Is the Christian Church Babylon the Great? It is, and I will show you that from the Scriptures. Me saying that may be shocking or unbelievable if your never heard that before, but it is true. Most have never heard this before because no Christian denomination would ever tell you that, because that would be self-incriminating, and non-Christian organizations don't study the Book of the Revelation.We read about the earliest believers in Jesus as the Messiah in the Book of Acts. They were a group of people who were trained by Jesus and his Apostles/disciples, and it says that they kept YHVH's law and the Prophets and they worshiped the God of their ancestors, YHVH. Yet, today's church does neither, they consider themselves to be free of YHVH's laws that Jesus told us keep (Matthew 5:18-19) and they do not worship YHVH alone as Jesus commanded (Matthew 4:10). And that is why the Christian Church has become Babylon the Great, and it has been that for about 1700 years. Revelation 12:9, 13:3 tells us that all the world is deceived and follows after the teachings of the Beast. And Revelation 14 tells us how to exit Babylon the Great and become one of the 144,000 redeemed. That, and much more are explained in this book, with the appropriate Bible verses.

What must Christians do to be saved? Yes, I know that question implies that Christians are not saved. Why would I imply such a thing? I got that idea from reading Jesus' words in the New Testament.And, it's not that Christians are bad or evil people, for many are very moral and devout to their religion and even very religious. But in spite of being moral and religious, their eternal life is in peril because they are deceived by their Churches, and I can prove that using Jesus' words.And it's not that the Christian Churches intentionally deceives people, but they themselves are deceived. They are the blind leading the blind on the Broad way leading to destruction. And that great deception ultimately came from the 'great dragon' or the 'serpent of old' in the Garden of Eden.Jesus said, "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, .... And all the world marveled and followed the beast" (Revelation 12:9, 13:3). These verses are speaking of the deception within today's Christian Church, as I will make clear in this book. And that's the same deception Eve heard in the Garden of Eden.The beast, the image of the beast, the mark of the beast, the great harlot, her many daughters, Babylon the Great, the false prophet and even the anti-Christ are not future events and future characters, they are present and active on earth today. Many people are wrongly waiting for characters and events to take place, not knowing that they are here today.What must the Christians do to be saved? As we read in Revelation 14, those who were redeemed are those who "follow the Lamb wherever he goes". What does that mean for us? It means that Jesus is to be our only teacher (Matthew 23:10), and currently he is not the only teacher of those within the Christian Church. Jesus said that we will be judged according to how well we kept his teachings (John 8:51, John 12:48-49, Matthew 7:24-27). Yet, Christianity neglects some of Jesus' most important words, and to neglect those words will cause us condemnation.What teachings of Jesus are neglected by Christian doctrine and will cause Christians to be condemned? To properly explain it all, we will go back to the Garden of Eden, and finish in the Book of the Revelation. If you are a truth seeker, you will be amazed at what I share in this book. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what we will cover in this book.

The Three Angels' Messages are only directed to those in the Christian Church, of to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people, for only Christians will read that Book. Those messages tell those in the Church why and how they must 'get out' of the Christian Church and what they must do to be among the redeemed. Why would God send His angels to deliver such a message? That's what this book is all about.The Book of the Revelation is like a capstone on a structure, or the frosting on a cake, because it contains: God's last warnings, His last instructions and His final Judgment. In that Book He tells us: what went wrong with the 'Christian Church' and why it became known as 'Babylon the Great'. God then gives us three message delivered by His messengers (angels) and that includes the way of salvation for all people, Everlasting Gospel, warnings about who we worship and a warning to get out of Babylon before the plagues start. In this book we also learn what happens to those who stay in Babylon the Great.Revelation Chapter 14 the key to the understanding of the Book of the Revelation. Within Chapter 14 not only do we learn how to be one of the redeemed, and we also receive the Everlasting Gospel, within the first angels' Message. These messages are basically ignored by most the Christian Church, and even when they consider them they get it wrong - because the proper understanding of those message is not compatible with the doctrines and the creeds of the Christian Church.What is it that Revelation 14 and the Three Angels' Messages telling us to do? Why do Christians need these messages to be among the redeemed? How will compiling with those messages change our lives? And why are they contrary to contemporary Christianity? Learn this and much more.

