study of Nebuchadnezzar

[brinny]

a Bible teacher mentioned the "conversion" of Nebuchadnezzar this morning....the "what?!!" this prompted me to delve into it. Found this in a search. A statement from the page caught my eye:

Being impressed with God isn’t the same as being converted.

I couldn't agree more.

Daniel 4 - The Fall and Rise of Nebuchadnezzar

Supposedly, Nebuchadnezzer is a symbolic figure made up of parts representing different kingdoms in the book of Daniel.

interesting.....he was not a living, breathing human being?

 

[RosaryChaplet9]

I think it is a statue of head a gold and body of silver representing the 4 different kingdoms

 

[brinny]

could you share more on that...i apologize..i only recently have taken an interest in the Old Testament and those spoken of in it....it's still very difficult to understand for me...

thank you kindly.

Here is a picture from the Bible:

Thank you. Re: Nebuchadnezzar as a symbolic figure....was he being used as this symbolic figure by God because he was seen as a symbol of evil in real life by God? Wondering if after all is said and done, Nebuchadnezzar was anti-Christ (anti-the Living God)?

I think it is actually a visionary snake or divine python

 

[brinny]

what are they?

 

[RosaryChaplet9]

In English - they means a group or a few individuals.
