Daniel and the Werewolf King.

Today, Pastor Michael is continuing his series on Daniel.  And King Nebuchadnezzar is having another of his dreams…this time about a big tree and a ‘watcher’ (angel).  Daniel interprets the dream and the news isn’t particularly good…Daniel interprets the dream as the tree representing Babylon and its ultimate fall.

Fast forward a year and the King has seen nothing happen and he feels embolden by how very rich his kingdom is, by his own design, through no help, apparently, from God.  Yet, a voice comes down from Heaven, telling the King that the kingdom will fall but the King still feels the kingdom is successful because of his own design.

Judgement however, comes quickly. Nebuchadnezzar is banished from his kingdom, has to eat grass, and his nails become like claws.  The man who had everything and his pride knocked him down. 

Seven years pass and Nebuchadnezzar looks up to heaven and his understanding returns. Only when he acknowledges the Lord, does he finally understand.  He discovers that everything is a gift from God; from Him and for Him.

Verses can be found today in Daniel, Chapter Four (4).
