In 2003, Greg Lesvada drove a
black Lamborghini Diablo rubbed
00:00:25.65\00:00:31.73
shoulders with high-powered
people such as U.S. President
00:00:31.76\00:00:35.83
Bill Clinton, lived between
multimillion penthouses and
00:00:35.86\00:00:39.83
bought racehorses just for fun.
His world was one of extreme
00:00:39.87\00:00:45.71
extravagance and self-obsession.
During the 1990s Lesvada went
00:00:45.74\00:00:50.45
from being a university student
dropout to Australia's number
00:00:50.48\00:00:55.05
one adult website tycoon.
Money was pouring into his bank
00:00:55.08\00:00:59.59
accounts and he was suddenly a
multimillionaire. He was living
00:00:59.65\00:01:04.99
living the dream. He'd sleep in,
get up, have brunch, buy a new
00:01:05.03\00:01:09.56
car and then head to the air
port and be in another country
00:01:09.60\00:01:14.10
by the close of the day.
His whole world revolved around
00:01:14.14\00:01:18.41
himself and with the world at
his feet he lived a life of an
00:01:18.44\00:01:23.78
international playboy. Lesvada
hosted weekend long parties in
00:01:23.81\00:01:28.32
Las Vegas for friends and web
masters who had developed his
00:01:28.35\00:01:32.99
many adult websites. But bills
for those parties often exceeded
00:01:33.02\00:01:37.63
$100,000 which at the time
seemed like nothing to him. His
00:01:37.66\00:01:44.37
extravagance was limitless.
It was all about status. He just
00:01:44.40\00:01:49.90
craved the excessive admiration
and attention of his friends and
00:01:49.94\00:01:55.38
colleagues. Over the next few
years Lesvada plowed his cash
00:01:55.41\00:02:00.72
into stocks and property. At its
peak his property portfolio was
00:02:00.75\00:02:06.15
worth 30 million dollars. Now
while he also bought racehorses
00:02:06.19\00:02:11.43
just for the fun of it, his real
passion was fast cars. He owned
00:02:11.49\00:02:18.27
four Lamborghini's and
seven BMWs But this extravagant
00:02:18.30\00:02:23.81
lifestyle and poor business
management sent him on a
00:02:23.84\00:02:29.34
downward spiral to a broken
marriage, heroine addiction and
00:02:29.38\00:02:35.82
finally bankruptcy By 2008
Lesvada was back where it all
began living with mom and
00:02:35.88\00:02:41.42
dad. His sole asset was a
rusty old beaut. He lived in his
00:02:41.49\00:02:46.59
parents' spare bedroom and
spent most weekends helping mom
00:02:46.63\00:02:51.33
with the housework. All that
glittered gold and grandiosity
00:02:51.37\00:02:56.97
had turned to ash. But
Greg Lesvada is not alone in his
00:02:57.01\00:03:02.14
pride, greed, and craving
for excessive admiration and
00:03:02.18\00:03:07.28
attention. Although an extreme
example, in a way he typifies
00:03:07.32\00:03:12.89
our growing self-obsession.
That's the trend in our society.
00:03:12.92\00:03:18.46
From attention-seeking
celebrities to digital over
00:03:18.49\00:03:23.67
sharing, the obsession of
presenting the right image on
00:03:23.70\00:03:27.80
Facebook to preoccupation with
selfies and the boom in cosmetic
00:03:27.84\00:03:33.61
surgery, narcissistic behavior
is all around us. It's as if
00:03:33.64\00:03:39.38
we're living through a
narcissism epidemic. It's all
00:03:39.41\00:03:42.72
"look at me, look at me. " Tell
me, how worried should we be
00:03:42.75\00:03:48.19
about our growing self-obsession
I mean, why are we becoming so
00:03:48.22\00:03:53.63
narcissistic? And what, if
anything, can we do about it?
