So King Nebuchadnezzar made a law that no one could speak against the God of Israel.Īll of these were steps toward knowing God, but Nebuchadnezzar did not yet understand that God was the ONLY God and that He was in control of EVERYTHING. Nebuchadnezzar saw that the Lord would step into a blazing furnace to be with those who trust in Him. In the fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar saw that the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego was faithful He could do what none of his “gods” could do - God could rescue His people. So King Nebuchadnezzar admitted that Daniel’s God was the best of all the “gods.”įinally, last week we studied Daniel 3.
The King learned that God is wise and He reveals truth. Through this dream, King Nebuchadnezzar learned that only God’s Kingdom will last forever. Daniel made it very clear that the dream and the interpretation had come for the one true God. Then, in Daniel 2, the Lord gave Nebuchadnezzar a dream that only Daniel could interpret. So King Nebuchadnezzar honored God’s men. King Nebuchadnezzar found that these Israelites were ten times wiser than all of the His other wise men. Because they obeyed God and depended on Him, God gave them great wisdom. In Daniel 1, Daniel and his friends decided ahead of time not to disobey God by eating the King’s food. By watching the relationship that these men had with the living God, King Nebuchadnezzar learned more and more about their God. God saw to it that Nebuchadnezzar’s path crossed with some of His few faithful followers, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Jeremiah 25:11, Daniel 1:2). However, God had a plan to reveal Himself to King Nebuchadnezzar. Their King, Nebuchadnezzar (Neh-byoo-kuhd-NEHZ-er), was a very powerful man who also worshipped false gods and idols. They worshipped many false gods and idols. The Babylonians did not worship the one true God.
(You may want to say: It’s about 2/3 from the front of your Bible.) Keep your Bibles open there.įor the last several weeks, we have studied the Israelites as they were kidnapped and taken to Babylon. Say: Everyone open your Bibles to the book of Daniel. Props: A modern-day letter, signed at the bottom.
Main Point: We will have peace when we understand that God is in control of everything.Īt the end of that time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven.
