The spirit of Nimrod, “The mighty hunter”, is still at work to create a united people upon the earth, evident by the fact that there is a concerted effort to create a single world government, economy and religious system. In Biblical times, Nimrod’s creation of the tower of Babel, A Ziggurat, designed to worship the Hosts of Heaven, represented the first globalist aspirations. He was the prototype of a rebellious people, his name being interpreted as, “He who made all the people rebellious against God.”  He subverted the established religious system and established domination through war. The Word Babylon means “Gate of God” and has become synonymous with mystery religion.

Early Judeaism assimilated elements of Babylonian culture during the  400 year period of captivity which ended in the sixth century BC. These practices as well as other aspects of pagan and occult thought were to surface in the form of Jewish mysticism known as Merkabah. This practice morphed into what is now known as Kabbalah at around the tenth century A.D. The time of the crusades saw the rise of the heretical Templars, of which many were elites  from the Cathar communities of southern France, an area in which gnosticism had taken hold through the disbursement of some influential Jewish families who had fled from persecution by the church in the previous centuries. The Templars were already well acquainted with mystical practices but the crusades were to furnish them with the means to consolidate their power. They amassed incredible wealth and thereby were able to spread their form of Christian Mysticism across Europe and beyond. The Templars disappeared after their fraternity was outlawed by a Papal Bull, charging them with heresy. Much of their wealth and influence simply dispersed into the existing nobility of Europe but it would be seen to re-emerge within the structure of the masonic brotherhood.

Kabbalah has, since the tenth century. been practiced as a secretive sect of Judaism, sometimes gaining in popularity, sometimes forced underground. It is approximated that half of the worlds Jewry  became followers of False messiah and Kabbalist, Shabbetei Sevi. (d.1676) Sevi converted to Islam after travelling to Turkey and sent shock waves around the Jewish world. Despite this apostasy, many of his followers did likewise, and the movement became known as “Donmeh”, meaning, to convert. His successor was Jacob Frank who, with a group of his followers, was baptised as a Christian after he was able to convince the Church that Talmudic Judaism was not incompatible with Christianity. After travelling through eastern Europe, Jacob Frank eventually settled in Frankfurt and it is speculated that Frankism had an influence of some of the Jewish families that were later to become significant in the field of international finance. Both Sevi and Frank practiced sexual antinomianism  in accordance with the Kabbalistic belief that sin would reveal the glory of God. This breaking of sexual taboos is common in other forms of western occultism most noticeably witchcraft and Satanism such as that practiced by Alistair Crowley. Donmeh’s embracing of all of the three great faiths makes, it a prime candidate for adoption as a global religion.

Of course Kabbalah is not unique as a vehicle for esoteric knowledge to be passed down to initiates, it is however significant, in that it has had such a profound influence upon western civilisation. Such beliefs as well as the practice of esoteric disciplines such as alchemy and Rosicrucianism, were  considered normal for the enlightened members of Europe’s academic institutions and by the end of the age of reason, the arena of scientific enquiry had provided  a legitimacy for the gnostic beliefs and occult practices of the past. This intellectual revolution further gave rise to post-modernism and the theories of famous psycho-anylists and kabbalist sympathisers Freud and Jung who’s principles regarding the nature of human identity are entirely deceptive. Further, we embraced the highly dangerous concept of relativism with it’s rejection of absolute truth, and humanism which is probably the greatest enemy of orthodox Christian doctrine today.

Despite the diversity of the isms and schisms that have been used as vehicles to transport gnostic doctrine through the ages, they remain united in their deception. It is the same lie that caused the first man to fall from Gods grace, “and ye shall be as gods” Gen 3:5.  Today the same type of people use the same techniques to achieve the same objectives as they did in the days of Nimrod, the creation of a world that is entirely devoted to the worship of Satan and his host of fallen spirit beings.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Rev 18:2

Truth can only be found through the person of Jesus Christ and by His Holy Spirit who is the benchmark for truth. The Bible tells us that the whole world is controlled by the evil one. (1Jn 5:9) Do not be drawn into the trap of worshipping the host of heaven as did the rebellious people of Israel who’s punishment meant years of captivity. Thank God that because of His love for us, the veil is broken and we have Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth and the life. Hallelujah.
