November 27, 2022
WHEN GOD CORRECTS CORRUPTION
I. IN A GOOD PLACE WITH GOD
THE KING PROCLAIMS AND PRAISES GOD
Daniel 4:1-3 (NIV) 1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the
peoples, nations and men of every language, who live
in all the world: May you prosper greatly! 2 It is my
pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and
wonders that the Most High God has performed for
me. 3 How great are his signs, how mighty his
wonders!
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his
dominion endures from generation to generation.

II.
FROM PEACE TO PANIC
NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S PEACE TURNS TO FEAR
Daniel 4:4-5 (NIV) 4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was
at home in my palace, contented and
prosperous.

afraid.
As I was lying in my bed, the images
and visions that passed through my mind
terrified me.

III.
THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD WITHERS
THE KING’S WISE MEN AREN’T VERY WISE
Daniel 4:6-7 (NIV) 6 So I commanded that all
the wise men of Babylon be brought before me
to interpret the dream for me.
7 When the
magicians,
enchanters,
astrologers
and
diviners came, I told them the dream, but they
could not interpret it for me.

IV.
THE KING REMEMBERS DANIEL
Daniel 4:8-9 (NIV) 8 Finally, Daniel came into my
presence, and I told him the dream.
(He is called
Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the
spirit of the holy gods is in him.)
9 I said,
"Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the
spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too
difficult for you.
Here is my dream; interpret it for me.
WHEN GOD CORRECTS CORRUPTION
V. FROM HEIGHTS OF GLORY TO DEPTHS OF DESPAIR
THE MAIN POINTS OF THE DREAM
-Daniel 4:10-16 (NIV) 10 These are the visions I saw while
lying in my bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in
the middle of the land.
Its height was enormous.
11 The tree
grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was
visible to the ends of the earth.
12 Its leaves were beautiful,
its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all.
Under it the
beasts of the field found shelter, and the birds of the air lived
in its branches; from it every creature was fed.
WHEN GOD CORRECTS CORRUPTION
"In the visions I saw while lying in my bed, I looked, and there
before me was a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven.
14
He called in a loud voice: 'Cut down the tree and trim off its
branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.
Let the animals flee
from under it and the birds from its branches.
15 But let the stump
and its roots, bound with iron and bronze, remain in the ground, in
the grass of the field.
"'Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven,
and let him live with the animals among the plants of the earth.
16
Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given
the mind of an animal, till seven times pass by for him.

VI.
A GODLY WARNING: TROUBLE IS COMING
THE PURPOSE OF THE DREAM – A GODLY WARNING
Daniel 4:17-26 (NIV) 17 "'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones
declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over
the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the
lowliest of men.' 18 "This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had.
Now,
Belteshazzar, tell me what it means, for none of the wise men in my kingdom can
interpret it for me.
But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
19
Then Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) was greatly perplexed for a time, and his
thoughts terrified him.
So the king said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its
