Chapter 4 of the Book of Daniel records the amazing faith confessions of Nebuchadnezzar. According to a class discussion, when his statements are taken in the historical context of the day, what was so striking about these faith confessions?
A. Nebuchadnezzar was apparently replacing his belief in certain attributes of Marduk, a primary Babylonian god, and attributing them instead to Yahweh, Daniel’s God.
B. Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful king of the world of that time, was humbling himself and acknowledging the sovereignty of the God of Israel.
C. Nebuchadnezzar seems to have accepted the religious and spiritual teaching and mentoring of Daniel, the prophet of the Lord.
Who was the king that saw the hand writing on the wall, and then was killed that very night, in fulfillment of the interpretive prophecy that Daniel gave?
Belshazzar
When we look back at Daniel chapters 7, 8 & 11 in light of later history with God’s people and the world, which historical figure matches most of Daniel’s predicted description of an evil “Anti-Messiah,” or “Anti-Christ” figure that was to emerge near to the end of the Old Covenant?
Antiochus Epiphanes (Antioch IV Epiphanes)
Another prediction of an “Anti-Messiah” or “Anti-Christ” figure is in chapter 9 of Daniel. According to in-class teaching, which historical figure seems to be a match for this evil person who oppressed God’s people with violence and destruction? NOTE: There are different perspectives on the “who,” yet both history and other Scriptures, including many in the NT, present a strong case for the figure mentioned in class.
Titus, who killed many Jews and destroyed the Temple in AD 70.
What was the “theological explosion,” as it was called in class, that Ezekiel realized when he saw the mighty vision of God at the Kebar River, while in exile?
God moves beyond the temple, and he’s coming to his people!
