The exposition on Babylon as an archetype continues in this teaching.

One of the clearest instructions for living in Babylon is seen in what the Jews call the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) because Babylon is beyond just a city. It is a system.

Some things to look out for in "Babylon" include:

-  Human power exalted above God.

-  Progress detached from righteousness.

-  Security is built on oppression.

-  Violence is displayed as a necessity.

-  Pride excused as wisdom.

Knowing about this system of "Babylon" and of the antichrist should lead us to three things:

1.  You have to conquer money. Don’t let money own you or control your life. 

2.  Learn to discern the Babylon of your time.

3.  You have to learn to keep your integrity despite being in Babylon.
