Isa
47:7-9 (ESV)
7 You
said, "I shall be mistress forever,"
so that
you did not lay these things to heart
or
remember their end.
8 Now
therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures,
who sit securely,
who say
in your heart,
"I am, and there is no one besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow
or know
the loss of children":
9 These two things shall come to you
in a
moment, in one day;
the
loss of children and widowhood
shall
come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries
and the
great power of your enchantments.
NOTE: The
"you" is Babylon, many years before it would be a world power, but I
believe the prophecy is for today. Babylon is two thing or has been two things.
It was and will be again a real nation and it is a real philosophy or
worldview. The real nation does not exist now, although I believe it will exist
again. The worldview has never stopped. It is a mistress who has always had
lovers. She has never known loss because she has always found followers. Today,
she has more followers than any other time in history. It is a philosophy based
upon pleasure, and a denial of God as ruler of mankind. The Babylonian
worldview believes that man is god of this world and that man alone will
provide the answers necessary for life and existence. The philosophy deeply
hates the Christian God, preferring anything to it. The heart of the philosophy
is a mixture of atheism and humanism. Spiritualism is tolerated, so long as all
ways lead to God. Of course, that position is logically untenable and
self-defeating, but Babylon does not care since it is committed to the ultimate
destruction of the idea of a God. The message of the bible is that God has
decreed and end to the nation, Babylon, and to the worldview of Babylon. It
will happen. It is coming.
