Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)"
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
(1 Corinthians 14:33)
We Live in a time when the church is full of confusion.... Babylon. All one has to do is read any Prophecy Forum out there, including this one. This Babel we are seeing is symptom of a greater malady in the church as a whole, which is a false approach to scripture using the carnal mind of man.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:7-8)
Prophecy cannot be understood by the fleshly organ of the Mind, But must be revealed by the Spirit of Christ, the "Mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16)
Without the Spirit and only relying on Human reason will always lead to understanding prophecy from a subjective interpretation of the text, and Peter is quick to tell us that "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." (1 Peter 1:20) In Other words this is the very first principle we must eliminate if we are to understand Prophecy rightly. Then Peter follows this saying: "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (1 Peter 1:21) Here we see the crux of the Problem, The Will man interferes with the teaching of the Holy Ghost, and only the Holy Ghost can reveal the Intent of the Prophecy for He inspired those things.
The Holy Ghost cannot BEGIN to teach us until we reach the point of NOT Knowing, till we are so lost That we cry out to Him to teach us. It is not until we can pray with the Psalmist;
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. (Psalm 25:3-4)
It is only then that the Holy Ghost can begin to teach you, and in the order Spoken of, first you must learn His ways, then His Paths, then you must be led in truth, and even then You must wait on Him to reveal the truth in His own time.
The Carnal mind of man can only lead to Babylon. A Mixture, and a compromise of the Truth. Man's religions built around the will of man will always lead to Babylon, and the harlot religion.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:43)
