Title: Presumption & Judgement (13)
Series: Daniel
Author: Stephen Whitney
Text: Daniel 5:1-31
Napoleon, on the eve of his departure to defeat Russia after already conquering most of Europe, gave a detailed plan of his campaign to the noble lady with such an arrogance that she stopped him and said, "Sir, man proposes; but God disposes." To that he replied,
"Madam, I propose and dispose too."
A few months later he fought the Russians outside of Moscow on September 7, 1812. The battled resulted in approximately 44,000 Russian and 35,000 French dead, wounded or captured, and may have been the bloodiest day of battle in history up to that time.
He said, "It was the most terrible of all my battles."
On the night of November 8th his army walked through snow up to their knees, and nearly 10,000 men and horses froze to death. By the time he returned to France at the end of November only 40,000 of the 400,000 soldiers (10%) were left. That was the beginning of the end of the reign of Emperor Napoleon.
The word presumption is a combination of two words: pre meaning "in front of, before or ahead" and assume meaning "to take upon ones self, to take over." Together they carry the idea of "running ahead and taking over or the act to taking something beforehand."
Presumption is defined as: "Going beyond what is right and proper, overstepping due bounds, taking unwarranted liberties."
Presumption says that I can do whatever I want to do because I only answer to myself. I am free to live anyway I want.
The Hebrew word means: "to sin knowingly and purposely against the commands of God." The word was used of:
1. The Israelites going into the Promised land after God told them not to go after they refused his command to go (Deut. 1:43).
2. False prophets who spoke on their own authority (Deut. 18:22).
