Daniel 4
We walk through Daniel 4 and watch Nebuchadnezzar move from boasting on a rooftop to blessing the God of heaven. The dream of the great tree, the watcher’s decree, Daniel’s warning, and the king’s restoration show how God humbles pride and gives back what we cannot hold alone.
• setting the scene between Thanksgiving and Christmas
• why Daniel 4 works as a single narrative
• Nebuchadnezzar’s proclamation and the great tree dream
• watcher’s decree to cut down the tree and leave the stump
• Daniel’s fearful but faithful interpretation
• call to practice righteousness and show mercy to the oppressed
• rooftop pride, sudden judgment, and beast-like humiliation
• reason restored when eyes lift to heaven
• language shift from “holy gods” to “Most High”
• parallels to Ezekiel’s tree and Pharaoh’s pride
• who the watchers are and why it matters
• what this shows about God’s rule and human humility
You are listening to the Regular Guys Bible Study Podcast, a Bible study for regular guys by regular guys. We are your host, Ken and Steve, and we are just regular guys studying the Bible together.
SPEAKER_00:Not theologians.
SPEAKER_01:So man, it is a busy time of year.
SPEAKER_00:It is. And you know what? November and December fly right by every year. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So yeah, we've been out all day. I mean, so if you're not listening to this live, I mean not live, but I mean, like, if you're not Do we have a live feed? Don't we don't have a live feed? But if you're not tracking like week to week the latest, um, then we're recording this between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And man, we are so stinking busy. It's crazy. Um, I am so thankful because co-host Steve has been very flexible. He can touch his toes, I think. But only only if he bends his knees. Um, and allowing us to record at our non-standard time. So I appreciate that, Steve.
SPEAKER_00:You know, actually, I think I can still put my right leg behind my head.
SPEAKER_02:Like a contortionist kind of move.
SPEAKER_00:Uh-huh. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Seriously?
SPEAKER_00:It it hurts pretty bad to do it, but I think I could still do it. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:You know what? I could do it if somebody cut my leg off. I think I could like That would hurt even worse. Somebody could hold it behind my head, and I'd be doing it. All right, guys. Anywho. Yeah, today we are on Daniel chapter four. It is a long chapter, but I think we need to do the whole thing.
SPEAKER_00:It doesn't really read through the whole thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It doesn't really make sense, right? It doesn't. I was thinking the same thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so we're gonna do a lot of reading um in this thing. Um, but that's okay. I don't honestly, there's not a lot of like detailed questions we can ask. I think the main thing is, you know, who this says about God. And that's that's the number one question I think we should be asking anyway. Or who I said who this says about God, what this says about God. Um, so why don't um if you haven't read Daniel chapter four, go ahead and read it. So just pause this thing, read it, come back. Welcome back. And um, so should we go ahead and get started, Steve?
SPEAKER_00:So there's four sections. How about I read the first section, you read the second, I read the third, and you read the fourth. Um, hold on here. That's actually, or is there five sections? There's five sections. One?
SPEAKER_01:No.
SPEAKER_00:I guess I get to read extra three four five.
SPEAKER_01:I think I should read the first one, though.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, but if I if whoever reads the first one has to read an extra one. Oh, that's true.
SPEAKER_01:That's true. Okay, you read the first one. And are we reading the whole thing? I I think we should. I think we should too. All right, good. All right, so Daniel chapter four. Ready? Go.
SPEAKER_00:Go. King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied to you. It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the most high God has done for me. How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders, his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.
