Characteristics of Babylon idea that has gone on to substantially influence the modern world. Many religious groups in the Eastern, New Age and Christian traditions are founded upon the idea of an eternal soul surviving bodily death—a cornerstone belief of Babylonian religious thought. The book of Daniel reveals that idolatry was a fundamental aspect of Babylonian religion and culture. Daniel chapter 3 records that King Nebuchadnezzar had his artisans construct a 90-foot-tall image of solid gold and commanded people to worship the image. Speaking of the gods of Babylon, the prophet Isaiah wrote, “They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship” (Isaiah 46:6). Idolatry is another Babylonian practice that we can see incorporated into many modern religions some thousands of years later. Considering the characteristics of ancient Babylon and the people of the Tower of Babel is tremendously important as we study Babylon in Bible prophecy. In calling this end-time entity “Babylon”, John was directing the minds of his readers back to the Babylon of the Old Testament. Consideration of the Babylon of old will help us understand the Babylon ahead. And what makes this even more important is knowing that the Babylon of the book of Revelation and the antichrist beast of Bible prophecy are one and the same. 19
20 BABYLON RISING As we review some of the characteristics of ancient Babylon, here’s what we see: Ancient Babylon • Was in rebellion against God’s Word. • Relied on righteousness by works. • Indulged in self-exaltation. • Is characterized by confusion. • Was immersed in paganism. • Engaged in sun worship. • Believed in the immortality of the soul. • Practiced idolatry. It can be expected that modern Babylon will possess many of the same characteristics of ancient Babylon. That certain facets of the religion of old Babylon have bled over into many of today’s religious faiths should not come as a surprise. After all, Babylon is rising.
