Praying with Biblical Characters
The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar was thought to have been a myth for centuries due to his outstanding accomplishments. No one believed that this could be one man. And up until the 1800s, no historical artifacts supporting the life of this king existed. But then a clay tablet was discovered, and the inscription on it proved remarkable. What was written on this tablet, and does it support what the Bible states about this man from long ago?

Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.4 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.5 And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,6 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;7 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;8 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.9 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.10 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two.11 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.12 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.13 The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five.14 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore.15 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight.16 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight.17 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two.18 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.19 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven.20 The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five.21 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.22 The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight.23 The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four.24 The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve.25 The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.26 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight.27 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight.28 The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two.29 The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.30 The men of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty and one.31 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.32 The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.34 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.35 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.36 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five.37 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one.38 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.39 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.40 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two.41 The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven.42 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.43 The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.44 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight.45 The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight.46 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,47 The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon,48 The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai,49 The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,50 The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,51 The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah,52 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim,53 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,54 The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,55 The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah,56 The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.57 The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,58 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,59 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon.60 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two.61 And these were they which went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.63 And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name.64 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.65 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.66 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,67 Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.68 Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five:69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.70 And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.71 And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.73 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
“How did you become a prophet?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of prophecy in the Bible, alongside topics such as the differences in prayer practices between Catholics and Protestants, and the historical context of the deuterocanon in the Protestant Bible. Other questions touch on the biblical understanding of marriage and the nuances of salvation from different theological perspectives. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:35 – How did you become an Old Testament Prophet? 08:35 – Can Catholics and Protestants pray together, and where do we see this in scripture? 15:40 – Who took the deuterocanon out of the Protestant Bible and when did they do it? 20:38 – I predicted something that happened. Does that mean I'm a prophet? 24:35 – I think it's Judith that says Nebuchadnezzar is king of Syria, but the rest of the bible says he's king of something else. So how can Judith be scripture if it contradicts the rest? 32:54 – I've heard that Protestants have more of a courtroom view of salvation, and for Catholics it's more about Jesus reversing what Adam did. Is that accurate? 38:50 – What does the bible say about marriage? 42:18 – Jesus said we'd be accountable for our mistakes, and he also said he came for sinners. It seems like these contradict each other. Can you explain? 52:45 – Jesus says to be saved follow the 2 greatest commandments. But elsewhere he says you have to receive the Eucharist. So is it both?
2026-06-07 Grow Where You've Been Plantedby Seth Carroll Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 29:1-1129 This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King Jehoiachin and the queen mother, the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.) 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. 9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Mandeville Bible Church "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.
PRIDE TURNS MEN INTO MONSTERS Daniel 4:19-37 In Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar receives another troubling dream. He sees a massive tree that provides shelter, fruit, and blessing to the world. Yet a messenger from heaven announces that the tree will be cut down, leaving only a stump behind. Daniel courageously explains the dream: the tree is Nebuchadnezzar himself. The issue is not power, success, or influence. The issue is pride. Daniel warns the king to repent, turn from his sin, and care for the oppressed. God graciously gives Nebuchadnezzar a warning before judgment comes. But pride often refuses to listen. Main Points: Pride Ignores Warnings Daniel pleads with the king to repent before consequences arrive. One of God's greatest mercies is a warning. Before destruction comes conviction. Before collapse comes correction. Before judgment comes an invitation to repent. Pride Turns Men Into Monsters Pride destroys empathy, compassion, relationships, and accountability. God does not turn Nebuchadnezzar into something he wasn't; He reveals what pride had already been doing to him. Outwardly he was a king, but inwardly pride had made him a beast. Pride Takes Credit for What God Built After twelve months of grace, Nebuchadnezzar stands on his palace roof and declares, "Look what I built." Pride shifts our focus from God's provision to our accomplishments. Faith remembers that everything we have ultimately comes from God. Humility Restores What Pride Destroys When Nebuchadnezzar finally lifts his eyes toward heaven, his sanity is restored. Before his kingdom is restored, his perspective is restored. Humility begins when we recognize who the true King is. Key Truth: Pride is fundamentally a vision problem. Pride causes us to look at ourselves. Humility causes us to look at God. Application Questions: • Are there warnings from God that I am ignoring? • Where has pride crept into my relationships, leadership, or decisions? • What am I taking credit for that God has built? • What would it look like for me to lift my eyes toward heaven and surrender control? Bottom Line: Pride makes us forget who the real King is. Humility begins when we lift our eyes toward heaven and remember that Heaven still rules.
