Podcasts about Babylon

For Medieval Europe, the Apocalypse wasn't just a metaphor - it was very real and very imminent.We are talking about the four horsemen, locusts the size of horses, the beast of the abyss, the Whore of Babylon, and, obviously, the anti-christ.We're going to go through the medieval apocalypse blow-by-blow to see how this obsession with the end led to bizarre real-world cults like the Flagellants, who abandoned all norms for group sex in the woods.Our guest today is Dr Eleanor Janega, co-host of Gone Medieval with Matt Lewis.This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

The book of Daniel is an extraordinary account of a young Judean exile who receives interpretation and prophecy from the Lord while serving foreign kings. Of particular significance in today's passage is the statue that Nebuchadnezzar sees in a dream. The statue's head of gold represented Babylon; its silver chest and arms: the Medo-Persian empire; the bronze stomach and thighs: the Greek empire; the legs of iron: the kingdom of Rome; and the mixed clay and iron feet: a continuation of Rome in later times. Finally, the rock represents the kingdom of God in Christ, as it easily destroys the manmade statue, enduring forever and spreading throughout the earth.Daniel 1 - 1:11 . Daniel 2 - 4:43 . Daniel 3 - 16:19 . Isaiah 43:1-13 - 23:30 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Listen all the way to the end for a special musical feature about Sargon II. This episode explores one of the most pivotal and least understood turning points in Neo-Assyrian history, examining the rise of a king whose origins, motives, and very name remain contested even after a century of scholarship. These are the Oldest Stories, available at OldestStories.net.In 722 BCE, Sargon II seized the Assyrian throne and entered an eighteen-year reign that forms the best-documented era of ancient Mesopotamian history. Yet for all his inscriptions and annals, Sargon himself remains an enigma. His parentage, early career, accession, and the meaning of his throne name are questions that continue to challenge scholars of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. This episode delves deeply into the theories surrounding his origins, including newly translated inscriptions from Assur, shifting interpretations of his name from Sharru-Kenu to Sharru-Ukin, and the implications of his apparent disinterest in his own ancestry. From the ideological weight of throne names to the complexities of logosyllabic Akkadian spelling, we explore how philology, archaeology, and political history intersect to shape our understanding of this king.We also follow Sargon into the disastrous opening months of his reign: the unclear succession, the purge of thousands of internal opponents, the immediate loss of Babylon to Marduk-Apla-Iddina, the Levantine revolts, and the devastating defeat near Der at the hands of the Elamites. These events set the stage for a king on the brink of failure, navigating accusations of ill-omen, political chaos, and the danger of being overthrown before his first year had even ended. Yet they also reveal the moment in which Sargon's extraordinary administrative and logistical genius emerges, allowing him to rescue his reign and initiate the Sargonid Golden Age.Along the way, the episode examines the broader historical context of Chaldean and Elamite politics, Babylonian ritual ideology, the transformation of Assyrian year-dating from limmu officials to palu counts, and the evolving religious presentation of Assur's kingship. It traces the subtle theological and political shifts that distinguish Sargon from his predecessors, as well as the early strategic failures and last-minute decisions that determine the fate of the empire. The result is a comprehensive look at one of the most complex figures of the ancient Near East and the precarious moment at which Assyria's future hung in the balance.If you enjoy the episode, consider supporting the show on Patreon, becoming a YouTube member, or donating directly at OldestStories.net.

Episode 43 Doctrine and Covenants 133–134 – "Prepare Ye for the Coming of the Bridegroom" In this week's episode covering Doctrine and Covenants 133–134, I talk about preparing for the coming of the Bridegroom—fleeing Babylon, building Zion, and finding joy in doing God's work. From threshing wheat to sharing the gospel on an airplane, this episode reminds us that even the weak can do great things with God's help.

