DANIEL 4:25

[Daniel 4:25 NKJV] - They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

[Daniel 4:25 GWN] - "You will be forced away from people and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle. The dew from the sky will make you wet. And seven time periods will pass until you realize that the Most High has power over human kingdoms and that he gives them to whomever he wishes."


The Goal in that deliberation on Ahab in the general meeting in heaven was this: "Who will persuade Ahab to go up to Ramoth-Gilead and fall?" From the view of the goal, the methods or ways of achieving the goal was heard and the spirit with the best suggestion or the most likely to succeed bidder was awarded the job of achieving that goal, which was to persuade or convince Ahab the king to march into war against Ramoth-Gilead.

The Goal in that deliberation on Job in the general meeting was this: 'To persuade Satan that there is a man (Job) Satan had never been able to make to fall out from the fear of God into any kind of Satan's temptation or sin" (Satan succeded in making Adam and Eve to sin against God and made many to also sin, but Job was out of Satan's abilities). From the view of the goal, Satan blamed the hedge, the health and the prosperity of God given to Job as the reason for Satan's failures at making Job to sin or blaspheme God. Satan's requests for achieving the goal was heard and those things that made Job secure/protected, rich/wealthy, and healthy, were transferred into Satan's hand/possession: - Change of ownership transpired over the things Job had, for they were now given to Satan. If Satan liked he could allow Job to continue having them or if not he could take them away from Satan, if those were the resources he needed to try and either prove God wrong about Job or Satan would get persuaded that a man or son of man could overcome him in weakness, in sickness, in sorrow and in poverty, just as much as in strength, in health, in comfort and in prosperity/riches.

In the top Bible verse above, the goal was this: "Persuade Nebuchadnezzar at the peak or summit of his heaven-reaching greatness and worldwide boundless dominion that there's an Invisible Ruler, the Most High, who rules in the kingdoms of men even when those kingdoms of men literally have visible kings." This was not able convincing an Atheist that an Invisible God true exists, but convincing a king of kings that an Invisible Ruler rules even in his dominion and kingdoms of men, and that this Invisible Ruler is the Most High, higher than the highest. Others are just higher authority, but He is the Highest Authority or Most High or the Supreme overall.

There was a time Israel asked Samuel for a king over Israel, as in, a man to rule over them. Samuel was displeased because their setting up a physical man as king meant rejecting the Invisible and Most High God as King, preferring the kingdoms of men instead of the Kingdom of God as other kingdoms or nations (1 Samuel . So the presence of a physical king in the kingdoms of men was supposed to mean the absence of the reign of God there, but that was not the case atall: Rather the presence of physical kings, rulers or governments, enhanced more of the Invisible influence, rulership and control of the Most High in those Kingdoms of Men or kingdoms where men were the visible kings/rulers.

Here, the goal was to persuade and establish to even the worlds outside Israel, that the Most High do not need the absence of a man king to rule in the kingdom of men; but instead He now gives those kingdoms to the men He chooses, particularly the humble and basest of them. (This Humility or Lowliness in the men God gives the Kingdom of Men was an important detail Daniel omitted in his interpretation in the top bible verse above, which is why when Daniel advised the king on this matter, Daniel only mentioned repentance to righteousness and mercy but omitted humility. So later this terrible thing still happened to Nebuchadnezzar, not because of lacking righteousness in sin nor lacking mercy towards the poor, but because of lacking humility in pride. Daniel was yet to fully grasp grace and treasures of humility as at then).

Since the goal was to persuade such great king that the Most High rules in the Kingdoms of men, how that plays out for two rulers or two captain to be in the same ship, is not just by one being invisible (Even though Invisibility does not mean Absence of the Most High); rather it is basically by the visible one remaining in the humility to the Invisible and the Invisible being the Most High and the Kingmaker to the visible man who is king over the kingdom. This is more message of Humility and the fact that God exalts the humble and pulls down the proud, than it is a message of righteousness or mercy of sitting king. Yes, a king's throne is established by righteousness and mercy according to "Proverbs 16:12, 25:5, Isaiah 16:5;" but the goal of the visions was not about establishing the throne of Nebuchadnezzar but about establishing the Most High's Rules and Authority in Kingmaking in the kingdoms of men. So it's basically "Humility" for it's not the king man proving himself to God, but rather God proving Himself to men that He rules and ordains higher powers/government as well as pulls down/removes them.

Imagine two Arms of Government or Kingdom: One Arm is the Executive, the head, the Commander in Chief and the Sole Administrator. But the other Arm is usually behind the scenes, and the most potent power this arm has is the ability to either impeach/remove the other arm or make/ordain anyone of his choice to replace the Executive Arm anytime. The first Arm is the Decree-Maker or Executive Order or Commander in Chief, but the second Arm is the King-Maker. Which of these two Arms has more power than the other? Supposing you have Apps, AIs, Bots, and Machines, that can execute things far more efficiently than you, and command more than you do or know to do, and are stronger than you, but you have the power to install and uninstall them, to program and deprogram them anytime.

It's simple, the Watchers wanted to prove the point to the greatest earthly king then that He (the Most High) rules in the kingdoms of men: and that point is to be proven by removing that sitting king whom no earth man could have removed from being king except those higher than him; and after proving the Most High can remove him from the kingdom, seven years later they would prove to him the second part/aspect that the Most High can give or make even the most base or downtrodden to become king of the kingdoms of men, when they again return him back into his kingdom without him seeing how possible for him to get that back.

The Centurion, in proving he was a man under authority but also a man with authority, could command those under him to do this or go to anywhere, and they would do as he said. The Lord Jesus, in proving He had power on earth to forgive sins, gave an order to a paralyzed man (whose paralysis was judgment or retribution for his sins) to rise up against the paralysis and walk free from the paralysis, and it was so.

When God was challenging Job to prove to God that Job has powers or abilities as a god, God taunted Job to do some things if he could, and if he does them even God Himself would praise or confess to Job. One of the things God wanted Job to prove himself with is for Job to look at all the proud men on earth and humble them low. That ability to humble/abase the proud and to exalt the base/humble is an attribute of divinity. There are Beasts, Dragons or Proud Elements (including the former Lucifer and the Antichrist) that if you can abase them, then you have proven your divinity in and beyond kingdom authority. As it is written,

[Job 40:9‭-‬14 NKJV] — Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His? Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, And array yourself with glory and beauty. Disperse the rage of your wrath; Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low; Tread down the wicked in their place. Hide them in the dust together, Bind their faces in hidden darkness. Then I will also confess to you That your own right hand can save you.

Let's conclude the top Bible verse above with these five enumerations:

*1* The Goal of getting that great King of Babylon empire to know and confess that "The Most High rules in the Kingdoms of men and appoints their Kings as He pleases (and that their pride cannot prevent Him from removing them, neither can humbleness or baseness prevent Him from making them kings).

*2* To get Nebuchadnezzar the great king at that point to know and acknowledge that, as in the goal, required removing king Nebuchadnezzar from being king (and later returning him to being king), which was humanly impossible to do in all nations of the world then. No coup d'etat or conspiracy or group of people/kings could have removed Nebuchadnezzar from being king.

*3* Even if God removed Nebuchadnezzar from being king, wherever he goes or wherever he is among men, people would still take him as king because his dominion already reached the ends of the earth. So it was not possible for Nebuchadnezzar to not be king and walk as ordinary man on earth again, unless death separates him from the living and from the kingdom. He was that head of gold in the vision, not just his kingdom, and he was that tree. The kingdom and the man (Nebuchadnezzar) were one or the same at that time.

*4* So the only way to remove or separate him from the kingdom without his death among the living, was by removing or separating him from humanity, from being a man. Because even if he was a madman, he would still be king or kingdom of a mad king. But the wisdom of God separated him from being a man into being an beast or animal that eats grass and totally off from normal society being able to have any use for him. The Most High and His Watchers worked that purpose.