The last of the great prophecty books begins.With its pin sharp predictions and epic action sequences, Daniel's book has transcended the Bible. The man thrown to the lions has long been part of popular culture, but there is far more to Daniel's story than his face-off against apex predators.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffE: contact@whollybuyable.comX: Wholly Buyable Podcast
How much does your life revolve around God? Are we really more like Nebuchadnezzar than Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? And how do we keep God central? On Sunday 7th June, we continued our Daniel series reading chapter 3 and looking specifically at how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego resisted bowing down to an idol and remained faithful to God in the face of death, and what we can learn from them. Remaining faithful to God is for our good. Our Heavenly Father never leaves our side. He's with us always and he reigns. He is faithful like no other, and just as he was for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, he will be for us.

Today we will look back into the pages of history that prophecy of the future time. It was centuries before Jesus came down from heaven to earth. It was when the empires of humanity started to dominate the world at the time. The Babylonian Empire had risen to its peak of powers. Their king had invaded and raided the surrounding nations. He had taken captive those of Jewish lineage who were useful to him. This king's name was Nebuchadnezzar.

The Mount // Week 7 // Fasting In God's Kingdom Pastors JF & Ashley Wilkerson Matthew 6:16–18 NIV 16“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 1. FASTING EXPOSES WHAT'S RUNNING US Daniel 1:14-20 NIV 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom. 1. FASTING EXPOSES WHAT IS RUNNING US 2: FASTING REORDERS OUR APPETITES 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NIV 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. Matthew 5:6 NIV 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 1. FASTING EXPOSES WHAT IS RUNNING US 2. FASTING REORDERS OUR APPETITES 3. FASTING REALIGNS US WITH THE SPIRIT Matthew 4:1–4 NIV 1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” Isaiah 58:6–7 NIV “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 1. FASTING EXPOSES WHAT IS RUNNING US. 2. FASTING REORDERS OUR APPETITES. 3. FASTING REALIGNS US WITH THE SPIRIT.

What happens when our hunger for success, power, control, and recognition becomes the driving force of our lives?In this episode, we journey through the story of Babylon—from the Tower of Babel to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar—to explore the difference between the empire humanity tries to build and the Kingdom God invites us into.

