Babylon is the system of forced godlessness. God is the life of the world, and godlessness is death. Babylon’s main goal is to bring you down into death.

Babylon is a system. It will kill you in every way that it can. Wherever there’s life, Babylon opposes it. It cuts you off from God. Being godless, you become lifeless. You become filled with anger and depression instead of inspiration. Instead of being one body with others, you fight them. Instead of helping them escape Babylon, you destroy them. By destroying them, you become poor. Wealth comes from cooperation. By destroying them, you become isolated. How wouldn’t you be isolated when you’re constantly fighting others? Poor and isolated, you become hopeless. Being hopeless, you become self-centered. Being self-centered, you become ruthless. Being ruthless, you continue the cycle of destruction. So Babylon provides destruction, but God provides mercy, hope, unity, wealth, and life.

Originally, Babylon was a city. It was a city that became an empire. The more that God’s people forgot him, the stronger Babylon became. As the evil of God’s people went up, so did the evil of Babylon. Finally, Babylon conquered the land they were staying in. It took the people, and forced them to come back to the city. Once there, Babylon tried to force them to adopt Babylon-culture. This is where the term “Babylon” comes from. A godless system that oppresses everyone it can. Spiritually, and materially.

Therefore, the word “Babylon” fills a gap in our vocabulary. It’s not about capitalism or communism. Babylon is not an economic system, even though it affects economics. If you have capitalism, then Babylon will make sure that everyone suffers. If you have communism, then Babylon will make sure that everyone suffers. If you want people to increase in wealth, you need to get rid of Babylon. If you want to get rid of poverty, you need to get rid of Babylon. The godlessness of Babylon is the problem, not any economic system.

Babylon is not about living in a harsh and “unenlightened” time period. You can get rid of Babylon. There are times when Babylon is strong, but this doesn’t have to do with the time period. No, it has to do with people’s actions. When people are godless, then they experience Babylon. When people love God and are righteous, then the Kingdom of God spreads on the Earth.

Babylon is not about this politician or that being evil. Babylon is not an evil person who needs to be defeated. Instead, it slowly forces everyone to do evil things. Babylon is a system. Why do you think the politician is popular? If you lived in the Kingdom of God, would they be so successful? If everyone counted to four, how could those politicians influence anybody? With one goal in mind, they’d look at their two choices. The three parts of life would guide their actions, and the world would be made beautiful through the four methods.

Nor is Babylon the world. God made the world, and the world is good. What God made is good. This world doesn’t need to be escaped, but Babylon needs to be escaped. Babylon takes a good world, and tries to make it ugly. But it isn’t ugly by nature. The world is only made ugly when people are at war with God.

Make peace with God, and escape Babylon. You’ll find the Kingdom of God to be a much better place to live.
