KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF MIDAS

KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF MIDAS – “YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MAMMON.” – Jesus. Mammon in the New Testament is commonly thought to mean money, material wealth, or any entity that promises wealth, and is associated with the greedy pursuit of gain. – Wiki 

DANIEL: 3 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. 3 So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.

4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “Nations and peoples of every language, this is what you are commanded to do: 5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. 6 Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”

For the record, 47 allowed this enormous golden statue to be used in Elon Musks Grok AI dystopian vision of Gaza – The Riviera of the Middle East. Not only did he consent, he posted the video on Truth Social. The President of the United States of America, just wow. 

If it wasn’t so disturbing it would be funny. But it’s not, at least I don’t think so. The words kitsch, garish, and corny spring to mind, yet it’s more than that. It’s dark in a mean spirited and malicious kind of way. All I see is a golden statue of an extremely dangerous and megalomaniacal bully.

The song’s lyrics to the video go: ‘Donald’s coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here, Trump Gaza’s shining bright, golden future, a brand new light, feast and dance, the deal is done, Trump Gaza number one.’

KING MIDAS – Thank you Robbie Tulip for posting this teaching in the comments section. 

Dionysus offered Midas his choice of whatever reward he wished for. Midas asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Midas rejoiced in his new power, which he hastened to put to the test. He touches an oak twig and a stone; both turned to gold. Overjoyed, as soon as he got home, he touched every rose in the rose garden, and all became gold. 

He ordered the servants to set a feast on the table. Upon discovering how even the food and drink turned into gold in his hands, he regretted his wish and cursed it. Claudian states in his In Rufinum: “So Midas, king of Lydia, swelled at first with pride when he found he could transform everything he touched to gold; but when he beheld his food grow rigid and his drink harden into golden ice then he understood that this gift was a bane and in his loathing for gold, cursed his prayer.”
