Best Nebuchadnezzar Poems
I found myself eating grass, acting foolishly
Running with animals, untamed in the fields
One day reason was granted
This understanding was painful
Reaching out I cried for help
Then a Wind heard my plea
Took pity and carried me off
Offered protection and shelter
Gave back all that was lost
Whispered, “Oh Nebuchadnezzar”
“I’ve waited for you”
Showed how love worked
Forced my soul to hear
What was given before was nothing
Compared to what lay ahead
Miradas del destino
Rodeado con Amor
This is what is to be of this
I smile and move
Como un hombre
and the Lord delivered the King of Judah
into the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar.
the choice gems of the Judean royal family —
chosen to serve in the Babylonian palace.
veggies, please…no meat, no wine
from the King’s table...no defilement.
God caused the chief official to show
favor and sympathy to Daniel.
in ten days bright and cheery faces
continued their act that pleased the Lord.
to Daniel and his friends, God gave
knowledge and understanding;
to Daniel - visions and dreams of all kinds.
none was found to be better than Daniel,
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah renamed
Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
and this begins their veggie tales…
some thought lions might eat vegetarians...
some thought veggies could be flame-broiled…
hear the cacophony of the dithering instruments:
horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all
the nations crack, crumble, fall
to worship the image of gold
but…
Daniel and his friends
wait for a better day
a trumpet sound
where every knee will bow
to the King of Kings.

Nebuchadnezzar his royal highness
Engulfed by the abundance of his sight,
Once mused himself to the madness
Which arose from the pride of his heart:
"Is this not the great Babylon kingdom
Built by the swiftness of my might?
The kingdom that seizes the freedom
Of whatsoever nation it chooses to fight!
Whosoever it deems me fit to spare,
What shall make him not see the night?
And whosoever's life to spare I less care,
How could he escape my fury's fright?
O great Babylon the city of valour
Whose majesty of no precarious flight,
Remains at its best an epitome of honour
To the insatiable view of my delight!"
But while the utterances of his folly
Reeled from the abundance of his pride,
The Ancient of Days—Lord Most Holy—
Could not afford Himself of glory deprived;
Therefore He (God) had to prove to him
That all on which his pride such relied,
Were conquests which in his wildest dream
Couldn't have been, however all he tried.
For only He (God) to whoever He wills,
Has that power and discretion to decide
Who is he who dies, and who is he who lives
—Even the fate of all that crawl and glide!
These He does that no flesh may share
In the glory which in Him alone should abide;
Even that no lifeless god may least bear
A glory with which it was never designed.
And so to him a Voice at the instant came
That in his next seven years to be spent,
He would be devoid of same feat and fame
By which he became so proud and impudent:
That he may know that only The Most High
Has the ultimate power at every moment,
To deliver into a king's hands who should die
At any imaginable or unprecedented event.
Alas, a pathetic judgement was passed
(Which turned him a beast for a torment);
Oh, the disgraced king on the fields housed,
Far from the comfort of his majestic tent!
But the repented king (whose new birth
occured after the years of his punishment),
Praised the God of the heavens and earth
For such a great opportunity to repent.
"King Nebuchadnezzar is really worthy of emulation for his recompense
of heart...But most especially, for his repentance from pride and folly!"
31 "You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. Dan 2:31-32 NIV
Daniel was the interpreter
of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
The King had forgotten it—
his troubled sleep so extreme.
God told Daniel what the king had dreamt;
even what his dream did mean.
Nebuchadnezzar was so delighted
that with Daniel he did convene.
Daniel told the king, “You dreamed of
a brilliant statue — Babylon’s the man’s head.
You are the king of this kingdom
that the Medes and Persians will soon shred.
For they are the chest and arms of silver;
the second kingdom yet to come.
Then there’s the belly and thighs—
the third kingdom of the foursome.
The belly made of brass
is much less superior to gold;
this kingdom’s called, Greece,
but even it will fold.”
“So what kingdom will follow
for that’s the very last?”
“It’s a kingdom of iron,” said Daniel;
Rome had to be the caste.
This kingdom of iron
forms the legs down to the feet;
the toes of iron, mixed with clay;
this kingdom, the four complete.
The brilliant statue then is struck
as if with superhuman hands,
with a rock of destruction,
dispensed at God’s commands.
This kingdom of iron
forms the legs down to the feet.
the toes of iron, mixed with clay;
this kingdom, the four complete.
The brilliant statue then is struck—
as if with superhuman hands,
with a rock of destruction,
dispensed at God’s commands.
There’ll be no more earthly kingdoms
beyond the fourth, for sure;
God has predicted it—
no more kingdoms will endure.
Although Napoleon has tried it
and Adolf Hitler too,
Europe will not long be united,
but no-one’s told the Parliament of EU.
