End Time Babylon – Part 3
Ancient Babel
OK, the computer/corrupted heart analogy was a side-trail, but a super important one. Back to Babylon…
So Tom, how IS all of this connected to the End-Time Babylon?!! It all goes back to the first Babylon, called Babel. God made man to be with Him on earth, developing the resources of creation forever in partnership with Him. That is what God called “very good” in Genesis 1:31. But man, in the corruption of His heart, has consistently attempted to develop the earth in righteousness APART from God. This resulted in God completely destroying everyone but Noah the first time. God did a complete reformat of the whole earth with a flood…but the programming language was still corrupt…even in the one righteous man’s family. Out of Ham, the corruption began to infect more and more of creation:
Genesis 10:6-10 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. (7) The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. (8) Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. (9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD." (10) And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
This begins the story of Nimrod…the first emperor the world had ever seen. Nimrod was the first “city builder”, and the first united City was Babel:
Genesis 11:1-9 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. (2) And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. (3) Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. (4) And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." (5) But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. (6) And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. (7) Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." (8) So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. (9) Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
The city of Babel was mankind’s first attempt after the flood to try to develop the earth…to bring righteousness to earth apart from God. Sounds good, right! Sounds like hope and change that might transform an “unfair” earth. But this is the problem: Nimrod chose hunting…the act of “taking” the resources of the earth (don’t get me wrong, I like hunting, it is the “message” of hunting in this instance I am conveying)…rather than shepherding or farming in partnership with God.
Nimrod proposed developing the resources of the earth WITHOUT God. Look at what he did and said! Nimrod made brick…a man-made product instead of God’s perfect stone. He took asphalt…something that required heating and refining…instead of natural lime or mud mortar…He took God’s resources and then said the great lie” let us make for ourselves…” According to the Bible, mankind can make nothing good for themselves…good is only possible in partnership with God. This is the great lie being foisted upon the earth right now…that some global new order can produce good. It CANNOT:
Mark 10:18 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
This idea of making something good apart from God is the beginning of the thread of Babylon throughout the Bible. It gets repeated in history several times…Nimrod, Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, The Persians and Medes, Rome. This is the Babylon formula: 1. Start with a global superpower, 2. Introduce an arrogant leader who then becomes drunk with pride, 3. Said leader takes the resources that belong to God, and offers them to the people to “build for ourselves.”
Daniel 4:30-32 The king spoke, saying, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?" (31) While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! (32) And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses."
This is a picture of what will happen to the end-time Nebuchadnezzar…the end-time Nimrod…the Antichrist. He will say to himself “I will be the messiah of the earth. I will make her fair and just without God” and he will be given what he wants…the mind of a beast. He will become this beast:
Revelation 13:5-9 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. (6) Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. (7) It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. (8) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (9) If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
The beast will start with hope and change, and the fruit of that without God is death and destruction. Nimrod’s Babel was the first offer of Godless “hope and change.” In fact, in the Hebrew text, the phrase “let us make a name for ourselves” is stated “let us provide our own salvation.” Nimrod was offering the world himself…his plan…as a way back into the “good life” without God. He wanted to BE God.
Most people picture the tower of Babel as a sort of leaning tower of Pisa. It wasn’t. The tower of Babel was a ziggurat…a pyramid. Nimrod wanted to sit at the top of the pyramid and be God to the people in his kingdom. This idea was eventually symbolized in Egypt by the eye of Horus or the “all seeing eye.” This first occult symbol goes all the way back to old king Nimus (what the Greeks called Nimrod). Look on the back of the American dollar, and you will find the same symbol. Go to Washington DC and you will find the Washington Monument. Know what that is? That is an Ashera pole…an obelisk that is higher than anything near it with a little pyramid on top…this symbol dates all the way back to Babel. It always sits in the center of a circle. This is a phallic symbol in the middle of the female symbol. This is connected to the sexual rituals connected to the first mystery religion started by the king who became the first God-man…Nimrod. Nimrod’s first tower resulted in him eventually calling himself a God along with his wife, Semiramis. Nimrod eventually began calling himself the sun god and Semiramis called herself the moon goddess. Bel and Nebo, Jupiter and Venus, Marduk and the Queen of Heaven, Baal and Ashera. These are all the same deities that spread across the earth when God scattered Babel. This is why Baal worship used prostitutes. (incidentally, sexual corruption, occult symbols like the all seeing eye, and king worship all eventually merge together whenever this Babylon spirit is allowed to mature.)
The top of Nimrod’s mountain. the building extending to the “heavens” was a spiritual desire. Nimrod wanted to sit on top of the mountain of God. This is because Nimrod was driven by satan. Like father, like son. Look at what God says about satan’s fall:
Isaiah 14:12-15 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! (13) For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' (15) Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.