00:03:53.66\00:03:58.70
Well we can learn a lot
from an ancient king with a very
00:03:58.73\00:04:03.71
modern problem. Nebuchadnezzar
was the greatest king on earth
00:04:03.77\00:04:09.18
and he had every reason to be
proud of his achievements. From
00:04:09.24\00:04:13.92
his luxurious palaces in the
most beautiful city in the world
00:04:13.95\00:04:18.62
Babylon, he ruled over the
biggest empire that the world
00:04:18.65\00:04:23.76
had ever seen. And he had
built it all himself. Back then,
00:04:23.79\00:04:28.23
because there was so much
confusion about what to believe
00:04:28.26\00:04:32.63
in, he ended up essentially just
believing in himself. It was all
00:04:32.67\00:04:38.14
me, me, me. This is the story
of his struggle to accept that
00:04:38.17\00:04:44.98
he wasn't the center of the
universe. It climaxes with the
00:04:45.01\00:04:50.92
king in a field eating grass
like a cow, completely mad.
00:04:50.95\00:04:56.22
But it has a good ending. So
join me on a visit to ancient
00:04:56.26\00:05:01.03
Babylon to see what we modern
people could learn from a great
00:05:01.06\00:05:05.80
self-obsessed warrior king.
00:05:05.83\00:05:08.57

00:05:08.60\00:05:28.42
Between 1870 and 1930 a
seismic shift took place across
00:05:28.46\00:05:33.50
the western world. Since
the fall of the Roman empire the
00:05:33.53\00:05:38.50
world view which had dominated
the societies and cultures of
00:05:38.53\00:05:41.90
the west had been essentially
Christian, but now it was
00:05:41.94\00:05:47.24
replaced by a different world
view, that of secular humanism.
00:05:47.28\00:05:51.58
Now secular humanism is the
belief that the only things that
00:05:51.61\00:05:55.68
the only things that can exist
and have importance are those
00:05:55.72\00:05:59.72
that can be measured
and observed by people.
00:05:59.75\00:06:03.26
The Christian God, therefore,
does not and cannot exist
00:06:03.29\00:06:06.86
according to this philosophy.
Secular humanism is at the very
00:06:06.90\00:06:11.83
heart of the movement of our
society's move towards atheism.
00:06:11.90\00:06:16.81
The philosophical roots
of secular humanism were
00:06:16.84\00:06:21.01
established by thinkers in
the mid-19th century. The very
00:06:21.04\00:06:25.61
foundations of our society were
shaken in the years from 1914
00:06:25.65\00:06:29.88
with the outbreak of World War
One and it's horrors and then
00:06:29.92\00:06:34.66
instead of ushering in a global
era of prosperity, the world was
00:06:34.69\00:06:39.39
plunged into the Great
Depression in 1929 and into the
00:06:39.43\00:06:43.53
1930s. At the same time, through
science and education humanity
00:06:43.57\00:06:49.44
was succeeding in transforming
the lives of millions. For many
00:06:49.50\00:06:54.71
people science and man-made
inventions were humanity's hope
00:06:54.74\00:07:00.32
for the future. So that's where
they put their faith. For many
00:07:00.35\00:07:05.89
people the old ways of
understanding the world
00:07:05.92\00:07:09.32
didn't seem to work anymore. So
what do you do when there is so
00:07:09.39\00:07:13.13
much confusion around you and
you don't know what to believe?
00:07:13.16\00:07:16.90
You believe in
yourself. Whatever you say goes.
00:07:16.93\00:07:21.44
You become the center of
the universe. You're all that
00:07:21.50\00:07:25.14
matters. After all the essence
of secular humanism is that man
00:07:25.17\00:07:30.31
is the measure of all things.
This is the background to our
00:07:30.35\00:07:34.88
mounting epidemic of self-
obsession. What's the solution
00:07:34.92\00:07:39.45
to this narcissistic attitude
that's permeating our society?
00:07:39.49\00:07:44.43
Can anything be done about it?
Well we can learn a lot from an
00:07:44.46\00:07:48.93
ancient king, Nebuchadnezzar,
who struggled with this very
00:07:48.96\00:07:54.77
modern problem. In the first
part of the sixth century B.C.
00:07:54.80\00:08:00.18
King Nebuchadnezzar ruled over
the greatest empire on earth. It
00:08:00.21\00:08:05.55
stretched from the borders
of Egypt across to the Gulf of
00:08:05.58\00:08:08.85
Persia. His armies had marched
victorious across the then-known
00:08:08.88\00:08:13.52
world. He had built the
greatest city on earth, the city
00:08:13.56\00:08:18.63
of Babylon. He had every reason
to be proud of himself. The
00:08:18.66\00:08:23.70
religion of Babylon was
polytheistic, which means that
00:08:23.73\00:08:26.97
they worshiped many gods.
