God ordered the world with his light, but in sin, man refused God’s light and brought darkness into the human experience. 

This sermon aims to answer the question: "What has God done with the darkness He has bound?" The concept of archetypes is explained and emphasized as this question is addressed.

Archetypes are historical events, figures, or patterns of divine action that became a repeated template through which Bible authors interpreted new events. 

So whatever God did about darkness in the human experience was already shown in history. 

Babylon is an archetype, a system used to describe darkness with a structure. It is used to explain how human rebellion becomes systematic, organized, and self-sustaining.
