Just as He did with Gideon's starting army, all cowards and those that are fearful will have to be pruned out from among God's people. Those that have a spirit of fear, has a spot or blemish that has to undergo the knife, for He has not given us a spirit of fear which has torment. That part of the Churches washing and cleansing through the Word, in which Christ comes looking for a bride without spot, wrinkles or blemishes.

God works on all of us as He did with Nebuchadnezzar. We are trees of His planting, which He shapes us as vessels of honor to be a spiritual dwelling place for Himself.

Just as Nebuchadnezzar and many today, serve God not knowing who He really is and our mission or purpose, for there will be many on that they who will have done many works in His name and He will say depart from Me, I never knew you. We have to take His yoke upon us and learn of Him by the understanding and clarity of life spiritually only He can give.

It's hard trying to get people to understand that Nebuchadnezzar was really addressing the world and those of us to come, about the insanity of worldly thinking and that the truth understanding comes from being awaken to God who opens your understanding to where you can communicate and understand Him, for the whole world lays in darkness, and is foolishness to God.

Here when it say's that King Nebuchadnezzar was driven from men, into the wilderness, I've tried to research this as best I could but not much about it. He must have been going through issues that taught him about God, even with what the Babylonians called his mental decline, it was part of his discovering God period which brought him to conclude rightly about God, with a restoration of His sanity or understanding.

Those of God's children who fail to humble themselves He will humble. It is a non-negotiable trait that all His children must posse, because He resist the proud. We must not be high-minded, thinking more highly of ourselves than we should.

Listening at the Apostle Peter about us submitting to one another, the younger men to the Elder men, was from his experience of Satan sifting him like wheat, Jesus told him when he had come through to strengthen his brethren. Just as Daniel warned Nebuchadnezzar to turn from his ways to God, then him rejecting the (Gospel Message), God had to humble him, which we should humble ourselves.

The Old testament was written also for our admonition, we do ourselves a great disservice by not studying it more, reflecting and putting ourselves in some of their places as in the case of Nebuchadnezzar with his self-centered pride and not listening at Daniel's admonition of repentance toward God.

There's a work being done in which Jesus is accomplishing all of the Fathers will perfectly. In the latter days He's working through the Church to accomplish this mighty work. Wherein we should not think more highly of ourselves, than we should, realizing it is Christ that works in us both to will and do, and without Him we could do nothing.

When we look back at the origins of man, we see where we inherited a sin nature at the fall of man. Within that nature was the father of all sins Pride, it is very deadly, and deceptive. It is one that can only be humbled by the spirit of God working in the individual to cause him to see himself as he really is a " depraved-sinner" with no hope but in Jesus by His Grace through faith.
