Obama: A New Nebuchadnezzar?

Nebuchadnezzar was a Babylonian king who was used by God to provide correctional custody to the Jews of the two Southern Israelite tribes (Judah and Benjamin).

Nebuchadnezzar II, one of he greatest and longest-reigning monarchs of Mesopotamia, ruled Babylon from 605 to 562 BC He is mentioned some 90 times in the Old Testament, more than any other for­eign king. The Bible records his campaigns against Jerusalem in 604, 597 and 586 B.C., culminating in the captivity of Judah.

God has told Judah through the Prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah that if they failed to obey him, he would designate a foreign king to take them into captivity. God told Jeremiah, “I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon," declares the LORD, "and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. ^NIV Jeremiah 25:9

Note that Nebuchadnezzar was described as “my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon” by God in this prophesy.

Nebuchadnezzar was recorded in the biblical book of Daniel to have been overtaken by some sort of delusional disorder, causing him to live as and among the cattle for a period of seven years.

King Nebuchadnezzar later made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon for all to worship. He was a man who was “great in his own mind.”

While tolerant of many religions among the people he conquered, Nebuchadnezzar held deep-seated beliefs foreign to many of the subjugated peoples. Nebuchadnezzar was humbled twice by the Israelite, Daniel and his co-religionists, yet did not learn that only through the provision and call of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would he truly know eternal life.

Given the moral decline of the people of the United States and the failure of conservative Christians to comply with God’s guidance, could it be that Obama is the new Nebuchadnezzar for our nation? Obama is a man who, by all reports, is working solely for his own profit and that of others who think like him. Not all who work with him within the political sphere have the best interests of the American people in mind. Many are morally bankrupt and corrupt in their approach to government service.

If Barak Obama is the new Nebuchadnezzar, we can expect to endure much tribulation in the next four years: Reversal of Constitutional rights, introduction of Marxist and Socialist principles, and removal of current levels of free speech subsumed under the pseudo heading of national security initiatives.

We cannot fail to use our rights of free speech while we still have them. Use them or Lose them!
