5 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Dan 6:1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom;
Dan 6:2 and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss.
Dan 6:3 Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.
Dan 6:4 So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.

5 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.

3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.

Dan 4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

This is a unique chapter for several reasons.

Nebuchadnezzar the king : It was written by a gentile king, Daniel includes this epistle from Nebuchadnezzar in his collection of prophecies and highlights of his life that we call the Book of Daniel.

To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: This letter of Nebuchadnezzar is addressed to the whole world, Chuck Missler posits that this letter was probably intended for distribution throughout the kingdom.

In any case it is certainly addressed to the whole world. Stephen Miller points out that many proclamations of the kings of Babylon and Assyria were similarly addressed.

This letter was probably written in Aramaic as that was the official language of the kingdom, and as we have already mentioned several times in this study this portion of Daniel is one of the few places in the bible where the original language of the text is Aramaic.

Daniel 3 – The Fiery Furnace Revisited

Dan 3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

We don’t really know when this happened, other than it was after Daniel’s companions were promoted to their positions of authority, which occurred after Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. We know this because we see that the other wise men make reference to their promotion in verse 12, and seem to be jealous of it.

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image

I have always assumed that this big statue was a likeness of Nebuchadnezzar himself, but Im not so sure it was. In no place does the text say that it was made to look like Nebuchadnezzar, instead it always uses the phrase: “the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up” this, or a similar phrase is said 8 times in this chapter. That is the only connection to Nebuchadnezzar it has, that is that it was “set up” by him. Continue reading “Daniel 3 – The Fiery Furnace Revisited”

A controversial passage, but a very important one in Bible Prophecy. Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a statue. I will discuss several possible interpretations of this chapter.

By Chris White

Dan 2:31  “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.

Dan 2:32  This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

Dan 2:33  its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.”

So the first part of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream involved a statue which was made of 5 different materials. The head made of gold, the chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
