    Babylon is an economic system with deep evil spiritual undertones, and the elements of Babylon are all around us in the forms of idolatry and excessive delicacies. We, as God's people, are called to come out of this rebellious system, obeying God.

    Jesus said, He will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. However inner turmoil and division by the saints to groups within the church can greatly hinder the mission of the church.