If the Doctrine and Covenants is the capstone of the Restoration, how does it conclude? It ends with a booming warning and an urgent political declaration. D&C 133 provides the final marching orders for the Church: prepare for Christ's return. Summary: In this episode, we analyze the urgent call to action in the Appendix (D&C 133) and the foundational principles of religious liberty (D&C 134). D&C 133: The Prophetic Appendix. This section is a restatement of the urgent warnings in D&C 1. The Lord commands the Saints to "prepare ye, prepare ye" and to "go ye out from Babylon" to avoid the destruction of the last days. This involves the call to "be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord." We explore the magnificent, yet terrifying, description of the Second Coming: Christ, "mighty to save," descending with "dyed garments"—red from having "trodden the wine-press alone"—a powerful symbol of both judgment and sacrificial love. The section concludes with the tender reassurance that "in all their afflictions he was afflicted." D&C 134: Church & State. Written in 1835, this declaration defines the Church's stance on civil governance, reflecting the persecution the Saints had endured. Government's Role: We believe governments are "instituted of God for the benefit of man" and should secure the "free exercise of conscience," property rights, and the protection of life. Freedom of Conscience: The central principle is clear: civil magistrates should "restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul." We advocate for a separation of Church and State, believing it is not right to "mingle religious influence with civil government" in a way that fosters one religion while suppressing another. Painful Compromises: We discuss the difficult historical context of verse 12, where the Church states it will "not interfere with bond-servants," revealing the painful compromises sometimes necessary in a fallen world to secure peace and the higher goal of preaching the gospel.

Warning to the Remnant: Stop Kicking Against the Goads & Learn to Run with the Horses (Jeremiah 12:5) | KIB 506 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this sobering Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 506), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share a prophetic warning for the remnant—and a deep call to spiritual maturity from Jeremiah 12:5. Mary Lou shares how the Lord interrupted her plans for a "pleasant" Feast of Dedication message and instead commanded her to sound the alarm: those who refuse to leave pagan practices—especially Christmas—will see their infirmities worsen and the enemy's attacks intensify. Dr. Lake then unpacks Jeremiah 12:5, "If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?" showing how God is using today's pressures to train the remnant to run with the horses of the Kingdom in the dangerous "thickets of the Jordan" in these last days. Along the way they discuss: The emotional "warm fuzzies" and childhood memories the enemy uses to keep believers tied to Christmas The occult, Masonic, and pagan roots of many modern Christmas traditions How commercialization, resonance, music, and nostalgia have been weaponized to keep God's people in bondage Why attacks often intensify when believers resist God's conviction and "kick against the goads" The rising beast system, AI, Nephilim technology, and Nazi/occult influence behind modern advancements How God is using small trials now to strengthen His remnant for greater pressure in the days ahead This is not a message of condemnation, but of warning, mercy, and preparation. God is calling His people to lay aside the stones of Babylon, come out of pagan mixture, and use this "footman season" to deepen prayer, holiness, and endurance—so we're ready to stand in the thickets of Jordan.

A new report from the Costs of War Project at Brown University found that without US weapons and money, totally $21-billion since 2023, Israel could not have waged any of its wars on Gaza, Iran, and Yemen. Brown University also reported in 2019 that Afghanistan and Iraq, along with Pakistan, cost the US $6.4 trillion, a number that is currently a drop in the bucket of a $38-trillion debt. And to whom is this owed? For their trouble US citizens have gotten a devalued currency, increasingly excessive costs of living, a lower quality of life, crime, drugs, house-lessness, and daily threats of terrorism. The current conditions so closely resemble the same in 1920s Berlin, though kept from the brink of collapse through an immense war machine, that people have began to assign blame on those that run the Banks and wars, i.e., Jews and Israelis. After seeing what Charlie Kirk said in private messages before his assassination, mainly that “Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes” - and seeing how powerful these Jewish billionaires are in influencing and directing the US government - people have begun to act like 1930s Germans. Israel is openly loosing support rapidly in the US. In Mexico, a Catholic country run by a cartel president named Sheinbaum, who happens to be cut from same cloth as the IDF, HIAS, and Israeli officials who respectively train the cartels, facilitate the human trafficking, and arm the cartels with American weapons, the citizens have also begun a rebellion. Is it organic or staged? Someone even spray painted “Puta Judia” on the Supreme Court building, indicating one of two things: Mexicans identify Jewish supremacy as the problem behind the cartels or Jews wrote the message to drum up more antisemitic talking points and censorship. Meanwhile, three billionaire Jews are trying to unseat one of the last standing members of Congress who has not pledged their soul to Israel. The accusations are always the same: suck the wealth and recourses from the country, and suck the life and livelihood from the people. Even Randy Fine says the Jews are close to being kicked out of the United States. Now that it is all out in the open, Benjamin Netanyahu has been recorded saying that Rome is the enemy and the US is the New Rome. As in Germany, when official policy and public sentiment identify Jews as the source of their problems the international Jews and their organizations, not exclusively though, then declared open war on Germany.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This week, Pastor Will turns to Deuteronomy 30:11–20 and invites us on a kind of “time travel” through Scripture—standing with Moses on the edge of the Promised Land, with the exiles in Babylon, and right here in our own mid-November moment. In a world of endless daily decisions and modern idols, we hear God's simple, challenging call to us as a community: choose life, together, and build a future of hope.Scripture references: Psalm 1:1-3; John 15:1-11; and Deuteronomy 30:11-20“WE CHOOSE PRAISE”  -- CCLI Song # 7238059  |  Dameon Aranda | David Wellman | Dustin Smith | Stephen Cole  |  © Acorns To Oaks Publishing; Bell Music Publishing; Life.Church Publishing Group; Remaining portion is unaffiliated  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Join us as we explore how Babylon wants your knee to bow, but only God can lift you up.Be encouraged as we explore how God's people are never alone, and why we can rest knowing that His kingdom will outlast every earthly power.

