Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

Image of Gold (3)


Dan 2:28-30
28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to
the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the
visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what
should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known
to thee what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have
more than any living, but for their sakes
that shall make known the
interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy
heart. (KJV)


-------

Dan 2:31-33
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was
terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his
belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. (KJV)


Let us continue our look at the "
image".

Nebuchadnezzar is a 'type' for "
this head of gold".
He is king of Babylon, which, spiritually, refers to the 'king of confusion'.

The ultimate 'king of confusion' is Satan.

Now, what is this "
image" that was erected?

It is the 'author of confusion', Satan's "
image", which through the 'kingdoms',
which have ruled over the children of Israel and much of the world, who has
caused men to think in certain ways.

These four kingdoms: Babylon, Medio-Persia, Greece, and Rome influenced
the people so greatly, that many of their traditions and 'ways of thinking'
were adopted by the people of the twelve tribes of Israel and the majority of
the world.
And, these traditions, out of all these 'kingdoms' are still being practised
today, even among those who call themselves "Christians".

Now, let us look again at this "
image" as it will be built from the ground
upward at the time that Satan's spurious theocracy (the fallen angels) arrives
in the sight of flesh man.

It has ten toes, who are fallen angels disguised as ten of the world's great
kings.
These disguised fallen angels shall represent themselves as 'great, renown
kings' out of every people of the world.

It has two feet upon which it stands. These two feet shall be disguised fallen
angels who will present themselves and be accepted by the people as the
two witnesses prophesied to come.
Most probably, these shall be disguised as Elijah/Elias and
Moses....(representing the priesthood and the government).
These two feet are covered by "
miry clay" which refers to earthly flesh men,
which will cling to these two iron feet for a time.

The two legs, which shall bear the great weight of this "
image", shall carry
forth his "
image".

Remember, Satan is the author of confusion. His evil plan has need to
duplicate the same structure of YHVH'S HOLY Plan in order to succeed in
deceiving the people.

Who can these two legs represent?

Dan 2:32-33
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his
belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. (KJV)


The "
legs of iron" are Satan's spurious priesthood (religion) and government
(law).
These are fallen angels. And, along with all the other fallen angels which
shall arrive in the sight of flesh man, there should be a great number of
them...spiritually referenced as "
seven thousand".
We can see this reference as it is written in Revelations 11.

Rev 11:13-14
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the
city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the
remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. (KJV)


Now, what is built upon the legs?
"
his thighs of brass"

"
and his thighs"
3410 yarka' (Aramaic) (yar-kaw');
corresponding to 3411; a thigh:
KJV-- thigh.
3411 yerekah (yer-ay-kaw');
feminine of 3409; properly, the flank; but used only figuratively, the rear or
recess:
KJV-- border, coast, part, quarter, side.
3409 yarek (yaw-rake');
from an unused root meaning to be soft; the thigh (from its fleshy softness);
by euphem. the generative parts; figuratively, a shank, flank, side:
KJV-- X body, loins, shaft, side, thigh.
[Strong's]

3410 yarka' (Aramaic)-
the thigh, the loin(s), the flank, the side, a recess
3411 yerekah-

[Brown-Driver-Briggs']


The "
thigh" is also referred to as 'the place where one makes a pledge to
another'.

Gen 24:1-4
1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed
Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all
that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God
of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of
the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto
my son Isaac. (KJV)



Therefore, the "
thighs" of this "image" refers to those who have made a
solemn pledge to Satan, the spurious 'king'.
Note again the extended definitions: "
loins (as the seat of procreative
power)
", "by euphemism, the generative parts".


"
brass"
5174 nechash (Aramaic) (nekh-awsh');
corresponding to 5154; copper:
KJV-- brass.
5154 nechuwshah (nekh-oo-shaw');

; or from the red color of the throat of a serpent [5175, as
denominative] when hissing); coppery, i.e. (figuratively) hard:
KJV-- of brass.

a primitive root; properly, to hiss, i.e. whisper a (magic) spell; generally, to

fortunetelling, to take as an omen (Piel)
1) to practice divination
2) to observe the signs or omens


To whom would the "
thighs of brass" refer?
Could it refer to Satan's children, his seedline, in the earth...the Kenites?
Yes.

Gen 4:16-24
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land
of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son,
Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael
begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of
such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ.

22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass
and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye
wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
(KJV)


Do not confuse Cain's lineage with the lineage of Seth (son of the 8th day
man Adam).
Again, Satan is the author of confusion. His evil plan is to confuse the
understanding of YHVH'S children.

Gen 4:25
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name
Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel,
whom Cain slew. (KJV)


Now, what is this "
his belly" "of brass"?

