Two Men from Babylon: Nebuchadnezzar, Trump, and the Lord of History

by Wallace Henley

Overview

What roles do King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of ancient Babylon, and Donald J. Trump, 45th president of the United States, play in God furthering His kingdom? In Two Men from Babylon, Wallace Henley brings into perspective how God uses unlikely leaders to bring about His plans and purpose. Here is a masterfully constructed book that tears the camouflage off our times and looks intensely at what is going on in our crazy era on the eve of a year of destiny—and perhaps for civilization itself. Here you will:

• Consider the possibility that God made Donald Trump president
• Learn where the “age of Trump” might fit into history
• Get a feel for the "White House Mystique”
• Sense the spiritual atmosphere of the Oval Office
• Discover the strategic role of the church related to politics
• Understand why places of great power are vulnerable to demonic attack
• . . . and much more

The heart of this book is found in two Scripture passages, “It is God who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings” (Daniel 2:21); and “This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). Two Men from Babylon summarizes the truth of these verses in revealing that God has grand purposes for time and history; there are manifestations of the kingdom that appear throughout finite time and history; the church is the primary agent for the expansion of this kingdom; nations are of strategic importance in the fulfillment of God’s plan; and it is God who establishes and removes the leaders of those nations. Thus, the Lord of History is the focus of this book, but Nebuchadnezzar and Donald Trump play an essential role in His story.

Editorial Reviews

'In this book, author Wallace Henley, with his background in the White House and in pastoral service in the church, writes about 'the Lord of History,' who raises up and tears down whom He will—ultimately for the furtherance of His kingdom. That includes King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of ancient Babylon, and Donald J. Trump, 45th president of the United States. The overall point of this important new book is to explore what Christian historian Christopher Dawson calls 'the overruling purpose of God.' I recommend it highly.'

Dr. Jerry Newcombe; author; senior producer

'While working together at the White House, both Wallace Henley and my late father developed a spiritual, more comprehensive lens that allowed them to see how God's ultimate plan is played out in history through improbable leaders and nations. In this book, your spiritual eyes will be opened to see how God works in human history.'

Ginny Dent Brant

'A powerful, thought-provoking read that brings into perspective how God uses unlikely leaders to bring about His plans and purpose. You won't just read the book; you'll reread each chapter; write in the margins, and lean back and say . . . WOW . . . God really is in control!'

PERRY ATKINSON

'Wallace Henley has written one of the most insightful books I have ever read. God is the Master of history and chooses the leaders that shape it. Man looks at the outside and questions why many leaders fill the seats they do, not understanding God's bigger design and how He uses the most unusual to accomplish the sometimes unexplainable. Honestly, this is a book that will challenge you greatly and help you understand God's ways better.'