*5* To keep him away from the kingdom and therefore from his pride, was to keep him away from being a man: for once he becomes a man again, the kingdom would automatically go back to reuniting with Nebuchadnezzar. But He who was able to separate Nebuchadnezzar from the kingdom for seven years to where he could never return from by human strength and was able return him back after seven years from where no human abilities or technology could have returned him from, He who accomplished these on him is surely the Most Ruler in the kingdoms of men, and the King-maker as well as the man-maker thereof. They said, "To be a man is not a day's job;" but they shall say, "To be a man is God's job." For He who made the beast become man in a day is He who made the man become king of the kingdoms in a day.

DANIEL 4:24

[Daniel 4:24 BSB] - This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree that the Most High has issued against my Lord the king:

[Daniel 4:24 FBV] - This is what it means, Your Majesty, and what the Most High has decreed will happen to my Lord the king.



In this bible verse, the Interpreter guaranteed "The interpretation/meaning" of the vision and "The Decree/Saying of the Most High" were exactly the same. This means, the interpretation or meaning the interpreter was going to share on that vision/scripture was not going to be different from what the Most High God decreed or said and meant in the same.

I have crossed interpreters, teachers or pastors who when they interpret, explain or give meaning to God's scriptures, prophecies or visions, their interpretation or message would be different from that which the Most high God decreed, declared or is even saying by those scriptures or signs. They do this especially when they are in the presence of a king, politician, governor, rich men or powerful men. E.g.

Four hundred prophets were prophesying before two kings, telling those kings to go up against Ramoth-Gilead and prosper with divine prosperity, and one made horn sign and gave the interpretation/meaning in the same tune of God endorsing those kings, and they sincerely felt the Spirit of God was the one moving them, but it was a lying spirit that came upon those prophets, and their interpretation or message was different from what the Most High decreed upon that king, Ahab.

[2 Chronicles 18:11‭-‬24 BSB] — [b]And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.” Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.” But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I will speak whatever my God tells me.” When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be given into your hand.” But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord?” So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’” Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?” Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right and on His left. And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that. Then a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the Lord. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced disaster against you.” Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when He departed from me to speak with you?” Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”[/b]

Behold in the top Bible verse above, Daniel would still give the true meaning or true interpretation and message that exactly matches what the Most High God has pronounced or decreed upon the king Nebuchadnezzar, inspite of his human feelings for his lord or boss, Nebuchadnezzar the king, and though he earlier wished it applies to the enemy or hater of his boss and not to him. It was not a pleasant message or interpretation to say to a king or dignitaries that one respects, but it's required in a steward or servant of Christ that a man be found faithful and true as handlers of the Words of the Most High God and the Gospel.

[2 Corinthians 2:17 ICB] — We do not sell the word of God for a profit as many other people do. But in Christ we speak the truth before God. We speak as men sent from God.

[1 Thessalonians 2:3‭-‬6 BSB] — For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery. Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts. As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness! Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.

Let your interpretation or explanation of prophecies/scriptures be the same as the sayings/decrees of the Spirit of God to the churches, and do not make sectarian or private interpretation to what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches. As it is written,

[2 Peter 1:20-21] — "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

[1 Peter 4:11] — "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

DANIEL 4:23

[Daniel 4:23 AFV] - And as the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, 'Cut the tree down and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots of it in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the animals of the field until seven times pass over him.'

[Daniel 4:23 GNB] - While your majesty was watching, an angel came down from heaven and said, 'Cut the tree down and destroy it, but leave the stump in the ground. Wrap a band of iron and bronze around it, and leave it there in the field with the grass. Let the dew fall on this man, and let him live there with the animals for seven years.'



It's in one and same dream, but that one dream contained two basic visions. It's like how they say in drama or theatre art, "Act One, Scene one and Scene Two." In the beginning of "Revelation 12" John wrote he saw a wonder appear in heaven consisting of a woman clothed with the sun, moon under her feet and crown of 12 stars on her head, being at the point of childbearing. Then suddenly another wonder appeared in the same heaven consisting of a great red dragon with seven heads with the specific number of crowns. Each of these were different visions or appearances made in the same revelation in as much as both of them did not appear at the same time in that revelation or dream.

So if they do not appear or occur at the same time in the environment/platform of the dream or revelation, and one suddenly appeared or occured into the realm that the first already appeared or had been, then they are two or more distinct visions in the same dream or revelation. So Nebuchadnezzar had a dream but had visions in the dream according to Daniel 4:5

In the top Bible verse above, Daniel the interpreter was beginning the refferencing and interpreting of the second vision Nebuchadnezzar saw in that dream. The first vision was focusing on the glories, beauties, strengths, powers, greatness, dominion, fame and activities of that Tree. But herein was the second vision focusing on "He/What came after to undo what came before."

Have this clue, when you have a dream in which the first vision brings the building up or goodness of some things in the vision, but later there came in another vision or appearance of some things bringing the destruction or pulling down of what was built or good in the first comer, then take that clue as a sign that the interpretation of the dream will have unpleasant or bad news ending. Better to begin seeing things down or bad in condition in a dream but in the ending things were built or improved, than seeing them built and good in the beginning of a dream but in the ending they were ruined.

Let it occur to you that many of the Kings that had troubling dreams and visions of their heads in the night saw things in the beginning of their dream in good conditions, but later saw the latter condition of those things getting ruined or destroyed by the second visions/comers that appeared in the same dream. For example:

*A* Pharaoh of Egypt first saw seven fatted cows (built and in good conditions) come out of the river nile in the first vision of his first dream; but later in the same dream saw seven terrible cows (in bad conditions) come out of the same river in the second vision or appearance of that first dream; and the second comers devoured or ruined the first comers.

*B* Pharaoh of Egypt second dream was like the first dream, only that the elements were now plants of corn instead of cows.

*C* Chief Baker of Pharaoh in prison first saw in his dream three white baskets full of baked food or confectionaries for Pharaoh (good things) in his first vision; but later in his second vision of the same dream the birds appeared devouring or ruining the food stuffs in those baskets on his head (bad news).

*D* Nebuchadnezzar's first dream had a vision of a giant statue of man (built and in good conditions) standing tall in the first vision of his first dream; but later in the same dream he saw a Stone cut without hands fell upon the feet of the statue in the second vision or appearance of that first dream; and the second comer (the Stone) destroyed or ruined the first comer, the Wind that blew inside the dream helped the Stone in eradicating every traces of the Statue. However, that dream did not truly end in sorrow or bad news because the Stone that destroyed the first comer suddenly began to grew and enlarge into greatness and dominion far more greater than the first comer had ever been to filling the entire globe. That was not just goodnews but gospel. For unlike how the seven terrible cows that devoured the seven fatted ones did not become built-up or great in Pharaoh's dream but remained as terrible as they were after destroying the built and good ones; the Stone in Nebuchadnezzar's dream destroyed but also built up far greater than it destroyed in the same dream.

*E* Nebuchadnezzar's second dream had a vision of a great heaven-reaching tree (built and in good conditions) standing and doing prosperously in the first vision of his second dream; but later in the same dream he saw a Watcher (holy One) appear coming down from heaven and sentenced that tree to a judgment that would cut the tree down, destroy it but not total destruction because its stump would still be spared but bound with brass and steel, and the man of the tree driven into sharing portions and heart with the beasts of the field, getting wet from heavenly dews but eating grassess trampled by animals for seven years in the second vision or appearance of that second dream; and the second comer (the Watcher and His Declaration) destroyed or ruined the first comer. However, there was comtemplation of hope and gospel of restoration or rebuilding what was destroyed or ruined in a new, different or better way.

I already shared some of the things to understand about the watcher's speech and things said in the top bible verse above when the top bible verse was "Daniel 4:13-17" in my preceding commentaries. I would upload them in my website after i am done with this chapter.

DANIEL 4:22

[Daniel 4:22 BSB] - You, O king, are that tree! For you have become great and strong; your greatness has grown to reach the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.

