1 Kings 11: 14: And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
1 Kings 11: 23: And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
1 Kings 11: 26: And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
When Solomon became King, he made Israel into a superpower and the richest nation in the ancient world. But when Solomon turned away from God and began to worship the gods of his foreign wives (1 Kings 11: 1 – 8), then God raised up adversaries to trouble Solomon and his nation. Israel declined from its former state of greatness and became a divided nation that was eventually carried away into captivity.
Solomon represented America, a nation that rose up to become the richest and most powerful nation on the earth. But when America rejected its revival and the prophet that God had sent to it, then it began to decline from its former greatness, losing wars all over the world (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etcetera), succumbing to terrorism and rotting from within with its immorality, wokeness, political divisions and escalating civil unrest. The nation is thoroughly bankrupt and will soon be destroyed by its enemies to fulfil the seventh vision of the prophet where he saw America cratered from nuclear weapons.
