What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
I am not advocating that we roll over but it is clear in Biblical prophecy who dominates in our battle against the lying, cheating, manipulating, power mongering, progressive liberal, championing sodomy and moral decay as a way of life, and their progressive socialism as a new world order. Babylon, meaning confusion, raises her seven heads and ten horns in Genesis 11, right after the world flood. She carries the scattered Gentile nations of this world as a vast river flowing through time, while Genesis 12 through Matthew 12 traces only a tiny creek of chosen people called Israel. God uses this rill to show that the LORD our God is one God, to show the great advantage of serving our God, to provide the oracles of God, and to bring His Messiah, His Anointed One, the Christ, the only Begotten Son of God (Psalm 2:2,7) into this world. In this rill is found the Dispensation of Promise, and Law. In the mean time, the larger river of mankind continues in “babylon” with only the Dispensation of Conscience and Human Government to keep her on course. After Matthew 12, when Christ turns his attention from Israel to offer himself as the Saviour of the whole world, all enter into the Dispensation of Grace (Eph 1:10, 3:2). The river Babylon then births from the Roman beast, Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlots (Rev 17). It behooves the Bible believer to keep this larger picture in mind. That is why God laid out Revelation 17 and 18 for us to read. Some are inclined to march on DC and battle the beast, but it is above my pay-grade, battling Babylon; I am instead commissioned to preach the gospel to every creature. “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?”