Sunday, March 22, 2026 I Psalm 115:1 NLT Who is the hero of your story? In this episode of the Word of Faith Cathedral Podcast, Bishop Dale Bronner brings a message that will challenge the way you narrate your life. Using Psalm 118:23 as his foundation — "This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes" — Bishop Bronner calls us back to the posture that changes everything: humility. This isn't a message about self-deprecation. It's a message about proper credit. When God is the source, the deliverer, and the sustainer, He deserves to be the hero. And the way we tell our stories — the way we talk about our wins, our survival, our success — either reflects that truth or steals from it. Bishop Bronner walks through the contrast between ego and humility, the story of Joseph and the principle that what enemies meant for evil, God meant for good, the powerful moon analogy (why your light has never been your own), and a practical 7-element framework for sharing your testimony effectively. He also delivers a sober warning from Scripture — the stories of Nebuchadnezzar and Herod — about what happens when God's glory is taken rather than given back. This episode closes with one of the most encouraging declarations in all of Scripture, and a reminder that wherever you are in your story, the best is still yet to come. This episode is for you if: You're tempted to take credit for what God has done in your life You don't know how to share your testimony clearly or confidently You're in a season that looks like an ending — but might be a bend You want to live with more humility and less ego You're ready to make God the hero of your story Key Takeaways: God is your source — not your success, your job, or your connections Ego says "look what I did" — humility says "look what God empowered me to do" You are the moon: no light of your own, only reflecting His The 7 elements of sharing your testimony: before, God encounter, after, gospel, plain language, brevity, practice God will not share His glory — and history proves it He chose the humble, the weak, and the overlooked on purpose "When you've come to what looks like an end in the road — it's only a bend in the road" Scriptures: Psalm 107:2, 8 | Psalm 118:1, 23 | Genesis 50:20 | Matthew 5:16 | 1 Corinthians 4:3–7 | Numbers 12:3 | John 3:30 | Daniel 4:30–37 | Acts 12:21–23 | 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 | Revelation 12:11
A thousand-person party. Stolen holy vessels turned into drinkware. A ruler so sure of himself he celebrates while an enemy army sits outside the gates. Then the music dies when a human hand starts writing on the wall in the brightest part of the room, and everyone sobers up at once.We open Daniel 5 and follow the story of King Belshazzar's pride, panic, and sudden downfall. The king calls in every wise man he can find, but no one can help until the queen remembers Daniel, an older, forgotten servant of God who still carries clarity, courage, and spiritual backbone. Daniel refuses the king's rewards, tells the truth about Nebuchadnezzar's warning, and names the real issue: “You knew all this,” but you would not humble your heart.We also slow down on the meaning of the message: numbered, weighed, divided. It's a sober reminder that our lives are not self-owned, and that judgment isn't about a lack of information but about ignored light. At the same time, we connect the warning to the hope of the gospel: we don't stand before God with a list of accomplishments, we stand with the grace of Jesus Christ, the one who carries what we cannot.

Nebuchadnezzar's dream shows that every earthly empire is temporary, but the kingdom of Christ will overcome every human kingdom.
Nebuchadnezzar's dream shows that every earthly empire is temporary, but the kingdom of Christ will overcome every human kingdom.
Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:3 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;4 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.12 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel, did eat,22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
This week the discussion continues on the image from Nebuchadnezzar's dream that Daniel translated in Daniel 2. The focus this time is on the toes of the image. They look at Isaiah 26:12-14 and Revelation 17:8-9 for help. (Part 3)Program: Biblically SpeakingAired: May 2, 2015
Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?4 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?10 We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:62 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.63 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.64 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,65 Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women.66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six;

CONVICTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE — WEEK 2 Daniel 2 | Power But Not Peace Main Theme Human kingdoms rise and fall, but the Kingdom of God stands forever. Key Scripture Daniel 2 Daniel 2:1–3 Daniel 2:10–12 Daniel 2:16–19 Daniel 2:20–21 Daniel 2:32–35 1. POWER BUT NO PEACE Nebuchadnezzar had power, influence, wealth, and control — yet he still could not sleep. Babylon looked stable externally, but internally the king was unraveling. Key Thought: We often believe: “If I can just get there…” “If I can just achieve this…” “If I can finally obtain that…” …then we'll finally have peace. But human hearts were never designed to find peace apart from God. Application: Success without God still leaves people restless. Information cannot heal the soul. Control cannot secure tomorrow. 2. HUMAN WISDOM ALWAYS HAS LIMITS The wise men of Babylon could not reveal the king's dream. “No one on earth can do what the king asks…” Babylon represents humanity trying to interpret reality apart from God. Modern Babylon: Influencers Celebrities Experts Podcasts Cultural voices Human wisdom eventually collapses under life's ultimate questions: Why are we here? What gives life meaning? What happens after death? Key Truth: No amount of information can save the human soul. 3. