Some days are filled with the best reading and this is one of these days.
Nebuchadnezzar has always fascinated me. He was so powerful and also really intimidating. This whole thing where he demanded that the wise men tell him the dream that he was dreaming or they would be put to death exemplifies this attitude. He was a hard man. This gives more of a chance for Daniel to shine through with the Lord's true power of foretelling the future. This dream and interpretation is so powerful, because the dates of these books can so accurately be established through the dead sea scrolls. I heard a man say the other day that the most powerful thing to show nonbelievers is prophesy and this one really brings that home.
