21
인생 중에서 쫓겨나서 그 마음이 들짐승의 마음과 같았고 또 들나귀와 함께 거하며 또 소처럼 풀을 먹으며 그 몸이 하늘 이슬에 젖었으며 지극히 높으신 하나님이 인간 나라를 다스리시며 자기의 뜻대로 누구든지 그 위에 세우시는 줄을 알기까지 이르게 되었었나이다
다니엘서 5:21
Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar was a powerful king of the Babylonian empire. His fiery furnace and his dreams of the great tree and the statue are all told in the first four chapters of the book of Daniel. He is also mentioned in 2 Kings 24, and in Jeremiah 27 -- 39 where he destroys the kingdom of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar represents the kind of church that starts out well but then degenerates into a lust of power that demands obedience to human leaders. Such a church comes to believe that it has the power to to save or condemn, thus falsely claiming a power that belongs only to God.