We know that they worshiped at
00:08:27.00\00:08:30.17
least 2400 different gods and
that is just what we know about.
00:08:30.21\00:08:35.31
There were probably many
more. But during his conquest,
00:08:35.34\00:08:41.15
Nebuchadnezzar had come across
this very unusual God, the God
00:08:41.18\00:08:45.59
of the people of Judah. This was
a strange God because he claimed
00:08:45.62\00:08:49.99
that he was the only true God,
that basically no other gods
00:08:50.03\00:08:54.96
existed apart from him. This
was something unheard of back in
00:08:55.03\00:08:59.93
Nebuchadnezzar's day.
And there was something else.
00:08:59.97\00:09:03.74
Nebuchadnezzar had completely
conquered Judah in his third and
00:09:03.77\00:09:09.94
final raid in 586 B.C. That
year after besieging the capital
00:09:09.98\00:09:14.98
Jerusalem he had broken through
and destroyed the city and its
00:09:15.02\00:09:20.06
temple. There was utter chaos as
his soldiers ransacked and luted
00:09:20.09\00:09:24.66
the city. They captured most of
the inhabitants and carried them
00:09:24.69\00:09:29.26
off as slaves. The common belief
back then was that if your
00:09:29.30\00:09:34.20
nation defeated another nation,
it meant that your gods were
00:09:34.24\00:09:38.87
stronger than the gods of
the defeated nation. So how dare
00:09:38.91\00:09:43.35
Judah's God claim that he was
the only one and that Babylon's
00:09:43.38\00:09:47.78
gods didn't even exist.
But Nebuchadnezzar has actually
00:09:47.82\00:09:52.59
learned quite a lot about
the God of Judah in the last 35
00:09:52.62\00:09:57.33
years or so. You see he'd become
friends with one of the slaves
00:09:57.36\00:10:01.50
that he had captured and taken
from Judah during his first
00:10:01.53\00:10:05.53
campaign in 605 B.C. The slave's
name was Daniel. Nebuchadnezzar
00:10:05.57\00:10:11.47
liked Daniel. He made him one of
his chief advisors. But Daniel
00:10:11.51\00:10:16.71
kept confusing and challenging
him. Not only did he refuse to
00:10:16.75\00:10:21.55
conform and worship the gods
of Babylon, but he stubbornly
00:10:21.58\00:10:26.65
kept telling him about the
one true God. Nebuchadnezzar
00:10:26.69\00:10:31.66
recognized and acknowledged this
true God, but after a while he
00:10:31.69\00:10:36.20
fell back into his old ways
of pride and self-obsession.
00:10:36.23\00:10:41.34
Nebuchadnezzar decided that he
would build a gigantic statue of
00:10:41.37\00:10:46.14
himself for everyone to worship.
But even then, the great God of
00:10:46.17\00:10:50.85
Daniel found a way to remind him
that he was much more powerful
00:10:50.91\00:10:55.55
and bigger than the king.
It wasn't so easy to ignore
00:10:55.58\00:10:59.92
Daniel's God. Now in 569 B.C.
Nebuchadnezzar had been king for
00:10:59.95\00:11:06.83
35 years and now he has another
dream. You can find it recorded
00:11:06.90\00:11:12.40
in the fourth chapter of the
Bible book of Daniel. In fact,
00:11:12.43\00:11:17.24
this chapter could be one of
the most fascinating in all the
00:11:17.27\00:11:21.74
Bible because it wasn't written
by a prophet or anything like
00:11:21.78\00:11:26.21
that, rather the whole
chapter was actually written by
00:11:26.25\00:11:30.45
Nebuchadnezzar, king of the
Babylonian empire himself. This
00:11:30.49\00:11:34.62
is the message that the king
wanted to share with everyone
00:11:34.66\00:11:38.79
in his empire
including Daniel and his scribe.
