Earlier this month, the winners of the contest to name the “new seven wonders of the world” were released. Both Machu Picchu, Peru and Pyramid At Chichen Itza, Mexico made the cut.

The summary description for Machu Picchu given in an Associated Press wire article read: “Built by the Incan Empire in the 15^th century, the giant walls, palaces, temples and dwellings of the Machu Picchu sanctuary are perched in the clouds at 8,000 feet above sea level in the Andes mountains. It remains a mystery how the huge stones were moved into place for the construction of the remote city.”

The summary for Chichen Itza read: “This step-pyramid surmounted by a temple survives from a sacred site that was part of one of the greatest Mayan centers of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. Built according to the solar calendar, it is placed so that shadows cast at the fall and spring equinoxes are said to look like a snake crawling down the steps, similar to the carved serpent at the top.”

Obviously both these “wonders” are pure satanic-inspired masterpieces that hearken back to Babel and represent the ongoing legacy of Baal worship.

As Jordan says in an old study on this same subject, “You look at the Incas and the Aztecs and they always got those steps that go way, way up there to offer the sacrifices on top. Now, you didn’t think they invented that, did you? It goes all the way back to Genesis 11.

“If you want a book that’ll scare the daylights out of you, read The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop. Hislop does first-hand, original research in the Orient, and in the Middle East, and in Babylon, and in Egypt and Persia. He doesn’t take anybody’s word for any of it; he goes right over there where these people were and he traces it all back.

“And he says there’s a Babylon back there, and there’s one in Revelation 17, and there’s an unbroken string of religious tradition from Genesis to the Antichrist. In the Bible, it’s called ‘Baal worship.’

“When I read that book by Hislop 20 years ago, I remember thinking, ‘This scares me because that looks just like what I see in the Bible!’

“From Hislop’s book, you find out that a lot of the religious traditions people think so much of—Halloween, Easter, Christmas, All Saints Day—were practiced 2,000 years before Christ!

“You want to see the Madonna and the child? He’s got pictures of wood cuttings from it that date 1,500 years before Christ that were being worshipped in Egypt!

“When Paul says, ‘Flee from idolatry,’ that’s what he’s talking about. He isn’t talking about some dude sitting next door to you with a little Buddha stuck in his flower bed for an ornament. He’s talking about this stuff. That’s what the Bible calls idolatry—Baal worship.

“What Satan does to destroy nationalism is No. 1, he promotes internationalism; one city to reign over all of the cities where we’ll all be together with one language, and one tongue, one world government and a one-world religion. Ecumenicalism and nationalism are the two things Satan uses in his policy of evil the nations.

“Now, when I was a kid they used to have a cartoon with this little cat sitting on the Ark, and it was raining and they began to sing this song, ‘Oh, it ain’t gonna rain no more no more, it ain’t gonna rain no more. What in the world do the old folks know, it ain’t gonna rain no more no more.’

“I used to think, ‘What in the world is all that?! Put Popeye back on!’ But you’d see them start building this tower like Jack in the Beanstalk—one that’d just go forever—and these birds would be flying all around.

“And the idea is it’d just get waaay, waaay out there until it almost got to God’s house, and God would say, ‘I don’t want you out here,’ and it’d be ‘Whap! Knock it all down.’

“But that ain’t what this (Babel worship concept) is about at all. It’s not about building a tower that reaches 80-90 miles or 16 hundred thousand miles out into the atmosphere. Nimrod said, ‘We want to have us a city and a tower. We want to have a distinct political entity like Cain built back in Genesis 4.’

“God had sent Cain out into the earth and said, ‘You’re to be a vagabond. You’re to wander and you’re not going to be able to live in one place.’ But Cain went out and what’d he do? He lived in the land of Nod and built a city. What do you do in a city? You live in it. He built a great, earthen metropolitan area—a metropolis—in absolute rebellion to Almighty God.”
