The Bible Says
但以理书 4:28-33 含义

但以理只是解释了国王的梦,告诉他如果他不改变自己的行为,会发生什么,而这一切都发生在尼布甲尼撒王身上。我们发现,从但以理解释梦境到这一切发生,中间间隔了十二个月

尼布甲尼撒走在巴比伦王宫的屋顶上。正如我们从他的梦中得知的,他的统治强大,他的王国伟大,巴比伦的美丽在整个古代世界闻名。国王沉思道:“这不是大巴比伦吗?我用我的大能大力,为要显我威严的荣耀,亲自建造了这座宫殿作为王宫。”在但以理书第 3 章中,国王已经为自己建造了一座雕像,并命令他的人民崇拜它。他对自己评价很高,并将他所有的财富和权力归功于自己的所作所为。但上帝已经下令,他将教导国王谁才是真正的掌控者。

就在尼布甲尼撒夸耀的话还在口中时,天上传来一个声音,说:“尼布甲尼撒王,有话对你说:你的王权已被剥夺。”尽管但以理恳求国王改变他的做法,但他还是选择继续荣耀自己而不是上帝。正如预言所说,他被人类驱逐了。

国王像动物一样生活了七个时期,直到他认识到至高者是人类王国的统治者,并将它赐予他想要赐予的任何人。这种屈辱并不是逐渐发生的,而是立即实现了有关尼布甲尼撒的预言;他被赶出人类,开始像牛一样吃草,他的身体被天上的露水浸湿,直到他的头发长得像鹰的羽毛,指甲长得像鸟的爪子。在这段时间里,他不仅像动物一样生活,而且开始变得像动物。

尼布甲尼撒相信自己之所以能成为国王,是因为他强大且比任何人都优秀,但他会明白,至高者统治并选择谁来掌权。圣经的其他章节也呼应了这一观点,即统治权是由上帝赋予的,“因为没有权柄不是出于神的,凡掌权的都是神所命定的”(罗马书 13:1)。上帝赋予尼布甲尼撒王权,他也可以轻易地夺走这一权力。有趣的是,上帝选择以这种方式夺走尼布甲尼撒的权力,而不是被另一个敌人征服。似乎尼布甲尼撒毫不怀疑,是上帝,而不是其他强大的统治者,拥有授予王权和夺走王权的权力和权威。

尼布甲尼撒因为骄傲,他的王位和荣耀瞬间被万物之神夺走。
