A Call for Separation
Commentators explain that the command to flee Babylon is an urgent call for God's people to separate themselves from a corrupt system doomed for judgment. By remaining, they risk being 'cut off in her iniquity.' This principle is echoed in Revelation 18:4, urging believers in every age to avoid entanglement with worldly systems that oppose God, lest they share in the consequences.
