Buddhism and the Babylonian System – A Deception Unveiled
Discover the hidden connections between Buddhism and the Babylonian system. Learn how ancient mystery religions influenced Buddhist teachings and why it stands in contrast to biblical truth.
📜 Introduction
Buddhism is often seen as a peaceful philosophy, promoting enlightenment and detachment from the material world. However, beneath its teachings lie deep-rooted connections to ancient Babylonian mysticism and the broader system of deception that opposes the Most High. This study explores the spiritual origins of Buddhism, its alignment with the Babylonian system, and how it contradicts biblical truth.
📖 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 – “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.”
🔎 Deception often appears as wisdom, but it leads away from the truth of the Most High.
The Origins of Buddhism and Its Connection to Babylon
✔ Founded by Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) around 500 B.C. – Buddha sought enlightenment through self-denial, meditation, and detachment from the material world.
✔ Buddhism’s Core Beliefs Resemble Ancient Mystery Religions: Babylonian and Hindu traditions greatly influenced Buddhism, including karma, reincarnation, and seeking godhood within oneself.
✔ The Middle Path – A Deceptive Counterfeit of Biblical Truth: Buddhism teaches that avoiding extremes of indulgence and asceticism leads to enlightenment, yet the Bible teaches the only true path is through Jesus Christ.
✔ Babylon’s Influence on Eastern Religions: The ancient Babylonian priests, who developed mystical spiritual systems based on astrology, secret wisdom, and reincarnation, heavily influenced Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. Many of the core principles in Buddhism—such as seeking enlightenment through meditation and self-denial—mirror the practices of the ancient Babylonian mystery schools.
✔ The Serpent’s Lie – “Ye Shall Be as Gods” (Genesis 3:5): Just as Babylonian teachings promise humans they can ascend to godhood through secret knowledge and spiritual practices, Buddhism also teaches that one can achieve a divine-like state (nirvana) through self-discipline. This directly contradicts the biblical doctrine that salvation comes only through Christ.
📖 John 14:6 – “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
🔎 The Bible presents salvation through Christ alone, while Buddhism offers a works-based path to self-enlightenment.
The Core Doctrines of Buddhism – A Babylonian Counterfeit
Buddhism shares key doctrines with Babylonian mystery religions, forming a deceptive counterfeit of biblical faith.
1. Reincarnation vs. Resurrection
✔ Buddhism teaches that souls are reborn based on karma.
✔ Babylonian mysticism embraced cycles of life, death, and rebirth, believing humans could ascend spiritually over lifetimes.
✔ The Bible rejects reincarnation, teaching a single life followed by judgment.
📖 Hebrews 9:27 – “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
🔎 The idea of endless rebirth is a deception to deny God’s final judgment.
2. Enlightenment vs. Salvation
✔ Buddhism teaches that enlightenment (nirvana) is achieved through self-purification and wisdom.
✔ Babylonian teachings focused on divine knowledge as the key to godhood.
✔ The Bible teaches salvation comes through faith in Christ, not self-effort.
📖 Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
🔎 Seeking salvation through self-enlightenment denies the necessity of Christ’s sacrifice.
3. Detachment vs. Relationship with God
✔ Buddhism promotes detachment from desires and emotions to reach enlightenment.
✔ Babylonian priests practiced mystical meditation to reach divine consciousness.
✔ The Bible calls for believers to love God deeply, not detach from Him.
📖 Matthew 22:37 – “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
🔎 God desires a relationship, not cold detachment.
The Role of Buddhism in the End-Times Babylonian System
The Book of Revelation describes Mystery Babylon as a global system of false worship, merging all religions into one deceptive unity. Buddhism plays a key role in this movement.
✔ Buddhism Promotes a Works-Based Salvation – Just as the Babylonian system teaches salvation through rituals and self-improvement, Buddhism denies salvation by grace.
✔ Buddhism’s Influence on the One-World Religion – Many New Age movements merge Buddhist ideas with Christianity, pushing an ecumenical blend of false teachings.
✔ The Pope’s Endorsement of Buddhist Practices – The Vatican has promoted Buddhist meditation as part of interfaith dialogue, aligning with the prophecy of the great apostasy.
📖 Revelation 17:4-5 – “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
🔎 Buddhism is one of the many branches of deception in the end-time Babylonian system.
💡 – Why Believers Must Reject Buddhism
✔ Buddhism denies the biblical doctrine of sin, salvation, and judgment.
✔ Its roots are tied to ancient Babylonian mystery religions, promoting a false path to godhood.
✔ It is a works-based system that rejects the atonement of Christ.
✔ It plays a role in the coming one-world religion of Mystery Babylon.
📖 2 Corinthians 6:17 – “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.”
🔎 God calls His people to separate from all forms of false worship.
