Peace be multiplied to you.
It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me. Dan 3:26Psa 66:16Act 22:3-16Act 26:9-16Jos 7:19Psa 51:14Psa 71:18Psa 92:1-2
How great are his signs! Psa 145:13Dan 2:44Isa 25:1Dan 7:14Rev 11:151Ti 1:17Dan 4:34-35Dan 6:26-27
How mighty are his wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
His dominion is from generation to generation.
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace. Isa 47:7-81Th 5:2-3Ezk 28:17Ezk 28:2-5Ezk 29:3Isa 56:12Jer 48:11Luk 12:19-20 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. Dan 2:1Dan 2:28-29Dan 5:10Dan 5:5-6Dan 7:28Gen 41:1Job 7:13-14 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. Dan 2:2Gen 41:7-8Isa 47:12-14Isa 8:19 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in; and I told them the dream, but they didn’t make known to me its interpretation. Isa 44:25Dan 2:72Ti 3:8-9Dan 2:1-2Dan 2:10Dan 2:27Gen 41:8Jer 27:9-10 But at last, Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told the dream before him, saying, Dan 1:7Dan 4:18Dan 5:14Dan 2:11Dan 4:9Dan 5:11-12Isa 46:1Isa 63:11
“Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation. Dan 2:48Dan 5:11Dan 4:8Dan 1:20Dan 4:5Ezk 28:3Gen 41:38Jdg 7:13-15 These were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great. Dan 4:5Jer 12:2Ezk 31:3-18Isa 10:33-34Psa 37:35-36Dan 4:20-26 The tree grew and was strong. Its height reached to the sky and its sight to the end of all the earth. Dan 4:21-22Deu 9:1Mat 11:23Gen 11:4 Its leaves were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. Luk 13:19Ezk 17:23Ezk 31:6-7Lam 4:20Jer 27:6-7Mat 13:32Mrk 13:32
“I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a holy watcher came down from the sky. Deu 33:2Dan 7:1Dan 8:13Dan 4:23Dan 4:5Jud 1:14Psa 89:7Zec 14:5 He cried aloud and said this: ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches. Mat 3:10Dan 4:23Ezk 31:12-13Dan 3:4Dan 4:12Luk 13:7-9Luk 3:9Mat 7:19 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth. Job 14:7-9Dan 4:25-27Ezk 29:14-15 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him. Dan 4:23Dan 4:25Isa 6:10Rev 12:14Dan 11:13Dan 12:7Dan 4:31-33Dan 7:25
“‘The sentence is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’ Dan 2:21Dan 4:251Sa 2:8Psa 75:6-7Dan 5:18-21Jer 27:5-7Psa 113:7-81Co 1:28
“This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.” Dan 5:15Gen 41:8Dan 4:7-9Dan 5:8Gen 41:151Ki 14:2-3Amo 3:7Dan 2:26-28
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream or the interpretation trouble you.” Dan 7:28Dan 8:271Sa 3:172Sa 18:31-32Dan 10:16-17Dan 4:24Dan 4:4-5Jer 4:19
Belteshazzar answered, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries. The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, whose height reached to the sky and its sight to all the earth; Dan 4:10-12Ezk 31:3Ezk 31:16 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation— it is you, O king, that have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth. 2Sa 12:7Dan 2:37-38Jer 27:6-8Dan 5:18-23Gen 11:4Gen 28:12Mat 14:4Psa 108:4
“Whereas the king saw a holy watcher coming down from the sky and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’ Dan 5:21Dan 4:13-16
“This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king: Psa 107:40Isa 46:10-11Job 40:11-12Dan 4:17Isa 14:24-27Isa 23:9Job 1:12-19Job 20:29 You will be driven from men and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You will be made to eat grass as oxen, and will be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will. Dan 4:17Jer 27:5Psa 83:18Dan 2:21Psa 106:20Job 30:3-8Psa 75:7Dan 5:21-31 Whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure to you after you know that Heaven rules. Dan 4:15Dan 2:37Dan 4:23Luk 15:18Luk 15:21Mat 21:20Mat 5:34 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.” Isa 55:6-7Jon 3:9Act 8:22Ezk 18:27-32Jas 4:8-10Luk 11:41Pro 16:6Eph 4:28
All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar. Num 23:19Zec 1:6Mat 24:35Pro 10:24 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon. Rev 2:211Pe 3:202Pe 3:152Pe 3:9-10Ecc 8:11Gen 6:3 The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?” Pro 16:18Ezk 29:3Isa 10:8-15Luk 14:11Rev 17:5Rev 18:101Ch 29:12-141Pe 5:5
While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky, saying, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: ‘The kingdom has departed from you. Act 9:3-5Luk 12:20Rev 16:71Sa 13:141Sa 15:23Dan 4:24Dan 4:34Dan 5:28 You shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’” Dan 5:21Jer 27:5Job 12:18-21Pro 8:15-16Exo 8:10Exo 9:29Jos 4:24Dan 4:14-17
This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; and his body was wet with the dew of the sky until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. Dan 4:25Dan 4:32Dan 5:21Dan 5:5Isa 30:14Job 20:51Th 5:2
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever, Rev 4:10Psa 145:13Dan 12:7Dan 2:44Jer 10:10Dan 4:32Dan 6:26Dan 4:26
for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and his kingdom from generation to generation.
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; Job 42:2Psa 135:6Psa 115:3Rom 11:33-36Isa 40:15-17Eph 1:11Isa 43:13Mat 11:25-26
and he does according to his will in the army of heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and no one can stop his hand,
or ask him, “What are you doing?”
At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me. Dan 4:34Pro 22:42Ch 33:12-13Dan 4:15-16Dan 4:32Mat 6:331Sa 2:302Co 4:17 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
