Did the idol Nebo in Isaiah 46:1 take revenge on the God of the Bible? When God’s hand wrote on the wall of the palace in Babylon the words “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin,” Nebo knew that this text was directed against him. Nebo was the writer god. The text read: “Your kingdom has been numbered, weighed and found wanting.” (Daniel 5:25) It looked like Plato’s Atlantis. Did Nebo take revenge by fabricating a story in which Jerusalem would perish without the God of the Bible? But in the shape of an island that lay in the sea in the west? For this he needed a pagan who would direct Western philosophy. His name was Plato. – leon elshout
