The Meaning of
the Year 2026 - Political Babylon
January 1, 2026 (Day 1): The meaning of the year 2026 is
Political Babylon. Political Babylon is a theological
term for one of three attributes of Satan's Cosmic System.
"Cosmic" is a transliteration of the Greek word kosmos,
meaning world. The Cosmic System is the system that Satan
uses for ruling the world. God is still Sovereign over all
Creation, but He allows Satan limited Sovereignty over the world
for the purpose of allowing Satan to defend himself and oppose
God in Satan's Appeal Trial. Satan wants to prove that he
can rule the world in the place of the Lord Jesus Christ.
God creates life, which includes more than just being alive,
eating and breathing and being healthy. Life includes
having relationships, a family, and support with food, clothing,
and shelter along with a friendly environment. Satan
cannot create life, but he has the power to alter the course of
life and to end it in death, with God's permission, under the
rules of the Appeal Trial. He lured the first man and
woman in the Garden of Eden into Spiritual death and the
sentence of physical death. Satan can bless people with
fame and fortune or curse them with pain, misery, and
ruin. Satan counterattacks the life that God created and
lures people into sin and death. People are pawns in
Satan's plan, and he regards death as the ultimate vote of
confidence that people had rather suffer with him in Hades than
live with God in Heaven.
This is the background for understanding Political Babylon,
which began in the Garden of Eden before the city of Babylon
even existed. Babylon is the Greek word for the Hebrew Babel,
which was a city-state, or kingdom, in the region of
Mesopotamia. However, Babel and the word Babylon
in the Bible was also used symbolically. Political is from
Latin politicus for citizens or a state.2
So Political Babylon refers to citizens (or people) in Satan's
kingdom of Babylon. Satan is the ruler of the world, and
all people on Earth are subject to him in some way.
Satan became the ruler of the world when he convinced man to sin
in the Garden. Adam and his wife, 'Ishah, were trichotomous creations of God
with body, soul, and human spirit. They were created
to be witnesses for the prosecution in the Appeal Trial to
demonstrate the Righteousness of God. They were
created in the image of God, unlike the prehistoric species
of man. They had no sin. They could sin in only
one way, by violating God's command not to eat of the fruit
of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If they
ate from that tree, dying spiritually, they would
die physically (Gen 2:16, 17).
In order to vindicate himself Satan needed to convince the
man and woman to sin against God and thereby choose death
over the life that God had created for them. So Satan
counterattacked the woman first. He indwelt the
serpent, who was the woman's favorite pet. He lured
the woman away from Adam and started a friendly conversation
with her. Satan was the most beautiful creature that
God ever created and could be quite charming. Satan
spoke through the serpent, and the woman thought the serpent
was talking. She didn't know about Satan and demons,
like most people today
The woman listened to Satan's lies and promises that she
could be like God and sit on his throne by eating the
forbidden fruit. In talking to Satan, the woman was
being socially unfaithful to her husband. To convince
the woman Satan changed the subject from the command of God
to the qualities of the fruit and what eating it could do
for her. The woman was convinced.
When 'Ishah
saw that the tree was good for food, that it was a
delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one
wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she
gave also to her husband by her, and he ate. (Genesis
3:6)
The woman was
overcome from all directions by the power of the Satanic
Counterattack. Although she had not yet sinned, she was
already hanging on Satan's every word and about to sin.
"'Ishah saw that the tree was
good for food." This was the counterattack of
Ecumenical Babylon from the X-axis of the Cosmic System of
Satan. "It was a delight to the
eyes." This was the counterattack of Political
Babylon from the Y-axis of the Cosmic System. "And the tree was to be desired to
make one wise." This was the counterattack of
Cosmic Babylon from the Z-axis of the Cosmic System. The
woman was lured by the power of Ecumenical, Political, and
Cosmic Babylon from the Cosmic System of Satan. This
verse was the perspective of the Holy Spirit in recognizing
the three parts of the Satanic counterattack on the
woman. The three axes correspond to the three axes of
the Trinity, "Faith, Hope (Justice, Sovereignty), and Love."
The woman ate of the forbidden fruit, and died
spiritually. She then turned into a Cosmic Evangelist
and picked the fruit and handed it to her husband Adam to eat.
Now, Adam was in the same predicament that his
wife had been. She appealed to his love for her to follow
her into sin. However, unlike the woman, Adam was not
seduced. He was not under the power of the Satanic
Counterattack. He was dealing with the woman in the Cosmic
System, who was empowered by Satan. He knew objectively
what was happening, but his personal love for the woman was
greater than his respect for the command of God. The power
of personal love drew Adam to his wife, who was Spiritually dead
in the darkness of the Cosmic System. The woman was in the
Cosmic System under the power of Satan and the spell of
Political Babylon. Adam knew what had happened. Yet,
he lacked the strength to obey God's authority and preserve the
authority over his wife. Adam used his volition to reject
the authority of God and obey his wife in sin. He also ate
of the fruit and died spiritually.
