The True Essence of "Come Out of Her" and the Nature of Sin

Are you ready to uncover the profound truths behind one of the Bible's most compelling commands—"Come out of her, my people"? What is "her," and how does this ancient call echo through today’s world of spiritual confusion, false traditions, and worldly systems? Dive deep into the Scriptures to uncover the layers of meaning, the restoration of covenant faithfulness, and the transformative power of aligning with Elohim's divine purpose.

The statement "Come out of her, my people" in Revelation 18:4 is far more profound than merely saying "don’t sin." It’s a call to action—a separation from systems, practices, and ideologies that hinder Elohim’s purpose for humanity. While sin is indeed rebellion against Elohim, the root issue is deeper: failure to fulfill the divine purpose for which we were created.

Sin as a Failure to Fulfill Purpose

At its core, sin isn’t just about breaking rules; it’s about falling short of Elohim’s intent:

1. Created for Purpose: Humanity was designed to glorify Elohim, walk in His ways, and steward His creation (Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 43:7).

2. Sin as Dysfunction: Sin is like a tool refusing to perform its designed function. A tool that doesn’t fulfill its purpose becomes useless (Matthew 5:13) and risks destruction (John 15:6).

   • Example: A lamp designed to give light but hidden under a basket fails its purpose (Matthew 5:15-16).

3. Elohim’s Intention: We were created to walk in His covenant, live in righteousness, and reflect His character (Micah 6:8; Romans 8:29). Sin disrupts that harmony and distorts His image in us.

What Does "Come Out of Her" Truly Mean?

The phrase goes beyond avoiding sin—it demands:

1. Rejecting Systems of Corruption:

   • Babylon symbolizes a world system that promotes selfishness, idolatry, and rebellion against Elohim (Revelation 18:3). It thrives on pride and defiance, encouraging humanity to live outside of Elohim’s purpose.

   • Isaiah 5:20: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil...” These systems normalize sin and dysfunction, misleading many.

2. Returning to Covenant Purpose:

   • Separation from "her" requires aligning with Elohim’s design for us:

     • Matthew 6:33: Seek first the kingdom of Elohim and His righteousness.

     • Jeremiah 31:33: Restored purpose is walking in His Torah, written on our hearts.

   • It’s not just about avoiding evil but actively living as vessels of light, fulfilling the function for which we were created (Ephesians 2:10).

3. Rejecting Religiosity and False Worship:

   • False religion often mimics truth but leads to dysfunction:

     • It replaces Elohim’s instructions with man-made doctrines (Mark 7:7-9).

     • It emphasizes tradition over transformation (2 Timothy 3:5).

   • Revelation 17:5 calls Babylon “the mother of harlots,” representing false spiritual systems that draw people away from Elohim’s purpose.

The Ultimate Consequence of Dysfunction

Y’shu’ah HaMashiach (Jesus) warned of the consequences of failing to fulfill our divine function:

1. The Unfruitful Tree:

   • In Luke 13:6-9, Y’shu’ah told a parable about a fig tree that bore no fruit. The owner intended to cut it down because it failed its purpose, symbolizing judgment for spiritual unfruitfulness.

2. Outer Darkness:

   • The servant who buried his talent in the ground rather than using it was cast into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). This illustrates that failing to act in alignment with Elohim’s purpose leads to rejection.

3. Ultimate Destruction:

   • Sin isn’t just breaking a rule—it’s choosing to live outside of Elohim’s design. Such a path leads to eternal separation from Him (Revelation 21:8).

Practical Application: Living in Purpose

To "come out of her" is to reject a life of dysfunction and embrace a life aligned with Elohim’s will:

1. Repentance (Teshuvah): Turn from rebellion and return to Elohim’s ways.

   • Isaiah 55:7: “Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord...”

2. Obedience to Elohim’s Instructions:

   • Deuteronomy 10:12-13: “What does the Lord your God require of you...? To walk in obedience to Him and to keep His commandments.”

   • True worship is living in covenant faithfulness, not merely external rituals.

3. Fruitfulness in the Spirit:

   • John 15:5-8: Abide in Y’shu’ah to bear much fruit, fulfilling your divine purpose.

   • The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is evidence of living in alignment with Elohim.

Conclusion

Sin is more than disobedience—it’s failing to live as Elohim intended. The call to "come out of her" is a command to reject dysfunction, whether in worldly systems, false religion, or personal rebellion. Instead, it’s an invitation to fulfill our divine purpose, glorify Elohim, and walk in His covenant. Let us not merely avoid sin but actively pursue the purpose for which we were created, living as lights in a dark world (Matthew 5:14-16). #BiblicalTruth #ComeOutOfHer #CovenantRestoration #Ephraimscry #GregWitter