SPEAKER_01:I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace. I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed, the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me, so I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers came in, and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation. At last Daniel came in before me, he who was named Belteshazzar, after the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods? And I told him the dream, saying, O Beltashazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that no mystery is too difficult for you, tell me the visions of my dream that I saw and their interpretation. The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these. I saw and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heaven heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven. He proclaimed aloud and said thus, chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beast flee from under it, and the birds from its branches, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven, let his portion be with the beast in the grass of the earth, let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast mind be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him. The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the most high rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will, and sets over it the lowliest of men. This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw, and you, O Beltashazar Shazar, tell me the interpretation, because all the wise men of king of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
SPEAKER_00:nineteen. Then Daniel, whose name was Beltashazzar, was dismayed for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, Beltashazar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you. Beltashazar answered and said, My Lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies. The tree you saw, which grew str grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth, whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and which was food for all, under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens lived. It is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth, and because the king saw a watcher, a holy one coming down from heaven and saying, Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field till seven periods of time pass over him. This is the interpretation, O king. It is a decree of the most high, which has come upon my lord the king, that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, till you know that the most high rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from this time that you know that heaven rules. Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. Break off your sins by practising righteousness and your inequities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may be may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.
SPEAKER_01:Verse twenty eight. All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, and the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty? While the words were still in the king's mouth, he fell a voice there fell a voice from heaven, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken, the kingdom has departed from you, and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beast of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you until you know that the most high rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagle's feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws.
SPEAKER_00:thirty four at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the most high and praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand or say to him, What have you done? At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of Heaven, for all his works are right, and his ways are just, and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
SPEAKER_01:All right. That was a lot. One thing there's a couple of things I want to point out real quick, because they're on my head. And I did and I I told you I didn't take notes, so it's like it's all just on the top of my head. And if I lose them, go for it. I lose them. All right. So a couple of things I noticed. First of all, this book was written by Daniel. Right? That is now this chapter, this chapter is obviously to me copied out of Nebuchadnezzar's journal.
SPEAKER_00:That's what it feels like, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Um, because I it says, I Nebuchadnezzar. All right. And when we look at that, and so this we're calling these Nebuchadnezzar's words, then, right? Because it's pretty obvious to me that's what it is. It sure seems that way. In the beginning, he talks about the holy gods, plural, that, and um, and in the Bible it it shows up as a little g, the holy gods that that Daniel um serves.
SPEAKER_00:So he doesn't in the beginning, as in the beginning of the book of Daniel.
SPEAKER_01:No, in the beginning of this chapter. In the beginning of this chapter, when uh when he calls, talks about Daniel. It's I guess not in the very beginning, it's somewhere mid-beginning. He talks about the holy gods, and he says it multiple times in there. He he uses the gods plural. And at the end of this, are you have a look on your face, Steve, that says I don't see it where it says that, but I'll trust you. I'll trust you. It was all in the section that I was reading. Um, the second section here.
SPEAKER_00:Because I was looking at verse two there, and it says, Most high God has done for me.
SPEAKER_01:Um, well, that's he's talking about here's the story. Um and and and by the time the story is over, he uses a singular God and the most high. Like chat verse eight, for example. At last Daniel came in before me, he was named Beltashazzar after the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods?
SPEAKER_00:That's one place does it again at the end of 18.
SPEAKER_01:And it also does it at nine in nine. Uh, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you. But at the beginning of this, he's at the beginning of this, he's um speaking as here's the story kind of.
SPEAKER_00:Right. Um it's it's past, it's the beginning is after the story happened.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, and here's the story. So he already knows about the the true God, and then at the very end, when he comes back, he talks again about um, let's see, da da da. At the end of the days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the most high and praised and honored him who lives forever. Um, and he does that in multiple times here, talking about the holy, the holy one. Um, and so you know, he had a a true conversion here of what does it mean here? Uh, you know, who are these gods, these holy gods that just random gods to this most holy god? All right, that's that's all I got, see?
SPEAKER_00:All right. That actually hit that hit on a couple of my notes, so that's good. Okay. What was the other thing you had? No, those were the two things. Oh, that was two things.
SPEAKER_01:That was two things. What was it? I don't know. Was it not? I maybe it was. I told you if I didn't get him out, I'd forget. Maybe I forgot one.
SPEAKER_00:So as you said, the beginning and the end were sort of in the same time period, with the story being told as this is how it happened, and put it in place. Nebuchadnezzar's definitely a different man than he was in the first few chapters. For a couple of reasons. I mean, clearly he's been humbled, right? Um but also when he calls for the magicians, enchanters, chaldeans, blah blah, he doesn't threaten him with death anymore.
