Do all the religions of the world trace back to the Tower of Babel?
Yes. All religions of the world have their roots going back to the Tower of Babel. That event began all pagan idolatrous religion, and every true cult, even when using Scripture, has doctrine rooted there. The mystery of iniquity has worked since the scattering from Babel, opposing true worship of Jehovah God.
Les explains that after the flood, early people gathered in the valley of Shinar on the Euphrates River and built the Tower of Babel. At that point, all pagan idolatrous religion began. Any cult today, if it is a true cult, may use Scripture, but parts of its doctrine put its roots right back in the Tower of Babel. Every one of them. All religions of the world have roots going back to Babel; that is where it all began. Les connects this to Paul in 2 Thessalonians, where the mystery of iniquity was already working ever since they scattered from Babel, constantly opposing true worship of Jehovah God. For Israel, the nemesis was idolatry—Baal worship, Moloch. On this side of the cross, Paul went to the Gentile world and was confronted with such idolatry, as Acts chapter 19 illustrates.
