When should we get out of the cities?
The time to leave the cities is directly after the Sunday laws have been implemented, that is when they are going to be enforced. The Biblical passage that pertains to this and should be heeded is found in Revelation. 13:11-17 Rev. 13:11 “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted the power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.†Basically it is telling us about the system that will institute a symbol to be worshipped. This system will be an imitation or replica of that which God has already instituted as a symbol of worship of the Creator. It is important for us to remember that God gave the Sabbath as the symbol of worshipping Him as Creator. We find this in Exodus 20 Ex 20: 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it, you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.†Compare this with where it clearly indicates that we worship the Creator. Revelation 14:7 “saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.†If we now seriously consider the text above, one would have to look at a counterfeit for the Sabbath to understand the image or replica that will be instituted in place of the Sabbath. Under the authority of early Rome and The Papacy, Sunday has already been instituted as a substitute for Saturday. By understanding the Revelation text, it should become clear that this (Saturday/Sunday) will become the pivotal point and time where people would have to flee the cities to escape the consequences of prosecution.