SPEAKER_01:That's true.
SPEAKER_00:So he's he's improving over time. And then this this story took him the rest of the way, I think.
SPEAKER_01:He also did not say, tell me what I dreamed in this case.
SPEAKER_00:Right. He doesn't ask for crazy, ridiculous.
SPEAKER_01:So why did he just not ask for Daniel right away?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. You know, so my wife and I were watching a show yesterday.
SPEAKER_01:And does this have something to do with this, or is are you just telling a story?
SPEAKER_00:It sorta does. It sort of does. All right. And whenever commercials come on, you know, we have um Hulu, and it pops up this little thing in the upper right corner that says add, and there's a time that's counting down. And I asked her, so if that's up there, does fast forward not work? And so she tried it, and the fast forward worked.
SPEAKER_02:I was like, great. Next commercial comes on.
SPEAKER_00:She didn't fast forward. I'm like, did you forget that fast forward works? Just like, oh, okay. And she fast forwards it. This happened like three more times where she wouldn't remember. So I'm thinking he is like my wife, and that Mr. Short-term memory man or something. He just doesn't remember. He's got Daniel there to call on. Hold it. You can fast forward through your commercials? Some of them, not every show. And okay. I think you're I think you're missing the point here.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I probably am missing the point because I have Hulu with ads. And first of all, I really appreciate that you're too cheap like me to pay for it without ads.
SPEAKER_00:Um that just seems ridiculous. They'll just start charging some showing ads somewhere else.
unknown:All right.
SPEAKER_01:Just like Amazon. But I'm shocked that you could fast forward through the ads. All right.
SPEAKER_00:It's not very often.
SPEAKER_01:All right, so you're saying that you that that Belta Shazzar or Daniel and your wife. No, not Beltashazzar. Nebuchadnezzar and your wife have the same root of evil in them.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. They both can't remember the good things that recently happened to them.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we don't really know how recent that thing was. Um how you know how long ago the Daniel thing interpreting the dream was.
SPEAKER_02:But it This is true.
SPEAKER_01:It could have been a few years. And I have a feeling Nebuchadnezzar might imbibe in quite a bit of alcohol.
SPEAKER_00:It's possible. Possible. Um because he definitely seems a bit complacent. He's at ease in his house and prospering in his palace while Daniel's running the kingdom.
SPEAKER_01:Yep. And you know what? Maybe that's why Daniel couldn't come in, actually. He might have been too busy. Yeah. Um because really he put Daniel in charge of running everything so that he could sit back and relax. Um verse eight. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, go ahead.
SPEAKER_01:No, go ahead.
SPEAKER_00:You um at last Daniel came in before me, he who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my God, and in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. So you touched on this verse. Belthashar is after Old Neb's god's name, which is Baal, but the Babylonians um called him Bel.
SPEAKER_01:I did not know that. I you know that's one of those things I was going to look up and I did not. Um, but I can look at it right here.
SPEAKER_00:It's a little weird to me that Daniel, who is like one of the biggest prophets of the Bible, was given a name after a false god. That's kind of weird.
SPEAKER_01:That is interesting. And why would Nebuchadnezzar name him that?
SPEAKER_00:Well, that was Neb's God.
SPEAKER_01:I know, but why would you name this Jewish guy that you just conquered? I mean, I think he probably saw something incredible in Daniel already. That's that's my guess.
SPEAKER_00:Probably, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Um, this this dude's brilliant. Uh that God God had granted had blessed Daniel with probably good looks. I think they actually, isn't there uh something in there about how oh they were obviously good looking guys, all four of these guys. Um especially after their vegetarian diet, they looked healthier and better than all the other uh folks. Alright, what else you got, Steve?
SPEAKER_00:I told you I didn't take notes. I'm very disappointed in you. Uh you should be.
SPEAKER_01:I did read it a lot, but I just never took the time to write down anything. I don't know why.