00:11:38.83\00:11:43.77
What's especially interesting
about this is that he's echoing
00:12:03.42\00:12:08.86
the words of the prophet Daniel
when he had interpreted the
00:12:08.89\00:12:13.29
dream of the great metal statue
years before. The whole point of
00:12:13.33\00:12:18.57
that dream had been that
Nebuchadnezzar had to accept
00:12:18.60\00:12:22.60
that the most high God ruled
over the affairs of men and that
00:12:22.64\00:12:26.98
Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom would
not last forever, because in the
00:12:27.01\00:12:32.21
end only God's kingdom would
rule. It's taken him a long time
00:12:32.25\00:12:37.39
but something has happened
that has finally brought
00:12:37.42\00:12:40.26
Nebuchadnezzar to accept it and
he's going to tell us all about
00:12:40.29\00:12:44.49
it. He continues...
00:12:44.53\00:12:47.00
Just like as it happened with
his first dream of the statue
00:13:20.80\00:13:26.20
all the king's wise men were
unable to interpret the meaning
00:13:26.23\00:13:31.84
of the dream until Daniel comes
in. The king then describes the
00:13:31.87\00:13:37.48
dream to Daniel. Here
it is in his own words.
00:13:37.51\00:13:40.92
When the king had finished
telling Daniel this dream he saw
00:14:49.48\00:14:55.72
the look on Daniel's face and it
wasn't good news. He told Daniel
00:14:55.79\00:15:01.13
to pull no punches, to be
completely honest with him about
00:15:01.16\00:15:05.53
the meaning of the dream. And so
the king said, Belteshazzar, do
00:15:05.57\00:15:11.34
not let the dream or it's
meaning alarm you and so Daniel
00:15:11.37\00:15:15.38
began to explain
the dream to the king.
00:15:15.41\00:15:18.45
Nebuchadnezzar seems to have
taken this dream seriously. He
00:16:24.71\00:16:30.15
must have thought carefully
about his life, his self
00:16:30.19\00:16:32.95
obsession and his pride because
the events the dream foretold
00:16:32.99\00:16:37.63
did not happen until a year
later and those 12 months were
00:16:37.66\00:16:41.73
also a time of great achievement
for the king. For in them he
00:16:41.76\00:16:45.77
finally managed to conquer Egypt
the old enemy from his youth.
00:16:45.80\00:16:52.14
Finally Nebuchadnezzar was king
over the empire that he'd always
00:16:52.17\00:16:56.75
dreamt of. And not only was
the king over the biggest empire
00:16:56.78\00:17:00.98
the world had ever seen but
he also ruled over the biggest
00:17:01.02\00:17:06.52
and greatest city in the entire
world, the city of Babylon.
00:17:06.55\00:17:12.06
His father had started
its rebuilding but King
00:17:12.09\00:17:15.10
Nebuchadnezzar had made it three
times larger than it had been
00:17:15.13\00:17:19.40
before. Within the city he had
reached the Euphrates river and
00:17:19.43\00:17:23.71
surrounded the city with double
walls and even triple walls in
00:17:23.74\00:17:27.98
some places. He had built
not one, but three, palaces for
00:17:28.01\00:17:32.08
himself, one of which contained
the hanging gardens, one of the
00:17:32.11\00:17:37.59
seven wonders of the ancient
world. Not only was it a mighty
00:17:37.62\00:17:42.02
city but it was also the most
beautiful city in all the world.
00:17:42.06\00:17:47.20
It's outer walls were yellow and
its gates were glazed with blue.
00:17:47.26\00:17:52.37
His palaces were faced with
rose-colored tiles and its many
00:17:52.40\00:17:57.74
temples gleamed in dazzling
white. At the Pergamum museum
00:17:57.77\00:18:02.44
in Berlin you can see the only
part of ancient Babylon that's
00:18:02.48\00:18:06.95
still standing. You can see
the main gate. It's called the
00:18:06.98\00:18:11.45
Ishtar gate named after
the goddess of love and it was
00:18:11.49\00:18:15.92
actually built by
King Nebuchadnezzar.
00:18:15.96\00:18:20.06
Nebuchadnezzar was incredibly
proud of what he'd accomplished.
00:18:20.10\00:18:24.57
He thought that it was
due to his strength and to his
00:18:24.60\00:18:28.80
intelligence. In fact, the
king was so proud that he even
00:18:28.84\00:18:32.71
stamped the bricks of his
new buildings with his name and
00:18:32.74\00:18:37.25
boastful claims about himself.