[Daniel 4:22 GNB] - "Your Majesty, you are the tree, tall and strong. You have grown so great that you reach the sky, and your power extends over the whole world.



The Lord is that Spirit the filled the heavens and earth,but Nebuchadnezzar the king was that Tree whose greatness reached the heavens and whose dominion extends throughout the entire earth. Thus was the final establishment of the Link or Connection of the Tree in the Vision to the physical man. Not every man has been able to point the character or person in a mysterious vision, prophecy or revelation, to a man or woman in the physical. When the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, walked the earth, not every spiritual man was able to link or point to Him as He who was prophesied, foretold or revealed to come. Even those who knew the prophecy that Elijah must come first before Messiah comes, they were still preaching and teaching that while right under their nose John the Baptist was the Elijah to come and the Lord Jesus was the Christ or Messiah, but they still could not link those who were in prophecies/visions to those who they were neighboring with.

That is basic difference between "Having Knowledge/Understanding" and "Having Discernment" as an interpreter. Not all interpreters who have the understanding or knowledge also have the discernment to connect, link or recognise in physical what they already know in the spiritual. Discernment is the ability to know the physical or manifest linkage/connection to hidden, invisible or spiritual things/ideas/personalities.

My point here is that there may be interpreters who can explain the idea, theory or exegesis, of a vision, revelation, scripture or sign, but yet those interpreters cannot connect or link even the actors or characters in their theories to practical identification or recognition of them. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ was walking with the two on the road to Emmaus from Jerusalem; and the LORD Himself was explaining everything from books to books of the scriptures the things written about Him (Jesus) to the two, and they were understanding the link, but failed to know/discern on time the most important link of knowing the same Man talking to them is the Man in the revelations, prophecies, visions etc. It's like some who are good in mathematics but cannot apply his knowledge of mathematics into practical daily activities or like someone good in video games or movies but do not have same intuition in practical living as he does in virtual/abstract worlds.

Somehow, some of the people who condemned or rejected the Lord Jesus Christ were teachers or interpreters who knew the law and the prophets about Him but did not have ability of discerning or linking the Character in their ideal knowledge/doctrine to the Man manifest before them. Even now, there may be interpreters who understand the theories about the Antichrist, but that does not mean they can easily discern or point to any man on earth and say this man is that man in the vision or prophesy. Who was that disciple of the Lord that found Nathanael and said, "We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." And Nathanael asked him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" He was Philip of Bathsaida, who was able to link the Man in physical with the Man in Moses and the Prophets writings and prophecies.

Supposing two ministers of God, Mr. A and Mr. B, do give words of knowledge or interpretation:

*1* Mr. A would speak in the midst of a crowded congregation, saying, "The Lord says there is someone here, this and that happened or will happen to you." But Mr. A does not even know who he is talking about nor can he identify the person among the crowd assuming the Lord said that to him. And because there's probability or chance of such among the crowd so that even more than one person could fit that description, all the crowd would just shout Amen to that Mr. A's speech.

*2* On the other hand, Mr. B speaking in the midst of similar crowded congregation, saying the same thing but very precise, pointing out either the name, the marks, the personal identification, coloration or description of the person's identity in the midst of the multitude, without any ambiguity nor playing with chances.

Surely, Mr. B is better interpreter because he is not only able to link spiritual things to spiritual alone, but he is also able to link spiritual things to physical in the realities of flesh and blood.

Thus, Daniel a higher interpreter was able to link the spiritual or figurative to the physical, saying, "You, o king, are that Tree" (that was seen in the vision). And Daniel also explained the reason to be because "For you have become great and strong; your greatness has grown to reach the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth." That tree was reflecting his achievements and what he had become in the heights and expanse of man's epitome of strength, greatness and dominion.

Talking about "Greatness and Dominion" as applied by Daniel here: Both grew, but they did not grow in the same axis or direction:

*A* Greatness grows Vertically - reaching through the heavens in height

*B* Dominion grows Horizontally - expanding in territories until reaching the ends of all the earth.

Greatness is measured in heights, and Dominion is measured in spans/spreads. And since there were not too many things in visions or dreams that either grew from earth to heavens in height or grew to cover the entire earth in spreads, let mention dreams or visions that had any of such in the bible.

1. The Flood of Noah [Both Greatness (height) and Dominion (spread)], the Smoking of the Fire and Brimstone that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah [height only], the Tower of Babel pursuing height or greatness.

2. The Ladder in Jacob's dream (Greatness with height reaching heaven) and the Stone in Nebuchadnezzar's first dream that grew in spread as a Mountain that covered the entire earth (Dominion/Kingdom of Heaven). Both that Ladder and the Stone link to the Lord Jesus Christ.

3. O Lord, Be You exalted above all heavens, and let Your Glory be above all the earth (Psalms 57:5,11), and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

4. In Revelation, the sins or iniquities of Babylon was so great that it reached the heavens in height having spread her fornication through out the world (Revelation 18:5). But in better contrast, the faithfulness and Righteousness of God reaches far more into the heavens than the sins of Babylon. As it is written,

LORD, Your stedfast Love extends to the heavens; Your Faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your Righteousness is towering like the majestic mountains; your Wisdom is like the depths of the sea. People and animals are in Your care. (Psalms 36:5-6)

DANIEL 4:21

[Daniel 4:21 BSB] — whose foliage was beautiful and whose fruit was abundant, providing food for all, under which the beasts of the field lived, and in whose branches the birds of the air nested—

[Daniel 4:21 AKJV] — "Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelled, and on whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:"


In this bible verse above, the interpreter (Daniel) continued linking together the various aspects and multidimensionality of the same Tree, especially considering one cannot naturally point to any earthly Tree that has/does all of those things that same Tree had/did in the top bible verses or in the vision. On earth as it is now, these attributes ascribed to that one Tree would have been distributed among various trees or would take almost all trees around coming together to achieve what that single Tree had achieved alone in the vision. Examples:

*1* A Tree whose leaves (foliage) were beautiful and fair: The tree that has this must be among the "Lilies or Flower-Trees" and such trees that have beautiful leaves or are as fair flowers usually have thorns in their branches, weak branches or produce little food/fruits for all. While many of the Trees that produce more food/fruits come with leaves that are not so attractive nor beautiful. But that Tree in the Visionic Dream had/did all these qualities as single (body count).

*2* A Tree whose fruit was abundant, and providing food for all: Naturally, you don't find one earthly tree capable of bearing fruits for all, or have abundance of food for all nations and creatures on earth. It takes almost all the food crops and fruit trees to produce enough to feed the whole world, not one single tree alone. But that Tree in the Visionic Dream had/did all these qualities singularly.

*3* A Tree under which the Beasts of the Field dwelt: Naturally, you don't find an earthly tree capable of bearing or accommodating various beasts of the field alone unless that tree is big enough to fund the entire building of Noah's Ark from its resources alone. But that Tree in the Visionic Dream had/did all these qualities alone. Technically, the Beasts of the Field became the Beasts of that Tree.

*4* A Tree on whose branches the Birds of heaven had their habitats: Naturally, you don't find an earthly tree capable of bearing or accommodating various birds of heaven alone. But that Tree in the Visionic Dream had/did all these qualities alone. Technically, the Birds of heaven became Birds of that Tree.

People have said, "Jack of all trades is master of none;" but that Tree was doing all those and was also master of them all. Yet, the Tree's body count was one person.

Remember, the interpreter was establishing the linking in the top bible verse above, and we saw that tree alone doing what naturally would take an entire group or collection of various trees to do. Yet that does mean or link the Tree in the vision to represent multiple persons; rather inspite of all those feats, the tree was just one single individual: (Not a nation, not an organization or a body of people).

