Jerusalem.''
 
King Nebuchadnezzar is introduced in [[2 Kings]]:24 as the king of Babylon who attacked the kingdom of Judah and made the then-king of Judah, Jehoiakim, his vassal for several years. In the fourth year of Nebuchadnezzar II's reign, Jehoiakim refused to pay further [[tribute]], which led to another siege of the city in Nebuchadnezzar II's seventh year (598/597 BCE) that culminated in the ''death'' of Jehoiakim and the exile to Babylonia of his successor Jeconiah, his court, and many others;
 
Nebuchadnezzar was uncertain if the new ''king of Jerusalem would keep faith with Babylon''. The king was sent to Babylon together with “all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand  captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths.” ([[2 Kings 25]]:27).

Later there would be a confrontation with Daniel and of course Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Book of Daniel chapter 3. Those Jewish men are thrown into a fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar II, for refusing to bow to the king's image.
 
Nebuchadnezzar II died peacefully of natural causes after a reign of 43 years but Babylon would not last even another 25 after his death.

Nebuchadrezzar the Great

Nebuchadnezzar II(also spelled Nebuchadrezzar II) was the second king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, ruling from the death of his father Nabopolassar[1] in 605 BC to his own death in 562 BC. Historically known as Nebuchadnezzar the Great, he is typically regarded as the empire's greatest king.

"At the time he was commander-in-chief of the Babylonian army Nebuchadnezzar was king of Assyria, a part of the Babylonian Empire. At first he was called king of Assyria (11 Kings 23:29), later king of Babylon or king of the Chaldeans.— "[2]

As the commander-in-chief described as the greatest military leader of the Neo-Babylonian empire. He ruled from 605 – 562 BCE in the Tigris-Euphrates basin. His leadership saw numerous military successes and the construction of building works such as the famous Ishtar Gate.

The names Nebuchadrezzar appear about 90 times in the Bible under several different forms and two Strong's numbers.[3] [4] It is supposed to mean something like "may Nebo protect the crown".

This title was given to the ruler who was the king of Babylon who captured Jerusalem and carried the people of Judah into captivity.

He may have thought himself a "shepherd"[5] of the people but his ways were rooted in Cain and Nimrod.[6] His house was full of leaven.


Cruelty and conversion

Before he seized Judea there had already been exacted a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold from it" by Egypt(2 Kings 23:33-34). When Nebuchadnezzar defeated the kings who held the nation under tribute he placed the young Jeconiah (Jehoiachin), son of Jehoiakim, on the throne of his father in Jerusalem.

King Nebuchadnezzar is introduced in 2 Kings:24 as the king of Babylon who attacked the kingdom of Judah and made the then-king of Judah, Jehoiakim, his vassal for several years. In the fourth year of Nebuchadnezzar II's reign, Jehoiakim refused to pay further tribute, which led to another siege of the city in Nebuchadnezzar II's seventh year (598/597 BCE) that culminated in the death of Jehoiakim and the exile to Babylonia of his successor Jeconiah, his court, and many others;

Nebuchadnezzar was uncertain if the new king of Jerusalem would keep faith with Babylon. The king was sent to Babylon together with “all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths.” (2 Kings 25:27). It appears the poor were left.

During that captivity there are several stories about this personality. There were many about his cruelty. One about how he worshipped Daniel[7] and another where he threw him into a lions den because he would not worship a golden statue.

Nebuchadnezzar suffers from a mental illness, and lives isolated for seven years, until he acknowledges the power of the one God.


Understanding these and other stories in the Bible may require that you understand why there were golden statues like the Golden calf in the different city-states and what their purpose was within society.

Also, what was the problem with Mammon, which had to do with wealth held in trust by a centrally controlled Treasury and what were they doing in many of the pagan Temples in these city-states like Sumer?

And what did all these cultural and civic practices have to do with the idea of Coveting your neighbor's goods and having One purse?

If you are willing to research how these civic and cultural practices within modern and ancient society work together to snare you as a people, bring you into bondage, make you Merchandise, and curse children with perpetual debt you may begin to see a pattern in the two Testaments from which we should repent.

If you are willing to see the truth about what it meant to worship the golden statues and Mammons of the world then you may be ready to understand the title of Nebuchadnezzars of the world both ancient and modern.

Zedekiah was the last king of Judah. When he decided stop the payment of tribute to the Babylon retaliation by Nebuchadnezzar II laid siege to Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah, destroying it.

The biblical Book of Jeremiah paints Nebuchadnezzar as a cruel king.[8] But also as God's appointed ruler of the world and a divine instrument to supposedly punish disobedience.

Later there would be a confrontation with Daniel and of course Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Book of Daniel chapter 3. Those Jewish men are thrown into a fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar II, for refusing to bow to the king's image.

Nebuchadnezzar II died peacefully of natural causes after a reign of 43 years but Babylon would not last even another 25 after his death.

Modern Nebuchadnezzar

Are there modern Nebuchadnezzar?

Nebo was said to be the god of education. Education is about knowledge so was he the god of the tree of knowledge?

Many people may be educated but not understand the tree of life. The nature of the God of Creation is to give life but the nature of the adversary of God is to take life. Christ came to sacrifice his life and to set the people free by doing so. Early Christians were in the world but not of it. The redeemed men of God are to have dominion on this planet but not be of the world of the Fathers of the earth.

We are to be seeking the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.

Erick Erickson wrote "Why Bowing to Nebuchadnezzar is a Morally Good Choice" about the article by "Wayne Grew Dim" [9]

Wayne Grudem said "As a professor who has taught Christian ethics for 39 years, I think their analysis is incorrect. Now that Trump has won the GOP nomination, I think voting for Trump is a morally good choice."

He justifies that claiming Peter says Christians are “exiles” on this earth (1 Peter 1:1) and verifying that with the prophet Jeremiah’s translated words:

  • “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare” (Jeremiah 29:7). English Standard Version

This version says “Seek the welfare of the city" while the King James Version says "seek the peace of the city":

  • "And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace." Jeremiah 29:7

What Jeremiah was saying was since you are in captivity now then you should:

  • "Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished." Jeremiah 29: 5, 6

God caused[10] their captivity and "sent" them into captivity:

What Jeremiah does not say is that you should be seeking to covet your neighbor's goods by applying to the city for your welfare.

In 1 Peter 1:1 "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia," but in the English Standard Version we see "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,"

The word exile in the English Standard Version and strangers in the King James is parepidemos [11] which appears three times in the Bible.[12]

The normal word for stranger in the Bible is xenos [13] and appears some 14 times in the Bible.[14]. Both words appear in 1 Peter 2:11 so they are translated in different ways.

The word parepidemos has a meaning similar to "resident" or "alien" while xenos has a meaning "without a share", no entitlement.

Peter is not saying we are exiles from the earth but alien residents without a share in the entitlements of those living in these city states and kingdom. Christians did not eat of the welfare systems or Corban of the places where they lived. All those systems used force to extract the contribution and sacrifices of the people.

They used force to take care of the needy because they were the Benefactors who exercise authority. John the Baptist and Jesus and the Apostles said that we were to use Freewill offerings in the form of charity through love of one another in faith according to the Perfect law of liberty.

I could not find where either Erick Erickson or Wayne Grudem nor Modern Christians actually preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God nor do they appear to be seeking the righteousness of a system of love and charity.

Where do either of them point out that through these leaders and their Covetous Practices they would be made Merchandise and curse children.

Like most Modern Christians they seem to have become conquered by Egyptians and Babylonians by following the ways of the Nicolaitans and the stumblingblock of Balaam.
