Who was Nebuchadnezzar and why, of all the referrences
to him in the bible, why choose Daniel?
Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of the Babylonian Empire, was
the epitomy of evil. He would dine on the heart torn from a living
rabbit, and it was his army that brutally destroyed Jerusalem, burned
the Temple of Solomon, and exiled the surviving remnant of Jews
to Babylon.
Yet, in the book of Daniel we get a different view
of him. He was given a prophetic dream, that Daniel deciphered,
showing all of human history. He went through one of the all time
awesome morph scenes, and ultimately, came to acknowledge God's
hand in his life and history. |
