The effect is:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. If this card is Special Summoned destroy this card during the End Phase. This card cannot be targeted by any card effects. You can tribute 2 monsters to have this card gain infinite ATK. If this card attacks a monster with a lower defence than this cards attack subtract the difference as damage to your opponents life points.

Does 'By Order of the Emperor' target 'Obelisk the Tormentor's effects?

There's a few issues here. - By Order of the Emperor can only be used against a monster effect that 'activates' when the monster is Normal Summoned. Obelisk has no effects that trigger from his own or any other monster's Normal Summon. His protective effects are all continuous, and BOotE cannot be used against his Ignition Effect. - Obelisk's summon cannot be responded to. So even if he did have a Trigger that could activate when he is summoned, BOotE could not chain its effect anyway. - By Order of the Emperor does not target the monster it is used against though. It is being used against the effect (you do not 'target' effects. Divine Wrath could be used against the activated effect of an untargetable monster). So to sum up, By Order of the Emperor cannot be used against Obelisk in any way. Cards like Divine Wrath can be used against Obelisk's Ignition Effect though, they do not target Obelisk.


Can obelisk the tormentor's effect be negated by the counter trap card divine punishment?

Yes. Obelisk's protections only prevent his summon from being negated, and stops him from being targeted. Counter Traps almost never actually target anything, Divine Punishment is no exception and can chain to Obelisk's effect activation to negate it and destroy him. This means it can be taken out by cards cards that choose by a factor, such as Fissure and Smashing Ground.


Can lava Golem tribute an Egyptian god card?

Yes. An opponent's Obelisk or Ra can be tributed as cost for your Lava Golem. It is not an effect, nor does it target, which is why Obelisk is not protected from it. Ra has no protections anyway apart from during his summon.

If Obelisk the Tormentor is summoned while the field card future visions is on the field will future visions be negated by Obelisk's effect?

When Obelisk the Tormentor is Normal Summoned onto the field, the effect of Future Visions does not activate because the lore of Obelisk the Tormentor states "...When this card is Normal Summoned, the effects of Spell, Trap, Monster Card effects cannot be activated..."So in answer to your question: no, Obelisk the Tormentorwill not negate Future Visions' effect because it cannot be activated in the first place.
