Babylon's Downfall: The Epic Collapse of Evil and the Dawn of God's Reign
The world seems to be in turmoil with wars, natural disasters, pandemics, and moral decline. However, there's a message of hope in the midst of chaos. As we look at the Bible, particularly the book of Daniel, we see a prophetic vision of a stone that would destroy the statue representing the world's kingdoms. This stone is symbolic of God's kingdom, which will replace the corrupt systems of the world.
Prophecy is not about an anti-Christ, but rather about the rise of God's kingdom on earth. Futurism may suggest that we simply wait for the rapture and leave the world to its doom. However, God's plan is to establish the fifth kingdom, the kingdom of God, which will overthrow the worldly system.
This stone represents the Abrahamic family that grows and eventually smashes the statue at its feet. Jesus Christ is the one who will lead this kingdom, with all other powers beneath Him. We must focus on the glory of Jesus Christ and not be consumed by the wickedness of the world.
In the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, Peter, James, and John witness His glory. Similarly, we must fix our eyes on Jesus and be surrounded by the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews Chapter 11. These heroes of faith inspire us to persevere in our race, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
The book of Revelation also provides a God's-eye view of the world. It shows us that Jesus has won the victory on the cross and will eventually execute the fullness of His victory on earth. The Lamb of God is on our side, and we cannot be defeated if we follow Him.
Judgment may come to America and the world, but Jesus knows His people and will watch over them. The Book of Revelation speaks of Babylon's fall, and we can take heart in knowing that the wicked systems will eventually crumble. We are called to come out of the corrupt religious systems and follow Jesus.
Ultimately, we can choose to focus on the negative or the positive. The Book of Revelation reveals a new heaven and a new earth, the holy city of New Jerusalem coming down from God, where He will dwell with His people. This is the glorious future that awaits us when Jesus returns.
A songwriter penned these hopeful words: "I want to see Israel marching. I want to hear that kingdom call. I want to see Zion's mountain. I want to see Great Babylon fall. I want to see Jesus raining upon King David's royal throne. Or won't that be a glorious sight to see when Israel comes marching home?" This message of hope is what we need to hold onto as we face the trials of this world, knowing that Jesus Christ, our prophet, priest, and king, is coming again.
