Living In A Babylon World

For some, it never came into their minds. For others, if it did ever dawn upon them, they did not care. For many more, it is called adaptation or assimilation: mix in among and become a hybrid. Learn the way of the heathen and use it to their best success or personal security and a good life. Yes, the good life must be achieved even at the expense of losing one's soul. Go through the Babylonian system of education, street influence, and job security. All can be sacrificed if money, wealth, fame, and achievement can be obtained. Living in Babylon sure has all its perks and returns.

The poor, the wise men, the priests, and those of education. I wondered how they could survive in the midst of such high betrayal of God?

For the righteous Jews it must have been a great sacrifice of faith to remain true to God.