Nimrod was the earthly expression of what was in satan’s heart. Satan desires worship, because he wants to be enthroned on the praises of mankind. The earth belongs to men. Dominion of the earth was given to mankind by God in Genesis 1:28. This is confirmed throughout the Bible:
Psalms 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
Satan looks for men and women that will agree with him, and when he finds one, he helps him express that desire on earth. God also looks for men and women that will agree with Him, and when He finds them, He uses their desire to give them faith to express His kingdom on earth. Right now, there is a war being waged in the heavens, it is war over worship, and there is an earthly expression of it seen in the kingdoms of the earth.
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
God honors the dignity of the choices of mankind. When a geographic location of people is united, God honors the desire of their heart. If they want to worship what man can do (and really eventually end up worshiping satan through his man, who WILL require worship eventually) God will let them. If they want to unite and worship God together, God will answer with powerful transformation from heaven…this is why the House of Prayer is the end-time answer to antichrist worship (more on that later).
God wasn’t worried about Nimrod building a really tall building. God saw that the corrupted heart of man desired to provide their own salvation apart from His perfect plan to redeem what Adam and Eve led into corruption. Man wanted to worship the one who appeared to be the best man in Babel…the mighty hunter Nimrod. When observing this united move in Babel, God said:
Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
What God was saying was: “I honor the dignity of the choice of people. For love, everyone will get what they want.” But then we see the patient Father’s heart!
2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
God knew that what mankind’s corrupted heart desired would result in famine, widespread death, disease…demonization…rampant sin…everything described in the plagues of the Book of Revelation. God wasn’t ready for all this to mature yet. He had a plan to provide for Himself a family of people who would resist the corruption in their heart and for love, choose to love Him back. There is coming a time, though, when the earth will get what it wants. We are RAPIDLY approaching that time. Mankind is going to get the fruit of what it wants in years not decades, in my opinion.
Revelation is the story of God pressing play on what he “paused” in Babel. God said, “they will get whatever they want…but not yet!” and He paused the spread of the virus by confusing the languages and scattering the people. But there was always a promised day that the people would be allowed to “reunite.” When that “reuniting” happens, it will result in the worst time the earth has ever seen…this is called the “great tribulation.” God, in His mercy, has limited the tribulation to 7 years, and the great tribulation to the second half of those 7 years, 3.5 years…1260 days…42 months. Daniel was told what the reuniting would look like:
Daniel 12:1-4 "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. (2) And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. (3) Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. (4) "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
Daniel was told all this will happen when “knowledge increases” and people run “to and fro.” The greatest increase in knowledge the earth has ever seen happened with the introduction of the internet to the world in the 1990s. Right now, the internet is actively reconnecting what was disconnected in Babel. The spirit of Babylon is now being allowed to reunite everyone who has a heart to provide their own humanistic salvation apart from God. Mankind running to and fro…the explosion in global travel… is allowing what started in Babel to be effectively re-introduced globally. The Bible describes a man coming to the forefront…an end time Nimrod…who will unite many people under His global idea of hope and change. When He does, the earth will find out the hard way that man’s corrupted heart always produces the same fruit.
This corrupted fruit is the fruit of communism or socialism. Marxist ideas are simply the re-branding of Nimrod’s ideas…the lie that somewhere in the heart of man, apart from God, there is good. This evil lie claims that if only we could get all the divisions out of the way…unite the people…redistribute God’s resources…we could provide our OWN salvation. This is the end-time Babylon’s “golden cup” that is full of abomination. Looks good from the outside, but is truly full of filth.
Revelation 17:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
This is what the filth in the golden cup tastes like: Nazi Germany, where Hitler promised the good life to anyone who would agree with Him about taking from the Jews and cleansing the world of the inferior races. Stalinist Russia, where Stalin promised the good life to anyone who would agree with Him about taking from the rich and redistributing it to the poor. Maoist China…Cuba…Venezuela…China…this is the lie America, and if you listened at all to the World Economic Forum meeting last week in Davos…the globe…is being charmed with. Find the snake charmer and you will find your end-time Nimrod….
God, in His mercy, has let the earth drink sips from this cup in the past, but the last time it will be poured out in full. God’s “cup of wrath” is really simply letting mankind get the opportunity to let the evil that resides in the corrupted heart mature in full. This is what the Bible says: the wheat (righteousness) and the tares (evil) will both mature, in full, at the same time. The wheat is going to gather in the cities of refuge and sing! But the tares are going to be burned up…consumed by the evil…the fire…which comes out of their own heart:
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." ' "
Ezekiel 28:18 "You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you.
