Something to Think About
The sixth place we encounter in Royal Arch Masonry is Babylon. It is here that the captives were taken by the King of the Chaldees, Nebuchadnezzar, to remain servants to him.
When we think of the places where the events in the Bible took place, we usually picture Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, maybe Egypt, and of course Jerusalem. But much of the Bible took place in a land hundreds of miles away from these places. It’s known as Babylon. Today, it lies within the borders of the Republic of Iraq. Baghdad is the capital.
Babylon means, “gate of god” and it was once one of the most elaborate and influential cities in the world. Inside its great defensive walls were palaces, temples, and the Hanging Gardens that were listed among the wonders of the ancient world.
Today, Babylon is in ruins. A small section has been excavated by archaeologists and a part of that is being restored by the Iraq Department of Antiquities. But most of the ancient city is still buried beneath the sand. Even the river that once flowed through this magnificent city has changed its course.
But Babylon lives on in a different way. Like Jerusalem and Rome, Babylon is more than just a geographical location. The name Babylon has come to symbolize utter confusion and mankind’s resistance to God.
There was a moment when both Babylon and Judah maintained distant but cordial relations. The Bible tells us how the Babylonians sent a goodwill mission to Judah’s King Hezekiah to congratulation him on his recovery from serious illness. Hezekiah had shown the Babylonian emissary the treasure of the Temple, built by Solomon. This proved to be a costly mistake (II Kings 20:12-19).
The Babylonians’ sentiments toward Judah changed when they became the chief power in the region. Jerusalem fell to them and the Temple was destroyed in July 587 B.C.