You see, Nebuchadnezzar wanted
00:18:37.28\00:18:41.75
to make sure that he would
never be erased from history
00:18:41.78\00:18:45.49
like other mighty kings of the
ancient world and all of this
00:18:45.52\00:18:49.06
fits perfectly with the picture
that we get from the Bible
00:18:49.09\00:18:53.29
about what King Nebuchadnezzar
was actually like; totally self
00:18:53.33\00:18:58.07
obsessed and filled with pride.
Because of his pride the book
00:18:58.10\00:19:02.80
of Daniel goes on to say
that everything that the dream
00:19:02.84\00:19:06.71
described happened to King
Nebuchadnezzar. One day he was
00:19:06.74\00:19:10.55
walking on the roof of one
of his palaces admiring the city
00:19:10.58\00:19:14.08
and feeling pleased with himself
and this is what he said:
00:19:14.12\00:19:17.62
And immediately he heard a voice
come from heaven that said to
00:19:26.46\00:19:30.57
him...
00:19:30.60\00:19:56.73
And from that moment
Nebuchadnezzar went mad.
00:19:56.76\00:20:01.30
Yes he went stark raving mad. He
had to be driven away from the
00:20:01.33\00:20:07.10
city and he started living like
a wild animal. He lived outdoors
00:20:07.14\00:20:11.14
His hair and nails
00:20:11.17\00:20:12.54
grew long and he ate grass
like a cow. Now it's absolutely
00:20:12.57\00:20:17.91
fascinating that a rare find
in a British museum corroborates
00:20:17.95\00:20:22.28
the Biblical account of the
madness of King Nebuchadnezzar:
00:20:22.32\00:20:26.55
The tablet is broken so the
text is incomplete, however, the
00:20:26.62\00:20:31.59
tablet plainly
00:20:31.63\00:20:32.96
refers to King Nebuchadnezzar
and it says that his life
00:20:32.99\00:20:36.63
appears to be of no value
to him, that his orders are
00:20:36.67\00:20:40.30
contradictory, that he doesn't
listen to his advisors. He is
00:20:40.34\00:20:44.94
neglecting his family and he
isn't performing his duties as
00:20:44.97\00:20:49.71
king. Something is seriously
wrong with the king and no one
00:20:49.74\00:20:54.28
seems to be able to help him.
Now you don't need much of an
00:20:54.32\00:20:59.12
imagination to see how this fits
perfectly with what events are
00:20:59.15\00:21:03.63
described in the Bible book of
Daniel. So let's go back to the
00:21:03.66\00:21:08.10
story. After the seven years
that had been prophesied in the
00:21:08.13\00:21:12.53
dream notice what
Nebuchadnezzar says:
00:21:12.57\00:21:16.54
The king only lived for two more
years after the events of his
00:21:28.12\00:21:31.85
dream were all fulfilled. He
never left strong heirs to rule
00:21:31.92\00:21:35.62
his kingdom. His rule
was succeeded by a series of
00:21:35.66\00:21:39.73
incompetent leaders as his only
son had been assassinated. His
00:21:39.79\00:21:45.13
kingdom never did last forever.
And I guess there's a lesson
00:21:45.17\00:21:51.01
here about how God is in control
and how God's kingdom will last
00:21:51.04\00:21:56.85
forever. And that's a good
lesson. It's one of the lessons
00:21:56.88\00:22:00.65
that God wanted Nebuchadnezzar
to learn. But there's another
00:22:00.68\00:22:04.39
lesson here for us today.
Nebuchadnezzar had a problem
00:22:04.42\00:22:09.22
with pride. He was self-obsessed
He was a narcissist. Now he had
00:22:09.26\00:22:13.93
every reason to be proud by the
standards of the world. Look at
00:22:14.00\00:22:18.57
all his conquests. Look at all
his wealth. And he was sure that
00:22:18.60\00:22:23.17
he was right about everything.
