It's amazing to think about how knowledge from ancient Babylon influenced Greek thought and laid the groundwork for Western science and philosophy. The Babylonians were ahead of their time in astronomy and math. When Alexander the Great conquered Babylon, Greeks tapped into this knowledge, blending it with their own ideas. This exchange of knowledge flowed from Babylon to Greece, then to Rome, and eventually into modern Western thinking, continuing to shape how we understand the world today. A great example of this influence is how the Library of Congress reflects Greek Classical ideals as a modern-day temple of knowledge. The Library of Congress, especially the Thomas Jefferson Building, strongly reflects Greek influence with its Corinthian columns and dome, showcasing classical architecture. The dome, topped with a torch representing the light of knowledge, emphasizes the building's focus on symmetry and traditional Greek and Roman styles.  Below, the Court of Neptune Founta...

As I wandered through the British Museum, surrounded by the remnants of ancient empires. When we think of these ancient powers, names like Rome, Greece, Persia, Babylon, and Assyria come to mind. Among them, Assyria is the oldest, and I was particularly struck by the records and artifacts from this empire. The Assyrians were known for their brutal rule, and the evidence of their cruelty is almost overwhelming. Today, the Assyrian Empire has all but vanished, its glory and fearsome reputation reduced to museum displays. It's surprising how many people may not even be aware that it once existed.

This makes it harder to imagine what life under Babylonian rule was truly like. Yet, unlike Assyria, Babylon doesn’t need records to leave a lasting impression—we see Babylon’s influence all around us, even today. The Monument o...

SON: Do you notice how many senseless crimes are happening every day? MOM: The world today does feel more chaotic and intense, reflecting a growing madness in humanity. Don’t be fooled into thinking things are getting better. Lawlessness is already at work, and before the Lord’s return, things will get worse. But remember, He is coming, and nothing can stop that. Even if many of us pass away before that day, His promise remains: He will be victorious, defeating darkness, and raising us up with Him. Right now, the world is set for the ultimate apostasy, where many will turn to worship the man of lawlessness once God removes the restraining power of the Holy Spirit. Those who have rejected the truth will be led astray, believing falsehoods. If we look at history, we are closer to the end times than to the beginning of the church. The Bible warns us that in the final days, “evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). People will ...
