Are we living in a little Babylon today created by our own means as humans?

Are we living in a little Babylon today created by our own means as humans? This song reminds me of that. We are living in an ever created global world where the globalist push so much immigration and global movement, almost unnecessarily it seems, just to create sin, chaos, and our populations to clash over all the different languages, religions, and cultural morays living together in the same communities and countries. We seem to want all this mixture of cultures, instead of allowing and pushing more for each country and culture to live in their own lands in peace, we want all this global movement which creates so much chaos and lawlessness, almost trying to cause confusion in societies. You can go anywhere today, the gym, supermarket, out for a walk, wherever and there as so many languages heard, so many different cultures and garb people use and wear, some even say they want to push and have Sharia law here in the USA in some parts, it is like the times of Babylon almost. While we seem to live in Babylon of this world at these times now, we are not of it. The requirement to come out of Babylon means to come out of its ways (see John 17:14-18; Revelation 18:4-5). While we see craziness, lawlessness, sin, chaos, and dysfunction, we do not need to be a part of it all. The USA used to be a place where immigrants had to assimilate when the came here, to fit into our society. Now however with the globalist movement, most do not feel like they have to. They continue with their own languages, cultural behaviors, and want all here to accept and understand and adhere to their norms, not the ones we already have. Nonetheless, it creates a lot of chaos for society as a whole, we see this in the news and government daily. The elitist and globalist have a different agenda, almost as if they want all this immigration, illegal or otherwise, with refuges, and so many excuses for why we need this movement worldwide. While we are living in times of chaos and lawlessness, we need to maintain and know the promise God gave us through Jesus Christ, we who are now living in end-time Babylon-like societies. Daniel in the Bible also felt this way, we too have to be men and women of prayer and uncompromising moral character, whom God will soon honor with eternal life in His Kingdom in Heaven! Put your trust in the Lord, not man, not the globalist or all who want to push all this sin and chaos. 

The United Church of God has a nice write-up about Babylon on their website and shares a lot more on this at:
