This article is a little long, but stay with it: because Mark Rushdoony nails it.
“Babylon is the kingdom of man,” opposed to the Kingdom of God. It is human beings trying to be gods.

If your Bible reading has brought you around to Revelation, this essay will be illuminating. It’s a “big picture” view of Revelation–speaking for myself, at least, something which I’m always in danger of losing in the details.

A letter from a reader led me into one of the more challenging articles I wrote for Chalcedon’s print magazine, Faith For All of Life. The reader wished to know what we thought of fairies.

It turned out that there was quite a lot to be said about fairies.
(P.S.–Some of you have been asking how you can find the new stuff on Chalcedon’s new improved website. Please be patient! I mean, we’ve just finished making sure we’ve posted all the old stuff, and tagged it, etc.–and that was a big, big job.)
Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore
If you’re interested in the ever-worsening problem of opioid addiction in America, which President Trump mentioned in his State of the Union speech, and would like to read a deep and thorough treatment of the subject, visit the Chalcedon website, http://www.chalcedon.edu .
Our print magazine, Faith For All Of Life, published a series of 18 articles by our vice-president, Martin Selbrede, on the life and work of Dr. Punyamutula Kishore, whose clinics boasted a success rate of 50 to 60 percent in treating drug addicts–until the state of Massachusetts shut him down, closed his clinics, and sent him to prison. Dr. Kishore is out now, and resuming his work in other states where the government is more receptive: but he has an awful lot of wreckage to clean up.
It’s easy to access Martin’s articles (edited by Susan and me). Just go to Chalcedon’s site, click “Resources,” and search for “Dr. Kishore”–so simple, even I can do it.
Why was Dr. Kishore persecuted? His success rate of 50 to 60 percent rather embarrassed the government-endorsed programs, where the success rate seldom reaches as high as 5 percent. His was a sobriety-based treatment, instead of substituting one addictive drug for another. Martin’s articles tell the whole story. Meanwhile, a feature film has been made about Dr. Kishore and should soon be ready for release.
It’s too big a story for me to sum up here: so if you’re interested, read the articles. I think you’ll be amazed by what you read.
