OUR LORD WHO COUNTERS DARKNESS

Isaiah 13 verse 19 speaks of the outpost of the  kingdom of darkness on earth called Babylon and declares that it will be overthrown by the Lord God.

Babylon, in the spirit, is a civilization of darkness that rules mankind in cruelty, abject subjugation and enslavement.

A Babylonian subject finds that absolute obedience to the ruler of Babylon is demanded or else destruction is assured. 

A Babylonian civilization violently erases the destinies of men and bends them to pursuits of vanity and nihilism. The passage in Isaiah goes like this:

Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Babylon, that ruins the lives of humans and sinks them into despair by its false promises that it can never fulfill, will be brought to an end and  a civilization of our Lord Jesus of peace, honor and righteousness will flourish.

Amen.