This week we're reading Jeremiah 29:1-14, a text so hopeful about the future that it is often found on t-shirts and graduation gifts. But while the passage is indeed hopeful—“I know the plans I have for you”—in the context of Jeremiah it is a certain kind of difficult hope: a hope that must first reckon with a tumultuous present reality that will not yield in your generation, or your children's generation, but only seventy years from now, when Babylon's time is up. So what then must we do in the meantime, until that hopeful day finally arrives? Build houses, plant gardens, have children. Seek the welfare of the community—the whole community, the Babylonian community—for only when it thrives can you survive until the day God's promises are finally realized.

We find ourselves living between two worlds—called to be holy while surrounded by pressure to conform. Through Daniel's story in Babylon, we discover that holiness isn't about retreating from culture or aggressively fighting against it, but about remaining faithful within it. Daniel was a teenager torn from his home, given a new name tied to false gods, and pressured to adopt Babylonian values. Yet he 'resolved' in advance who he would be. This wasn't about dietary rules—it was about loyalty to the one true God. The most powerful lesson here is that holiness begins before we face temptation. If we don't decide who we are before walking into our modern Babylon, the world will decide for us. Daniel teaches us three vital truths: holiness means staying distinct when pressure to conform is strong, holiness is possible because God's presence goes with us even into ungodly places, and holiness is about influence, not isolation. We're not called to hide our faith or weaponize it, but to live with such integrity that even unbelievers take notice. The beauty of the gospel is that Jesus already stood faithful in our place, trading our sin for His holiness. Holiness isn't earned through willpower—it's received through surrender, allowing God's Spirit to transform us from the inside out.Celebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

Ever catch yourself thinking, "Well, at least I'm doing okay" while people around you are struggling?King Hezekiah was a man of God who restored temple worship, removed idols, and trusted God through impossible threats. But when Isaiah prophesied that future generations would be taken captive to Babylon, Hezekiah's response revealed something deeply human: "At least there will be peace in my days." Translation? At least I'm good.This message confronts a quiet reality in many of our hearts—we'll fight for our own deliverance, weep over our own needs, but stay silent when it's someone else's crisis. Not because we're wicked, but because we're human. My family's eating well. My neighborhood is safe. I know Jesus. At least I'm good. But what happens when being good isn't good enough?

