A failed prophecy regarding Nebuchadnezzar, or is there another explanation?

Thanks Michael 37

I wish to respond to the Commentary below;

 

This prophecy is mainly speaking about the Millennium to come, and a short time after that. It is speaking about the remnants of the flesh Jews who will be restored back to God. It has nothing to do with the King of Babylon back then, or Cyrus, with the decree to rebuild the second temple (that was destroyed), but speaking about the time that is coming when we enter into Christ's rest (1000 years of peace, no wars).

God is declaring the truth, the peaceful state of the earth whilst Satan is locked up for a thousand years leading to Satan's end.  This is why the whole earth is singing.  Not just Israel, but even all the remants of the Gentile nations.  No wars!  Christ is ruling.  The earth is at peace. 

Revelation 20:1   And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Revelation 20:2   And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:3   And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that *he should deceive the nations no more*, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

 

Babylon back then was taken over by the Mede's who were more fierce.  Not a reason for the whole world to rejoice because wars did not end.

The King of Babylon back then did not smote the people with a continual stroke.  He was only here for a short time, but this particular King of Babylon has been here since the beginning, corrupting and causing all the wars and oppressions continually without a break. 

And now God is revealing who this particular King of Babylon is that he is mentioning, and he reveals to us it is Lucifer he is speaking about.

In the book of Revelation, we care called to come out of Babylon now.  Babylon back then does not exist, and is no more.  Babylon today - the Golden City is Satan's domain and is of the earth.  All the kingdoms of the world that Satan offered Jesus is Satan's land called Babylon - the City of Confusion.  All who are joined to her will remain in that state of confusion to serve that King, until Christ punishes and destroys that land forever and sets the captives free (whom he choses)

He has some truth in there here, but this commentator has not perceived that Lucifer is that King of Babylon that the proverb was addressed to, as a witness against him. 

He also does not mention, or maybe you just didn't quote it, that this same King of Babylon is also referred to as 'the Assyrian'.

 Isaiah 14:25   That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

Isaiah 14:26   This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

Isaiah 14:27   For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

 

The king of Babylon will be no more during the millennium, because 'his land' is destroyed. That kingdom is no more, never to return, but 'the Assyrian' the God of war, and military might will will return AFTER the thousand years for one more war (Gog and Magog war)  And this is when the Assyrian (Lucifer) will see his end.  And this is the purpose of God, to DESTROY SATAN for good after all is fulfilled.

So you see Satan is also referred to as 'the Assyrian', because of that role he has always played, putting the nations and peoples against one another.  His land now is the land of war, right up until he is destroyed.

I pray you have a love for the truth.

Sorry Sister, Your view as given is exactly the sort of seething mess of misappropriated, out of context stuff I avoid. I know some dear saints of God who are so full of claims about the future based on spurious speculations that they live in a delusional haze of esoteric indoctrination.

Take care.

You did not provide a very good rebuttal here, just an accusation based on what?  Your opinion.

 Revelation 10:7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

[Markie51]

I did not understand the second half of this scripture, but it is clear to me now. 

A reference to Nebuchadnezzar-in this circumstance-like other kings mentioned in the Bible are also synonymous to the people under his/their reigns.  A common practice after conquering a nation was to disperse-in to slavery-the indigenous/conquered people to other nations.  This was mainly to minimize the threat of future rebellions.  The nation of Babylon was-in effect-no more in existence by being absorbed and diluted into other nations-culturally-with subsequent generations.   Consequently, the conquered people and their offspring became salves-in a sense-to other nations.   Compare: Deuteronomy 30:3; Psalms 147:2; Isaiah 11:12, 56:8; Ezekiel 36:24, 37:21. 

The ancient Jewish nation suffered a similar result because of the fear that they were multiplying too quickly and thus posed a threat to the nation enslaving them.-Exodus 1:8-22.
