Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Well said!!!I think this thread has only one entry because you hit the nail on the head and not much more can be said! We are not to store treasures on this earth, but our treasure that we should be looking for is our richness of our souls through God's words. Seeking 1st the kingdom of heaven. God promises that we will have what we need in life and not to worry about material things, but that has been twisted to believe that God is going to pour richess into our lives that are material! Rubbish!!! Our hearts shouldn't be looking to this earth for our riches, but to the richness of our souls towards God. |

It is certaianly a monument and statement of pride that's for sure.However, I think that the Tower of Babel was more about that pride being a coming together of ALL peoples in a common cause against God's authority on earth. I think the building of the European Union, which involves the coming together of more nations than ever before to build a society 'Not' based on the acceptance of God's laws and teachings, infact a deliberate attempt to reject them, and 'Making things difficult' for those who want to hold fast to Gods laws' is so very much a 'new Babel'!!! Mystery Babelon, the spirit of rebellion at it's fullest is coming and I'm sure eventually the EU's boundries will spead global as it asserts it's authority once built. The difference between a european empire and a US empire, is that Europe has proved in the past and again now, that it is built on a history of dictatorships, facistism and communism at its core, and that stands today, which is why the UK has found it hard to become a full member and held back. However, they will! Because; 'they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?' |

This is a massive sign of the times to me. We are living in a period where there is no more absolutes allowed. No sin or rightousness allowed. No wrong or right allowed. We are no longer allowed to say that homosexuality is wrong, it's just a life style choice. Increasingly in the UK we are under preasure to give up claiming that Christ is the only way! They want us to say He is 'A' way! And some of that pressure comes from the state church!God knew this time would come; The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Soon we will be purescuted for holding onto the truth. We (officially) won't be legally allowed to claim that Jesus is the only way to God, or that sins like homosexuality is immoral; 4I£ must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. |
