The Spirit Behind the Systems: From Babel to COVID -19 ([C]ertificate [O]f [V]accination [I.D.] [1-A]rtificial [9-I]ntelligence)
History, when viewed through a spiritual lens, reveals more than a sequence of wars, treaties, and technologies. It reveals a pattern—a shadow—a continuity of control, deception, and rebellion against the purposes of God. From the tower of Babel to the digital surveillance states emerging under the guise of public health, there is a spirit behind the systems. It is not merely political or economic. It is spiritual.
I. Babel: The Birth of Global Control
In Genesis 11, humanity unites in defiance of God:
"Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens... lest we be dispersed."
This is the first recorded instance of globalism: one language, one culture, one goal. But it was driven by pride and rebellion. God scattered them, not because of architecture, but because of spiritual arrogance. The spirit of Babel is one of consolidation without submission to God.
II. The Babylonian System in Scripture
Babylon reemerges in Scripture as a symbol of:
Idolatry (Jeremiah 50),
Luxury and oppression (Revelation 18),
Religious corruption (Revelation 17).
The prophets, Jesus, and the apostles all identified Babylon not merely as a city, but a spiritual force that transcends borders and empires. It mutates but does not die.
III. Historical Timeline: Spiritual Manipulation Through Empires
| Era / Empire | Spiritual Character |
|---|---|
| Babel (Genesis 11) | Pride, centralization, rebellion against God |
| Egypt (Exodus 1–12) | Enslavement of God's people, occult priesthood |
| Babylon (Daniel, Jeremiah) | Imperial idolatry, forced assimilation |
| Greece (Daniel 8) | Intellectual pride, humanism, philosophical corruption |
| Rome (New Testament) | Religious syncretism, persecution of true believers |
| Medieval Papacy | State-church fusion, suppression of Scripture |
| Enlightenment Empires | Deism, colonialism, scientism |
| 20th Century Totalitarianism | Atheistic state worship (Nazism, Communism) |
| Technocracy (Today) | Surveillance, bio-power, censorship under the guise of care |
IV. Naomi Wolf and the Spiritual Recognition of Deception
Naomi Wolf, once firmly secular, has publicly acknowledged what many sensed during the COVID era:
"It feels as if there is a supernatural force of evil at work... it was engineered, it is too coordinated."
Wolf's insight echoes Ephesians 6:12:
"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities..."
Whether she knows it or not, she is describing Babylon reborn — a system so synchronized it cannot be explained by human conspiracies alone.
V. Revelation’s Warning and Hope
John's apocalypse does not end with Babylon's dominance, but with its destruction:
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!" (Revelation 18:2)
God calls His people:
"Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins" (Rev 18:4).
Our response is not panic, but purity. Our posture is not fear, but faith. Our alignment is not with the systems of this world, but with the kingdom that cannot be shaken.
From Babel to COVID, the spirit behind the systems has remained remarkably consistent. It resists truth, consolidates power, and seduces through fear and false unity. But God is not silent. He is calling His people to discern, to separate, and to stand. The remnant always survives Babylon—because their citizenship is elsewhere.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." (2 Corinthians 3:17)
Nevertheless beware AI and Neural Link. Good when used for good. Evil when used for evil.
Keep in touch.
