I am the Lord, the God of history and of tomorrow.
I do not change, though nations rise and fall before Me.
What you see unfolding in your time, I have already written in former days
not to frighten you, but to teach you.
Have I not shown you this before?
When men gathered to make a name for themselves apart from Me,
I scattered them, not because unity was evil,
but because unity without truth becomes tyranny.
So now you see the same desire:
one voice, one system, one power,
yet without reverence for Me.
Confusion follows where I am rejected.
when injustice cried louder than repentance,
I listened to the outcry of the innocent.
So now you see societies calling evil good and good evil.
Know this: I am patient, but I am not blind.
He trusted in his strength, his army, his gods.
I warned him again and again.
Deliverance came for My people,
and collapse came for the system that refused to let them worship Me.
So it is still:
oppression does not endure forever.
each did what was right in their own eyes.
Chaos followed.
Division followed.
So now you see nations fractured, truth contested,
because I am no longer their reference point.
I warned kings and nations:
Do not worship power.
Do not exploit the poor.
Do not silence truth.
They mocked My messengers
until what I spoke came to pass.
I am still speaking, though many no longer listen.
I showed you a system clothed in luxury,
drunk on power,
seducing the nations.
Babylon is not only a city, it is a spirit.
You see it again:
markets without mercy,
culture without conscience,
influence without wisdom.
When rulers tried to silence My name,
My Word spread faster.
When they imprisoned My servants,
My Spirit moved freely.
Do not fear hostility,
I grow My kingdom in opposition.
I preserved righteousness.
Judgment came, but so did rescue.
I always make a way through the storm for those who walk with Me.
I told you deception would increase.
I told you kingdoms would rise and fall.
But I also told you this:
Do not be shaken when darkness speaks loudly.
I am still seated on the throne.
I am not losing control.
I am revealing hearts.
Stand in truth.
Love righteousness.
Care for the broken.
Proclaim My Son.
What you are witnessing is not the end of hope,
it is the unveiling of what cannot last.
I have shown you these things before.
And just as before,
I will be faithful again.
I do not change, though nations rise and fall before Me.

I Saw This at Babel
When men gathered to make a name for themselves apart from Me,
I scattered them, not because unity was evil,
but because unity without truth becomes tyranny.
So now you see the same desire:
one voice, one system, one power,
yet without reverence for Me.
Confusion follows where I am rejected.
I Saw This in Sodom
When a people loved pleasure more than righteousness,when injustice cried louder than repentance,
I listened to the outcry of the innocent.
So now you see societies calling evil good and good evil.
Know this: I am patient, but I am not blind.
I Saw This in Egypt
Pharaoh hardened his heart against Me and against My people.He trusted in his strength, his army, his gods.
I warned him again and again.
Deliverance came for My people,
and collapse came for the system that refused to let them worship Me.
So it is still:
oppression does not endure forever.
I Saw This in the Days of the Judges
When My people rejected My ways,each did what was right in their own eyes.
Chaos followed.
Division followed.
So now you see nations fractured, truth contested,
because I am no longer their reference point.
I Spoke Through My Prophets
I warned kings and nations:
Do not worship power.
Do not exploit the poor.
Do not silence truth.
They mocked My messengers
until what I spoke came to pass.
I am still speaking, though many no longer listen.
I Revealed Babylon
I showed you a system clothed in luxury,
drunk on power,
seducing the nations.
Babylon is not only a city, it is a spirit.
You see it again:
markets without mercy,
culture without conscience,
influence without wisdom.
I Built My Church in Persecution
When rulers tried to silence My name,
My Word spread faster.
When they imprisoned My servants,
My Spirit moved freely.
Do not fear hostility,
I grow My kingdom in opposition.
I Remembered Noah
When violence filled the earth,I preserved righteousness.
Judgment came, but so did rescue.
I always make a way through the storm for those who walk with Me.
I Showed You the End From the Beginning
I told you the world would shake.I told you deception would increase.
I told you kingdoms would rise and fall.
But I also told you this:
Do not be afraid when systems fail.The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of My Christ.
Do not be shaken when darkness speaks loudly.
I am still seated on the throne.
I am not losing control.
I am revealing hearts.
Therefore
Return to Me.Stand in truth.
Love righteousness.
Care for the broken.
Proclaim My Son.
What you are witnessing is not the end of hope,
it is the unveiling of what cannot last.
I have shown you these things before.
And just as before,
I will be faithful again.
