DANIEL Week 12, chapter 4 continued We’ve been exploring King Nebuchadnezzar’s tree-dream in Daniel chapter 4 and will continue it today.

DANIEL Week 11, chapter 4 When we concluded Daniel chapter 3, it was with a proclamation made by King Nebuchadnezzar addressed to (as he modestly puts it) everyone in all the earth.
