►Mon/Jan 27, 2014|Part Four of END TIME SERIES► Daniel 4. ''King Nebuchadnezzar Became A Beast: The Story'' (Daniel 4:1-37).
Though the Book of Daniel was written by Daniel, this Chapter was written by Nebuchadnezzar to all nations, peoples and languages at his time. Don' forget, he was the King of Babylon, the world's super-power at the time. So U can imagine the 'weight' this script he wrote carried.
The chapter is summed up like this: The King had a dream and was troubled. He consulted his magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans & soothsayers. This time, he told them the dream, yet they couldn't interpret it. So he finally consulted Daniel, who interpreted it for him. It was about a tree that grew strong & high, with fair branches on which fouls/birds perched, its fruits being meat for all, providing shade for beasts. But a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven and cried out that the tree be cut down. But the stump of its roots must be left alone, even with a band of iron & brass, in the tender grass of the field; & be wet with the dew of heaven, & his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
Daniel was astonished for an hour, after hearing the dream & wished the dream was for the King's enemies. Sadly, it was about the King; he represented the tree in the dream. He was to become mad, sent to dwell among beasts in the forest with grown finger nails like claws and hairs like eagle's feathers. On top of it, he was to eat grass. But because the stump of the tree was not removed, after 7 years, the king was to come to his normalcy & be restored to his kingdom. All these came to pass and the King from then began to praise & extol & honour the King of heaven, the Lord God Almighty; for HE ALONE WAS RIGHTEOUS IN HIS JUDGEMENT; ABLE TO BRING LOW ANYONE WHO IS PROUD.
God willing, tomorrow, we shall look at ''King Nebuchadnezzar Became A Beast: The Lessons'' (Daniel 4:1-37).
