Is Judgement at Hand? Have you recognized the Most High God? What changes when you recognize the glory of God? Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez looks at Daniel 4:28-37. In these verses, Nebuchadnezzar's dream is realized. After a season to repent expires, the king becomes self-enraptured and falls into the sin of pride. God pronounces a sentence upon the King and takes Nebuchadnezzar's sanity for 7 years. Do we ever fail in our repentance? Do we fall into pride? God's judgment may be at hand for your sin. Even Christians experience consequences of sin in this life. Hold to repentance, and walk in the mercy of Christ.
Have you recognized the Most High God? Have you bowed knee to King Jesus? Nebuchadnezzar finally confesses God as the Most High. He comes to his senses after seven years of insanity. He professes the Immortal, Incomparable, and Incontestable God. Do you know this God?
The story ends as Nebuchadnezzar tells of his restoration and displays his resolution. After humbling himself before God, Nebuchadnezzar receives sanity, status, subjects and sovereignty. He is given greater majesty than ever before, demonstrating God's generosity. Nebuchadnezzar proclaims God's glory and warns against pride. Are you humble before God? Relinquish pride and receive grace today.
