I dreamed I went to a carnival billed as THE GREATEST CARNIVAL SHOW
ON EARTH! As I pulled in to the lot, there were smiling greeters
with flashlights who guided me expertly as I parked.

I exited my vehicle to the sound of excitement, the glare and flash
of multi-colored lights and the screams of thrill seekers on the
various rides. The cacophony was almost overwhelming. I followed the
crowd of people who were happily murmuring about the various things
they had come for: blessings, thrills, to be fed, to be entertained.

I had just paid the full admission price when someone started
walking towards me from the shadows. While I could not quite
recognize his face, I knew he was a friend. He said, "Why are you
wasting your time and money here?"

Part 4 of 6

This series sounds a warning to the contemporary church. It will show that spiritual Jerusalem, the church of Jesus Christ – the city of God, has been invaded by Babylon, the city of man. We will show how this conflict plays out in the contemporary scene and how Babylon will ultimately fall in this glorious climax of the ages.
