The spiritual impact of Babel
This article will focus on a very specific incident in the Scriptures – The tower of Babel. Most people recall this piece of text only for the effect that it had, the creation of multiple languages and the separation of the nations. There was actually a lot more to this, if we look at this incident from a spiritual point of view. In this article we will study the other side of this piece of Scripture and reveal a lot more than normally meets the eye.

How the spiritual realm influences us
This is the second of a series of articles about the spiritual realm and its influence on us. This may seem a strange topic especially for us Torah-observant believers in Y’shua. It is a topic that is often ignored or not much talked about, especially in this movement. When YHVH revealed the truth to us that His law has not been done away with and that all His commandments were still valid, basically that we have been lied to all our lives, we put all things identified with Christianity aside. For many years, we focused on learning how to keep YHVH’s commandments, while unlearning all the ingrained untruths. However, we believe that YHVH is guiding us to learn more about the spiritual realm especially how we can be influenced by it and how to deal with it when we are. This will become even more important as things progress toward the second coming of Messiah Y’shua. The world is immersed in darkness and we as believers must know how to navigate through it in order to live effective lives. This is a daily battle and we are to be properly equipped. We will otherwise be defeated or distracted so much that we will not be able to do what we are here to do.

An introduction to the spiritual realm
Although we all talk about the physical and the spiritual worlds, very few have done a study on this topic. The result is that we all walk around with different views of this spiritual dimension. Most of us do acknowledge the existence of a spiritual world. This is where the common agreement stops. If we believe that some of our problems originate in the spiritual realm, we need to get a good understanding of what this truly means.

Mind control and fear
Modern media have made it possible for us to be “involved” in multiple wars, while at the same time know of every brutal murder, robbery or shooting that has taken place and in every graphic detail. The question is, do we really have to know so much detail? What purpose does it serve? What is the agenda behind this? The other question is: how much of this is really true and how much is manipulated? Then you have all the conspiracy theories on the internet… We are influenced by all this without realizing it. We are willingly submitting to whatever agenda is promoted. Fear is often used as a means to control. How are we to deal with this? We have studied the Scriptures to find out how we are to deal with this and share our findings in this article. May it bless and help you!

The Vision of Slaughter….Turn from your wicked ways and live!
We just witnessed the opening of another Olympic games. It reminded me of Pompeii in the Roman times. We recently went to the town and saw, among the well-preserved ruins, the layout of the arena. The guide told us how they had special rooms for the “athletes†just outside the arena where they could go after the games to indulge every lust. It is no different in our time! The organizers have ordered 100 000 condoms just for the use of the athletes in the Olympic village. The number exceeds what they ordered for the previous games with 30 000. Immorality is the norm and growing in popularity. Idolatry is another similarity between the Olympic games and Pompeii; proof to this is the many ruins of temples to pagan deities. They worshiped a variety of idols, but now only ruins of that wicked city remain as a reminder to us. Their end was complete! It is the same in our time; idolatry is the norm. People can’t talk enough about how spectacular the opening ceremony was. This ceremony was pure evil and loaded with Illuminati and occult symbolism; this is nothing else than idolatry. The Olympic stadium was an altar for satan; it was all done in honor of him. This relates very well with a passage in Ezekiel, “The vision of slaughter….”
