A stained-glass vision of deliverance: the remnant walks away from the ruins of empire toward a path of covenant light. Babylon is behind. Zion awaits.
🔥 Come Out of Her, My People
Babylon is not just a place—it’s a pattern.
It’s not just ancient—it’s alive.
And if you’re only looking for it on a map,
you’ll miss the fact that you’re already in it.
When Revelation declares, “Come out of her, my people” (Rev. 18:4),
it’s not simply about geography.
It’s about spiritual separation from systems that exploit, erase, and enslave.
🏛️ Babylon Then
In Scripture, Babylon was the empire that captured and exiled Judah.
It burned the temple.
It mocked the prophets.
It demanded holy people sing songs in a foreign land.
It was the first place where theology had to live without buildings.
Where holiness had to survive without a sanctuary.
Where prophets wept by the waters (Psalm 137)
and dreamed of deliverance.
🌆 Babylon Now
But Babylon never died—it just rebranded.
Today, Babylon is systemic:
White supremacy clothed in law. Capitalism that devours the poor. Churches that echo empire more than Christ. Cultures that steal our stories and sell them back to us.
Babylon is anything that says:
“Bow to this image, or burn.” (Daniel 3)
✊🏾 The Diaspora Is Not Home—It’s Holding Ground
We are the scattered.
The descendants of a stolen people.
And just like our ancestors in exile,
we’ve been told to blend in and shut up.
But the call still echoes through time:
“Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives!” — Jeremiah 51:6
This doesn’t mean run without vision.
It means build something holy outside the system.
It means love deeper than they hate.
It means reclaim our name, our priesthood, and our power.
🌄 Toward Zion
Zion is not a megachurch.
It’s not an aesthetic.
It’s not nationalism.
Zion is the kingdom of God breaking through the cracks.
It’s justice in motion.
Joy uncolonized.
Covenant unbroken.
We are on our way there.
But to enter Zion, we have to leave Babylon behind.
🎨 Stained Glass Resistance
The Stained Glass Collective exists to name the system,
to call the remnant,
and to rebuild sacred memory.
Each post is a shard of revelation.
Each image, a window into freedom.
Each truth, a break from Babylon’s spell.
🕯️ Are You Still in Babylon?
Ask yourself:
Who profits from your silence? What idols have you bowed to? Are you building Zion—or renting Babylon’s stage?
You don’t have to stay.
Babylon isn’t a city—it’s a system.
And systems collapse when the truth refuses to cooperate.
✨ Come Out With Us
Follow the fire.
Walk the long road.
Build stained glass as you go.
Zion is calling.
