One of the most enigmatic events in modern world history is the Battle of Waterloo. It remains enigmatic right down to the characterization of the forces involved. Some regard Napoleon Bonaparte as just another Hitler, while others view him as a failed George Washington. Figuring out who the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in this contest were is by no means an easy exercise. Both sides were heavily populated with Christians, many of whom certainly prayed for protection and divine intervention in order to achieve victory for their side. In the grand scheme of things, was Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo a divine setback, or a divine victory? If it was a setback, what was lost? And if a victory, what was achieved in the way of divine support for humanity in the bigger contest with the interlopers?

We learned in a recent radio show, about the astounding level of divine protection granted to keep French Marshal Michel Ney alive, and eventually allow his escape to America where he lived out his life in peace, if not in contentment. Many, if not most, historians actually blame Ney himself for Napoleon’s French loss at Waterloo. Were there in fact decisions Ney made that could have changed the outcome of Waterloo, and arguably the course of world history, and if so, why did the divine not inspire him appropriately, while at the same time protecting his life in the most astonishing ways?

From the divine perspective, did Ney “blow it,” and make one of the biggest military mistakes in the history of warfare? If so, what are the karmic ramifications of doing your best, but still failing with some of the highest stakes imaginable?
