1. BABYLON is the Greek form of BABEL, the infamous city founded by Nimrod, "Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one ... wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was BABEL,, ..." [Genesis 10:9-10] The accolades, "mighty one" and "mighty hunter" underscore Nimrod's opposition and rebellion against God. God's commandment after the flood, was very clear, spead out and "replenish the earth", Genesis 9:1;  Nimrod had other plans, "... let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may REACH UNTO HEAVEN; and let us MAKE US A NAME, LEST WE BE SCATTERED ABROAD abroad upon the face of the whole earth" [Genesis 11:4] The tower was in essence a two-way demonic portal; a gateway to descend hell on earth, a route for men to access powers of hell through secret societies, idolatory and false religion, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" [2 Timothy 3:5] God stepped iin and the tower was not finished, "Therefore is the name of it called BABEL; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them ..." [Genesis 11:9]
2. The tower was not finished and Satan was not done. Many years later, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had a dream, interpreted by Daniel, "Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the FORM THEREOF WAS TERRIBLE" [Daniel 2:31] at the head of the image was Babylon, represented Nebuchadnezzar, a global empire strengthened from hell through sorcery and magical powers [Daniel 2:2] The "breath and arms" and "belly and thighs" described descent of a new tower,  spiritual Babylon, with landfall of "legs and feet" in Rome, "And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise" [Daniel 2:4] The grounds for the new tower, Babylon Church, was facilitated by mingling of seed; cohabitation of denizens of hell with men, "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay" [Daniel 2:43] CHRIST was revealed in the days of the fourth kingdom, Daniel 2:44; He was at Babel and returned to set up true highway to heaven,  "... in the days of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: .." [Daniel 2:44]
3. Kingdom of God is eternal life, the life of God in Jesus Christ sown on the Cross; "good seed",  "... The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which SOWED GOOD SEED in his field: But while men slept, HIS ENEMY came and SOWED TARES among the wheat, and went his way" [Matthew 13:24-25] Church is the visible Kingdom, the fellowship of Saints united in one body by grace through faith in the revelation of fulness of God in Jesus Christ, "... the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell" [Colossians 1:18-19] The "enemy" came after the "good seed" was in the ground, the same who beguiled Eve and designed tower of Babel came riding a white horse, "And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [Revelation 6:2] This rider on white horse is not Jesus Christ as some think; only a deceiver would ride to "conquer" without a name and a bow without arrows; he came to sow tares [2 Corinthians 11:14, Revelation 19:11-16] The crown was never his own, he received it by deception in Eden. He usurped kingdoms and glory of this world and gives it to whomsoever he wishes for his own end [Luke 4:4-8]
4. Circa 312 AD, the deceiver passed the crown of infamy to Constantine, Emperor of Romean empire. Emperor Constantine claimed to have seen a flaming cross in his dream and a voice saying, "In this sign, conquer!"; it was a snare, Jesus already won on the Cross [John 19:30] Constantine, under guise of decriminalising Christianity seduced a section of the Church into union with Imperial Rome; Babylon Church was born, formalising a new home for the gods of Rome, "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" [Revelation 17:5] Babylon Church is the new tower of Babel promising access to heaven outside the highway of God revealed in Jesus Christ. It has outward forms of godliness but inwardly a nest of cults, new-age fantasies, witchcraft and sorcery, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" [Colossians 2:8-9] Emperors, popes, kings, priests, etc., received the crown of harlotry through the ages to sit as gods over men.  King Henry VIII was a classic example, he enacted the act of supremacy in 1534, making himself and heirs head of the Church of England.

