REVELATION UNCOVERED - God's Puzzle Solved

Mark Of The Beast97is significant is that only these four governments rule the earthuntil Jesus returns with God’s “kingdom.” How can this be?You will soon see Rome’s government never ends till Christ returns.Nebuchadnezzar reveals another dream, which includesa large tree where the birds, along with the peoples of the wholeworld, receive their sustenance. The tree is chopped down andonly its stump remains. The King asks Daniel to interpret (Daniel4). Daniel states this “tree” is Babylon, The King’s Empire,which he rules and everyone is taken care of by the tree (Daniel4:1-16). This tree, ruler or king, is cut down and no longer rulesBabylon. Why?Nebuchadnezzar was vain enough to take all the credit himself.He felt, he, personally, was responsible for his “kingdom” andgained by his own power and not realizing God was responsiblefor putting him there (Daniel 4:27). Daniel told Nebuchadnezzarto repent and understand how he came to be a king.The reason for this dream was to teach Nebuchadnezzar it wasonly God in heaven who rules over all and puts into power eventhe basest of men. In essence, He said, “Nebuchadnezzar, humbleyourself and don’t worship this great image or idol in spite ofyou being the head of it” (Daniel 4). Because of his ego, he hadto lose his mind and roamed as a beast in the wilderness until heacknowledged that God in heaven and only through Him do kingsrise and fall according to God’s purpose. Nebuchadnezzar wanderedfor seven years as a wild man, and then finally repented andwas restored to his kingdom.When Nebuchadnezzar’s rule was past and his grandson, Belshazzar,ruled Babylon, he became big headed and acted as if he wereGod, so in that day, God simply removed Belshazzar as king (Daniel5).
