A revelation from God will change how you feel! We live in a culture obsessed with emotions. If anyone could empathize with Daniel as he's knocked sideways by a divine dream, it's us. What he saw was powerful. He described his emotional state as "troubled," "alarmed," even "terrified." What was this shocking dream? We'll sneak up on it gradually in this message from Pastor Jim. It's called, Daniel Receives a Vision.

We see Daniel's righteousness in his preparation. We can only make sense of our lives, in many cases, when we look back. Then we see the significance of events that seemed unimportant - even random - at the time they happened. We can imagine that Daniel looked back on his career, and realized that its huge moments of crisis weren't sprung on him "out of the blue." God had given him the tools he needed, before he needed them. We're ready for the closing segment of, Daniel Aids the Kings.

It's a long way from the palace, to the pasture. Nebuchadnezzar thought he was in charge. He thought his accomplishments proved his superiority as a human being. But the Most High would prove that the king was no better than an ox, or a bird. All of "his" glory had been lent to him. Now God was calling that loan. The King of Babylon had become an object lesson for his own life. But this time he learned the lesson. Let's join Jim in Daniel 4.

The king who became a beast. Nebuchadnezzar didn't "lose his mind;" he threw it away. He forfeited his sanity when he refused to humble himself before God. As Paul would write to the Romans much later, "...since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind...." So Daniel, chapter 4 isn't just a story about one, proud king, long ago. It's the story of all of humanity. Jim will open this sermon with prayer.

"Well, I don't have a crystal ball, but...." If you could see the future - you can't, but if you could - would you change your behavior? If your glimpse of coming days frightened you, surely you'd be "scared straight," wouldn't you? The Bible tells us of a king who dreamed of his own fall - a judgment like a magnificent tree being cut down. And Nebuchadnezzar seems to have paid it no mind. We've in the 4th chapter of Daniel. Here's Jim, to conclude, Daniel Interprets a Second Dream.

Is the "spirit of the holy gods" in you? In his pagan ignorance the king of Babylon was giving Daniel a compliment. He saw something unusual in the man he called "Belteshazzar;" something astonishing. The explanation could only be supernatural. Nebuchadnezzar's praise was off-the-theological-mark, but well intended. Well, do you have a different spirit? Pastor Jim will help us apply Daniel 4 to our own lives in Part 2 of, Daniel Interprets a Second Dream.

When you're the king, you can start your letter with the "P.S." Toward the end of Nebuchadnezzar's life he wrote a proclamation. He addressed it to everyone on earth. And we find this late letter early in the book of Daniel. Even more unusually, the king put his conclusion first: that the kingdom of the "Most High God" is "an everlasting kingdom." Why this upside-down writing structure? Had the king gone mad? Here's Jim to begin a sermon called, Daniel Interprets a Second Dream.

The king thought he was holding a dedication. He had no idea! Nebuchadnezzar had commissioned a very impressive idol - all of gold - that he wanted to consecrate. But he was about to get schooled in what consecration is really all about. Three courageous men showed him - and showed all of us - that the kind of dedication that matters is the devotion of our lives to the Living God. We'll hear about that, and some implications of the King's dream, in today's episode.

There's going to be a throwdown! There was a gospel musical back in the 70's called, "Your Arms Too Short to Box with God." Well, King Nebuchadnezzar hadn't seen it. Despite his divine dream and its heaven-sent interpretation, the sovereign of Babylon remained unimpressed. He hadn't learned his lesson. And those 3 Hebrew administrators were really getting under his skin! Here's Pastor Jim with Part 2 of his message, If Our God Exists.

When the king says, "Bow," it is treason to stand. The state, the head of state, and the gods of the state were all jumbled together in the minds of the ancients. Christians who refused to say, "Caesar is Lord," or to throw incense on the altar of Jupiter were treated as enemies of the Roman empire. Further back, Daniel's friends got into trouble with the king of Babylon for declining to bow to his new idol. Here's Jim to launch a sermon called, If Our God Exists.
