Bye Bye Babylon...

I saw an insight earlier this week, and I wanted to share it because one of the core issues when we consider our place in this world is TRUST.

"When Babylon perishes, the economic chaos is complete; the world of the unbeliever, on which he has pinned his hopes and built his trust, collapses! This is true with respect to the fall of every Babylon -- whether it is literal Babylon, or Nineveh, or Rome." -- William Hendriksen, one of the best interpreters of Revelation, as quoted in Revelation: 4 Views, edited by Steve Gregg

I would add our current global capitalism to the mix. It too, shall pass, which is what Gene always says. So don't trust it!

Our true Home is somewhere else - it's Someone else - we will see Him face to face one day...