"...Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues" (Revelation 18:4). Believe it or not, it's the Christian Church that Jesus is calling us out of. And, I know that may sound strange and shocking to most Christians, who, like me grew up being told that Christianity is the only true religion and only Christians will be saved. However, I will share with you why we must leave the Christian Church to be among the 144,000 who will be redeemed (saved from destruction).I want to assure the readers of this book that I'm not leaving Christianity because I don't believe in Jesus. That's not true at all. The truth is I believe in Jesus more than those who remain in Christianity. And, I know that to be true because I accept and follow all that he said, while the Christian Church rejects some of his key teachings. What teachings? I will share that in this book. According to the Book of the Revelation (Revelation 14:1-3) the number of the redeemed from the earth is 144,000 (symbolic number?). The Book of the Revelation tells us that the redeemed all have YHVH (God's name) written on (or in) their foreheads and they follow the teachings of the Lamb. What does the Lamb instruct us? Why do those who follow the Lamb have YHVH written on (in) their foreheads? Why is the Christian Church referred to as Babylon the Great? Who is the beast? Who is the image of the beast? Who is the Great Harlot, and her daughters? What's the message behind the seven churches and the four horses? All of those questions will be answered in this book. There are some uncomfortable parallels between what the serpent beast to Adam and Eve in the Garden to what is taught and preached in the Christian Church. Why is that? I will tell you and you will be shocked, amazed and alarmed by with I'll share with you in this book.

In Matthew 3:2 (NKJV) we hear John the Baptizer said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" And 'repent' was also the main theme of the Old Testament Prophets.Then in Matthew 4:17 (NKJV) we read; "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." And it must be noted that in the Greek, the imperative command to "repent" is in the present tense voice, meaning that we are commanded to repent, and repentance must be a continual ongoing activity, not a onetime event. And this verse also tells us that Jesus continually preached that message. Just like the Prophets of old, repentance was the main theme of Jesus' teachings, and his parables.John the Baptizer, the Old Testament Prophets, the Apostles and Jesus, each give us the same message. They were each telling us, or whoever would listen to them, that there is no entrance into the Kingdom of heaven apart from a righteous that is to fruit of 'true' repent lifestyle. Only that continual act of true repentance will unlock the gates of heaven so that we may enter.Who needs to repent? True repentance is needed by all who have sinned. I don't know who the holiest person on the face of the earth is, but I can assure you that he/she has sinned and needs true repentance to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And that is true for all of us, true repentance is needed to enter the kingdom of Heaven, because it's our only means of obtaining the righteousness we need to enter God's kingdom..Unfortunately "true repentance" is not the repentance we hear about in our churches. The churches come to the wrong conclusion about repentance because they start with the wrong premise about sin and the need for repentance. But by the time you finish this book you will have a clear biblical understanding of what true repentance really is and you will know the process for true repentance.