SPEAKER_00:I'm stupid. So there is a parallel here between Nebuchadnezzar and Pharaoh. And it is in verse 12, and it has to do with the tree. Because if you go look up Ezekiel 31.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, hold on. You didn't find you read something about this.
SPEAKER_00:You actually I I clicked on the little letter that's next to verse 12, and it popped up Ezekiel 31, and I went and looked at it. And there's a tree that's almost identical described there.
SPEAKER_01:All right, can you read that one?
SPEAKER_00:Uh it's kind of long.
SPEAKER_01:It's leaves okay, Ezekiel 31, 7. It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its roots went down to abundant waters. That's um just a short thing from from it.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so But if you go you go earlier in that same chapter, it talks about uh the birds of heavens made their nests in its boughs, and I think there's something about everyone eats from the free fruit or something, maybe. Anyway both of them Pharaoh and um this guy, old Neb.
SPEAKER_02:They were both too proud and arrogant. Yeah, uh that is true. And that was really my only point.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, but God put them in that position, didn't he?
SPEAKER_00:He did.
SPEAKER_01:And that's interesting.
SPEAKER_00:Um it's a good thing we never get proud and arrogant presidents. That would be really awkward.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we are very lucky in this country. Um and you know, the the humility and price-like walk doesn't stop with just our president. It is it is through our Congress. It is incredible.
SPEAKER_00:See, now you're just being goofy sarcastic. All right, what did you think of the watcher?
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. Who is the watcher? I I mean I assume that's an angel.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So I did read a little bit on that. Uh you're you know what you are a theologian.
SPEAKER_01:I you you gotta take that back. You're a theologian.
SPEAKER_00:Uh I guess technically it means studier of God, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we're all theologians. But we are not studied theologians. We are not um what's it called? Umdained? Ordained theologians. That's it.
SPEAKER_00:So apparently a lot of cultures had this concept of a watcher outside of, you know, sort of in the the greater outside of what you can see. And I've actually seen a couple of movies that have watchers in them.
SPEAKER_01:Is this like a um a protector or a uh like you know, an angel who watches over you and your kingdom in this case?
SPEAKER_00:I don't think so. No, but what I read did say that this watcher was an angel.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. That's what I would assume. Um, and it's not to be configured uh confused with The Witcher. Right. The Witcher is something that's a fictional thing.
SPEAKER_00:Um, that's real.
SPEAKER_01:The show, it the show is a real show. Yes, but it's based on based on uh a video game. Yes. All right. All right, what else do you got, Steve?
SPEAKER_00:You have so many notes and everything. I'd take notes. Just a brief comment about how Daniel was afraid to tell him what it means, which you know, I get that. It's this guy's done some pretty bad things.
SPEAKER_01:You know, uh kings were known to kill the messenger uh on bad for bad news. That's where the phrase don't kill the messenger comes from, because it would happen. I don't like the news you bring me, you are dead.
SPEAKER_02:Um yeah. But he does say it. Um and go ahead.
SPEAKER_01:And I and Nebuchadnezzar, you know, tells him, Don't worry about it. I can take it, just tell me what it means.
SPEAKER_00:But then I don't have another note until like verse 30, all right. Which ties back back into my Pharaoh and pride comment. Okay. Is this not this great Babylon which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty? I mean, that's that's pretty proud. Yep. And maybe rightfully so. Apparently the gardens of Babylon were one of the uh seven wonders of the ancient world.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it sounds like um it you know it it I'll say this.
SPEAKER_01:What's interesting to me about this whole story, or one of the things that's interesting about this whole story, God obviously blessed Nebuchadnezzar. And not only that, but when he punished him in this way where he lived as a beast for seven periods of time, which is long enough.
SPEAKER_00:Every place I read says that's seven years.
SPEAKER_01:It could be seven years, it could be as little as seven months, but his nails grow long, his hair grows long. Seven months is like the smallest amount of time. So I'm thinking it was not seven days. No, it wasn't. Um, I was thinking maybe at first seven days, and then I kept reading, and then his hair grew long, his nails grew long, and it's like, man, this is not a short seven, seven times. This is a long time.
