Daniel Lesson 18: Choice: Grace or Graze {The Humbling of a King} The Caldwell Commentaries Podcast

- Religion & Spirituality
Daniel 4:19-27
Telling the most powerful man on earth he is about to be "cut down" is not the most desirable aspect of the "job description" of a prophet, who doubled as a prime minister, but that was exactly what God required of Daniel. As soon as Daniel heard Nebuchadnezzar's second God-given dream, his God-given gift of dream interpretation "kicked in," for he knew what it meant. It predicted great shame and disgrace for the king, and Daniel had come to love the king - as chapter 4 shows us.
Learn about the meaning of the great tree of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and the significance of it being cut down and trimmed, but leaving the stump with the roots in the ground. Find out the judgment, purpose, and hope of the dream and listen to Daniel give personal counsel to the king; that counsel was essentially this: "King, you have one of two choices. You can either humble yourself before the Most High God and accept His grace, or you can experience great humbling for 7 years".
What did the mighty king decide to do? Listen and find out.