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BABYLON AND DANIEL Daniel responds differently than the wise men. Instead of panicking: Daniel prays Daniel gathers community Daniel seeks mercy from God Key Statement: The difference between Babylon and Daniel is not intelligence — it's dependence. Babylon turns inward. Daniel turns upward. 4. GOD IS THE REVEALER OF TRUTH Some things require revelation, not just intelligence. Daniel did not discover truth. God revealed truth. Key Thought: You can: read every leadership book, study every relationship strategy, gain endless knowledge, …and still lack wisdom without God. Daniel's Response: Worship. “Wisdom and power are His…” 5. EARTHLY KINGDOMS BECOME DUST The statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream represents successive earthly empires: Gold → Babylon Silver → Medo-Persia Bronze → Greece Iron → Rome Iron & Clay → Divided kingdoms Key Truth: Every earthly kingdom eventually cracks and collapses. Application: Daniel confronts the temptation to treat political or cultural systems like eternal kingdoms. They are not eternal. 6. THE STONE BECOMES THE MOUNTAIN A stone “not cut by human hands” destroys the statue. This points forward to Jesus and the Kingdom of God. The stone imagery grows throughout Scripture: The rejected cornerstone The eternal Kingdom Christ reigning forever Key Gospel Connection: Jesus arrived during the Roman Empire proclaiming: “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Rome fell. Babylon fell. Persia fell. Greece fell. But the Kingdom of Jesus is still advancing. Final Application We stop building our lives on statues already turning to dust. We stop placing ultimate hope in: politics, money, success, influence, cultural power. Instead: Live faithfully in Babylon Stand with conviction without compromise Seek the peace of the city Remember this world is not our home Final Question: What kingdom are you building your life on? One is becoming dust. The other will stand forever.
One dream. One towering tree. One sentence that cuts through our noise: “the Most High rules the kingdom of men.” Daniel 4 is a story about the humbling of Nebuchadnezzar, but it lands on all of us because pride rarely announces itself. Sometimes it looks like competence, independence, or the quiet belief that we can run our lives without help, without prayer, and without surrender.We walk through the dream that turns from a beautiful picture of strength into a warning from heaven, then we sit with the mercy tucked inside the severity: the stump remains, the suffering has a limit, and God's intent is restoration, not destruction. Along the way, we notice Daniel's surprising heart for the king who harmed him and connect that to Jesus' call to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who abuse you.We also get practical about repentance, because Daniel's counsel is not sentimental. Repentance is not vague regret; it is turning with action, practicing righteousness, and showing mercy where we have ignored it. The turning point for Nebuchadnezzar is simple and life-changing: he lifts his eyes to heaven, and his reason returns.

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 3:30 PM Session This episode is a sermon-style exploration of Genesis 11 (the Tower of Babel) that traces the biblical problem of pride from creation through the flood and back into post-flood humanity. Rebekah defines pride biblically as "an attitude or action that elevates oneself above God," and unfolds six key lessons drawn from the Babel account: pride transgresses God's commands, forgets its place in the world, hurts other people, makes us insecure, is sneaky, and must be stopped. The episode weaves Scripture with personal stories and practical application. Passages referenced include Genesis 1, 9, 11; Micah 6:8; Proverbs; James 4; John 13 (Jesus washing the disciples' feet); Romans and Colossians on humility and compassion; Philippians 2 on Christ's humility; and Daniel 4 (the humbling and restoration of Nebuchadnezzar). The speaker also quotes C.S. Lewis on humility and shares candid personal anecdotes — about parenting a teething baby, life as a preacher's wife, and a childhood track story — to illustrate how pride can hide in suffering, service, and everyday attitudes. Listeners should expect a mix of theological teaching and practical exhortation: the sermon shows how pride often opposes God's explicit commands (for example, God's command to fill the earth), how it redirects praise from God to ourselves, how it fractures community (the literal confusion and scattering at Babel), and how it ultimately undermines our security. The talk confronts subtle forms of pride (seeking recognition in worship or service, spiritual pride, and disguised bitterness in trials) and urges self-examination whenever we are tempted to ask, "What can I get?" rather than "How can I worship and serve?" Practical applications include renewed focus on worship (prostrating before God rather than seeking personal acclaim), hospitality and friendliness to newcomers in the church, humility in Christian service, and honestly tracing personal struggles back to possible pride. The speaker emphasizes that God often humbles people for their good — using the Tower of Babel and Nebuchadnezzar as examples — and calls listeners to bow now, embrace humility modeled by Jesus, and trust God's lasting recognition rather than temporary human praise. No external guests are featured; the message is presented by the speaker as a pastoral, scriptural exhortation aimed at encouraging humility, repentance, and gospel-shaped community. The episode closes with an appeal to follow Christ's example of self‑emptying love (Philippians 2) so believers might shine like stars by leading many to righteousness. Duration 44:42
