#3. NEB'S IMPERIAL DREAM

Young Daniel, a Jewish prince, finds himself on death-row in Babylon…unless he can tell King Nebuchadnezzar what the king dreamt last week!                                       

Fair go….how did it possibly come to this?                                                                                       
Some 800 years after Moses warned Israel, God has had enough of Israel for a while, removes His presence from their temple and hands authority over to the Babylonian Empire!   

Now this is the image that King Neb saw…

He learns thru Daniel that the head of gold represents Babylon...
which will be taken over by a kingdom of silver...
then a kingdom of bronze...
and finally will come a kingdom as strong as iron.

As history unfolded, these empires that have subjugated the Jews have proved to be: Babylon, Medio-Persia, Greece and Rome – which survives albeit fragmented today!       

What happens to the statue?   

We are going to see one day!....











“In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”


Like an onion being peeled open, we will zoom in on the details progressively revealed throughout Daniel’s lifetime…but he had to wait nearly 50 years for the next instalment.  (Hopefully you won’t!) 

That was King Neb's view but how does heaven see it?

  1. You might be thinking that modern Israel is no longer subject to Gentile authority. Not so! Israel is very dependant on support from USA as prophesied by Isaiah in ch18! Even the sacred site of the Temple Mount is under the control of the Ministry of Awqaf in Amman, Jordan.
