    Babylon at Civil Twilight • The Ishtar Gate & Processional Way

    Reconstruction based on Koldewey excavations & Nebuchadnezzar II building cylinders

    Civil Twilight View of Babylon

    "I placed wild bulls and ferocious dragons in the gateways, and thus adorned them with luxurious splendor so that all mankind might gaze on them in wonder." — East India House Inscription of Nebuchadnezzar II

    Historicist Exegesis: The blue glazed lapis-lazuli bricks and golden mušḫuššu dragons of the Ishtar Gate served as an imperial monument to Bel-Marduk. When Daniel and his companions entered these corridors in 605 B.C., they stood against the foremost intellectual and pagan superpower of antiquity, trusting the prophecy that human gold would one day crumble before the eternal Kingdom of God.
