Truth History Digest: Babylon, Banking & the Battle for Souls. A look into the claims that the Bank of England originated in Babylon.

From Babylon to the Bank of England—Is the world’s financial system a demonic legacy?

In a provocative series of discussions, technologist Michael McKibben and former NSA whistleblower Douglas Gabriel unravel what they claim to be the deepest roots of global control. Their thesis is radical: the world's banking systems—from ancient Babylon to today’s City of London—are not merely corrupt, but spiritually hijacked.

🏛️ The Ancient Blueprint

According to their research, the origins of international finance can be traced back to the Babylonian Radhanites, ancient merchant bankers who operated along the Silk Road. They were multilingual, mobile, and well-connected, facilitating trade between East and West. McKibben and Gabriel believe these individuals created a model that not only influenced the Roman Empire but evolved into the power structures of Europe’s ruling elite.

🏰 City of London: Modern Babylon

They place great emphasis on the City of London, a one-square-mile financial hub chartered shortly after William the Conqueror’s 1066 victory. This district, distinct from Greater London, allegedly continues the Radhanite mission: global control through finance. Its charter, McKibben claims, enshrined the rights of banking families to pass on wealth like royalty—establishing a hereditary financial elite.

⚔️ Knights, Temples, and Ledgers

The Knights Templar, often romanticized as warrior-monks, are portrayed here as early bankers, building on the Babylonian model. Like the Radhanites, they issued letters of credit and controlled trade routes. The claim is that their loyalty to the Pope concealed a deeper agenda: accumulating wealth and influence through war and finance.

💰 The Rothschilds and Modern Banking

The article leaps forward to the rise of the Rothschild dynasty, often accused of controlling European finances. Gabriel suggests their lineage may trace back—spiritually if not biologically—to the Babylonian Radhanites. The U.S. Federal Reserve, meanwhile, is portrayed as a puppet institution of the City of London, working through Crown agents to enforce economic slavery.

😈 Demonic Dominion

Where the theory turns most controversial is its spiritual lens. McKibben and Gabriel claim the entire system is not just secularly corrupt but demonically inspired, serving gods of old—Mammon, Moloch, Ahriman, and others. These ancient deities, they argue, never died; they simply evolved with the systems they helped build.

They cite Jesus’ words:

“You cannot serve God and Mammon.” (Matthew 6:24)
and
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers…” (Ephesians 6:12)

In this reading, the institutions of modern finance are not neutral. They are spiritual battlegrounds.

🙏 A Call for Discernment

As believers, we're exhorted to test all things (1 Thess. 5:21). While not every claim McKibben and Gabriel make can be verified historically, their central warning stands: a world built on greed, deceit, and unrepentant debt cannot reflect the kingdom of God.

We must therefore ask:

• Do our systems honor righteousness or reward exploitation?

• Are we complicit in Mammon’s dominion through silence or ignorance?

Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: if the roots are corrupt, the fruit will be rotten. It's time to examine the tree.