Would someone intentionally steer us wrong on the topic of what true worship really is? No, not intentionally, but if those who tell us what true worship is, are themselves misinformed or deceived, then they will steer us wrong. And that has happened, as I will explain in this book.Worship is a major theme of the Bible, and perhaps the greatest theme. We are commanded many times in the Scriptures to worship YHVH Our God, give Him glory and praise Him. Those commands to worship YHVH God are so frequent that it's clear that worshiping YHVH God is the reason and purpose for which we were created. Therefore, only those who truly worship YHVH God are fulfilling their purpose and will be redeemed.God is planning on a future kingdom in the new heaven and earth, and He will populate it with those who truly worship YHVH God. Isaiah 66:22-23 tells us about a time when 'all flesh' will gather to worship YHVH God. And so clearly, only true worshipers of YHVH our God will be redeemed and given a place in the kingdom to come. And, please note that not all people who claim to worship YHVH God will be allow God's future kingdom, for as Jesus told us, many people worship YHVH God in vain (Mark 7:6-8). So, we need to understand what true worship really is, and how to be a true worshiper.Throughout the Scriptures we find that it's those who worship YHVH God that will be redeemed, and those who worship any other god(s) are then idolaters, and we read that no idolater will enter the Kingdom of God. So, we must be true worshipers of YHVH God will be allowed into His future Kingdom. And if we don't truly worship YHVH God now on this earth, it is reasonable for YHVH God to assume that we will not do it in His kingdom either.Among God's final commands in the Scriptures to mankind are to commands to; 'Worship YHVH God' (Revelation 14:7, 22:9) and those who don't worship YHVH God are unknowingly worshiping the 'beast' or 'his image'. YHVH God call His people to 'come out' of the religious systems that fail to truly worship YHVH God, Those churches are known as Babylon the Great (Revelation 18:4), and it may well surprise you as to who Babylon the Great really is, as I will share. So, we need to know what true worship really is, according to YHVH and Jesus. Read this book to know the correct object of worship, what it means to truly worship YHVH, and how to be a true worshiper.Don

"Whoever calls on the name of YHVH will be saved". That passage originated from Joel 2:32, but is repeated by Peter and Paul in the New Testament. Even though your Bibles may say, "Whoever call on the name of 'the LORD' will be saved", yet the original text doesn't say "the LORD", it says, "YHVH". Who is YHVH? What does it mean to 'call upon the name of YHVH? And why is it important to 'call upon the name of YHVH'? Why is it that only those who call upon the name of YHVH will be saved? Why is it that YHVH will not hear everyone that calls on the name YHVH? Before we can call on the name of YHVH in a manner that He will hear us, we must pass the same test Adam and Eve failed in the Garden, and be one of His Redeemed that we find in the Book of the Revelation. What test was that? We will deal with those questions, and much more in this book.

According to the Scriptures Jesus spoke YHVH God's words with YHVH God's authority (Deuteronomy 18:18-19, Acts 3:22, 7:37, John 12:49, 14:10). And Jesus said that he is to be our only teacher (Matthew 23:10), so, I want to know all he, and YHVH God, had to say about salvation.YHVH God is timeless and His plan for our salvation, whether spoken by Himself or Jesus, hasn't changed, but is one cohesive message beginning in the Book of Genesis all they through the Book of the Revelation. God's salvation plan is the same today as it was in the Garden of Eden and that timeless message is woven throughout the Scriptures.Yet, there is another message woven throughout the Scriptures, and that is the deceptive message of the serpent beast. The serpent beast is in competition with YHVH God to take our allegiance and worship away from YHVH God, and he attempts that by deception. Satan is quite successful; Revelation 13:3, "And all the world marveled and followed the beast." Nearly the whole world is deceived.It was in the Garden of Eden that YHVH God first started testing people for their fitness to enter His eternal kingdom and that testing continues with us to this day. As in the Garden of Eden, YHVH God is testing all individuals to see if they are fit for His eternal kingdom of Heaven, and according to Jesus, only a few will pass the test and most Christians will fail. Only a few will pass their tests because many are deceived and thus, they will be found unfit for the Kingdom of God.This book will teach about our testing going on, the temptation coming from the church and the serpent's deception to trip us up, so we fail the test. This is a must read for Christians.

