Nebuchadnezzar’s Tree: A Story of Pride and Grace
Nebuchadnezzar’s Tree is a story of pride and grace. Dreams aren’t just for children. God used them many times in the Bible to tell of good tidings, bad tidings and to instruct and to give prophecies. He used them to convey messages to kings and even to ordinary people. How the receivers of His special dreams responded to them would often determine their fate.
King Nebuchadnezzar was a very proud king, and God wanted him to understand what happens to men who love to be worshipped. He sent a frightening dream about a strange tree that shook the great king of Babylon to the core!
But what did it mean? Daniel was the one who could tell the king its meaning, and it gave him a choice. Would the proud king humble himself to God, are return to his evil ways?
