the future age:
The second angel announces the fall of Babylon. Verse 8. After this
proclamation a voice is heard from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people." Rev. xviii, 1-4.

Now that the absurdity of placing this transaction after the
Second Advent may be seen, please read 1 Thess. iv, 16, 17.

It is there plainly stated that at the coming of Christ, his people shall all be caught up to meet him in the air, and thenceforward be forever with the Lord.
Q: Will the Lord take his people to Babylon when he comes?
A: Never.
**He says, "I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John xiv, 2, 3.
Then the Lord will not have occasion to call his people out of Babylon after the Second Advent; for from that time onward they are to be forever with him."
