The influence of Babylon, a worldwide system, permeates through communication, embedding beliefs, values, and practices into our lives from childhood. This communication, often absorbed without resistance, shapes our attitudes and character through the five senses and various forms of instruction in homes, schools, and communities. Much of this influence originates from satan, who, as the god of this world, has deceived humanity, communicating evil through unseen and immaterial means. Communication from spirit beings, whether from God or satan and his demons, can occur without sensory involvement, directly influencing thoughts and actions. Such thought transference, invisible and powerful, can motivate beliefs or behaviors without our awareness, storing ideas for later use or manipulation. Words themselves, as symbols of communication, carry spirit—immaterial yet potent—capable of inspiring actions or inventions, often driven by unseen spiritual forces. The course of this world, driven by satan's evil spirit, manifests in carnal, fleshly attitudes and conduct across cultures, always bearing the mark of evil. This course, a visible path of influence, shapes national personalities and individual hearts, remaining within us even after conversion, ready to resurface. Evil communication from satan and his demons, whether direct or through cultural courses, transforms human nature, turning innocence into corruption, as seen from the beginning with Adam and Eve's choice to follow a deceptive spirit. Human nature, influenced by this evil communication, is incurably corrupt, described as diseased and malignant, requiring complete replacement rather than repair. Despite occasional acts of kindness, the heart remains evil, at war with God, unable to choose righteousness without divine intervention. Only through God's gift of a new heart can one overcome this inherent evil, enabling the will to choose obedience to God's law and resist the deceptive communication of satan's world.

Revelation 18:4 delivers a grave command from heaven, urging, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.' This warning resonates with urgency as the world nears its anti-God climax. The influence of Babylon, now global in reach, is spread through powerful mass communication networks that permeate the minds of men, turning them against their Creator and His people. This communication is a tool of deception, subtly experienced through countless examples of misguided conduct by those unknowingly enslaved by Babylon's evil sway. The apostles Paul and John address this pervasive, often unrecognized burden. In II Corinthians 4:3-4, Paul notes that the minds of the perishing are blinded by the god of this age, preventing the light of the gospel from shining upon them. Beyond this, individuals face the inaudible yet compelling spiritual communication from Babylon's invisible ruler, the prince of the power of the air, and his demonic forces. Resisting this communication is a daunting task, even for the aware, requiring constant vigilance. Yet, it is the key to countering Babylon's alluring call. Revelation 12:9 confirms there is no escape from this influence, as the great dragon, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, deceives the whole world. Born into a deceived world, we absorb its ways until God reveals an alternative. Modern Babylon's communication is unprecedented in intensity and reach, utilizing radio, music, movies, television, and the Internet, alongside entrenched systems of thought and conduct. There is no physical place to flee; the battle to resist is internal, fought where we live and conduct life. Revelation 18:2 further illustrates the nature of this evil communication, describing Babylon as a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird. God portrays Babylon as a dangerous generator of all earthly evil, linking demons with predatory, revolting birds. These unseen forces, vibrating at a different frequency, communicate thoughts and attitudes through the very air that sustains us, often without our awareness. Deception is transmitted through the culture we are born into, a medium of corrupting influence. Despite liberation through God's revelation, the urgent call from our Lord and Savior is to remain active in resisting, as this communication can be reabsorbed, enslaving us once more.
