We that are alive today can look back through history covered in the Bible and see God's character, ways, means of doing things. For instance:
When ever God gave instructions, those instructions were very clear, very precise, and very simple.
Each shall bear fruit after it's own kind. Do not eat of this particular tree.
Thou shall not have no other God's before me. Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not lie, Thou shalt not covet, etc.....
Concerning His instructions on ....festivals, and ceremonies. Thou shalt take a lamb of one year old, without spot and blemish, and keep in your house for 7 days, and then on the 7th day thou shalt kill it and eat it. While standing, and in traveling clothes etc..... Then in memorial that shall on the 14th day of the 7th month do this and that etc...
In building the Temple, thou shalt build it this long and no longer, this wide and no wider, this high and no higher etc.....
In the NT: take the water pots (the 6 that were standing there) and fill them with water, once you do that take out a dipper full and take it the governor. Go here and ask for a donkey and bring it to me. Go here and in 3 days I will meet you there.
Even in the 7 letters in Rev. do this, or I will do this etc....
All of them are very clear, very precise, and very simple.
Now when it gets to this Mystery Babylon it gets vague?????????? The instruction is clear, very precise, and very simple, "come out of her my people". As to what we are to come out of is......what exactly?
