Introduction

The first thing I would like to bring to your attention is about a certain place. Let’s look at two verses.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12 KJVS)

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” (Colossians 1:16 KJVS)

Have you ever considered where Satan lives? Does he and his angels float around in some empty void or do they have a place to dwell. In the above verses I think we can see that there is a place that Satan dwells. Not only that, I believe we can know the name of His kingdom. It is called Babylon. Why do I say this. Look at a few more verses.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33; James 3:16 KJVS)

“The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.” (Isaiah 24:10 KJVS)

The name Babylon comes from the word Babel which means confusion. What a perfect name for Satan’s kingdom. We know that he is the ruler of Babylon, because while Isaiah speaks about Nebuchadrezzar as the King of Babylon he reveals a greater hidden kingdom of which the earthly Babylon in under control

“That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon… How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.” (Isaiah 14:4a,13-15 KJVS)

Just as God’s kingdom is called Zion, Satan’s kingdom is called Babylon and these two kingdoms are at war with each other. If you are a careful reader of the prophet you will see the little glimpse into Babylon through the nations it controls.