Revelations // 11-16-25

Nehemiah 5 records the actions of Nehemiah the prophet to remove the suffering of the poor whose lands and vineyards had been mortgaged and their children sold into slavery. Nehemiah holds a great assembly and challenges the rulers to forsake their iniquitous practices. And so, the congregation agrees to restore to their families the sons and daughters who had been enslaved. Also, fields and vineyards are returned to their original owners. Governor Nehemiah received no taxes from the people despite his entitlement to do so. Verses 14-19 outline the Governor's - Nehemiah's - generous provision from his table every day for 12 years out of his own pocket. Nehemiah calls upon God to witness his love and generosity to Yahweh's people. Chapter 6 speaks of the conspiracy against Nehemiah from the enemies surrounding Israel. These foes seek a meeting with the Governor in the open plain where they would attempt to assassinate him. Nehemiah refuses and tells them that he would not stop doing God's work. Four times they try this tactic. Next the adversaries come with an open letter spreading lies about Nehemiah. This also fails. The enemies claim Nehemiah wants to make himself king. The faithful Governor takes the letter and spreads it out before God and prays for God's help and support. The next tactic of Nehemiah's foes is to threaten assassination. This too fails to intimidate God's faithful servant and the work of building the walls continues. Nehemiah asks God to remember and deal with the enemies. And so, the wall is completed in 52 days, because the hand of the Almighty is with his people. One of the great lessons of these chapters is to remain focused on God's work and the building up of His family and to avoid any distractions that might arise.The prophet Joel speaks his message just before the four waves of Babylonian invasions on Judah and the deporting to Babylon of exiles from the Land on each of these incursions. The first of these happens under the king of Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar) in 606 BC. The final overthrow of the southern kingdom of Judah; with its capital Jerusalem, was in 587 BC. The invasion is described by the four stages of the locust - each stage more voracious in appetite than the previous stage. Verse 6 tells us that the devastation of God's land is due to one nation - Babylon. Notice the symbols of Israel are portrayed in the vine and the fig tree. These are consumed by Nebuchadnezzar. The virgin of Israel languishes due to her chastisement. Verses 13-20 tell of a call to repentance for the nation of Judah, will feel the wrath of the LORD in "the day of Yahweh" (a theme often repeated in this prophecy).Our final reading in 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us that the Scriptures provide graphic detail of the times (Greek 'chronos' which God has explicitly revealed through His Scriptures and particularly in His prophetic word) and that He has adjusted i.e. patterned the world's eras around His Son, the Christ (Hebrews 11verses1). Time in this chapter is made up of longer periods called "times" and shorter periods known as "seasons". The shorter seasons characterised by specific signs compel us to believe that our Lord's coming is imminent (Luke 21verses24-36). These signs urge us to watchfulness and to lives that are consistent with us being the children of the DAY. That is the day soon to dawn when the sun of righteousness will arise with healing (Malachi 4verses1). We are exhorted us to lives consistent with the character required of the children of our Father in verses 4-11. The chapter concludes with patterns of behaviour befitting the children of the kingdom (cp 2 Peter 3verses10-18).Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Revelation Series: These chapters emphasize that Babylon—both a worldly system and an influential city—represents humanity's attempt to thrive apart from God through immorality, wealth, and self-exaltation. Though this system seems powerful and long-standing, it is ultimately driven by evil, used by the Antichrist, and even betrayed by those who once benefited from it. Yet God remains sovereign over every part of the story, bringing sudden and total judgment on Babylon for its corruption, injustice, and exploitation. While the world mourns the loss of its wealth and comfort, heaven rejoices because God has defended His people and brought an end to the system that opposed Him. The message calls God's people to stay separate from the world's sin, trust that evil will not go unpunished, and remember that God's power far surpasses every earthly force.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                  

Scripture speaks of a woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, and on her forehead is written, “Mystery, Babylon the Great.” An angel explains to John that the woman “is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” Some believe that this is a picture of the rebuilding of the great city of Babylon.

In Jeremiah's day Jews had to learn how to live as exiles in Babylon. The New Testament refers to the baptized as citizens of heaven who also have to learn how to live as exiles in Babylon.

Mike Erre - This week we look at Jeremiah's famous letter to the exiles in Babylon. 

We continue in the "Babylon" Series from Daniel (2:25-49) with part 2 of the message titled "God Speaks Through Dreams", asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and apply it to our times. May it create in us a desire and ability to leverage our lives for Him, His Passion, His Glory and His Coming with joy and urgency!