He was the center of his
00:22:23.20\00:22:28.01
universe. But the astonishing
thing to us is how much God
00:22:28.04\00:22:32.78
still loved Nebuchadnezzar. Yes
even though he didn't believe in
00:22:32.81\00:22:38.02
God and was a cruel ruler by our
standards and, yes, he was self
00:22:38.05\00:22:43.32
obsessed, but the God of heaven
loved him and patiently revealed
00:22:43.36\00:22:48.56
himself to King Nebuchadnezzar.
He did it through Daniel and his
00:22:48.60\00:22:53.37
friends. He sent him dreams and
troubled his conscience and when
00:22:53.40\00:22:57.81
it became necessary he allowed
misfortune to come into his life
00:22:57.84\00:23:02.54
and shake him up and change
his world view. For most people
00:23:02.58\00:23:07.28
seeing the truth about life is
a process and sometimes a long
00:23:07.32\00:23:12.19
one and so it was with king
Nebuchadnezzar. He struggled to
00:23:12.22\00:23:16.46
accept the existence of God
and become a believer in the one
00:23:16.49\00:23:20.96
true God of heaven. However,
we do know, as the king wrote
00:23:21.00\00:23:25.27
himself, that he came to
recognize God and acknowledge
00:23:25.30\00:23:29.47
his existence and power. But
merely believing that God exists
00:23:29.50\00:23:34.81
is not enough. You have to trust
him enough to invite him into
00:23:34.84\00:23:39.95
your life. You have to come to
the point where you accept that
00:23:39.98\00:23:45.05
without him in your life
it's hopeless, but with him
00:23:45.09\00:23:49.22
everything is possible. And
this is the answer to our modern
00:23:49.26\00:23:54.20
problem of self-obsession and
pride. We've got to recognize
00:23:54.23\00:23:59.10
that there is an almighty
God who is the center of the
00:23:59.13\00:24:03.61
universe and he's the God
who accepts us and loves us just
00:24:03.64\00:24:08.08
as we are. We don't have
to prove ourselves or make
00:24:08.11\00:24:12.28
ourselves look important. We
already are important because he
00:24:12.31\00:24:17.65
loves us and thinks we're
important enough to sacrifice
00:24:17.69\00:24:21.69
everything for us, even his only
Son Jesus. Now we don't know
00:24:21.72\00:24:27.40
whether King Nebuchadnezzar
came to that point. But I'm not
00:24:27.43\00:24:33.03
thinking only
about Nebuchadnezzar now.
00:24:33.07\00:24:36.81
I'm thinking about you. How has
the God of heaven been working
00:24:36.84\00:24:42.01
in your life? How far along have
you come? Pride is a tough thing
00:24:42.04\00:24:47.18
to break through and changing
a world view can be incredibly
00:24:47.22\00:24:51.72
difficult because we depend on
it for everything. But look how
00:24:51.75\00:24:56.42
loving and patient God was
with Nebuchadnezzar. Look at how
00:24:56.49\00:25:01.26
loving and patient he's been
with you. God leads each one of
00:25:01.30\00:25:06.00
us in different ways. If you
were to ask God to continue to
00:25:06.03\00:25:10.37
lead you, if you want to know
him better, why don't you invite
00:25:10.41\00:25:14.71
him into your life
right now as we pray:
00:25:14.74\00:25:17.98
Dear heavenly Father, as we look
back on our lives, we recognize
00:25:18.01\00:25:23.35
that we haven't been alone and
that although we haven't always
00:25:23.39\00:25:28.66
acknowledged you you've always
been there with us. Thank you
00:25:28.69\00:25:33.13
for patiently leading us through
the circumstances of our lives.
00:25:33.16\00:25:38.10
Thank you for gently revealing
yourself to us. Help us to grow
00:25:38.13\00:25:42.67
from where we are today to know
you more fully and to have your
00:25:42.70\00:25:47.58
joy and peace in our lives. And
we are confident that at the end
00:25:47.61\00:25:52.45
of our incredible journey in
this world that you will bring
00:25:52.51\00:25:56.25
us with joy into
your everlasting kingdom.
00:25:56.28\00:25:59.75
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
00:25:59.79\00:26:06.73

earth and God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes.
00:28:00.81\00:28:04.81
There shall be no more death nor
sorrow nor crying. There shall
00:28:04.85\00:28:08.68
be no more pain for the
former things have passed away.
