Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
Get out of Babylon now and save yourselves, don't stick around to get caught up in their mess. This is God's time to settle the score, and he's about to give them exactly what they deserve.
When God says run from toxic situations, you run, don't wait around to see what happens next.