In contrast to this, there are visions in which one tree, one man or one animal, represent different people or kingdoms, just as Nebuchadnezzar's first dream was a statue of one man but in interpretation that one man represented various kings of kings or kingdoms till the endtimes. Example of a Tree that represents various people is as the True Vine (The Lord Jesus) while the Branches and Fruits on that Vine are His People. As Paul related, One Body but having many Members of the One Body represent different people. Or a beast in a vision, in which the beast is one but having a number of heads and horns that represent different individuals.

In the preceding top bible verse I pointed out that lookalikes, semblance or ethnicity in visions do not determine a True Interpreter's linkage or connectivity; rather the Mind or Message of God through the interpreter determines the links or connection. But in this top bible verse I hereby point out that true interpreters also have "Numbering System or Number Bases" different from how natural people would statistically number or count persons, times or things in a vision.

Like Joseph the interpreter, three branches of a vine tree may not represent people but represent three days (time), while seven tree of corn in one stalk represent seven years. Interpreters have the Mind of God to know His message or meaning intended when they hear or behold the coded and encrypted data in a heavenly vision/communication: This usually come as Word of Knowledge in them.

UNVEILING THE TREE-LINK

DANIEL 4:20

[Daniel 4:20 NKJV] — “The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,

[Daniel 4:20 AMPC] — The tree that you saw, which grew [great] and was strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which was visible to all the earth,



In this bible verse above, the interpreter (Daniel) began to unveil the eyes of the seer (Nebuchadnezzar the visioner/dreamer) in the same vision the seer saw with the references to the things he saw and knew, particularly the details of the tree.

Many times, unveiling the eyes that already see so that the eyes can see through unveiled (or without veil) clearly, is like making someone to see things in 3D (Three dimensions) that he already saw in 2D (Two Dimensions) or to perceive things in 4D (Four dimensions) that he already or only saw in 3-D.

However in spiritual terms, we are not after seeing things in dimensions, but seeing things in how God and His Holy Heavens see those things. So our 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D etc, are simply seeing things by the Holy Spirit of God from and as the Sight of God views/sees them, with eternal parameters and seeing the links or connections. Sometimes all unveiling the eyes just needs is to make a seer see the links or connections, just as Daniel was about to make Nebuchadnezzar to see the link or connection of that tree to himself the seer. That's in situations when you do not know the person or thing you are seeing is either you, your loved one, or the Lord Himself, because of the appearance or masking. There are also cases of false links or presumptions that unveiling the eyes breaks off from how the seer saw those things in self-centeredness or selfish ambition. It's like when Haman presumed (falsely linked) or read himself into being the man the kingdom of Persia (that overthrew Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian kingdom) wished to honor and to give national/international awards, just because the king favored and enquired from him. Such false links are called "Deceptions" by which Lucifer was deceived, and the devil uses such to deceive; but unveiling the eyes cast such deceptions away.

Talking about "Linking or Connections" in unveiling of a Seer's: — In the top bible above, Daniel the interpreter began "Linking" that Tree which the Seer Saw until he finally linked that Tree to the Seer's Being:

*1* First, Daniel linked: — The tree that you saw links to that tree which grew; - The fact that there was "Growing up" or "Increase" that brought some changes to that tree he saw does not make the grown tree different from the first sighted.

*2* Secondly, Daniel linked: — The same tree is that which grew strong: — The fact that there was "Growing Strength" or "Increase in Might" that brought some changes to that tree he saw does not make the stronger tree different from the first sighted.

*3* Thirdly, Daniel linked: — The same tree is that whose height reached the heavens: — The fact that there was "Growing Height" or "Increase in Tallness" that brought some changes to that tree he saw does not make the stronger tree different from the first sighted, even when the top of the tree was in the heavens, the watchers in the holy heavens were talking about the tree as the trending news

*4* Fourthly, Daniel linked: — The same tree he saw is that which was seen and visible in all the earth: — The fact that there was migration from "obscurity" to "worldwide visibility or fame" so that the tree that was once hidden could no longer be hidden anywhere or by any covering/building on earth did not change it. Are you the same tree he first sighted when you could only be seen by caring visioners in dreams that appeared unreal, but now even outside dreams or special visions everybody sees you without needing binoculars to see you? Yes, the same.

So the interpreter established the links or connection: For there are "Differences or Changes" in mysterious visions that are more connected or linked in sameness or similarities, than the seemingly similarities or likeness in them are connected. For example:

Pharaoh had two dreams or visions in the same night: In one vision, there were seven fatted cows and seven lean cows - all having one common similarity of being "Cows" or "Cattle family." In the second vision, there were seven fatted plants or trees of corn and then seven lean trees of corn on one stalk - all having one common similarity of being plants of the same seedling. But when Joseph the interpreter began establishing their "Linking" or "Connection;" he revealed the seven fatted cows were more related or same with fat trees of corn than they appear related to their family of cattle or grain. Their natural boundaries of specie and similitude was not used in judging their linking or connection; rather their roles in the message of God which they represented in the communication is what is used to establish their links or connection. It's like saying, a foreigner from outside your family, tribe or country is more related or linked to you in same calling and goals than your own brethren or members of your own sects who are more likely to devour you like the Lean cows/trees devoured their fatted brethren.

Nathan gave a parable of a poor man that was living with a sheep he treated as his daughter, so that he shared things in common with that sheep until a rich man somewhere came and grab that poor man's sheep to prepare meat for his visitor (traveller) even though the rich man had many sheep of his own that he did not want to use. In the linkage, the sheep in the parable was more linked to humans than to animal sheep. Sheep in that parable here were wives, visitor here meant sexual urge/libido that came to the rich man, the rich man was David the king, the poor man was Uriah, and the poor man's sheep that was butchered and used for meat to the rich man's visitor was Uriah's wife (married woman) that David took and slept with inorder to meet his sexual urge and libido in adultery which is fornication
[2 Samuel 12:1-12].

ATTUNEMENT OF A MAN OF GOD

DANIEL 4:19

[Daniel 4:19 AKJV] — "Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate you, and the interpretation thereof to your enemies."

[Daniel 4:19 FBV] — When Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) heard this, he was upset for a while, disturbed as he thought about it. The king told him, “Belteshazzar, don't be worried about the dream and what it means.” “My Lord, I only wish this dream was for those who hate you and the explanation for your enemies,” Daniel replied.



Daniel too was troubled by that dream (vision) of the king: but his disturbance was not arising from lacking capacity to comprehend, understand or interpret the dream (vision) meaning (unlike the case with the others disturbed/troubled by it before Daniel); instead, Daniel's disturbance (troubling) arose from understanding or knowing the meaning (interpretation) and message but lacking capacity to alter (change), prevent or redirect the application or implication of the dream (vision) away from his lord (Nebuchadnezzar) to apply to the enemies (haters) of his lord.

What a vision? If you hear or see it without knowing its meaning you are in trouble, and if you hear or see it knowing its meaning or message you are also in trouble and responsibility is on you to help save or warn those who are in danger thereof or targeted. So the only way to avoid trouble that comes with either not knowing or knowing the meaning of such visions (mysteries) is by never hearing or seeing them (unawareness/cluelessness). Yet even with that, ignorance or lack of knowledge destroys the oblivious (clueless).

Nevertheless, such troubling or fears like Daniel had in the bible verse above was neither from God nor endorsed by God. It does not always please God when we find His messages fearful, disturbing and scary, when in reality and in truth the messages of God are glorious, wonderful, attractive, full of wisdom and riches: our fallen nature sees His Truths as bitter, when His Truths are sweeter than honey. So God doesn't play mind games with us, but reality and truth: God is Fearful, and the Fear of God is the Beginning of true Wisdom; but also and more so, God is Love, and the Love of God is the Height of true Wisdom.

We saw the Watcher (holy one) from heaven come and speak that message to the king in dream without the Watcher being troubled or disturbed by the message to the king. If the holy one from heaven was not disturbed/troubled by the message, and the Holy Spirit in Daniel was not disturbed/troubled by the message, then Daniel being disturbed or troubled by the message was according to his flesh (carnal) and not according to the Holy Spirit or Holy Ones in heaven (spiritual).