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, November 16, 2025 Ye are holy unto the Lord Ezr 8:1-36 Remember from last week: Artaxerxes gave full support to the work Ezra is coming to Babylon to set things in order Ezra is part of a second group leaving Babylon for Jerusalem Ezr 8:1-13 lists the families that went up with Ezra in the second wave to Jerusalem. No Levites in the group (Ezr 8:15) is a big deal. Ezra, as a reminder, was a part of the Levitical priesthood. Neh 12:1-7 Levites alone had the responsibility of maintaining temple operations. All priests were Levites, but not all Levites were priests. Num 1:47-54 Deu... for full notes: http://www.lbible.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=1763

Daniel was trafficked into Babylon with one goal: to be reprogrammed, rebranded, and remade into something God never called him to be. Babylon wanted to strip him of covenant, dilute his convictions, and mold him into its image.But Daniel's life does something for us—something uncomfortable, but something necessary. It shuts down the excuse of “I'm just a product of my environment.” Daniel makes that excuse inadmissible in Heaven's court. Babylon was built to break him… and he still stood.Why… How? Because before he ever stepped foot in Babylon, he made a decision in his heart about who he belonged to. And that decision made him Babylon-Proof.Closing Song: Surrounded ( Fight My Battles ) by  UPPERROOMSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Babylon thought it could never fall — that its power and wealth would last forever. But Isaiah 46 and 47 remind us that pride always meets its match when it stands against God. Idols may crumble, kingdoms may collapse, but the One true God still carries His people. Let's get into it.As always be blessed and enjoy.Please follow, like, and share our podcast with a friend or family member!

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister tackle the phenomenon of fake outrage in Christian culture—using the reaction to Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl as a jumping-off point. With deep theological reflection and cultural insight, Nathan and Cameron explore why outrage has become a form of identity-building within the church and beyond, how scapegoating and virtue signaling distort genuine moral concern, and what it means for Christians to live wisely in a world shaped by Babylon and Vanity Fair. This thoughtful conversation challenges believers to pursue discernment, truth, and humility rather than reactionary culture wars. Perfect for Christians seeking intelligent, biblical discussions on faith, culture, and current events.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery "Call of the Day" with Ray from Babylon, who slams the Jets' "dummy mistakes" in their latest loss, pointing specifically to drops, bone-headed personal fouls, and a crucial dropped interception. The segment pivots when Mary from Long Island calls in, completely "blown away" by Sal's "Words of Wisdom" on the importance of "opportunity," prompting Sal to reveal the principle was a key lesson learned from Mike Francesa. The conversation wraps with James from Massapequa railing against the Jets' "gift of desperation" fan base and the hosts debating the sustainability of young star quarterbacks Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels. The guys argue that Maye's style is more durable, while also questioning the quickness of the MVP hype surrounding Maye and the volatility of draft day quarterback evaluations.

Revelation Series: Revelation 15 and 16 depict the completion of God's wrath through the final seven plagues, executed by seven angels. In heaven, those who overcame the beast worship God for His justice and power, declaring His righteousness and holiness. As each bowl of wrath is poured out on the earth, judgment falls upon those who followed the Antichrist — bringing sores, blood, scorching heat, darkness, and global chaos. Despite their suffering, people refuse to repent, revealing the hardness of sin's grip. The demonic trinity—Satan, the beast, and the false prophet—deceives the nations, gathering them for battle against God at Armageddon. The seventh bowl marks the climax: God proclaims, "It is finished," signaling the downfall of Babylon, the symbol of human rebellion and pride dating back to Babel. These judgments reveal that God's justice is true and that every seed sown against Him will ultimately reap its due reward.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                    

Formed in Cultural EngagementNovember 9, 2025 • Brad Raby • Romans 12:1–2, Daniel 1This Sunday, Brad Raby, Lead Pastor at Fellowship West, continued our fall series, More Like Him. Teaching on being formed in cultural engagement, Brad looks at Daniel's story to illustrate how God forms His people both in and for their cultural moment. Like Daniel and his friends in Babylon, believers today face a culture that subtly seeks to reshape identity, values, and loyalties—but spiritual formation in Christ enables resistance without fear or contempt. True resistance is rooted not in outrage but in devotion to God—living faithfully, practicing spiritual rhythms, and saying yes to God's presence again and again. Daniel's integrity, wisdom, and humility show that faithfulness and favor can coexist, influencing even hostile systems. Ultimately, Daniel points to Jesus—the greater exile—who entered our “Babylon,” embodying truth and grace, and now sends us into the world as people shaped by His Spirit for the good of our neighbors.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
