Babel was not merely a failed construction project—it was the birthplace of a hidden religion that has shaped the course of history and still exerts its influence today. To grasp why God’s wrath is set against “Mystery Babylon,” we must confront the core of its deception: the Luciferic secret.
The Luciferic Secret: Reversing the Story
At the heart of the mystery religion that began at Babel lies a perverse retelling of the fall. In this narrative, the roles are inverted: Jehovah is cast as the oppressor, the one who would keep humanity in bondage and ignorance. Lucifer—the Serpent—is exalted as the liberator, the “light bearer,” the so-called true god who offers forbidden knowledge as the key to man’s deification.
This is not a minor distortion; it is the foundation of all occult religion. The Serpent’s promise—that man could become “like God” by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—was not simply a lie, but the seed of rebellion that set humanity on a path of self-deification and opposition to God’s redemptive plan. The occult celebrates this “enlightenment” as mankind’s first step toward realizing its divine potential, while Scripture calls it the very root of our ruin.
The Seed of the Serpent vs. the Seed of the Woman
The mystery religion does not stop at a corrupted view of knowledge. It claims that through a chosen bloodline—the “seed of Satan”—Lucifer’s kingdom will be established on earth, culminating in the rise of antichrist. This is the direct antithesis of God’s promise in Genesis 3:15:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
Here, God Himself declares perpetual conflict between the seed of the woman (Christ) and the seed of the serpent. The entire history of redemption is the outworking of this enmity—a cosmic struggle between God’s revealed purpose and Satan’s counterfeit kingdom. The outcome is not in doubt: Christ, the true Seed, will crush the serpent’s head. This is the axis on which all of history turns.
The Hidden Priesthood and Their Symbols
When God scattered the nations at Babel, the Luciferic secret did not disappear. Instead, it was preserved by a priesthood of initiates—stewards of the mysteries—who encoded their doctrines in symbols. These symbols are not harmless relics; they are monuments to the ongoing rebellion against God and can be found embedded in the political, religious, and economic institutions of every major world empire, including our own.
Consider just a few of these enduring symbols:
- The Ziggurat or Pyramid: A model of the original tower of Babel, representing man’s attempt to duplicate Satan’s ambition—to exalt himself above God and establish a rival kingdom.
- The All-Seeing Eye: Often depicted above an unfinished pyramid, this symbol proclaims that Satan’s plan will reach completion when mankind is fully initiated into the Luciferic vision.
- Sun and Serpent Motifs: Both are worshipped in the mystery religions, signifying the Serpent as the “enlightener” and Nimrod’s association with the dragon and the sun.
- The Mother-Child: Not Mary and Jesus, but Semiramis and Tammuz—a counterfeit messiah, a blasphemous parody of the promised Redeemer.
These are not isolated curiosities. They are the signature of a spiritual agenda that has infiltrated every empire since Babel, always working to enthrone the serpent’s seed and subvert the destiny of the earth.
Only Two Religions
Strip away the surface differences, and you will find that there are only two religions in the world. One is the faith revealed by God in the 66 books of Scripture: the true history of the fall, the promise of redemption, the coming of the Seed of the woman, and the people set apart by covenant to receive His victory.
The other is the occult mystery religion, whose stewards claim secret knowledge from fallen angels. They labor to prepare humanity for a final Luciferic initiation—a counterfeit kingdom, a false enlightenment, and ultimately, the rise of antichrist. Their knowledge is hidden, their symbols are everywhere, and their influence saturates the corridors of power.
What Is Lost If This Error Is Accepted
If you accept the Luciferic inversion—if you see the Serpent as liberator and God as oppressor—you forfeit the very foundation of justification, sonship, and inheritance. You trade the finished work of Christ for a counterfeit promise of self-deification. The distinction between covenantal promise and human striving is erased, and the conscience is left uncleansed, enslaved to a system that can never deliver what it promises. To embrace the mystery religion is to reject the only means by which the serpent’s head is crushed and God’s victory is secured.
The Real Story of History
Secular historians may reduce history to a succession of empires and the march of human progress, but Scripture unmasks the true conflict: a war between God’s redemptive plan and Satan’s relentless schemes. God called Abraham and his descendants out of the world, separating them from Babylon’s influence, to be a people for Himself. This separation is not optional; it is the very means by which God preserves His promise and brings forth the Seed who will triumph.
Satan’s chief strategy has always been to infiltrate God’s people with the mysteries of Babylon, to subvert faith and destiny from within. But the outcome is not in question. The victory belongs to Christ, and those who are in Him are set apart from the world’s counterfeit religion.
Let the symbols of Babylon parade through the halls of power—they are monuments to a kingdom already judged. The only true liberation is found in the revelation of God, the finished work of Christ, and the inheritance secured by the Seed of the woman. Anything less is not another path; it is the old lie repackaged, and it leads only to ruin.
