The book is a detailed analysis of the concept of Babylon as it appears in the Bible and other religious texts.

He then goes on to explore how the concept of Babylon has been used throughout history to justify war, persecution, and slavery. Hemmings argues that the Babylonian system is based on the exploitation of the weak and the oppressed, and that it is responsible for much of the suffering in the world.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Babylonian system. Hemmings discusses the role of religion in perpetuating the Babylonian system, as well as the ways in which the system has been used to justify imperialism and colonialism. He also explores the ways in which the Babylonian system has been challenged throughout history, including by the early Christian church and by various social and political movements.Overall, Mystic Babylon Described: As The Source Of All War, Persecution, And Slavery is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of one of the most enduring concepts in human history.