"
his belly"
4577 me` ah (Aramaic) (meh-aw');
or me` a' (Aramaic) (meh-aw'); corresponding to 4578; only in plural the
bowels:
KJV-- belly.
4578 me` ah (may-aw');
from an unused root probably meaning to be soft; used only in plural the
intestines, or (collectively) the abdomen, figuratively, sympathy; by
implication, a vest; by extens. the stomach, the uterus (or of men, the seat
of generation), the heart (figuratively):
KJV-- belly, bowels, X heart, womb.

4577 me` ah (Aramaic) or me` a' (Aramaic)-

intestines, or (collectively) the abdomen, figuratively, sympathy; by
implication, a vest; by extens. the stomach, the uterus (or of men, the seat
of generation), the heart (figuratively):
KJV-- belly, bowels, X heart, womb.


The "
belly" refers to the 'place of emotion', which, also, is referred to as
'heart'.
Yet, the "
heart" and "emotions" of this "image" are favorable toward Satan,
the spurious 'Jesus', the fake 'king'.

This "
belly" is also connected to digestion.

How many shall swallow the deception from Satan's disguised fallen angels,
and from those who shall support Satan's 'one world theocracy'?
How many shall eat of Satan's twisted words?

How many people, even now, try to yank you around by your emotions?
How many false teachers use 'the fear of burning in hell forever and ever' to
manipulate the emotions of their flocks?

Will these flesh men, who call themselves teachers of God's Word, lead you
to emotionally accept the false 'Jesus'?


What shall YHVH do for those who will continue in HIS Word of Truth?
HE will "seal" HIS Truth in the minds of those who have honestly and
earnestly worked to rightly divide HIS Word of Truth, and have served HIM.
This "sealing" also includes a 'curbing of the emotions' of HIS servants,
whereby they can continue in HIS Work, and not be subject to emotional
manipulation by flesh men or the fallen angels.

"
sealed"
4972 sphragizo (sfrag-id'-zo);
from 4973; to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or
preservation (literally or figuratively); by implication, to keep secret, to
attest:
KJV-- (set a, set to) seal up, stop.

probably strengthened from 5420; a signet (as fencing in or protecting from
misappropriation); by implication, the stamp impressed (as a mark of
privacy, or genuineness), literally or figuratively:

5420 phrasso (fras'-so);
apparently a strengthening form of the base of 5424; to fence or inclose, i.e.
(specifically) to block up (figuratively, to silence):

5424 phren (frane);
probably from an obsolete phrao (to rein in or curb; compare 5420); the
midrif (as a partition of the body), i.e. (figuratively and by implication, of
sympathy) the feelings (or sensitive nature; by extension [also in the plural]
the mind or cognitive faculties)
:
KJV-- understanding.
[Strong's] {Greek}

4972 sphragizo-
to set a seal upon, to mark with a seal, to seal
a) for security: from Satan

[Thayer's] {Greek}


Satan's 'one world theocracy' shall even manipulate the emotions of the
deceived friends and relatives of YHVH'S Elect and HIS other children.
And, YHVH will allow this so that HIS Truth can be brought ("
published") to
the whole world.

Mark 13:10-13
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought
beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever
shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but
the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son;
and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be
put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (KJV)


Satan is "Death", therefore, to "
cause them to be put to death" speaks of
spiritual death, not literal physical death.

So, the "
belly" of this "image" refers to the 'heart' and 'emotions' of Satan
(and those working for him, knowingly or unknowingly), which shall be
utilized to deceive as many as will allow themselves to be deceived.

The "
breast" refers to an "offering".

We can see this used in Exodus. Yet, remember, this "

Satan's 'one world theocracy', and not of YHVH.

Exod 29:22-27
26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and
wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder

What we are seeing here, "
his breast and his arms of silver", are earthly
flesh men.
Yet, they are not merely the general population, but they are 'priests',
'preachers', 'pastors', and/or so-called 'men of the cloth'.

These are working for Satan.
Perhaps, some of them may be "honestly deceived", but still yet, YHVH,
Our FATHER will hold them at a higher level of responsibility, because they
profess to be 'shepherds of their flocks'.

Jer 23:1-4
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!
saith the LORD.
2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed
my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not
visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the
LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have
driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be
fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they
shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the
LORD. (KJV)



"
and his arms"
What are the "
arms" of this "image"?
They are the deceived people of the earth, who are doing his work (Satan's
work).
They are that which gives "
power" unto the "image", because they believe it
to be of their 'Lord'.


The word "
silver" needs to be understood.

KJV-- money, silver.

, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I
will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is
my God. (KJV)

YHVH'S servants shall be "refined" in the manner (spiritually speaking) as
silver is refined.
The silver must be cleansed by putting into the fire.
The 'pure' silver then is separated from the dregs.