"Take A Stand" is our series at Fusion Christian Church on having the courage to stand strong in the faith. From the book of Daniel we will learn what it takes follow God in a world that doesn't. In chapter 5, Pastor Matt teaches about the Fear of the Lord and what happens with or without it.No Fear of the Lord.In the story of Daniel, the King of Babylon, Belshazzar chose not to fear God. In fact, he chose to spite God by using the holy items from His temple for a party. Because of this behavior, God writes on the wall in the middle of this party a prophecy of impending doom. Even then, Belshazzar feels fear not of the Lord, but only for his own potential downfall. Refusing to listen to wisdom.To make matters worse, God had already demonstrated his greatness to Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar knew about it. Instead of learning from the mistakes of his predecessor, Belshazzar acted foolishly. He chose to mock the Most High God instead of honoring him. While the Persian army was waiting at the gates, Belshazzar threw caution to the wind and threw a party. Even when the prophecy was given, Belshazzar refused to change his ways. He chose to die in his sin and in rebellion against God.We will all be numbered, weighed, and judged.King Belshazzar's days were numbered, his actions were weighed, and his choices were judged. We will not escape this measuring by God. This is why it is so important for us to live in the Fear of the Lord. This means we recognize that God will hold us accountable for our decisions and live accordingly. Even so, we must recognize that living rightly will not save us. We are not good enough to earn our salvation, so part of the Fear of the Lord is trusting in him for salvation. Only Jesus lived a perfect life; we must trust in him. Our good works are a result of our faith in him; they do not save us.This impacts your life now!When we do all of this, we can see that the Fear of the Lord changes our lives now. This is not a distant reality, but a way of living. Choosing to live in the Fear of the Lord will affect every other choice we make in our lives. Honor and revere God first and you will begin to walk in wisdom.
Daniel 5:1-31 5King Belshazzar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand. 2Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.3Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.4They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone. 5Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the hand as it wrote.6Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.7The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king declared to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.8Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.9Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed, and his lords were perplexed. 10The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall, and the queen declared, O king, live forever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.11There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him, and King Nebuchadnezzar, your fatheryour father the kingmade him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers,12because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation. 13Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.14I have heard of you that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.15Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.16But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 17Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.18O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty.19And because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled.20But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him.21He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will.22And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,23but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored. 24Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.25And this is the writing that was inscribed:Mene,Mene,Tekel, andParsin.26This is the interpretation of the matter:Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;27Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;28Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. 29Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed.31And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.

What happens when a pastor encounters the werewolf legends rooted in real spiritual warfare?In this episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan, from The Church of Glad Tidings in California, for a mind-bending conversation about deliverance, demonic oppression, and the supernatural realities many churches refuse to confront. Dave shares the chilling story of an Ivy League professor who claimed a witchcraft ritual invited a werewolf spirit into his life. What began as a teaching on Nebuchadnezzar's beastly transformation became a private deliverance encounter that Dave says changed the man's life. They also discuss spiritual warfare, the unseen realm, and why Western Christianity often struggles to believe the Bible's strangest stories. This episode pulls back the curtain on a world where darkness is real, but the authority of Jesus Christ is greater.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

We walk through Daniel 3 and watch Nebuchadnezzar move from “Who is the god who can deliver you?” to blessing the Most High God. We wrestle with where we run when pressure hits and why real faith stays steady even when the outcome is unknown. • Nebuchadnezzar's gold statue as a picture of self-worship • The shift from lowercase g gods to the one true God • A personal gut-check on where we seek deliverance • Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's resolved refusal to bow • Faith as assurance plus conviction even if God says no • The furnace heated sevenfold and the cost of obedience • The fourth man in the fire and Jesus as the door • Why they have to be told to come out • The fire burning only the restraints If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.