So Nebuchadnezzar himself was more aligned with the Holy Spirit than Daniel was in this very bible verse, because Nebuchadnezzar exhorted Daniel to not allow either the dream or its interpretation (message) to trouble him.

You see that even men of God that are supposed to be spiritually minded sometimes are out of alignment with the Lord and His Spirit when those men of God are aligning and approaching with human methods and human compassion. You know how some doctors and nurses are trained to subdue some natural feelings for patients or sick ones in the sight of their blood and pains in order to administer to them the proper and right treatment that would cure them and help them better. That's how ministers and men of God must subdue in their approach human compassion (sympathy) to administer divine solutions to the problems and needs of men. The Lord has told us that human compassion many times worked contrary to human oppression in solving people's problems. And that even He Himself (Jesus) did not heal or improved everyone He had human compassion for when He walked the earth even though He had the power to just wave His Hand and remove all poverty, all sickness and all pains/troubles, in all human, and He had the compassion or urge to do so, yet He did move by human compassion but subjected Himself to the Will or Spirit of His Father. He feels our pains and sufferings because He's full of both human and divine Compassion and Love; and He even weeps for us with groanings and intercessions, yet He does not take laws into His Hand either to act out of compassion (positively) or to act out of condemnation (negatively) by taking laws into His Hand without His Father's Will and Spirit leading Him no matter the fact that all power in heaven and earth is wield by Him (The Lord Jesus Christ).

There were many sick and needy people in the Lord's community among His relations, and though the Lord Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and went about doing good and healing all, yet He did not heal all of them in His own country. There were many widows and orphans in Israel in the days of Elijah, and he had the word of power to relieve them of their hunger and penury, yet he was not sent by God to any of the widow and orphanage home in Israel but sent to travel out of Israel to a widow and orphanage home outside Israel among the Sidonians. There were many lepers in Israel including those lepers that found food for the starving country, but Elisha that had the power to heal did not heal any leper in the entire Israel except lepers from Syria (Naaman).

I'm not talking to you as an ordinary man about compassion, because God already commanded you to have compassion for your neighbor as a good Samaritan. But if you are bearing the anointing and power of God or a man of God, the rules about showing or having compassion are different from ordinary people's rules. As a man of God, you can abuse the anointing or grace of God on you by human compassion or sympathy just as Saul's second disobedience was having compassion on some Amalekites and was thus rejected from being king; which is why some pastors out of compassion are preaching and prophesying prosperity, miracles and healing messages to the people in need but in a spiritual perspective those pastors are doing more damage by their compassionate and comfortable ministrations than they intended. This is not saying all compassionate or comfortable messages or ministerations are doing so. Rather I'm saying let even your compassion and desire for the prosperity, blessings, healings and miracles of your people or congregation be led by the Will and Spirit of God.

As a man of God, if you remove consequences (responsibilities) of people's actions and replace consequences with compassion, you fail as a true man of God. However, you can have someone, especially the Lord Jesus, to share consequences of other people's actions, but they must also share partly or know the consequences even when another man carries the weight for them. That's the greatest compassion a man of God shows to anyone - Declaring the consequences of their actions and then making them behold or see the Lord Jesus who suffers or the people who suffer these. This just as the Lord could have just remove the suffering in the world by compassion or return Adam back into the Garden without the sufferings: but instead of expressing such kind of love or compassion, the Love of God was expressed by His Son coming to suffer the consequences on men's behalf: Thus both Consequences and Compassion were fulfilled in His Cross.

Not like Daniel did in the top Bible verse above, wherein Daniel was showing compassion to his lord, Nebuchadnezzar, but removing consequences from him and putting the consequences of Nebuchadnezzar's sins on the haters or enemies of Nebuchadnezzar by wishing or praying the application of that dream should be to the enemies and haters of Nebuchadnezzar instead of to Nebuchadnezzar. In some way, what Daniel was saying to his lord Nebuchadnezzar in this bible verse above was like what Peter was saying to his Lord Jesus, saying God forbid those things (sufferings/humiliation/death) from befalling You (Jesus) as prophesied or revealed by the Lord (Matthew 16:21-23).

Do you think Peter is more loving or more compassionate than the Father God towards the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God? Do you think Daniel is more loving or more compassionate than God towards the king Nebuchadnezzar? Do you think you are more or more compassionate than God towards any man?

Now supposing this wish or prayer of Daniel came through, and that dream or vision of Nebuchadnezzar was then applied to his enemies or haters, leaving Nebuchadnezzar to continue as he is by the compassion and intercession of Daniel without consequences on Nebuchadnezzar's pride and wickedness: That means the king of pride would not have been stopped or humiliated from arrogating all the glory to himself and to the power of his own majesty. Meaning he would not have known or seen the power of God or the Kingdom of God because the living would not have known that there's a Most High above this great king, and that the Most High rules even beyond how much that king rules in the kingdoms of men, and the Most High is the True King-Maker. Neither would Nebuchadnezzar the king repent and convert into the faith because Daniel's prayer/wish prevented and deflected this heavenly vision out of compassion for his boss and lord or out of opportunity of staying supportive and relevant in his office and job under his boss.

On the flip side, those enemies or haters of Daniel's boss would have become the beasts, suffered seven years with beast's understanding, and then regain better understanding of the Kingdom of God and the rules of the most High, and because they became most humbled or basest among men, the Most High who set the basest or most humbled of men over the kingdoms of men would have set the enemies and haters of Nebuchadnezzar over the kingdoms of men instead of Nebuchadnezzar. Therefore Daniel shall witness how another base or humble one that was actually an enemy or hater of his boss, Nebuchadnezzar, shall become set over the kingdoms of men as the leader of the Medo-Persian empire.

DANIEL 4:18

[Daniel 4:18 NKJV] — “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.”

[Daniel 4:18 FBV] — This is what I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw in my dream. Now it's up to you, Belteshazzar, to give me the explanation as you have before. None of the wise men in my kingdom could explain it to me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”

My point is unlike what Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible verse above was implying, having the Holy Spirit of the Holy God in you does not still guarantee your ability to interpret or understand hard dreams or visions or mysteries revealed, unless God gave you the gifts of understanding/interpretation of visions and mysteries. It was not just the Spirit of God in Daniel, but also the "Understanding of Visions and Dreams" in Daniel, which was not even in Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego:

[Daniel 1:17 NKJV] — As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

To be an interpreter is to be one man among a thousand and to have ability to communicate understanding of dreams, visions or mysteries. Such Interpreters are not common but are as one in a thousand men.

[Job 33:23 AKJV] — "If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man His uprightness:"

For instance, even with having the Holy Spirit of God in Christians, yet not all Christians fully understand the scriptures, the revelations, the visions or the mysteries of God. That is also why after God gave the Church the Holy Spirit, He still had to give them Apostles, Prophets, Pastors and Teachers, for them to attain the Knowledge of Christ and mysteries of God. Why would they still need these interpreters if having the Holy Spirit of God inside them was enough? Didn't the Lord Jesus promise that when the Spirit of Truth comes He would guide or teach us all things as the Teacher Himself? Each of us have the Holy Spirit of God, and yet we still need each other for learning, for interpretation and understanding, for edification of the Church that already has the Holy Spirit of God inside Her.

Again, at a point, even Daniel that had the Spirit of the Holy God inside him at a point saw visions that were beyond him and needed angels to interpret or unveil his visions to him.

Now, let's group the men mentioned in the bible verse above into three groups:

*1* Group One: Those who are seers, able to see or received Dreams and Visions from God, but are neither with understanding of their visions nor able to interpret.

*2" Group Two: Those who are wise men (intelligent men), but they are not understanding men in visions, dreams and in the mysteries of God.

*3* Group Three: Those who have understanding in visions by the Spirit of God.

