Choose this day whom you will serve

There are two systems in the world. One originates and is represented by Babylon, the other in Jerusalem. Babylon is destined to fall (Jer 50:46), while Jerusalem is destined to be vindicated (Jer 51:10). The world is drunk and insane because of the “wine of Babylon.” (Jer 51:7) We must choose which system to follow. God commands us to “flee from Babylon.” (Jer 51:6) Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? (Jam 4:4) Do not love the world, nor the things of the world (1Jo 2:15). As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Josh 24:15).
