Chapter 4 of the Book of Daniel reveals a king, who after attempting to elevate himself to the status of a god and suffering the complete embarrassment of a failed attempt to kill 3 innocent young Jewish lads for doing nothing more than worshipping their Creator instead of worshipping Nebuchadnezzar, now finds himself once again troubled by a dream. This time the dream focuses on King Nebuchadnezzar and his arrogant and prideful life that is completely out of synch with the God of the universe. Fortunately for the king he is shown the grace of Almighty God and hears of that grace through the prophet Daniel. Even though Daniel, through the interpretation of the dream, provided plenty of detail as to what would happen if the king did not repent and submit to the sovereign will of the Lord, Nebuchadnezzar continues in his sinful and prideful ways and actually suffer 7 years of living a life of complete insanity. After his experiences of living among the animals and acting just like an animal, the king finally submits to the Lord and acknowledges Him as the sovereign King of the universe. What a telling chapter that reveals the depths to which rebellion from a Holy God can take us – a lesson we should all take to heart.
