1 | Nebuchadnezzar a true believer? | Dan 2:47 | Hank | 6283 | ||
Hello, Ray. Regarding the issue of capitalization of the word "god" in Daniel 3:15, why should it be capitalized? Nebuchadnezzar is not talking about the God of Israel here, but about a god in general, any god -- a generic god, if you will. This king was a polythestic pagan. He recognized many gods. In 2:47 the king is answering Daniel when he says, "Your God is a God of gods." God is capitalized in this instance because clearly the word is used in reference to the one true God, the God of Israel. The "gods" in the phrase "God of gods" is in reference to pagan deities. --Hank | ||||||

The closest King Nebuchadnezzar ever came to a 'true believer' would be in Daniel 4:28-37, where God humbles him in plain view of the entire kingdom. | ||||||

True enough, Nolan, and I think the Bible stops far short of providing any hard evidence that Nebuchadnezzar abandoned his Babylonian religion, albeit the argument has been advanced by some that he did. --Hank | ||||||
