Series: Daniel

Daniel 4
INTRODUCTION: We are in a series through the OT book of Daniel. I was approached by a fellow Pastor, and African American last week asking if we were doing a series that addressed the racial and cultural issues of our day. In his own words he said, ''No people have been through what my people have been through''.
- Taken from their country, to a foreign land?
- Enslaved?
- Their manhood Emasculated?
- Their names changed so that every time they looked at their drivers license they saw the name given to them by their slave masters?
- Has there ever been a people to endure such treatment?
Turn if you would to the book of Daniel.
C.S. Lewis said, ''That which is not eternal is eternally out of date''.
The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword - it doesn't catch up to culture, culture catches up to it.
We have seen so far - Israel overtaken by Babylon. Their best and their brightest taken away to a foreign land. Emasculated upon arrival and assigned a place among the Eunuchs. Names given to the in keeping with the Demonic Idols of the land.
The book of Daniel began while these young men were teens. By chapter 4, Daniel is about my age, somewhere in his 40's.
TEXT: Daniel 4:1-5:31 (ESV)

His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.
The story that follows is the testimony of Nebuchadnezzar, this is his conversion experience. Everyone has a story, everyone has a biography, not every has a testimony. Nebuchadnezzar has a testimony.