In the last days, God poured out His Holy Spirit upon all flesh, sons and daughters are prophesying by the Spirit of God, old men are dreaming dreams in their old age by the Spirit of God, and young men are seeing visions in their youth by the Spirit of God. Nothing was said about them having understanding or interpreting their prophecies, their dreams and their visions.

In terms of 'Visions/dreams' and 'Understanding/interpretation:'

*A* The scripture dreams/visions Nebuchadnezzar saw were beyond him in terms of understanding but not beyond a Holy Spirit filled man of God called Daniel. True to what Nebuchadnezzar said in the top bible verse above. Same with Pharaoh's dreams/visions in the scriptures greater than him in terms of understanding but not greater than a Holy Spirit filled man of God called Joseph.

*B* However, even the Holy Spirit filled Daniel himself had visions or revelations that were beyond him in terms of understanding but not beyond those angels sent to help him understand.

So spiritually, greater is he who understands or interprets than he who saw visions, dreams or revelations, beyond his understanding or ability to explain. This is because understanding and explaining visions, dreams, revelations or mysteries edifies the church more than seeing/saying them without explanation. It's like one man (Mr. A) comes to you and reads the scriptures (bible reading) to you and then left; but another man (Mr. B) comes to you and explains or interprets all the scriptures (bible you read) opening your understanding in the scriptures: Surely, the interpreter (Mr. B) edified you more than the Bible reader did because he gave you more understanding while the former gave you more hearing or seeing. Spiritually, the one who edifies more is greater than the other in ministry or in ranking of spiritual gifts. Giving someone the understanding of the bible is greater than giving someone the bible as a gift.

What are you sharing while ministering? Hearing or Understanding? Seeing visions or Perceiving (understanding) them? If your ministry is like speaking in tongues, speaking in mysteries or speaking in parables like the Lord Jesus sometimes did, you are basically sharing "Hearings" or "Seeings" to people but not sharing true "Understanding (Edification)" to them. Many ministries are like those of speaking in tongues, parables or mysteries, because though they are ministering sights and sounds, seeings and hearings, (entertainments), they are not imparting understanding or opening of the eye of the blind (unveiling of the veiled eyes) to even those they minister hearings of the words of God and seeings of mighty works, signs and wonders, but empty understanding. As it is written,

[Matthew 13:13-15 BSB] — "This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’"

Better to be in a church that would speak five words to your understanding, than to be in a church that would speak thousands of words in prayers, in speaking in tongues, in parables, in visions or in mysteries, and not one of those words truly goes into your understanding. Understanding is greater than hearing or seeing things, because understanding edifies more than dramas and shows.
[b]
[1 Corinthians 14:12-13] — "It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church. Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret (give understanding)."

Pray that you may interpret means [/b]pray that you may understand and speak true understanding, not just speaking tongues or speaking in hearings to people without communicating understanding that unveils their eyes and edifies them.

It's not only women that Paul commanded to keep silence in the church, for he also commanded whoever has something to say that would require an interpreter to explain after it has been said, such a person should keep silence in the church if there's no interpreter in the church to give understanding of what he says.

[1 Corinthians 14:28 AKJV] — "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."

[Proverbs 21:16] — "The man that wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the church of the dead."

The House of God is edified or built through wisdom with understanding. Thus the more understanding you have to give to members of His Body, the more you have to build the House of God. Are you a wise builder of the House of God? Then you keep feeding His People with Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding that edify the Church. As it is written,

[Proverbs 24:3-4 NKJV] — "Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches."

DANIEL 4:17

[Daniel 4:17 NKJV] — ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’

[Daniel 4:17 AKJV] — "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will, and sets up over it the basest of men."


Does the Council of Watchers or Holy Ones in heaven have the right/authority to issue such decree and court sentence to a reigning king of kings in an entirely different kingdom that does not belong to them but to me ruling men? Do holy angels have authority to judge the living, though they have authority to judge the dead and send them either to Hell, Tartarus or to Paradise, for after death comes judgment? The Lord Jesus once asked a man that requested Him to judge the sharing of their late father's property between him and his greedy brother that wanted to take all their father's property without sharing with his younger brother: The Lord Jesus replied the complainant, saying:

[Luke 12:14] — "Mr. Man, who made Me a Judge or a Divider over you?"

Talk of Jurisdiction, was it within the Jurisdiction of the holy angels or watchers to judge and determine the political leadership and kingdom of the sons of men? The other time that Watchers involved themselves with the daughters of men and with marriages of men, those Watchers caused terrible troubles and problems both on the sons of men and on themselves that mingled their seeds with the daughters of men. Now these sets of holy Watchers are involving themselves with the kingdoms of men and making decisions over dominions, governments and politics of men.



In the top Bible verse above, the decision of the court (Council of holy Watchers) sitting in far heavens sentenced a sitting King of king and sovereign ruler of the earth realm (world) to seven years metamorphic captivity, driving him out of his throne, out of his estate, out of his being a descendant of Adam or Noah as a man, and out of his human heart, to becoming a beast among beasts.

He was not even there in the court that decided his matter and sentenced him without fair hearing/fair trial. Neither was his attorney or lawyer in the Court of Holy Watchers in the heavens, for it's not easy for a man to enter heaven even if it's to attend the sitting of his court case. The Court of Holy Watchers in heaven however sent one of them to come down and declare the decree of the Council to the King so judged. This was way different from how the International Criminal Court (ICC) sat and convicted a sitting Prime of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, of war crimes and mass murder, for his war in Gaza, and declared his arrest. Rather more like the Assembly in heaven before the Throne of God, deciding who would go to entice Ahab (then sitting king of Israel) to go and wage war against Ramoth Gilead and thereby be killed (1 Kings 22:19-23). Not talking about a sitting ruler of Iran, who after firing weapons against Israel that couldn't prosper against Israel, his own aircraft crashed and he died with his foreign minister on board.

Again in the top Bible verse above, the Holy Watcher stated there Goal of doing this as an "Example" or "Learning Reference" for all other Living people on earth (including you and I) to learn from what they have done and what happened to the greatest, strongest and most golden kingdom or king of kings then, to know that the Most High rules in the kingdoms of men, and gives it to whomever the Most High wills, and sets over them even the lowest or most humble of them.

*A* To the intent that the Living may know….: - The dead already know the judgments of God and holy angels to some degree, knowing how the Most High rules, not just in the kingdoms of men, but also in the activities of men. The Most High has always been "The LORD" and "The JUDGE" even when He's not "The King" in the kingdoms of men. In the Kingdom of God, He is "the KING" but He remains the LORD (Yahweh or Jehovah) in all kingdoms. The Living must know this, that it's not only after death comes judgment or the rule of God and heavens; but even know that "the Lord is the Judge of both the Living and the dead."

*B* The Most High is the Supreme Court or Supreme Judge over all: The way the world defines or determines jurisdiction or authority to judge and apply is different from the way the holy and higher realms define or have it. The holy and higher realms have jurisdiction and authority to judge and apply according to the Knowledge, the Will and the Mind, of the Most High. With this, even the spiritual can judge all things, even the saints can judge angels, and even the angels can judge the kingdoms of men and judge things. As you saw, the Watchers judged Nebuchadnezzar here, and took credit or ownership of doing so, because they were doing so in union with the Knowledge, the Will and the Mind of the Most High.

[I Corinthians 2:15‭-‬16 NKJV] — But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

*C* The Most High rules in the kingdoms of men, and gives it to whomever the Most High wills, and sets over them even the lowest or most humble of them. — Whether the people voted or not, the Most High is the greatest King-Maker or technically the only King-Maker there really is, notwithstanding those parading themselves as kingmakers or political structures.

In His pre-qualification or selection of candidates, two things precide:
One is His Will: This is solely based on Him in His choices, wisdom, pleasure, counsel, knowledge and His Godhead.
Two is the Humility/Lowliness/Meekness/Submission of a candidate.

