Read: Jeremiah 51-52
The first destruction of physical Babylon is parallel to the destruction of spiritual Babylon even to the stone cast into the sea (Jer. 51:63 and Rev. 18:21) We have talked about this before but it bears repeating. Babylon means “confusion”. Babylon is where the children of Israel were trying to build a portal to heaven in Genesis 11 and God had to go down and confuse their languages. They couldn’t build or communicate so they spread out and divided. In Acts two, God gave his disciples a new language which the people could understand and it brought them together and from that day the Church was built. Babylon is in direct opposition to God. It is Satan’s domain. I have often heard people say that the devil is the author of confusion. The Bible doesn’t say those exact words but it does say in 1 Co. 14:33 that God is NOT the author of confusion, but of peace…
One day all confusion will be gone. I Co. 13:12 says, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
Lord, as the days get darker and darker let us know your peace.