SPEAKER_00:The weird thing for me though is this pride that he shows that put him there. You jump to 36 at the same time, my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. He's he's still kind of proud. The glory of my kingdom.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I I don't I don't know what to do with that. I I agree. That was a little weird, but he acknowledges, and and it's true that God restored this to him.
SPEAKER_00:And increased it.
SPEAKER_01:And increased it. And so you would think that God would just say, okay, I'm just gonna cut you out and bring up bring in somebody else.
SPEAKER_00:But he waits for his son to do that, but that's next week.
SPEAKER_01:But um, you know, he restored, he restored Nebuchadnezzar, which is really interesting to me.
SPEAKER_00:I just had a thought.
SPEAKER_01:What?
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so you know that God brought in Babylon to punish the Jews.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And so they're in their period of however many years, I don't remember how long it was. It was like 70 or something, 70 years?
SPEAKER_01:I don't remember. Sometime, yes.
SPEAKER_02:But God has always restored their kingdom. Oh, wow, you're right. In the same way.
SPEAKER_01:All right. Very similar. Then let's go to that question that I mentioned in the very beginning. What does this say about God?
SPEAKER_00:That's actually my last thing. I asked the same question. What'd you come up with?
SPEAKER_02:I have a couple of things. First of all, my first comment has to do with Gentiles.
SPEAKER_01:Because, you know, the Jews are God's people. And I mean, we even talked about in church today about how the Jews treated the Gentiles as I mean, if you want to talk about racism, you wouldn't even see the dirt that the Gentile was on was considered garbage dirt at that point, and you couldn't stand on it. Um God, though, if you look at what he's doing here, he obviously loves Nebuchadnezzar enough to show him who he is and give him an opportunity to see and worship him.
SPEAKER_02:Interesting. And he's a gentile.
SPEAKER_01:Um but so that's the number one thing as a gentile and as a proud and arrogant man at times, that um that makes me happy. Um you know, uh the second thing is that, and and it's it's the a constant recurring theme in the Bible is that God is faithful. Um and he's all knowing, he has a plan and executes to that plan. So those are the two things I came up with.
SPEAKER_00:His dominion is an everlasting dominion. He's in control of everything. Um somewhere in here it said, I think it was at the beginning.
SPEAKER_02:Uh something about putting even the worst of people in control. I don't know where it was. Dang it. I don't see it. Anyway.
SPEAKER_00:Maybe you should have taken a note about that. He he uses the the lowliest of people.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, he even mentions that. No, he does mention that. That was my Yeah, he says that near the end. I think. Oh, is it near the end? I think it's near the end.
SPEAKER_02:Um I do think God uses He uses things that we see as unholy, perhaps, to humble us so that we return to him. Yes. That's a good point. Alright, Steve, one more question then.
SPEAKER_01:About this scripture. What does that say about what does this scripture you might have kind of just answered it? What does this say about us?
SPEAKER_00:About about how we should reach. We're arrogant and we should be more humble.
SPEAKER_02:Yes. And um and God seeks us. God will do whatever it takes for us to humble ourselves and turn to him.
SPEAKER_01:Um and so I think it's kind of our responsibility not to force his hand. Yeah. It's kind of like it's kind of like um the the old saying, you know, don't ask God to teach you patience.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_01:Um, and I I jokingly pray to God. And I mean, this is a a real joking prayer to God. I joking with God, I say, God, don't teach me patience, just give it to me. I don't I don't want to go through the learning process. Please just give me patience. Um because uh the learning process is painful, yes. All right. That's all I've got. That's all I got, and it was really cool, I think, just hearing Nebuchadnezzar's transformation from the beginning to the end um of the story.
SPEAKER_00:Um so all right, and yeah, looking to next week. For those of you that haven't read the Bible before, you're gonna recognize this story for sure.
SPEAKER_01:Ah, okay, I can't wait. I haven't read it yet. Oh, yeah, I know what this is. Daniel chapter five.
SPEAKER_00:All right, reading tidings on the wall, people.