God has set up all the kingdoms
and deposed them all as well.
So what hope has man to dictate—
his pack of cards all fell?
God told us there’d be one last kingdom,
but that’s on the earth made new.
So when someone tells you differently,
He’s not read Daniel 2.

You see, since 2002 to 2016,
The amount of years we been
Grinding you down,
Trying to make pulp outa ya mind!
The Lord and his Big Right Hand, Like Hezekiah,
Won't let go and for 15 years added 15 pounds
Per square inch for each Mercy he placed on your soul!
You see, the Maker gave Hezikiah 15 more years,
To do all he can and fix all that he could,
For the Purpose he willed for him.
Even Nebuchadnezzar God allow to rise after one year,
To reclaim his kingdom again!
We won't let you rise cause we ain't God's Right Hand,
So, with our left hands we forced you down to the ground,,
'Specially 2003, worst year in your life!
Then skipping some years, we looked at the very old.
Us, you and the world stood still like Joshua did.
But for 15 years, much time wasted,
Could have been money and expenditure;
But we did't know that God was Hezekiahering you!
In the book of Daniel there is a story told
The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
King Nebuchadnezzar made a decree
At the sound of the music, fall down and worship the gold idol or you will see
A fiery furnace will be your fate
Get on your knees before it's too late
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego refused to worship the gold idol, no way
Our God, whom we serve can deliver us from the fiery furnace, we will not obey
Into the fiery furnace they were thrown
However, King Nebuchadnezzar saw they were not alone
The king said there is a fourth man like the Son of God
They are NOT hurt in the midst of the fire where they trod
The King said Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego come here
Their bodies the fire did not seer
As they came from the furnace door
Their garments were as before
King Nebuchadnezzar said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
Who sent and angel to protect them because they trusted God I know
Any people or nation who about their God say anything amiss
Will be cut to pieces because No other God could have saved them like this
Raising kingdoms across time
Bringing them down round about
Serving fulfilling fast forward she said
Why are you weeping daughter ? Latter day rains
Raising up reason's child a purpose shall find it's place....
Little Ishmael, blessed from upon high an archers bow in hand
Princes as gazing unto their future: his brother Isaac's great grandchild
Bathsheba, silken pomagranate lips perfumed, fine purple linen David and Goliath ?
Crucified saying remember me: I came for this moment: turning water into wine: Nebuchadnezzar
Northern lights ? What is truth pondered Pilot puppy dog eyes: a sea of hearts love's castles in the sky.
The earth of five million was of one speech,
Build it up, higher and higher, undie,
Towers of dub man,
circumvent his plan,
Suddenly behold the man, throw it down,
Speak of Babel, people uncomfortable,
Confound and confuse, scatter, no matter,
Shem, Arphaxad, Salah and Eber, a river,
Suddenly Nebuchadnezzar, tongue teach,
The king of dreams, wise men taught to lie each,
'I know of certainty that ye would gain this time,
And you and me did drink Babylon's fine wine,
Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego burn,
It's not your turn,
It's not your turn, unlearn,
Eat grass, lift thine eyes, dominion, you earned,
People's nations, languages and value gauges,
O Belshazzar, Mine, Tekel and Peres, hand write,
Written to see sooth to say, another day,
Oh Babylonites, there is no hope for you,
That they in their wisdom, worship devils,
Babylon the great,Mother of harlots nine,
You think divine, you think divine, you lying,
The smoke of her burning, truth unlearning,
The great Babylon come,
The whore sittetch down.
I am Alpha and Omega, beginning and end,
Babylon was cast down,
Every face a frown,
A New heaven and new earth, no hunger and thirst,
He reigns now for ever,
Babylon has gone.
And with it the words of the Wizard London.
Never before has it been so clear in every single one coming true
Never before has it been so near as the Israeli's now speak Hebrew
In the year 1948 their land was again found and 1967 Jerusalem too
Bible Prophecy is 100% sound in the following of each and every clue
The ways of apostasy growing strong as anti Semitism rears it's head
As with everything and what's wrong, it's all in what the Bible has said
Now Russian and Iran come together and the other three nations named
But God will protect from this whether as in the Bible this too is claimed
Much of it never made sense before then technology jumped into play
So only our Lord could ever in so sense as such damage would He say
A computer, bar code and credit card soon to be the mark of the beast
To imagine this used to be so hard but those problems have since ceased
The four empires have now past, the Euro reuniting the Roman Empire
Now in the toes that Nebby's statue cast how did Daniel ever acquire
As it was all said in the good Book as only the Temple needing to be built
Maybe you should take a new look as they lay those stones upon Jewish silt
Nebby is Nebuchadnezzar whose dream Daniel not only deciphered 3000 years ago but knew it, as no one was told the dream. Saying three Empires would follow Neb's and now the toes, the ten nations. The dream was a large Warrior. Head of Gold(Nebby's Babylon, Silver Persian bust, bronze body and iron(Roman) legs. Now we are in the 10 clay toes which will crumble.
