Spirit of Godless Babylon The world is full of illustrations of the ruin that attends God-forgetting, self-willed disobedience, but the sad fate of so many others does not for a moment check the steady stream of those that follow in their footsteps. The wrecks lie thick upon the shore, but their broken sides and gaunt skeletons are not sufficient warning to keep a thousand other ships from being steered straight upon the shoals to be broken up beside them. Men and women- flirt with temptation knowing full well its power to harm and destroy all that is best of body, mind and spirit. They choose the happiness of the moment, the gifts of the world, the flesh and the devil to the exclusion of all else although they are aware that like Goethe's hero in "Faust" they are buying the pleasure and self-indulgence they enjoy at the price of eternal loss. This is the spirit Daniel condemns. The spirit that is the spirit of godless Babylon, the spirit that is represented by every life today that forgets God in the absorption of material things.