YHVH God (Yahoveh) is testing all individuals to see if they are fit for His kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven and according to Jesus, only a few will pass the test. There is a certain type of person that will God allow in His kingdom and there are certain types that He will not allow in. God, like any other king, does not want people in His kingdom who will not submit to His authority - that would lead to rebellion and chaos. So, God's testing determines who's fit for His kingdom.The testing began in the Garden of Eden, and it continues up to this very day, we read about it from Genesis through the Book of the Revelation. All people will be tested in the exactly same way. The 'many' are failing and only a 'few' are passing (Matthew 7:13-14). While the test is simple the 'many' fail because the temptations are great. In order to pass the test, we must understand and overcome the temptations, and only a 'few' do.The test is simply this, who do you really trust? God gives us a command(s), and the beast, or the image of the beast tells us that we don't need to keep that command(s); the question then is which of these two authorities will you believe and obey? Oh, that sounds so simple; of course we say that we will obey YHVH God's command(s). And we all should, and we all would, except, as Jesus warned, there are great deceptions that fool almost everyone. Matthew 24:11, "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many." Revelation 12:9, 13:3, "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him......And all the world marveled and followed the beast". The world today is full of false prophets, and unless you study Jesus' words you won't even know who they are. Their messages sound so good, and so religious and appealing to our human nature. And that's why 'all the world' is deceived, and that means almost everyone. Could that include you? Read along and you will learn what that great deception is, and Jesus' words that will inoculate us against that deception and then set free from other deceptions.

Revelation 18:4, "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues". This is Jesus speaking YHVH God's final revelation to mankind. What is it that we are being called out of? We are being call out of 'Babylon the Great'. Who is 'Babylon the Great'? In this book, I will show you how and why the Christian Church today is 'Babylon the Great', as well as why and how we must get out.If you were taught, as I was, that it is necessary to accept the Christian faith for salvation, then you may be wondering; why would a person who: diligently studied the Scriptures for decades, studied for years at a theological seminary, seeks after the Kingdom of God and God's righteousness, would walk away from the Christian faith while in his 70's? I left because I was called out by Jesus in Revelation 18:4.I'm writing this book to show, you from Jesus' own words, that there is no salvation in today's Christian Church, and that's because its teachings and practices have strayed from what Jesus said was needed for salvation. While Christians 'believe in Jesus' they don't 'believe Jesus', or they would accept all he said, and they don't (Luke 6:46). Those who accept, believe and practice what the Christian Church teaches in its doctrines will, according to Jesus' words, not end up receiving salvation, but rather, eternal destruction. So, this book not only tells you why I'm not a Christian anymore and it will also tell you why you shouldn't be one either. And I know those are strong and offensive statements and I don't expect you to believe me, so I will show this is true from Jesus' own words. And please note; while I'm leaving the Christian Church, I'm not forsaking any of Jesus' commands or teachings - it's the Christian Church that has done that - and I'm just forsaking the corrupt Christian Church with its idolatrous worship and lawless doctrines. And, unfortunately, those faulty and bad doctrines are part of the core teachings of today's Christian faith.How did the Christian Church forsake some of Jesus' most important teachings and commands? There is a great deception which began in the Garden of Eden and it is causing all the world to wonder after the beast. And we were warned about that by Jesus in the Gospels and the in the Book of the Revelation. This is a book the Church wouldn't want Christians to read - but they must read it to be among the redeemed.

Are You Following Jesus or the Church? There is a difference between what Jesus taught and what the Church is teaching. The Church tells us that we are free from the Law, Jesus told us to keep the law. The church tells us that we must worship the Trinity, Jesus told us to worship Yahoveh alone. The church has decided to create its doctrines based on Paul's letters to the exclusion of Jesus' words. The church claims it loves Jesus, but it ignores much of what Jesus said, especially in regards to the keeping of God's law and worship Yahoveh alone. These differences are irreconcilable How do we solve these differences? We don't. We must simply look at the facts and choose for ourselves. We must choose to follow Jesus' teachings or choose to follow the Church's teachings. And if we choose to follow Jesus' teachings we will separate ourselves from Christianity. But the reward makes it well worth the cost. Read this book and you will see that we don't have a choice if we want to gain eternal life.
