Babylon Gone

In our third and last post in the series we conclude our journey through the Babylon confusion, we move from the historical shadows of exile into the prophetic climax found in the book of Revelation. We witness the greatest unveiling, the glory of the Lamb who has taken away the sin of the world. 

We have traced the "Line of Confusion" from the Garden of Eden (the lie of lack), through the Plains of Shinar (the bricks of effort), and through the Exile (the blindness of legalism). Now, we see how the "Deadly Concoction" meets its final end. In Revelation, the "mixture" is finally exposed and estranged, the "mystery" is denounced, and the "Finished Work" is fully exhibited so that the blind are no longer blind.

The Seething Pot of Mixture

As we continue our journey into the heart of Babylon, we move from the ancient tower of Nimrod to the dusty streets of Jerusalem on the eve of its fall, and finally into the gilded palaces of the Babylonian conquerors.

In our first post, we saw how the "deadly mixture" began as a whisper in the Garden—a lie that humanity was "not enough"—and grew into the "Gate of God" (Babel), where man tried to reach the heavens with his own bricks of effort. In this post we’ll see how this Babylonian confusion infiltrated the very "House" (the Beth) of God's people, leading to the Exile. We will see that the deviation of the kings and the names of the Babylonian rulers themselves were all part of a "Deadly Concoction" designed to replace the rest in Yah’shua with the striving of man.
