The Plan

Duration: 365 days

Prophecy Thread of Week 47

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO GO MAD FOR SEVEN YEARS

God is opposed to the proud (Jam 4:6). Even Nebuchadnezzar, who had no rivals, could not boast of his accomplishments. God humbled him by making a most inferior creature of him until he repented. Then God restored him. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom (Pro 1:7, 9:10). When we respect the Almighty and let Him lead us, He is the One to bring the vision to pass.

PROMISED

NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S SECOND DREAM

570 BC (U)

Dan 4:25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.

Dan 4:32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

FULFILLED

NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S INSANITY FOR SEVEN YEARS

570-563 BC (U)

Dan 4:33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR REPENTS

563 BC (U)

Dan 4:34a At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.

Prophecies declared are in blue, prophecies fulfilled are in red, prophecies currently being fulfilled are in green, and prophecies to be fulfilled are in orange. Bold historical context dates are from Jeff Swanson's The Plan dating system, and dates marked (U) are Archbishop Ussher's 1658 dating system.
** The date of this prophecy is in its referential context: the verse has been moved to the time frame of its contextual orientation.
