1 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | Hank | 6167 | ||
Daniel 2:47 might lead one to think that Nebuchadnezzar was a true believer in the God of Israel. But was he? Did this most powerful pagan of his time continue to cling to his Babylonian gods? | ||||||
2 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | Ray | 6201 | ||
Hi Hank, I don't see him clinging to his Babylonian gods in Daniel after he found out that there is no other God who is able to deliver. I think he followed Daniel and his friends "so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God." Certainly his witness in Daniel 4:2 is excellent. And I think he came to realize that Heaven rules, Daniel 4:26, and that his grandeur was bestowed by Him, Daniel 5:19. And again He is able. Daniel 4:37, "Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise, exalt, and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride. I think he even recognized the Spirit of God. Daniel 4:8, marginal note, Or possibly, ..."the Spirit of the holy God." |

Ray ... resd my post to Hank. Also, I think your Daniel 4:8 marginal note is incorrect. Belteshazzar was Daniel's heathen name (Dan. 1:7). We see the reason he got his name. Steve |

"Or possibly [the Spirit of the holy God,] and so throughout the ch" (NASB footnote at Dan 4:8) The New American Standard Bible Dan 4:8 "But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to (footnote 111) him, [saying,] " "FOOTNOTE: F111: Or possibly [the Spirit of the holy God,] and so throughout the ch" Ray: "I think he even recognized the Spirit of God. Daniel 4:8, marginal note, Or possibly, ...'the Spirit of the holy God.'" Steve: "Also, I think your Daniel 4:8 marginal note is incorrect" Steve: *You* think the marginal footnote is incorrect? That's very interesting. Are you implying that you intuitively know more about the Aramaic text of Dan 4:8 than all the translators of the NASB know after years of study? How did you come by your conclusion that the marginal note is incorrect? Did you guess, did you intuit, did you study the Aramaic language for 2 or 3 years, did you have a dream or a vision? Is that what it says in "The Message?" Tell us, whence cometh this great learning? |

I am saying that whoever put that footnote in is incorrect. Who quoted Dan. 4:8. To me it is very clear in the NASB, Belteshazzar was Daniel's name. As I pointed out, he was given that name in Dan. 1:7. Since it is his heathen name, the passage cannot read 'the Spirit of the holy God.' It is not from studying the original, but, from letting the Scripture prove itself, by the context of the entire book. Acts 17:11 lets me check whatever is said. |

6 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | Ray | 6231 | ||
Hi Steve Butler, You realize that I chose Spirit of the holy God from the footnote. The NKJ reads Spirit of the Holy God. My wife is a school teacher and she has to fight the temptation to classify every "Nathan"or "Benjamin" or whatever name as a troublemaker just because she has had trouble with a lot of them in the past. In other words, I think you have to get past his heathen name. It is true that scripture doesn't tell us that Daniel spoke in tongues as proof of his committment. As far as Nebuchadnezzar is concerned, another case for "security of the believer" might be argued. In any case, get back with me about what I missed with the "resd" to Hank. |

Ray ... I do not care what any version says. I study the Bible to see what God says. Everyone could be wrong, even me. However "whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods", to me refers to his gods, Not YHWH. |

Steve: You write, "I do not care what any version says. I study the Bible to see what God says." If you are studying the Bible without regard to what any translation or version says, then you must be reading it in the original languages. "Everyone could be wrong." Yeah, that really makes sense. All the Bible versions -- all of them -- could be wrong. And yet the gospel is being preached and souls are being saved, even though (according to your hypothesis) there is not one sound translation of the Bible upon which to rely. |

I do not trust any one translation. I like to look at the original and several transaltions, even a non-English one. Everyone could be wrong, even I can. No one has ever got it all right, except for Christ. People are saved because of translations ... around the world. Yet, when a word is forced from English as the word, instead of Greek, I've seen problems. I am done. Steve |