Words hold the meaning that we assign them
Ever since the fall of the tower .....

A hundred times, babylon fell
to the Kassites, the Assyrians,
She fell
and was re-built by Nebuchadnezzar
The hanging gardens, of Eden
her fruit of art and music
flowed through deserts
with the sweet wine of Bacchus
intoxicating all in her pleasure.
In the aftermath of the great feast
they awoke to find
The Persian army stationed amidst them
having walked through the river
and under the walls.
Order reform, separation.
corruption deterioration
Dust to dust.
till
Alexander the Great
wooed her alive again..
Babylon
dancing through gardens, libraries,
markets, travel and trade
musicians, poets and playwrights
came again to sing praises of her beauty.
With his death
she fell
pawed apart by the feuding decay of his bureaucrats.
Babylon, death and rebirth..
Now she lies beneath the sands,
beneath the waters of the Euphrates
A camel ride south of Bagdad
where the tanks and shells of many lands
shake the ancient tower down.
Hammurabi’s code still stands
shattered into a million languages.
Right is right
and Law is Law.
There were three Hebrew men with one desire.
They served the true God! And were cast into the fire!
King Nebuchadnezzar ordered them to bow to a false idol.
But they made up their minds
to serve the God of the Bible!
He ordered them thrown into the furnace so hot!
But there was a lesson here, that was to be taught!
As he looked in… He couldn’t believe
what he saw!
He had seen the living son of God, after all!
At this sight, his words broke and his body trembled!
The Hebrews were unharmed!
No matter how hot the fire was kindled!
He called them out, yelling for them one by one.
He knew they had a visit from God’s holy son!
He looked! And their bodies weren’t even burned!
They trusted their God! And had no reason for concern!
This same God who rescued the three Hebrew men…
Is the same God who can rescue you from sin!
Though the “fires of life, may be “hot and burning.”
It’s in the direction of God…
That you need to be turning!
The living son of God would like to visit you today!
Won’t you listen to the words of life, he has to say?
He is the true God! The king of kings is he!
And invites you to be with him! For all eternity!
By Jim Pemberton
They were just three young Jewish boys who knew their God
In so knowing all of His Joys the king thought them to be odd
He said "you bow to me" or I will throw all of you into the fire
Your God, we shall see if He will save you when things get dire
All answering the same way as one by one they did respond
To only God will I pray despite that crown you have donned
As the great fire raged about that many guards were killed
The three still having no doubt for it was in what He willed
Into the fire the three went and that should be the end there
Yet as over the king bent, they were dancing without a care
But now there was four as he could not believe his own eyes
For now the king wasn't so sure so caught up in his own lies
The king called them back as the fire burned only the ropes
A God not lacking and that is where they placed their hopes
So when that fire does appear you will know all of His Joys
Jesus said to not have fear, but dance, just like those boys
king Nebuchadnezzar
Boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
Daniel 3:9-28
A precious jewell of the Mdzimba mountains,
A king is a king by his rulership of the people.
My king is a father of orphans,
My king is an education to the poor,
My king is a bill of rights to the widows,
My king is a sprinting leg and a tough knee—
My king is food to the table to the disabled poet.
But I won't say 'Long live' to my king.
A king comes and a king goes, so is the system of this world.
I call my king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
With more wisdom and knowledge bears the trap of pride and folly,
But born in this kingdom I bear in delight.
But I won't say, "Long live the king,"
I'd rather say, "Long live the monarchy."
King Nebuchadnezzar ordered people to worship a statue that was ninety feet high.
But when three good men refused to worship it, the king condemned them to die.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship an idol even though the punishment was stern.
The king had them thrown into a furnace but Jehovah God sent an angel and they didn't burn.
Those three men said that they would only worship The Lord.
And being protected from a fiery death was their reward.
Nebuchadnezzar was amazed when they weren't consumed by the fire.
Those three good men survived a fate that would have usually been dire.
Jehovah proved himself to be the true God who has might.
He protected his three loyal servants for doing what was right.
Reading his fourth chapter amid the Book of Daniel, while settling in for her evening
Blessed moment's and rare sometimes; with my Beautiful Father ? Always, ensuing battles
Aside this worthlessness be my own flesh; a lifetime of sin as darkness; shackled, by it's plague
Trodden aneath time crushed, our spirit; yet still we climb ? Holding tight unto hope; broken
Where nothing should it seem to exist; humble heart's myself adrift; tossed about love's riptide..
Clinging, be His cross; whirlwinds as emotions thoughts questions, the paradox ? Would Angels cry.
