“And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:”
Daniel 4:34 KJV
Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple that Solomon built and took Judah captive. Daniel, one of the captives became a senior person in his government. Daniel, being a captive, proclaimed the true God to king Nebuchadnezzar who was a megalomaniac! Eventually when Nebuchadnezzar was driven out as a beast, after seven years he came back to his senses and acknowledged the true God. Jesus has given the Church the authority to proclaim the Gospel to all the world, including megalomaniacs! He brings the people back to their senses by His mighty Holy Spirit. When Jesus rose again, he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. He Who ascended, is also He Who descended first into the lower parts of the earth. The vilest person in hell heard the Gospel. Let us be Gospel proclaimers. Let us believe our God, praise, bless and honour Him, Whose dominion is everlasting and Whose Kingdom is from generation to generation. Let the enemies of the Cross come under the footstool of the Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!