"The Most High rules in the Kingdoms of men and yet He sets over them rulers" — wouldn't this be a contradiction or paradox? I am in charge, and I put you in charge, so that I remain in charge — how can you and me (that put you there) be in charge at the same time as if two captains are in the same ship governing?

It's by you that I put there remaining so humble and lowly so that your shining light towards those under you would reveal me in charge through you and though you are in charge. You see why God the Most High that rules in the kingdoms of men can afford to put the most humble, lowest or basest of men as rulers over those kingdoms without undermining the Most High's rulings in those kingdoms.

Nebuchadnezzar as that tree grew (pride) and the tree covered the ability of the people to see the most High God because they were clouded or veiled in seeing only the most high tree as the center of the earth. Have you not seen or heard how some governor or president turned to undermine the former governor or president that put him in that office when he couldn't have been there without the former's help. Nebuchadnezzar thought he could do that to the Most High, but behold the end to his pride in power.

Nevertheless,

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
[Romans 13:1‭-‬3 NKJV]

DANIEL 4:16

[Daniel 4:16 NKJV] — Let his heart be changed from that of a man, Let him be given the heart of a beast, And let seven times pass over him.

[Daniel 4:16 BSB] — Let his mind be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the mind of a beast till seven times pass him by.



*A* In the myth story of "Beauty and the Beast," it was a sorceress/witch that cursed or cast spells on the handsome prince that changed him from being man to becoming a beast until he learned to love and be loved by a stranger.

*B* But in the true story of "King Nebuchadnezzar the Beast," it was not a sorceress or witch, but a Watcher (a Holy One) from heaven that spoke the decree on the king that changed him from being a man to becoming a beast: not for him to learn to love (because that would require him having or keeping his heart of man even as a beast), but for him to learn the Knowledge of God and be converted for the Kingdom of God. For that, he was given heart of a beast while his heart of man was taken away and worked on by God for seven times Passover.

Therefore, from the days of Nebuchadnezzar becoming a Beast and still restored to his kingdom, (till the last Beast who's Mark of the Beast is "666" and is a number of a Man who is the Beast), kings and kingdoms began to appear in visions or revelations as "Beasts" that were not among the living creatures Adam named in the Garden of Eden or among the living creatures Noah brought into the Ark. Nebuchadnezzar pioneered such Kingdoms Beast figures that appeared as hybrids of different beasts and man combined in visions, revelations or prophecies. Daniel would later begin seeing such beasts arising from seas, lands or nowhere, in his visions; and hybrids of them partly lion, partly leopard, partly bear, partly goat or ram, partly dragon, partly serpent, partly woman, partly man etc, - Hybridization.

Such hybridization speaks more of the complexity of the hearts of those kingdoms



This is a Kingdom message that the Words of the Kingdom required special hearts in men to fulfill in the men. You may recall the parable of the Sower, the Soil and the Seeds (Matthew 13:3-23), wherein different Soils (Grounds or Hearts/Minds or Understanding of men) where tested with the same Seeds (Words of the Kingdom) and there were different outcomes that resulted, not based on the power/potency of the Words of the Kingdom (the Seeds) but based on the kinds of heart, mindset or understanding (Grounds/Soils) of the men to whom those Words (Seeds) came.

In the top Bible verse above, is one of the greatest illustration of "Exchange of Hearts" for the fulfilling of the Words of the Kingdom of God in a man who did not have the required heart for those Kingdom Words to bear 100 fold Fruits (to fulfill) in him. It is both literally and illustrative: Having the heart of the man taken from him (for seven years Sabbath rest of his heart to improve his heart) while his heart of man was replaced/substituted with the heart of a beast (heart here means understanding or mindset) for seven years Passovers (Seven Times); in order for that heart of the man to enjoy seven years Sabbath rest from that man (as a ground (Soil) would recuperate and regain more strength and nutrients if left for seven years without the activities of men).

Technically, some of the ground on the wayside street in the parable of the Sower, the Soils and the Seed, would have become good grounds for the Seeds if the Activities of men were suspended from that wayside ground (heart) for years to enjoy Sabbath that breaks fallow grounds to break even. As it is written,

[Leviticus 26:34-35] - "Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on it."

Yes, it was Nebuchadnezzar that destroyed that great temple that Solomon built, and threw down the walls of Jerusalem after their ancestors threw down the walls of Jericho; and brought them all into captivity in Babylon for Seventy Years, leaving none of them in their promised land, so that Land or Grounds enjoyed Seventy years Sabbath while the people were in seventy years away in exiles.

[2 Chronicles 36:19‭-‬21 FBV] — Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value. Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over. So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.

The same Nebuchadnezzar was getting a decree from the Watcher, the Holy One, that his own heart of man shall be taken away from him for seven years, while he would be living with the heart of a beast while those seven times Passover him.


However, it's not just by what's happening to Nebuchadnezzar in the top bible verse above that God changes or develops a man's heart for the Kingdom Words. There was another man who, before he became king in Israel, did not have the required heart for the fulfilling of the Word of the Kingdom: to him God gave another heart (not a heart of beast, but another (a prophet's) heart that would work better with the Spirit of God for the kingdom than the heart that was in him) temporarily for the urgency of the Kingdom Business. As it is written,

[I Samuel 10:9‭-‬12 NKJV] — So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day. When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” Then a man from there answered and said, “But who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

Behold the gospel of God giving to His People another heart and His Spirit - the Exchange of heart for the Spirit of the Kingdom of God:

[Ezekiel 36:26‭-‬29 NKJV] — I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you.

That "New Heart" in this gospel is more than just "Another Heart" given to either Saul or Nebuchadnezzar. To Nebuchadnezzar was given a heart of beast, which implies that heart already belonged to the beast before he was given the heart. But a "New Heart" means it was not belonging to another, neither would a "New Spirit" mean something like the spirit of Elijah on Elisha or in John the Baptist. Rather God who forms the spirit of a man inside (not outside) the man according to "Zechariah 12:1" would create a completely new and clean heart inside (not outside) the man He gives this grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. Written:

[Psalms 51:10‭-‬13 BSB] - Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

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.

DANIEL 4:14

[Daniel 4:14 NKJV] — He cried aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts get out from under it, And the birds from its branches.

[Daniel 4:14 FBV] — He cried out in a loud voice, ‘Cut down the tree and chop off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Drive the animals away from its shade, and scare off the birds from its branches.



That was not just vision, but combination of "Voice" and "Vision;" or better still, "Voice in Vision." Through out dreams encountered by Joseph, not one of it had Voices in the Visions just as Nebuchadnezzar's first dream, but unlike this second dream of Nebuchadnezzar that has Voice, Loud Voice for that matter and Spoken Speech. Nevertheless, no matter how loud that angel's voice was in that dream, it did not wake the dreamer from sleep because the volume of voices in visions do not blast the Visions or the Seers thereof. No man has ever gotten deaf by the loudness or voice of the visions he had, but someone had gotten blind by seeing vision (Paul was struck blind on his way to Damascus on seeing the heavenly vision) and someone had gotten dumb by seeing vision (Zachariah was struck dumb/mute by his vision of an Angel in the temple and as Ezekiel) and frozen or fainted as dead or sick by seeing vision (Daniel, John etc.).

Why was it necessary for that Watcher or Angel to use a Loud Voice in making his speech in this vision? Does it have anything to do with the distance between the angel and whomever the angel was talking to or talking with? There are persons that would use the volume of voice that can reach someone at fifty meters away while talking to someone that is just less than five meters close.

Ok take this: - Great Heavenly Beings by default have Strong, Mighty, Thunderous or Loud, Voices. And their use of loud Voice in speaking is not about the distance of whomever they are talking to, but about the power they command or release while they speak. Heaven is full of Loud, mighty, strong and thunderous voices, incase you don't like noisy environment. Infact, out of the Throne of God proceed Voices, Lightnings and Thunderings, even without rainy clouds. Somehow, the mightier an angel the louder his voice of commanding powers.

