“The False Religion Of Babel”

(Gen. 11:4) "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name…" Little is mentioned in this passage concerning the great sin of the people of Babel, but there is much here that angered God. 1) "And they said, Go let us build" The purpose of the tower of Babel was to create an alternate way to reach heaven apart from God. They agreed together, (under the leadership of Nimrod) to construct a man-made system of salvation and worship. 2)"And let us make a name."  Satan's plan since the beginning of time has been to place his name above Jesus Christ, the glory of God, and the Word of God. Since Babel, Satan's methods have not changed, for he is still using compromise, and ecumenicalism to deceive. That's why in (Rev.17:5) God named the final state of Satan's apostate religion MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." Babylon's corrupted "name" has infiltrated every religion to some degree through idolatry, astrology, sorcery, witchcraft, and paganism. May God help us to discern the truth of God's Word, from the error of Babylon in this day in which we live!
