A Section of the Folding Garden in the New Tower of Babel

It bodes very ill for Christians that Satan’s plans are reaching their apex as we approach the end of
this age. In the book of Daniel we read of the persecution of the saints of Yahweh who were carried
as captives into Babylon. The three friends of Daniel; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Hebrew
names Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah), were commanded to bow down and worship the idolatrous
image constructed by King Nebuchadnezzar. When they refused, they were cast into a fiery furnace.
Similarly, when a law was enacted that forbid anyone in the kingdom of Babylon to pray to anyone
other than the king, Daniel was arrested, charged with illegal actions, and cast into a den of lions.
These things are recorded as types revealing the experiences that will befall the saints of God in this
last hour as Babylon encompasses the entire earth.

For those who have eyes to see, it is impossible to miss the very evident signs of Babylon’s growing
ascendancy. In 1993 the Maastricht Treaty formed the European UNION which now consists of 28
member states. The legislative body for the European Union convenes at the EU Parliament building
in Strasbourg, France. This building was designed to resemble the painting of the Tower of Babel
created by Pieter Brueghel in 1563.

The relationship between the formation of the European Union and Satan’s plan to complete the
building of Babel that was begun four millennia ago, is observed in a poster published by the
European Union.
