Chapter Thirty-Six/The Great City Devastated - "Get Out of Her, My Children"

 How, though, do God's people get out of Babylon the Great? In the case of ancient Babylon, the Jews had to make a physical journey from the city of Babylon all the way back to the Promised Land. But more was involved than that. Isaiah prophetically told the Israelites: "Turn away, turn away, get out of there, touching nothing unclean; get out from the midst of her, keep yourselves clean, who are carrying the utensils of Jehovah." (Isaiah 52:11) Yes, they had to abandon all unclean practices of Babylonish religion that might tarnish their worship of Jehovah.
