ACEO God turns Nebuchadnezzar into a grazing beast


(C) 2006 Elton Houck "GOD TURNS KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INTO A GRAZING BEAST" How did this happen...the same way that sin overpowered Lucifer and he led a third of God's Holy angels in rebellion--PRIDE! KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR swelled up with self-concilitory overpowering pride at his supreme stature and gave not the glory to the All Mighty who establishes Kings and kingdoms and removes them like grains of sand tossed about by the roaring of a mighty ocean...In the book of Daniel you may read the story of what happened to this pagan King: "All this came upon the King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds claws. 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 honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:"
