The Age-Old Empire

Imperial hubris is the legacy of the Tower of Babel incident, humanity’s first but not last attempt to build the Dragon’s great World Empire.

Human history is dominated by tyrants and empires determined to subjugate nations and populations.  This plan has been underway since time immemorial. It will reach its climax shortly before Christ’s return when Satan gathers his earthly forces in his final attempt to annihilate the saints of God. It will be the final act of the war between the World Empire and the Kingdom of God.

Allegiance to whom?

In the Book of Revelation, every man must choose between loyalty to the Beast from the Sea or the sacrificial Lamb. Discussions on the “Mark of the Beast” focus on the significance of its Number, ‘666.’ We wish to understand it, and thereby avoid taking it. However, to appreciate the ramifications of taking its “Mark,” we must understand that the Book of Revelation contrasts the “Mark of the Beast” with the “Seal of God.”

Jezebel's Siren Song

Human society and institutions are part of Babylon’s domain, but God is summoning His children to separate from her. Scripture teaches the followers of Jesus to live as people who are distinct from the world. Not physically, but morally and spiritually separate from the “forms” and ideologies of the present evil age. They are to be “in the world but not of it.” Their mission is to call other men and women to “save themselves from this crooked generation” before Jesus arrives in glory and judges the world.