1. STRONG DELUSION is insatiable appetite for "EVIL IMAGINATION", associated in the Bible with unparalleled "WICKEDNESS" as in the days of Noah, "And GOD saw that the WICKEDNESS of man was great in the earth, and that EVERY IMAGINATION OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL"[Genesis 6:5] I recommend reading FROM DECEPTION TO DELUSION [www.voiceoflasttrumpets.com] As in the days before the flood, this generation is entangled in ruinous relationship with fallen spirits and an emerging New World Order where human faculties are superintended and enhanced by demonic intelligence. God and everything pertaining His TRUTH" are vehemently opposed by unsurpassed manipulation and infernal illusion fast replacing reality, "And for this cause GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, that they should BELIEVE A LIE" [2 Thessalonians 2:11] STRONG DELUSION is divine indictment of this generation but to those in the TRUTH, it is the signal to focus on "MATTERS" long foretold now "ARISING", "Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY shall not come, except there come A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition" [2 Thessalonians 2:3]
2. "FALLING AWAY" comes first, the separation of TARES from WHEAT before HARVEST,  "... lest while ye gather up the TARES, ye root up also the WHEAT with them.  ...  the harvest is the end of the world; and the REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS" [Matthew 13:28-30, 39] WHEAT and TARES, unfortunately represent the CHURCH; WHEAT have their roots in "INCORRUPTIBLE SEED", 1 Peter 1:23 and TARES, sown by the "ENEMY" [Matthew 13:28] They look so much alike; grow in same field, watered from same well and equally favoured with spiritual gifts by God, who, "... maketh HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND ON THE GOOD, and sendeth RAIN ON THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST" [Matthew 5:45] However, WHEAT like Sheep HEAR and KNOW the VOICE of JESUS, the GOOD SHEPHERD but TARES neither HEARD nor KNOW HIM, as it is written: "... Now WE BELIEVE, not because of thy saying: for WE HAVE HEARD HIM OURSELVES, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world" [John 4:42] Listen carefully, it is not enough to hear the Preacher, he did not die for you, whosoever did not "HEAR" Him himself and KNOW not His VOICE shall be gathered with TARES, "...  and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, and bind them in bundles to BURN THEM: but gather the wheat into my barn" [Matthew 13:30]
3. MATTERS ARISING brings to remembrance the final drama of satanic intrusion on earth. The "wiring" of the world into a global village by world wide web and further advances in technology brought us back to Babel, "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. ... let us build us a city and a TOWER, WHOSE TOP MAY REACH UNTO HEAVEN; ..." [Genesis 11:1, 4] The UFO files declassified by USA, removed all doubts of the source of phenomenal advances in technology in the last century, "MINGLING", "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN: but THEY SHALL NOT CLEAVE one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay" [Daniel 2:43] As things stand, we have gone beyond "MINGLING", ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is the game-changer. AI, epackaged TREE of the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL, is the working of "LYING SPIRITS" operating at the highest levels of our government, business, military, science, etc., to prepare the way of the MAN OF SIN, "Even him, WHOSE COMING IS AFTER THE WORKING OF SATAN with all power and signs and lying wonders" [2 Thessalonians 2:9] One "LYING SPIRIT" was enough in Eden, the SERPENT, now we have a army of "LYING SPIRITS" in a generation drowned in STRONG DELUSION and in "SLUMBER" [Matthew 25:5]
4. "MATTERS ARISING" is a jolt in the arm to those who are not lulled to "SLUMBER" by DELUSION; the present spate of wars, economic instability, pestilence, climate change, etc., are smokescreens to hide the entry of the SON OF PERDITION [2 Thessalonians 2:3] The trick works so well, the day breaks as it has done for six millennia and we all go about, oblivious of what lies ahead as in the days of Noah,  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. ... they were EATING and DRINKING, MARRYING and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark" [Matthew 24:37-38] Behind the facade of the NEW NORMAL, whilst nations fight over dwindling natural resources and territory, Satan is busy putting final touches to his final onslaught. As we speak, every seat of government on earth is under siege of "LYING SPIRITS"; if it seems our leaders are clueless, it is because they are operating an agenda that does not serve the interest of Man but devils,"Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall ...? ... And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, ... I will go forth, and I will be a LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF ALL HIS PROPHETS. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail"  [1 Kings 22:20-22] In Part Two, we shall tie up all loose ends.
