DANIEL 4:15

[Daniel 4:15 NKJV] — Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth, Bound with a band of iron and bronze, In the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew of heaven, And let him graze with the beasts On the grass of the earth.

[Daniel 4:15 GNT] — But leave the stump in the ground with a band of iron and bronze around it. Leave it there in the field with the grass. “‘Now let the dew fall on this man, and let him live with the animals and the plants.



If you read and understood what I wrote at the preceding Bible Verse to this top Bible verse above, that is, what I wrote at "Daniel 4:14," you would find what I write at this top bible verse as “Sequel." Keywords were two kinds of Fall- "The Fall" by dividing and scattering members that were bonded/united ** compared to "The Fall" by the gathering and entering of Abominations that make desolate or perdition, as the way parasites or viruses enter a host and ruin the infected/host.

In this top Bible verse above, the Watcher (Holy One) was commanding the first kind of Fall (by dividing and scattering) of that Tree, while at the same time the Watcher was also preventing or guarding against the second kind of Fall to it. The first part of the bible verse above was grace that prevents both perdition and the second kind of fall to the Tree, while the second part pushed the first kind of fall.



*1* THE FIRST PART OF THE TOP BIBLE VERSE AGAINST THE SECOND KIND OF FALL

The first part of the top bible verse above states:

"Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth, Bound with a band of iron and bronze, In the tender grass of the field."

This was the grace and mercy of God to Nebuchadnezzar or to that Tree even in the midst of God's judgment upon that Tree.

- Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth: This here means it's not a total fall or perdition, and there was hope for that tree. As it is written,

[Job 14:7-9 BSB] — "For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail. If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil, at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling."

With a band of iron and bronze around it, In the tender grass of the field: This here means securing the Stump and Roots of the truncated Tree against the entrance or invasion of evil spirits or evil viruses, parasites etc., especially because of the last stroke of isolation or separation about to be done to that tree.

Remember that when that evil spirit that left the man returned to the man's house (man's body), the evil spirit found the house was clean, swept but it was empty - meaning even the soul and spirit of the man was not even in the house (his body). So that evil spirit went and invited seven more evil or more wicked spirits than him, and eight of them entered and occupied that empty house [Luke 11:24-26]. Supposing when that evil returned to that man's house that was empty, the evil spirit found there was band of iron and bronze around that house as in under lock, and no way for that evil spirit to enter the house or to know it's empty: then that would be illustrating what the Watcher's doing for that Tree Stump by calling for it to be under the lock and key of Iron and brass around it while the personality and spirit (Nebuchadnezzar) would be driven or cast out of his own Tree house next.



*2* THE SECOND PART OF THE TOP BIBLE VERSE COMPLETING THE FIRST KIND OF FALL

The second part of the top bible verse above states:

"Let it be wet with the dew of heaven, And let him graze with the beasts On the grass of the earth."

Remember the nature of the first kind of fall determined on Tower of Babel or on that Tree had to do with dividing, dispersing and scattering, things and people that built and bonded it together to stand.

- The Watcher first decreed the isolation of the head (root) of the tree from the rest of its body (tops of the tree). Then he decreed:
- Scattering the gathering/bonding of every leaf from the Tree,
- Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Fruit from the Tree,
- Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Branch from the Tree,
- Scattering the gathering/bonding of every animal from the Tree,
- Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Bird from the Tree,

Now the last bonding the Watcher's decree would scatter or isolate from the Tree was the Personality, the Man or Being of the Tree. He was casting the man out of the Tree into animals, just as the Lord Jesus Christ cast out the Demons called "Legion" out of the body of the man into animals called "Swine," and when those evil spirits bonded with the swine, they preferred suicide than to be host to those evil spirits just as Judas Iscariot; and those swine ran into the lake/sea drowned.

Nebuchadnezzar's being was driven from his Tree (his estate/habitation as king among men), and his portion was with the animals of the field that eat grass. And while it happened, he was still getting wet or baptized from the dew of heaven, even as a beast. The dew of heaven would still be wetting this man-beast, so that even as a beast that eat grass, he would not be like the poverty lean seven cows in Pharaoh's dream of famine, but rather as the fatted cows therein without getting eaten or swallowed by any other beast though same seven years was appointed.
