DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 4 – Nebuchadnezzar’s Decree
forget it with returning prosperity. He was

ready to acknowledge that the Most High rules

in the kingdom of men, and gives it to

whomsoever he will; and he sent forth

through all his realm a royal proclamation,

containing an acknowledgment of his pride,

and a manifesto of praise and adoration to the

King of heaven.

This is the last Scripture record we have of

Nebuchadnezzar. This decree is dated in the

authorized version, says Dr. Clarke, 563 B. C.,

one year before Nebuchadnezzar’s death;

though some place the date of this decree

seventeen years before his death. Be this as it

may, it is probable that he did not again

relapse into idolatry, but died in the faith of

the God of Israel.
