Why should we not stay living in the city?

Apparently few other than me understand Mystery Babylon as shown is not representing what others say it does. It should not be uniquely my perspective, all should see the characteristics in the representation show all big cities of civilization, which are all godless with ambition, materialism, selfishness, exploitation, and corruption. It is all contrary to the stewardship to this world required of us.

I find so many Christians have a passive sort of faith which uses the rapture understood from the Bible to excuse them from action they should take, it has them answer that God will just take us out, and passages like, “Come out from her!” just refer to God’s action to take the believers up from this world, and that they are not going to have to see coming trouble in this world from what they still are involved in, and they do not have to answer to the required stewardship we are here for, that being in the image of God really involves. The Bible is not showing what justifies that sort of faith. We must do things ourselves, being taken out from this world is not for believers now to be away from troubles coming here anymore than earlier believers who saw more troubles than we do, it will be with coming judgment from God on the unrepentant.
