World Rulers - The First World Ruler.
The First World Ruler.
Q. Which Nation was the First World Ruler?
Egypt & Assyria, although powerful & mighty nations never became World Ruler. They continually fought against each other & with Israel, which was situated in between.
Finally there arose another great power, Babylon, which dominated the Middle East. They conquered Israel, who had turned from God & thus they were led into exile in Babylon.
`...Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem & besieged it...& he brought the articles (of Israel`s temple) into the treasure house of his god.` (Dan. 1: 1 & 2)
A young man named Daniel was among those exiled. He was taken to the king`s court & there he proved to be a very good statesman & insightful prophet. Then over many years & through great trials, Daniel was given amazing insight into future world events, & the nations that would rule the world.
`Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, “You, O king are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength & glory.` (Dan. 2: 37)
Looking back over 2500 years of history, we can see these world rulers, yet to Daniel these nations were but villages & tribes. Only God in His foreknowledge knew who would arise to world dominance.
There has only been 4 World Rulers and one is prophesied yet to come. The final Gentile World Government.
