Bible Boot-Camp Lesson # 6
Hellenism - Romanism
You go your way, I'll go YAHWEH!
<<<<<<<<WARNING>>>>>>>>>
YAHWEH'S WARNING RE: MAN'S GOVERNMENT:
.
"This will be the behavior of the king
who will reign over you:
..
He will take your sons...
He will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest,
and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.
He will take the best of your fields, your vineyards,
and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.
He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage,
and give it to his officers and servants.
And he will take your male servants, your female servants,
your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.
And you will cry out in that day because of your king
whom you have chosen for yourselves,
and the LORD will not hear you in that day."
- 1Samuel chapter 8
During the time of Abraham, Moses, and the generations just after Moses, the ancient Israelites lived under a theocracy, meaning they were directly governed by our CREATOR, according to the Order of Melchizedek. There was no centralized earthly authority. There were no men-in-black. There was no central high church, synagogue or high priest rendering moral decisions. The national leadership came from individuals - men and women - called Judges, they were special people of the Jerusalem Church who were called out by YAHWEH to guide the people in HIS ways, feelings and opinions.
The Book of Judges, and the two Books of the Prophet Samuel, recount the Israelites up and down relationship with YAHWEH as their KING. The last person to rule as a Prophet was Samuel apx. 1025 B.C.E., as he grew older, the people no longer felt secure in their system of government and asked Samuel to appoint them a human king modeled after their pagan neighbors. Samuel was distraught, he felt the people had rejected him.
"Liberty means responsibility, that is why people hate it." YAHWEH reassured him, they have not rejected him (Samuel), but rather have rejected YAHWEH and HIS rule over them. In the above quote YAHWEH gives the people one final warning as to what this type of government would do to them, the key word is 'take.' This type of government will always 'take' more the it gives. Unfortunately, the people were seduced by the dark side and rejected HIS warning.
One must always remember: The ancient texts tell us of the supernatural conflict between the side of light against the darkness of evil. Our fight is not with our fellow man, it is the false education system hiding behind him. Ephesians 6:12 puts it in black and white: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Satan is the god of this world,
and his is a world of counterfeit wisdom...
"...whose minds the god of this age has blinded..." - 2Cor.4:4
The Biblical history books of Kings and Chronicles, details the consequences of their wrong choices. First the northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed, wiped off the map, never to be heard from again. And later the southern kingdom was defeated. The conquered Judeans were collected and transferred to the ancient city of Babylon.
King Nebuchadnezzar was incredibly wealthy and powerful. He built his capitol city, Babylon, into was one of the ancient wonders of the world. The city with its magnificent buildings was crowned by the renowned and spectacular hanging gardens of Babylon. The ancient capital, about six miles square and with walls 300 feet high, was part of the empire of Nimrod referred to in Genesis 10:10.
In that era a wise Prophet named Daniel was “called out” for extraordinary service. He was a brilliant young man, a Prophet who had been given special understanding in visions and dreams. He wrote the book under his name in the Bible. Daniel exemplified how to live, and conduct oneself in the midst of Babylon, which is an example of how all Believers must live in a world governed by darkness. Do not sink your roots too deeply in this present order. Change is coming - sooner then you think!
There are many interesting stories of Daniel’s life of exile in Babylon, but for our study one incident is very important to us today. YAHWEH used Daniel to make it known to the Babylonian king that the CREATOR, YAHWEH, ruled over the whole Earth, and that Nebuchadnezzar held his throne only by HIS will. In a dream Nebuchadnezzar saw a vision that he did not understand, and none of his wise men could explain it. He called on Daniel, who interpreted it as a prophecy outlining the superpower human governments and the coming government of YAHWEH. This prophecy is important to us today as it generally describes the government we will be living under until the redeeming Messiah comes and restores the Kingdom.
But there is a GOD in heaven who reveals secrets,
and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar
what will be in the latter days.
"You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image!
This great image, whose splendor was excellent...,
and its form was awesome.
This image's head was of fine gold,
its chest and arms of silver,
its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron,
its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
You watched while a stone was cut out without hands,
which struck the image..., and broke them in pieces...."
- Daniel chapter 2
Through this prophecy, YAHWEH is telling us that there will be different stages to this government of kings that we have chosen for ourselves. Nebuchadnezzar saw a stupendous male image, and Daniel described what the features of it represented. The golden head represented Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon; its chest and arms of silver represent the next superpower the Persian Empire, which came in 536 B.C.E. The mid-section of bronze represents the Greco-Macedonian Empire of Alexander the great in 331 B.C.E. The hips and legs of iron are the Roman Empire which begins in 63 B.C.E., and the two long legs are the split of the Roman Empire, East/Constantinople and West/Rome.
It’s feet, is a blend of iron and clay (this is the stage we are under today), and the ten toes represent ten governing bodies ruling together, which will come to power sometime in the future, near the end of this 'Biblical' Age of Grace.
This iron clay mixture is not very strong, and it represents a weak revival of the roman empire combined with other global organizations. The prophecy reveals that this entire system of human governments will be destroyed by the redeeming Messiah (the final battle is described in Zec.ch.14). Then man’s governments will be replaced by the Kingdom/Government of YAHWEH, headed by the Messiah, as King of kings ruling all the Earth (Dan.ch.2, and a corresponding vision in ch.7).
During a large party at Nebuchadnezzar’s palace they were passing around and defiling objects stolen from the Temple in Jerusalem. All of a sudden some mysterious Aramaic writing appeared on the wall and Daniel was summoned to interpret it (Dan.5:25). Roughly translated it said, “the party is over,” meaning the Babylonian empire will soon be destroyed. Although Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges the existence of YAHWEH, because of his pride and thinking his glorious city was invincible, he never obeyed. Painfully the prophecies unfolded just as YAHWEH predicted, and the Persian Empire succeeded Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian Empire.
Today’s popular expression, “didn’t you see the handwriting on the wall,” comes from Nebuchadnezzar’s harsh lesson of reality. Change is coming - sooner then you think!
Today: Critics of the Bible questioned the existence of Nebuchadnezzar because his name never appeared in any archaeological sites. In the early 1900’s Babylon was discovered in Iraq. Along with the discovery of Babylon are thousands of clay bricks with a dedication to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon. Now these critics grudgingly admit the Biblical references in the book of Daniel are the greatest and most accurate history of Nebuchadnezzar.
King Saddam Hussein of the Desert Storm Gulf War fame is rebuilding the city and fancies himself to King Nebuchadnezzar because he conquered the Ancient Jews and drove them off their land. King Hussein rebuilt the Istar Gate and began rebuilding the city. Every year there is a summer festival dedicated to Satan. When Iraq is allowed to start selling oil again, this project would progress rapidly. Prophecy says in Revelation 18:1-12 the city will return in the end times. It will become a major commercial commerce center, and men will weep at the destruction of the city at the return of the Messiah (Isa.13:1,6,19; Rev.ch.18).
