretical danger; it is the collapse of everything Christ purchased for us at the cross.

The Prophetic Warning and the Command to Separate

God, in His faithfulness, has not left us without a warning. He has revealed the history and destiny of Babylon so that we would discern the times and refuse to be swept along by the flood of deception. His hatred for this apostate system is not arbitrary—it is a sign to us that we must not compromise, not even for the sake of peace or unity. The command is explicit:

“Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4)

To obey this command is to preserve the purity of the church and to remain faithful to God’s interests above all else. It is to stand as a prophetic witness against the rising tide of apostasy, to hold fast to the doctrine of Christ, and to refuse every counterfeit that would undermine our justification and inheritance.

Steadfastness in the Truth

Now, as the machinery of the global religious system gathers momentum, the only safe ground is the truth of the gospel. We must heed the prophetic warnings, keep our eyes fixed on Christ, and refuse every compromise that would entangle us in the spirit of this age. Our steadfastness is not optional; it is the means by which we resist spiritual deception and preserve the testimony of Jesus in a world being prepared for lawlessness.

Let no one deceive you: the stakes are ultimate. To remain faithful is to remain separate. To warn is to love. And to heed the warning is to stand in the victory and inheritance that Christ has secured for us—sons, heirs, and witnesses to the truth in the midst of Babylon.