When the man and woman in the Garden sinned, they
fell into the Cosmic System of Satan. They no longer ruled
the world, and Satan became the new world ruler. As long
as the man and woman lived on Earth, they were subjects of
Satan. Satan also became the ruler of all the other life
forms on the Earth, including plants, animals, insects, and even
bacteria and pestilence.
Cosmic System
Counterattack
Satan counterattacks the life
of the believer in Christ to alter his course in life and take
him to his grave. Satan tempts to sin on one side and
attacks (makes war against) on the other side. Whether
tempting, luring, enticing or attacking in Spiritual Warfare,
Satan is the enemy of the Christian and out to destroy
him. This is in keeping with Satan's attempt to prove that
he can rule a person's life better than the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father, and the Holy Spirit. One of the most difficult
aspects of life is finding the New Spiritual Life and staying on
course. Satan is out to disrupt that process.
The two main protections against Satanic Counterattacks are the
Filling of the Spirit and the Divine Dynasphere. The
Filling of the Spirit is achieved by Rebound.
The Divine Dynasphere is a shield of protection around the
believer provided by the Grace of God. Grace Orientation
is necessary to keep from interfering with its operation.
Three elements of Satan's
Cosmic System are exposed by the Justice of the Holy
Spirit. They are Cosmic, Political, and Ecumenical
Babylon. However, the individual elements cannot be broken
out of the system. The number 26 may identify Political
Babylon, but Political Babylon is part of the Cosmic
System. It does not exist outside of the system. The
elements of the Cosmic System are like the elements of the fire
triangle, where heat is analogous to Political Babylon.
The fire doesn't burn unless all three elements (fuel, air, and
heat) are present (ref. Fire
Testing). Similarly power failures and the lights
going out may be associated with Political Babylon in the Cosmic
System.
For more complete explanation see Cosmic
System Counterattacks (Divine Dynasphere) and Cosmic System Counterattack (Emotion).
Examples of
Political Babylon
The year 2026 stands for
Political Babylon. It follows 2025, which was the year for
Sovereignty. Sovereignty belongs to God, but 2026 will be
a time for Satan to play God and demonstrate his ability to be
the sovereign king of the world. This will likely come
through Evil Kings, antichrists, and Prostitutes of
Babylon. For some ideas on what to expect some examples of
Political Babylon might be helpful. Searching for
Political Babylon in the references may help.
Some examples of Political Babylon are:
1. Demon
Attacks (Dealing with Demons in Grace) - Spiritual
Warfare, including attacks on the body.
2. Cosmic
Degeneracy (Scar Tissue of the Soul) - Political Babylon
is a cheap substitute for love of Right Man - Right Woman.
3. Moab; Lust (Balaam)
4. Daughters of Jerusalem (Shulamite Woman)
were Political Babylon.
5. Ahaziah's
Relatives (Four Generation Curse)
6. Pointing
with the Forefinger (Hands in Scripture)
7. Lust
of the Eyes (Colors in Scripture, ref. 1 Jn 2:15-16) -
Pink is the color for lust, but the verse is about separation
from the world.
8. Social
unfaithfulness (The Fall)
Eclipses
There will be four eclipses in
2026. Three of the four points of greatest eclipse will be
at the ends of the Earth in the Antarctic and Arctic. The
first eclipse will be a Total Solar Eclipse on February
17. The Noahic Flood began on the 17th of the 2nd month.
Conclusion
The meaning of the year 2026 is Political
Babylon. Political Babylon is a theological term for one of
the three main attributes of Satan's Cosmic System. The
Cosmic System is used by Satan to rule the world. Everyone
on Earth is subject to Satan, even Christians. Christians
don't worship Satan, but they are forced to live under his
dominion. Satan controls governments, commerce,
organizations, educational institutions, health care, and has
strong influence over families and social relationships. He
aims to control the lives of people and uses them before dumping
them and trying to send them to their grave.
Satan works through people today just as he did in the Garden when
he spoke through the serpent to lure the woman into sin and
death. Satan destroyed Job's life just as he did the lives
of Adam and his Right Woman. No one can escape Satan in this
life, but God has provided some protections to sustain people in
need. People don't have to suffer the same fate as Satan,
who is destined for the Lake of Fire. Salvation is freely
available for all who will believe in Jesus Christ.
Christians can learn Bible Doctrine and grow Spiritually so they
can withstand the attacks of Satan. The Filling of the Holy
Spirit protects the soul from sin, and the Divine Dynasphere
protects the life of the believer from the Cosmic System attacks
of Satan.
Christians who avail themselves of Bible Doctrine will be able to
handle the problems of life in the devil's world . They will
be witnesses for Christ against Satan and his Cosmic System.
They will be able to recognize the stratagems of Satan. They will
resist Political Babylon, and have fellowship with God. And
they will come to know the Love of Christ which goes beyond human
knowledge. And they will experience the power of the
Divine Dynasphere to protect them from Satan's attacks.