But, those, who are the "
arms" of this image, have not yet been refined.
They are still 'mixed' with the dregs of Satan.


Now, let us top off this "
image".
"
This image's head was of fine gold"

Again, Nebuchadnezzar had been the earthly flesh "king of Babylon".
And, he was told by Daniel (from YHVH) "
Thou art this head of gold.".

But, the ultimate "king of Babylon"..."king of confusion" is Satan.
And, as we have read in Ezekiel 28 of Satan, "
Thou sealest up the sum, full of
wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
".

Ezek 28:12-19
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto
him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and
perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou
wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee
with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out
of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the
midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay
thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by
the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of
thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the
sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee:
thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. (KJV)

Dan 2:38
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and
the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee
ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (KJV)



Therefore, Satan, in all the splendor (as YHVH had created him), shall be (as
was Nebuchadnezzar), "
Thou art this head of gold".
It shall be Satan, himself, disguised, and being accepted, as "the king of
kings
" (disguised as 'Jesus') which shall complete this "
image".

II Th 2:1-17
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved
of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath
loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through
grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.  (KJV)

 



Now, let us look at this "
image" as it had been "set up" and that which
followed afterward.

Dan 3:1-30
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was
threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain
of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers,
the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were
gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the
king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had
set up.
4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations,
and languages,
5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the
Jews.
9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds
of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into
the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the
province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king,
have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden
image which thou hast set up.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden
image which I have set up?
15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall
down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not,
ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and
who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O
Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning
fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods,
nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was
changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake,
and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more
than it was wont to be heated.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery
furnace.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats,
and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace
exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down
bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and
spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into
the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of
the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of
God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery
furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye
servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors,
being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no
power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats
changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his
servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded
their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their
own God.
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language,
which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill:
because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the
province of Babylon. (KJV)

------

Remember that Nebuchadnezzar is a 'type' for the ultimate 'king of
confusion', 'babble', Satan.

We, living in this final generation of the earthly flesh, have been witness to
the events which have and are occurring in Iraq.
The last earthly flesh man, who had set himself up, and was as a type of 'the
king of Babylon' incurred the same
fate as did Nebuchadnezzar.

There is no new thing under the sun....

Let's move a ahead for a moment, and take a quick look at that which
became of Nebuchadnezzar.

Dan 4:10-33
10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in
the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto
heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was
meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the
heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and
an holy one came down from heaven;
14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his
branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away
from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band
of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the
dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the
earth:

16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto
him; and let seven times pass over him.

17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word
of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High
ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and
setteth up over it the basest of men.
18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar,
declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my
kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art
able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour,
and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let
not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar
answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the
interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height
reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for
all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the
fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
22 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is
grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from
heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump
of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the
tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his
portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High,
which is come upon my lord the king:

25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they
shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over
thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and
giveth it to whomsoever he will.

26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy
kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the
heavens do rule.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off
thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the
poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of
Babylon.
30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the
house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my
majesty?
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven,
saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is
departed from thee.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven
times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was
driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the
dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails
like birds' claws.
(KJV)


This was the same fate of Saddam Hussein, as he was driven from his
palaces.
It was seven months from the time in which his "
image" was pulled down, in
the sight of the whole world (seen by television and internet), and when he
was captured.
He was found hiding in a hole in the ground, and "
his hairs were grown like
eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws
".

Yet, again, remember that Nebuchadnezzar and Saddam Hussein are only
'types' for the ultimate 'king of confusion' (babble, Babel, Babylon), Satan.

--------
Daniel 3:

"
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was
threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain
of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
"

Please, take note of the dimensions of this "
image".
A "
score" is "twenty".
A "
cubit" was equivalent to the measurement from the elbow to the wrist of
the king. The average length would be approximately 18 inches.

The height was "
threescore cubits", which is 60 cubits.
The width was "
six cubits".

Let us consider Satan's 'number', the number of his governmental "
beast",
which is 666.

Rev 13:18
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six. (KJV)


The number '60' ("
threescore") is representative of "Pride".

The number '6' ("
six") represents "Weakness of Man" ... "Evils of Satan" ...
"Manifestation of Sin".

In the "
image" which Nebuchadnezzar had "set up", what number was
missing?

The number "
Six hundred" was not represented in Nebuchadnezzar's
"
image".

Of what does the number "
Six hundred" refer?
It is representative of "Warfare".
We can see this in Exodus 14.

Exod 14:1-31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before
Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it
shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the
land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will
be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may
know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of
Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said,
Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains over every one of them.

8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he
pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with
an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by
the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes,
and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid:
and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast
thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus
with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone,
that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the
Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the
salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians
whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst
of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host,
upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me
honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face,
and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
