You hear that stuff in all the reggae you listen to, right? So these are the theological ideological tentpoles. The dichotomy is tied again to the anti-colonial Because Babylon, remember, again, in your Old Testament, is the symbol of the evil powers, the evil empire, just like in the Bible. It's the epitome. It is everything that's wrong in the world. It's the system.

So if you're following, again, the saga of the Old Testament, Israel fleeing Egypt or getting away from Egypt, becoming free, and then being enslaved by Babylon again. Babylon's the problem.
