In Dan 4:7, there is no special or hidden meaning contained there. It is simply an account of Nebuchadnezzar & his quest to find the interpretation of his dream. His wise men couldn't help him so he called for Daniel, who gave him the meaning by God's help. Some groups tend to 'spiritualize' portions of the Word, that ought not to be done. E.g. the pebbles that David collected to be used in the slaying of Goliath: each pebble has a special meaning and significance. This, to me, is absurd and outrageous.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.... NOTE in 27 above, Daniel is keenly aware of the results of sinful actions of the King. These actions had a very negative affect on the personal life of the King. 2020 is no different because having a lot or little and leaving Jehovah /GOD out of our plans shall sooner or later rob one of tranquility /the peace that only GOD can give. Jesus is very familiar with evil actions such as in this verse above, therefore JESUS said, see Mathew 11:28-30.... SALVATION by JOHN 3:16-21 open the door.
Like so many of us that have been blessed and refuse to acknowledge the poor, abused, and oppressed. Your pride will make the Lord a base you. If your truly a child of God!
God took control of The Kings Life from the beginning by putting Daniel in His court. The Chaldeans were the smartest around in that day and spoke Armenian; later on, some of them were Christianized by the disciples and their followers, these believers are very persecuted even to this day.
The King put out a decree that the subjects of His Northern Kingdom would know the Mosiac law.
Hi Mark; The Hebrew word translated into our English King James Bible as, rumour, is more accurately, something heard; as an announcement, news, report, etc. Another example is found in the place where it talks about the "fame" of Jesus spreading... the word in Greek is better, "the hearing of Him" was spreading... Compare Obadiah 1 with Daniel 4:13
Praise God, who releases understanding as he pleases, that king must have gone what we call today as mental illness. God decides what is good for us, God decides what to do with us to bring us closer to him, closer to each other and humble us together for His glory. To bring back the ultimate glory to Himself. The king Nebuchadnezzar is a perfect example, thank God who keeps us safe.
THIS SCRIPTURE HELP ME TO EXAMINE MY SELF AND TO HELP OTHERS TO EXAMINE THERE SELF ,TO KNOW WHO GOD IS AND WE ART TO HUMBLE OUR SELF ,AND TO ALLOWED GOD TO EXAULT US IN EVERY WAY.
I looked up "Esdras" in Wikipedia, since I didn't want to spend the time actually reading in it; and what I read, I didn't like. It apparently has some so-called visions of Ezra, and him asking questions of God; which in my opinion don't match up to the kind of man of God Ezra really was. For example; how could he think that misery and punishment is unjust for a people who obstinately refuse God?
The Books of Esdras sheds more Light on this prophecy. Particularly 2 Esdras chapter 12 ...ΒΆ...Comfort me then, and shew me thy servant the interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.
9 For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times.
10 And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the vision:
11 The eagle, whom thou sawest
The book of Dan. IS prophetic, as it tells of the future to and including Rev. Just as Eze. is prophetic. Both of these books tell of some of the same events as Rev., albeit in different wording.
We are reminded in this chapter that we should be careful to give thanks and praise to God for all things because it is only through God that we have accomplished and obtained everything that we have. God owns everything and He gives to whomsoever and when He pleases.
THE BOOK OF DANIEL
This book takes its name not from the author, who is actually unknown, but from its hero, who was allegedly among the first Jews deported to Babylon, where he lived at least until 538 B.C. Strictly speaking, the book does not belong to the prophetic writings but rather to a distinctive type of literature known as apocalyptic,and of which it is an early specimen. Apocalyptic writing.
Be humble and Praise God all the time; before we are in real trouble. God told us in the Word not to trust man and I made the mistake of not only trusting man and letting him squander our family of our Blessing. I trust God to bring us out of this situation. I have prayed and humbled myself. I trust God and ask he hear my prayers. I pray for the ill and Unsaved Trust God watch him Bless All.
Glory be the God he will allow us to be disobey to let us see our selves then he will show us who he really is and when he put us threw some troubled times we will come to our selves and praise God sometimes God have to allow us to go threw some hard time because we are unruly and we want to do what we want to do so we pay the price for disrespecting God he knows how to bring us back to him Amen
Daniel chapter 4,is a testimony of king Nebuchadnezzar given by himself.His personal encounter with Jehovah God Almighty, after he disobeyed the warning from God through His servant Daniel.Its about out right disobedience to divine warnings or instructions. We still have men who care not about what God says concerning eternity,immoral living and pride.No man's status can limit God's hand.
God hates the proud and those who are full of pride will fall always man must always give glory to God if we prosper in this world we should always remember to give God the glory for HE is the one who gives us the ability to work and build and God is the one who gives each one of us are own unique talents so to GOD be the glory. We must learn to walk in humility. Like Jesus said " He who exalts himself shall be humbled and he who humbles himself shall be exalted. "
This chapter is powerful in that it shows a puffed up person being brought down by his own words of what he thought he made or accomplished. God humbled him until he could see repentance and asking for God to forgive him correct the errs of his ways, only then was he restored. The moral of the chapter is never think of yourself more highly than you ought.
This chapter reminds us that Lord is God above all God, We must not mistreat children of God thinking that no one can rescue them . Also to acknowledge him in every situation whether good or bad .
This teaches us all about honouring God as well as giving Him all praise n glory. Some times God will let u go thru difficulties n hardiship coz u ave failed to give back to Him thanx, honour n glory. But once u recognise He is God of all gods n KING of all Kings He will restore u as He did to nebuchardnezar. God does not share His glory with anybody. Amen.
This chapter teaches us to remember God and praise him for each and every achievement in our lives. It also shows us that the God we serve is the God of the second chance for those who diligently seek him and humble themselves before his throne. His punishment was too severe in Nebuchadnezzar 's life, but his mercy, grace and love to this fallen king increased when he asked for forgiveness and glorified Him. God is love, slow to anger and deep in love.
Notice that Daniel is called Belteshazzar. This is not his real name, not how he should be recognized. He is called according to the terms of a false God. He is not viewed in truth but falsely as they think he is, not as he really is. He is only viewed as a man that works magic, that is intelligent and foretells the future. He refuses to recognize Daniels belief in ONE God by saying he has the spirit of the holy gods. Verse 32 talks about how the 7 year tribulation will come with WW3. Nebuchadnezzar will be hated, driven from men. His dwelling will be with the beasts of the field is symbolic meaning he will be invaded by men, beasts, armed with weapons of war. When a soldier is shot down his mouth is in the grass like oxen.
I think we are human being we do mistakes but we should be like children,because when a child once burnt with fire, he/she will never play with that very thing again.
Here once you understand and do God's way,your GLORY will be restored.Be blessed.
The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? Whenever man receives power and honor and riches, he forgets God is the one who has allowed him to have these things. People forget who is their health and strength. Instead of Nebuchadnezzar giving God the praise and glory for all that he had, he boasted in himself. Is this not what we do today? Instead of giving God all the praise and honor, we try to say what we've done. Without God,we can do nothing. Nebuchadnezzar quickly learned that God is all and in all. He formed us from the dust of the earth. Take up dust from the earth into your hands and **** on it - it disappears like it never existed. That is what man is - nothing. Yet, people want to boast in what they have and what all they have accomplished. But just as Nebuchadnezzar learned in a lowly and degrading way, God will bring down the lofty look of men. But what I did like about Nebuchadnezzar is once God humbled him, he then gave God all the glory and honor.
The King put out a decree that the subjects of His Northern Kingdom would know the Mosiac law.
