Daniel 4:4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace. 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
True repentance also took place in ancient Babylon, after Nebuchadnezzar was made to eat grass for 7 years. As he emerged from dwelling with the beasts of the field, he acknowledged his sin and his folly, as did the king of Nineveh. And God, who is rich in mercy, and always quick to forgive, changes his fortune and restores him to his former position, because the prerequisites stated in our first passages were fulfilled.
As the king retraced his steps, he saw, and he pointed out to all who will take heed, the reasons for his fall. Then, just like David did, he acknowledges the God of heaven, in bringing righteous judgements upon him, and Nebuchadnezzar makes a U-Turn for the better, not only confessing and forsaking his sin, but also encouraging every citizen under his jurisdiction to follow his lead.
Daniel 4:10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: 12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
