What is Babylon?
Babylon is a place. In Scripture it is also a metaphor. It stands for the Godless secular systems of power in this world. The rise and fall of Babylon is the story of history.
Babylon is proud.
It’s rebellious.
It says it has no need of God.
It is shameless.
It corrupts the innocent.
It upholds debauchery.
It mocks at virtue.
It cancels truth.
It is obsessed with power.
And we feel helpless because it will not be stopped.
It rises, and it rises, and it rises as every worldly weapon we raise against it seems to fail. Who can stop it?
The return of Jesus Christ will stop it! He is the Stone made without hands that ends all the worldly governments!
Daniel 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
The text above except for my comments about the return of Christ and the verses from Daniel were taken from the video below. I hope this inspires you to watch it!
