1 Cor. 1:10 Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion.
Babylon’s purpose is for man to make a name for himself and deny God’s name (Genesis 11:4):
- To denominate the church by taking any name other than our Lord’s is spiritual fornication (cf. Revelation 3:8).
- The church, as the pure virgin espoused to Christ, should have no name other than her Husband’s (2 Corinthians 11:2; 1 Corinthians 1:10).
Babylon means confusion (Genesis 11:6-7). - In the church we should not have different kinds of speaking; we should have only one mind and one mouth under one ministry with one unique teaching for the one Body (Romans 15:5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Philippians 2:2; 1 Timothy 1:3-4).
- When we are in our mind, we are in the principle of Babylon; when we are in our spirit, we are in today’s Jerusalem, in which there is the divine oneness (John 4:23-24; Ephesians 4:3).
- We should not dare to have any division, because our Husband is one, and we His wife are also one (Matthew 19:3-9).