May 3, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon In this episode we celebrate life's milestones—honoring two college graduates, ten high school graduates, and the joyful baptism of Randy Huff and his son Hayden after study and outreach by Justin and Hiram—before moving into a practical, pastoral message about clearing the spiritual clutter that can crowd our hearts and minds. Using everyday images (garage and yard-sale culture, a mattress left at a driveway, and spring-cleaning rituals) Neal connects physical decluttering with spiritual renewal. He grounds the message in Scripture—referencing passages such as Proverbs 4:23, Philippians 4, Romans 12:2, Matthew 6 and Luke 12—and explains how thoughts and habits accumulate and distract us from kingdom priorities. The core of the sermon identifies three common kinds of mental and spiritual clutter to remove: worry (explored through Jesus' teaching on anxiety and supported by a 2020 Penn State study that found writing down worst-case fears can shrink anxiety), discontent (illustrated by the Stanford marshmallow experiment and biblical warnings about covetousness and envy), and the desire for human approval (examined through New Testament warnings and the example of Daniel and Paul's moral courage). Practical antidotes are offered: replace worry with trust in God's care, learn the discipline of contentment through dependence on Christ, and cultivate moral courage to seek God's approval rather than man's. Historical and biblical examples—from Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel to Paul, Timothy, and the image of Cheyenne “dog soldiers”—underscore the cost and reward of standing for faith. The episode closes with pastoral encouragement to cast cares upon the Lord, respond to God's invitation for help and repentance, and a call to communal prayer and support for those who want help unloading their burdens. Listeners can expect scripture-rich teaching, relatable stories, psychological and biblical insights, and a clear invitation to action and spiritual renewal. Duration 35:19
"Take A Stand" is our series at Fusion Christian Church on having the courage to stand strong in the faith. From the book of Daniel we will learn what it takes follow God in a world that doesn't. In chapter 4, Pastor Zac teaches about the pride of the King and the humbling lesson he learned.Always start your story by giving God the glory.Instead of being told from Daniel's perspective, Daniel chapter four is actually narrated by Nebuchadnezzar. While describing the most humbling experience of his life, King Nebuchadnezzar chooses to start by acknowledging God as Most High and worthy of worship. When we reflect on our own lives and our own stories, we ought to do the same. God must be first in our lives.Start your story with repentance.As the King tells his story in Daniel 4, he noticeably fails to repent early on. If he had changed his ways when God gave him a dream of warning, he would not have needed the extreme humbling later. Instead, because the King failed to repent, God cursed him to become like a dumb animal for seven years. Fortunately for Nebuchadnezzar, God gave him another chance to repent at the end of those seven years. Eventually, the King's sanity returned to him and he looked to God and changed his ways.Your story isn't about you; it's about God working in you and through you.At the end of Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar once again acknowledges the greatness of God. This is an important lesson for us because we should recognize that our stories are also mere windows through which God displays his glory. The purpose of your life and your story is to give glory to God. Even for people who reject God, the bible teaches that their lives will still eventually demonstrate the glory of God. However, it is always better to choose to acknowledge God's greatness yourself. How can you choose to give God the glory in your life this week?
