Today's opinion
We live under a Babylonian pagan system
Here's why.
Nebuchadnezzar II was quite the empire-builder, jazzing up Babylon's scene with culture and grand buildings. But his rule wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. He kept things tight with forced labor, taxes, and strict rules, making life tough for those he conquered.
Back then, tribute payments were like the original "with strings attached" deal. Nowadays, it's like when a big-shot country gives aid to a smaller one, but there's always a catch—like they have to play ball with their politics or let them use their resources.
The legal system in Babylon wasn't exactly known for its leniency—harsh punishments and a strict social pecking order kept things in line and the bigwigs in power. Today's social hierarchy might not be as cut and dry, but it's still there, just in more subtle forms.
In today's world, where you start often decides where you end up. Folks from cushy backgrounds usually have smoother sailing, while others face more bumps along the way.
Where you study can shape your life. Fancy schools open doors, but getting in can feel like winning the lottery—especially if you're not from a well-off family.
Some folks have more sway in politics, keeping the status quo going strong. In democracies, not everyone's voice carries the same weight, leaving some groups shouting into the void.
Treating folks differently based on race, gender, or who they love keeps the hierarchy alive. It shows up everywhere, from job hunts to housing to healthcare.
Even though we've ditched the ancient rankings, inequality still calls the shots in today's world. Your path is often paved by your background and who you are, proving that hierarchies are still the name of the game. And there are individuals at the highest echelons, lurking in the shadows, manipulating systems, institutions, and politicians like puppets in a show.
Today, we're shackled by money and driven by our own base desires—greed, selfishness, lusts and vanity, you name it. They control our everything through a repeat Babylonian system, to enrich themselves and give them ultimate control: our water, food, air, sexuality, children, our minds (soul) and even movements.. We think we're free, but we're just slaves to a messed-up system run by a handful of man-gods.
The ancient Babylonian culture was polytheistic, and it's likely that Nebuchadnezzar, like many rulers of his time, would have participated in religious ceremonies and rituals associated with the Babylonian pantheon.
The Babylonian pantheon was diverse, with several deities worshipped by the ancient Babylonians. Some of the key gods and goddesses included Marduk, the chief god associated with justice and magic; Ishtar, the goddess of love and war; Nabu, the god of wisdom and writing; Sin, the god of the moon; Shamash, the god of the sun and justice; and Ea (also known as Enki), the god of wisdom and freshwater.
It's an intriguing thought that those in positions of authority might still be influenced by the same ancient deities. The crescent moon is a common symbol found on the flags of several countries, but it is most prominently associated with the flags of Islamic nations, including Turkey, Pakistan, Algeria, Tunisia, and Malaysia. Sun worship appears within the Christian church through the presence of Catholic symbols and stained glass windows, even hiding in plain sight on robes as demonstrated in previous posts. The six-sided star, commonly known as the Seal of Solomon, featured prominently on the Israeli flag, came to represent Jewish identity, especially after it was prominently featured on the flag of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century.
Today, dominating our minds is the ultimate means of control, mainly by instilling fear. Anyone daring to think independently, challenging this artificial pagan system, and embracing Christ is labelled as unstable or wicked. Those who abstain from indulging in vices like excessive drinking, pornography, drugs, theft, and remain faithful to their spouse, are treated as "uncool" adversaries.
Whilst deliberately orchestrated wars manipulate the economy and reduce the global population the cycle is sustained by weapons and money within this very system.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't always like this. I used to be the woman craving the fancy car, nice house, stylish clothes, always striving to look flawless. I was driven by the hunger for success, a fit body, and a pleasing appearance, but to please whom exactly?
As I lay on my deathbed, I experienced an awakening—a voice softly uttered, "The truth will set you free." At that moment, I had no prior knowledge of this phrase or its origin.
The sinister nature of this pagan society only becomes clear when you're able to step back and analyse it from a place of freedom. However the rules keep changing, and by the time you retire closer to seventy, you'll be dealing with a whole range of pressures, from financial struggles to health issues, making it harder to make sense of it all.
But remember in politics, there are no factions— they all answer to the same masters.
So, I decided to ditch Facebook, with its cunning advertising tactics and the risk of inadvertently sharing personal information with the wrong people. It's concerning how easily photos and names can end up in the wrong hands.
Why surrender more control to those spineless cowards hiding in the shadows?
It's essential to retain some autonomy over our lives and safeguard our privacy.
It's also deeply troubling how sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church has become almost normalised in some respects. It's now "There goes another one!" and raises valid questions about whether there are more sinister forces at play behind the scenes. The widespread nature of these abuses and the apparent failure of the church hierarchy to adequately address them certainly warrant further scrutiny and reflection.
Investigations have uncovered thousands of instances of abuse by clergy members. Despite efforts to quantify the issue through studies and investigations, precise figures may vary depending on the source and methodology used for data collection.
So they've even got that covered (up) too.
Back in ancient Babylon, child sacrifices were part of their religious scene. They believed offering children to the gods would bring them favors like fertility or protection. The methods varied—and too gruesome to mention here. It was a satanic practice, done during tough times or to mark big events like building projects or new rulers taking charge. It's a chilling reminder of how beliefs can lead to unimaginable acts.
This sinister system only loses its power when we realise that we weren't meant to live this way.
As God would say, "Get out of her, my people." Revelation 18:4
But on a lighter note I'm with this guy:
