Do you know anyone who has converted to God?

August 19, 2017

The king blesses God (Dan 4:34-4:35)

“When this period was over,

I,

King Nebuchadnezzar,

Lifted up my eyes

To heaven.

My reason returned

To me.

I blessed

The Most High.

I praised him.

I honored the one

Who lives forever.

His sovereignty is

An everlasting sovereignty.

His kingdom endures

From generation to generation.

All the inhabitants

Of the earth

Are accounted

As nothing.

He does

What he wills

With the host

Of heaven,

As well as among the inhabitants

Of the earth.

There is no one

Who can stay his hand.

No one can say to him.

‘What are you doing?’”

After all this humiliation and his unreasonable activity, King Nebuchadnezzar lifted up his eyes to heaven. He blessed and praised the Most High God. He honored the eternal God who ruled the whole world, whose dominion and power would last forever, because his kingdom would endure for all generations. All humans were as nothing in his eyes. He does whatever he wants to do with the heavenly beings as well as the human beings. There was no one on earth who could question what he was doing. The king has basically converted to the God of Israel in this first-person singular account.