Daniel 4:1-37 1 King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!2It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me. 3How great are his signs,how mighty his wonders!His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,and his dominion endures from generation to generation. 4I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace.5I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.6So 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.7Then 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.8At last Daniel came in before mehe who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy godsand I told him the dream, saying,9O Belteshazzar, 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.10The 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.11The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.12Its 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 heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. 13I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.14He proclaimed aloud and said thus: Chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.15But 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 beasts in the grass of the earth.16Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven periods of time pass over him.17The 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.18This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because all the wise men 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. 19Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was dismayed for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!20The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth,21whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens lived22it 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.23And 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,24this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king,25that 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.26And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.27Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity. 28All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.29At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,30and 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?31While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,32and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts 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.33Immediately 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 eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws. 34At 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;35all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,and he does according to his will among the host of heavenand among the inhabitants of the earth;and none can stay his handor say to him, What have you done? 36At 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.37Now 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.
Countries around the world are beginning to feel the economic shockwaves from Donald Trump's war with Iran, as energy prices, shipping costs, and supply-chain fears rise around the Strait of Hormuz. The New York Times reports that nations were bracing Monday for prolonged economic pain after President Trump rejected Iran's latest offer to end the war and reopen Hormuz, calling it “garbage” and declaring the cease-fire to be “on massive life support.” What began as a military confrontation in the Middle East is now rapidly becoming a global economic event.“Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.” James 5:2 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, what began as a military and diplomatic confrontation is now becoming a global economic event. Shipping costs, fuel prices, insurance rates, supply chains, inflation, and political unrest are all being pulled into the vortex. Reports today point to fears of bunker fuel shortages in global shipping, with Singapore prices said to have jumped sharply as the war squeezes maritime fuel supply. Saudi Aramco's CEO has also warned that oil markets may not fully recover until 2027 if Hormuz disruptions continue, according to the New York Post. This is exactly how modern warfare works in the last days. It is not merely tanks, missiles, and aircraft. It's energy, currency, food, shipping lanes, digital controls, emergency powers, and the tightening of the global system. Every war, every crisis, every supply-chain panic, every oil shock, and every government “emergency response” moves the nations one step closer to the global order that will be handed to Antichrist after the Church is removed. It's looking more and more like US President Donald Trump is God's man for judgment in the end times, a modern-day Nebuchadnezzar set up in the most-powerful political office on Earth.

The Coming Strong Delusion | KIB 530 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In Episode 530 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake tackle one of the most sobering prophetic warnings in Scripture: the coming "strong delusion" spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2. Dr. Lake provides a deep theological and Greek word study analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12, revealing how the Antichrist system will operate through counterfeit spirituality, false signs and wonders, technocratic deception, and a global rebellion against the truth of God's Word. The discussion connects Genesis 3, Genesis 6, Nimrod, Mystery Babylon, transhumanism, Freemasonry, UFO phenomena, AI, and the coming Beast System into one prophetic framework. Mary Lou shares urgent insights regarding spiritual warfare, the Queen of Heaven system, Masonic symbolism, covenant prayer, and the importance of magnifying the Lord in the midst of increasing fear and deception. Together, they warn that modern Christianity's obsession with emotionalism, entertainment, and signs without discernment has prepared many for end-time deception. This powerful briefing calls believers back to: Covenant fidelity Biblical discernment The fear of the Lord Obedience to God's commandments Submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ As the world races toward the final global system described in Revelation, now is the time to stand firm in truth and refuse the lie.

In this episode of the Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael A. Blue continues the teaching on Challenges with Images, revealing the deeper spiritual implications behind one of Scripture's most familiar stories; Daniel chapter 3 and the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to bow. Bishop Blue unpacks how wicked rulers like Nebuchadnezzar represent larger spiritual forces, and how systems like Babylon reflect the ongoing influence of distorted cultural structures. The golden image becomes more than an object. It represents imposed perspectives, identity manipulation, and the demand for internal conformity. From the renaming of Daniel and the Hebrew boys to the strategic conditioning of gifted individuals, this episode reveals how the enemy targets self-image as the entry point for control. As a kingdom professional, understanding this dynamic is essential for maintaining spiritual clarity, resisting cultural distortion, and walking in God-defined identity.
