Great Babylon & the Chaldean mindset

The Land of Confusion

Babylon means confusion. When a person is confused it is generally because they lack truth and so become fearful. Fear of the unknown brings about a sense of panic and anxiety leading to irrational decision making which can ultimately lead to chaos and destruction. Babylon the Great is mentioned throughout the book of Revelation, it can be understood as a kingdom but also a time of great confusion on the earth. See H0894.

Babylon, Babel comes from the word balal meaning to overflow, by implication to mix; also denominative from the word beliyl meaning mixed, specifically feed for cattle. When truth is mixed with lies, sense mixed with nonsense and then added to everyone's daily feed you will get confusion.

Spiritual Confusion

The Babylonians worshipped a pantheon of deities including the luminaries: sun, moon, stars, planets (the wandering stars) and the constellations whom they sought for guidance. They worshipped nature and animal spirits and they bowed down to and served idols that were figures and statues made of wood, stone, gold and silver. In short the Babylonian's worshipped the creation instead of the creator trusting in idols that could neither see, hear or eat, walk, talk or breathe.

Counsel of Confusion

In chapters 1 & 2 we read of Nebuchadnezzar's counsel consisted of magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, soothsayers and the Chaldeans who were considered the wiser of the wise men. Without going down too deep a rabbit hole the king was seeking advice from a mash up of international superstitious occultists who sought their counsel from channeling the spirit realm through the practice of astrology, witchcraft, sorcery and idol worship. Drugs and the administration of medication are a key part of sorcery, was the king being drugged? Willingly or unknowingly it may explain the kings short fuse and explosive temper that all feared. Add these components to a court of 'yes' men who bowed down and elevated the king to a god-like status and this feeding of the self or ego may have resulted in a tired, confused, paranoid and even deluded mind.

Mystery Babylon & the Mystery Schools

The Babylonian strategy was to take the best and brightest minds from all the nations that were conquered then assimilate them into the Babylonian mind set in order to advance the kingdom. The magicians (chartom) of Egypt, the sorcerers (kashaph) of the Canaanites, the conjurers/astrologers (ashshaph) of the Chaldeans... this collection of occult practitioners from different nations would lead us to suspect that the great Babylon may have been a vehicle for the Chaldeans to seek out lost and hidden knowledge. Witchcraft and sorcery was common in many of the ancient cultures both pre-flood and after. Captives taken to Babylon would have to learn the Chaldean language which would make lost knowledge easier to translate over to the Chaldeans.

Witchcraft and socrcery is a tool box of deceptive methods to control another person, group or nation. Methods include: lies, bribery, manipulation, coercion, blackmail, spying, secret socities, secret oaths, honey traps, demoralisation, drugs, medication, poisoning, gender confusion, threats, false flag events, terrorism and even manufactured wars to name but a few and probably the most effective methods that go under most people's radars in modern times being the hegalian dialectic, medicine and trauma based mind control. Basically the enemy will use whatever means to achieve their deterimined outcome. Everything we take for granted in society can be weaponised against us from religion, politics, finance, economics, education, news & entertainment, food production, healthcare to the weather and we should not be naive to Satan's devices.

He who controls the food controls the people

Since man acquired the knowledge of irrigation and the diversion of water it has made possible for the control of water and in turn food production. The digging of drainage systems and canals and the building of dams can be used for both good and bad with a society upstream gaining whilst another down stream losing their life source.
Babylon was once famous for it's hanging gardens and was considered one of the seven wonders of the world suggesting the Babylonians had a firm grasp on water management. In the 2nd dream of king Nebuchadnezzar his kingdom is depicted as a giant tree that fills the earth and all flesh was fed of it. Daniel 4:12.

He who controls the education controls the mind

When Daniel and his companions were taken captive they were subjected to being indoctrinated into the Chaldean ways. The method included learning the Chaldean language, told what to wear and what to eat and after three years they were to stand before the king and tested on their wisdom. If the students impressed the king they would then added to the his counsel of wise men (Magian, Magi). The assimilation of one culture into another has long time been a strategy of warfare with the stamping out of individualism or free thinking, the freedom of will to turn to and know the true kingdom of God being the prime target.

The origins of the builders

The king spoke, and said, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?" Daniel 4:30.

Social engineering, it's true purpose?

Babylon and the Chaldean ideology was all about dominion and controlling every aspect of mankind. We can trace it's origins back to antediluvian times with Cain being the first of the city builders. We read in Genesis 4:8-12 that when Cain slew his brother Abel the ground that opened her mouth to receive his brother's blood became cursed and when he would till the ground to grow food it would no longer yield to him her strength. It is reasonable to suggest that Cain would have needed to devise a plan in order to survive and what better way than to build a city and a place where people could commune, trade, a place of prosperity, a place with walls for "protection" and a 24/7 watch where Cain and his offspring could make the rules, be the middlemen and live off the blessings and productivity of others in return for "peace and security".

It's interesting that the Hebrew word for city ('iyr H5892) is the same as the Chaldean word for Watcher meaning 'guardian angel' (iyr H5894).
