19. Just before the pouring out of the plagues, what call does God send to His people still in
Babylon?
Answer
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not
partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and
God hath remembered her iniquities." Rev. 18:4,5. See Gen. 19:12-17; Jer. 51:6; and page 58 of Vol. II.
NOTE - Many of God's people will doubtless be laid away to rest shortly before the time of
trouble. See Isa. 57:1; Rev. 14:13. Referring to the time before the Flood, an ancient book says: "And all
men who walked in the ways of the Lord, died in those days, before the Lord brought the evil upon man
which He had declared, for this was from the Lord, that they should not see the evil which the Lord spoke
of concerning the sons of men."-Book of Jasher 4:1-20. See also chapter 5: 21 of the same book.
