Daniel interprets a second dream that is a great warning from God to the king
Beware of pride for it shall be your downfall. Listen in as King Nebuchadnezzar praises the One True God as he recounts his spiritually humbling experience to the world around him. Being warned by Daniel, he did not heed nor change his heart. Therefore the king suffered a form of imprisonment for 7 years, in a wild, diminished mental state, until "released" by the only one truly in control of timing, world events, kings and kingdoms. God alone receives the honor and praise due Him. He alone saves and protects as we face end times. The Lord is the one and only true Master we should serve. What do the watchers see when they look down to examine your life?

Daniel 4; Proverbs 1; Hebrews 11
By William Bradford - Chapters 4 and 5 of the book of Daniel cover two main prophecies: a tree with roots banded by iron and bronze, and words written on a wall by a spirit hand. What do they mean? How might these prophecies relate to the end times?
Daniel - The king acknowledges God. The vision of a great tree. Daniel interprets the vision. The vision fulfilled. 2 John - Walk according to His commandments.3 John - A good report.

There are a few different ways to look at the structure of the book of Daniel, and one of them is to note that the first six chapters are comprised of narratives that contain prophecy, while the last six chapters are prophecies that contain history. These next three chapters each happen in successive time periods under successive kings whom Daniel served under, however, later chapters do not maintain chronological order. Each account shows God's supreme authority over all kings and kingdoms. Those who attempt to thwart the Lord's plans and the Lord's ways are all shown to be weak and easily dismissed.Daniel 4 - 1:11 . Daniel 5 - 10:57 . Daniel 6 - 19:09 .

As Pastor Glenn Lawson leads us through Daniel chapter 4, God calls King Nebuchadnezzar to humble himself and give glory to God, but the king does not take the warning to heart and is driven to madness. After a period of time Nebuchadnezzar finally repents and glorifies God, who then restores the king to greatness. We can look to this example today and ask ourselves this vital question: In what areas of our lives are we taking pride in ourselves rather than honoring God, and will we repent and turn to Him, or allow our pride to ruin us instead?

10/26/2025 Pride | Daniel 4Pride is recognized by an air of arrogant haughtiness, thinking that what we do, say or think matters the most.1. Allure of pride: pride makes us think that we are in control.2. Sneakiness of pride: our personal motive for doing good circumvents the good we do (jealousy and being easily offended, for example).3. Confusion of pride: we have a wrong perspective on things that makes us unteachable and unable to grow (Proverbs 26:2).4. Destruction of pride: pride interferes with our relationship with God. Pride is idolatry, it leads to selfishness, ingratitude, coveting, and envy. Pride robs us of joy and makes us unable to have compassion for others. (Micah 6:8; Phil 2:8).We deserve God's wrath and judgment, but what we get is God's love, His grace, His mercy, and His forgiveness.
2 Chronicles 23 tells of the courage of Jehoiadah the high priest in supporting the coronation of Joash - aged 8 - in defiance of the wicked usurper, Athaliah. Armed Levites surround the young king as he enters the temple. Joash is crowned to the acclamation: "God save the king". When this happens the evil usurper Athaliah cries - "Treason". That wicked woman is taken from the temple precinct and summarily executed. Jehoiadah now begins many reforms. He purges the idols from the land and ensures that all the people of Judah worship Yahweh 'in the beauty of holiness'. In Daniel 4 we have the acknowledgment by Nebuchadnezzar of the Almighty's everlasting kingdom. The Babylonian king is given a second dream of the luxuriant and sustaining tree which is described in verses 10-18. In the dream the tree is cut down and bound with rings of bronze and iron for a period of 2,520 day/years. In verses 19-26 Daniel interprets the dream and tells Nebuchadnezzar that it contains a personal message for him. The Babylonian king's enemies would rejoice in the out working of the dream. The judgment of which Daniel spoke to the king could be averted by Nebuchadnezzar humbling himselfbefore the Almighty and repenting (v27). Twelve months later when the king of Babylon is glorying in his great accomplishments the sentence was carried out as his PRIDE vaunts itself. In that very hour Nebuchadnezzar is stricken with madness and for seven years the king is turned into a brute beast. Theking's malady is called lycanthropy. Nebuchadnezzar's sanity only returned when the king acknowledges that "The Most High rules in the kingdom of men and sets up over it whoever He chooses". Read aloud verses 34-37 - pause and ponder.Acts 2 speaks of the day that commenced Pentecost - literally 50 days after the waiving of the sheaf of the first fruits on the third day after the Passover. Pentecost is known by the Jews as 'The Feast of Weeks' (the day following the marking off of seven weeks from Passover). Multitudes from every known country in the Roman world had been in Jerusalem for Passover (Edersheim suggests that there may have been three and a half million people present at that time). It was the perfect day to start witnessing for Christ. The phenomenon of the pouring out and resting of the Holy Spirit, in the form of a mighty rushing wind and resting on the Apostles in the form of cloven tongues of fir, was witnessed by many. The Apostles then began to speak in the dialects of the visitors to Jerusalem - at least 15 are named - as a sign to the assembled multitude that what the multitude were witnessing was from God. Verses 6, 8 and 11 indicate that the miraculous event was that of hearing. The crowds thought that the Apostles were drunk. Peter says that this could not be the case, but rather the phenomenon was a fulfilment of the prophecy of Joel 2 verses 28-32. Read aloud those verses from Joel - pause and ponder. Peter preaches Christ as approved among them by God in the witness of miracles and a sinless and raised Saviour in the evidence of the empty tomb. Jesus is indeed the LORD's Holy One. A repentant response was needed from the conscience-smitten crowd and this is evident in their plea of verse 37. Peter instructs those seeking a covering for sins to repent and be baptised i.e. be fully immersed in water and they would receive thepromise of the spirit i.e. salvation (consider Joel 2 verse 32). Three thousand respond and join the community of believers who constantly met in fellowship and unity. The ecclesia's expectations are outlined in verses 42-47.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

God delights to hear and answer prayer—and He is able to humble the proud and exalt the humble. Therefore, the church must pray, especially for leaders!

How should we understand the kingdoms in Daniel's visions-and what do they teach us about God's control over human history? What does Daniel teach us about living faithfully in a culture that doesn't follow God? Who is the "Son of Man" in Daniel 7, and why is that title so important to understanding Jesus? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member Bobby Crotty break down each chapter in Daniel 4-7 and help us understand the theological truths within these passages.

Fr. Mike touches on Proverbs 16:3, which is about giving everything in our lives to the service of the Lord. He also emphasizes how important it is to humble ourselves before the Lord, so to avoid becoming like the false prophets Jeremiah talks about today. Today's readings are Jeremiah 23, Daniel 4-5, and Proverbs 16:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
