    "Babylon" adapts itself to every age, even creates the age, and moves easily from its ancient beginnings to world empires. We travel all the way to the Book of Daniel, Biblically, in this segment.

    3: ENTER THE PATRIARCHS We are not totally aware of what Satan knew and didn't know, and how he planned his counter-attack on the design of God. But if God revealed to Adam that the "seed of a woman" will bruise the "head of the serpent" (Genesis 3:14-15), is there any doubt that Satan has a ...read more