Therefore, that Watcher and holy one that spoke to that Tree in Nebuchadnezzar's vision was not a small angel, but a mighty angel by reason of his raised or loud voice with which he spoke such thing in the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, who was the king of kings in this world then. There are some things a man cannot boldly say outloud against the ruler, president or governor in his presence among other powerful forces or powers around, unless that man is surely having a superior power or authority over those rulers or powers there. For example, that man of God from Judah came to were the king of Samaria was practicing his false religion with his co-worshippers of that religion, and that Man of God cried out against the religion and against the priests/religious leaders of that religion and against their altar, right in the king's presence. The king commanded, "Arrest him." Instantly, the Power in the Man of God dealt with that king and the king knew the Man of God was more powerful than him and his soldiers at his command. (1 Kings 13).

Behold, that Watcher and Holy One from heaven was more louder and bolder against one of the most powerful world rulers in history, and yet that king of kings could not say or do anything to the Holy One or Stranger. No prince of Babylon or prince of Persia or Satanic Powers could do anything against that Watcher who came down alone from heaven without company of angels for backup, and yet he spoke so loudly that even the gates of hell could have heard him speaking against what the whole world treasured and benefited from then, that's that Tree.

Now looking at the content of that Watcher's loud voice Speech, I would cite similar incident, to compare and analyze further:

[Revelation 18:1-3] — "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

Similarities with differences:

*1* At the Tower of Babel, God and the Watchers came to confuse and to scatter those who were standing and exalted by their gathering together: United they stood, but divided they fell. Their fall at Babel meant their division and scattering.

*2* At that Tree in Nebuchadnezzar's vision, the Watcher commanded its fall by the Sword of Division, dividing (cutting) the Tree down,
Scattering the gathering/bonding of every leaf off the Tree,
Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Fruit off the Tree,
Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Branch off the Tree,
Scattering the gathering/bonding of every animal off the Tree,
Scattering the gathering/bonding of every Bird off the Tree,

So in the words the Watcher, the fall of that Tree of Babylon was to come by dividing (cutting) and scattering all that were joined or gathered in that Tree.

*3" At the fall of Babylon the Great, reverse is the case to how it's fallen: Babylon the great is not fallen by divide and scatter, but fallen by gathering together of Foul spirits in it, gathering and residence of all unclean/hateful birds in it, gathering and habitation of devils/demons in it etc. Anyone or any place where these creatures inhabit, reside or gather, is a fallen person, animal, place or thing.

This is not a case where any kingdom or house divided against itself is fallen, but a case where the state of that kingdom or house is fallen state for the abominations of desolation reside and stood in it. Judas's Perdition was that Satan entered him.

[Matthew 12:45] — Then the evil spirit goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

DANIEL 4:13

[Daniel 4:13 NKJV] — I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.

[Daniel 4:13 FBV] — As I went on dreaming, lying on my bed, I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.



*A* The Seer saw the Watcher in the visions of his head;

*B* But the Seer only began to see the Watcher when the Watcher was coming down from heaven or coming out of the more hidden/invisible realms into the more visible scene. That's, the Seer was not seeing the Watchers inside heaven.

*C* The visions of that Seer (Nebuchadnezzar) were limited to earth realms, and he had not been given the abilities to see visions inside the third heavens. However he was given to see those who came from the third heavens with his visions as a Seer - He saw the Stone that crushed the Statue and became Mountain that filled the whole earth, he saw the fourth Man (Son of God or a god) in the furnace of fire, he saw that the Spirit of the Holy God was inside Daniel, and he saw the Watcher, the Holy One, coming down (descending) from heaven.

*D* When he saw that descending angel, he knew two things instantly about the angel: That he was "A Watcher" and that he was "A Holy One." Now, can you, by looking at a man/woman approaching, tell whether he's a Watcher (a secret Spy that knows all information about you and everyone around) and tell whether he's holy (a Virgin, Pure, undefiled), and yet that man/woman is like a stranger/Alien?

*E* This "Incomer" was neither from this world nor from neighboring worlds but from far out of Galaxies realms, yet the Seer knew that Incomer was both Watcher and Holy, while he himself was just a Seer.

*F* Both a Seer and a Watcher are grouped into "Witnesses." However, the Seer only sees the much the Seer can/would and then he looks at other things, but the Watcher is bound to tail, monitor and keep looking to record/gather everything of something. So at everything, a Watcher is more committed to seeing than a Seer.

*G* Many people are Movie Seers, and not Movie Watchers: Movie Seers only see the Movie that was displayed or programmed to be seen, but Movie Watchers also see behind the scenes of the Movie, see the scenes of the movie, see the motives and acts of the movie and the actors/participants in every thing of that movie, see all the people who saw that movie and what they saw or thought or learnt or did or will do by the effects/reactions of seeing that movie, and see the unseen of it.

*H* The Holy Watchers of heaven watches everything and every acts done by men on earth and space, and that includes them watching every movie of men. There is no movie the Holy Watchers have not watched and kept watch over, whether that movie was action movie, sports, pornography/sexual movie, horror movie, tragic or sorrowful/grieving movie, epic, historical, animated movie, reality show, romance, war, gospel movie, pagan movie, Islamic movie, animal movie, etc, they keep watch over all acts, motives and movies of mankind. Yet they are Holy Ones.

*I* Though they are watching all, both the holy and the unholy, the clean and the unclean, the righteous and the unrighteous, the good and the evil, etc, yet they remain Holy Ones even though they are Watchers. Habakkuk was contradicting himself when he said "You (God) are of purer Eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity (wickedness): why are You (God) looking on them that deal treacherously, and hold Your Tongue when the wicked devours the man that is more righteous than he?" [Habakkuk 1:13]. In the same verse he took it upon himself to say "God cannot behold or look at iniquity/evil because of the Purity of God's Eyes, and in same verse He questioned God for silently looking on the iniquity, evil or wickedness of men against those more righteous than them, without God saying anything. Before that verse, the same confused Habakkuk was questioning God saying, "Why do You (God) show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are those that raise up strife and contention." (Habakkuk 1:3). So according to Habakkuk, God showed him iniquity but God cannot behold iniquity, and yet God looks at iniquity done against the righteous and yet God holds His Tongue.

*J* If going by Habakkuk's saying, that God's Purer or Holier Eyes cannot watch evil, how then would God know those things are Evil in His Sight if His Eyes cannot see or watch them? How did God know everything He made on the sixth day was very good - but by God beholding/seeing everything He made. Even so, it's by God beholding/seeing everything made He knows whether they are good in His Sight or evil in His Sight. Thus "Evil/Iniquity in the Sight of God" means God watched it.

*K* However the Holy Watchers watch all these things without what they are seeing and hearing affecting their Holiness because their Holy Eyes are like Fire against absorbing evil or iniquity into them. The evils they see do not enter them nor transmitted into them. There were Watchers (Angels) in the past that lost their estate or habitation of holiness by seeing the beauty of women, daughters of men, and then took in the thoughts of taking those women as wives and sleeping with them in fornication. Therefore, those Watchers did not remain as "Holy Ones," neither shall they ever again ascend into the heavens of holiness in all eternity.

[Matthew 5:28-29 GWN] — "But I can guarantee that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery in his heart. "So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose a part of your body than to have all of it thrown into hell."

DANIEL 4:12

[Daniel 4:12 BSB] — Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and upon it was food for all. Under it the beasts of the field found shelter, in its branches the birds of the air nested, and from it every creature was fed.

[Daniel 4:12 ICB] — The leaves of the tree were beautiful. It had plenty of good fruit on it. On the tree was food for everyone. The wild animals found shelter under the tree. And the birds lived in its branches. Every animal ate from it.



In this Bible verse, that Tree was the center of both attention and attraction, having the leaves of the Tree beautiful to behold, having abundance of fruits and food for all, flourishing in prosperity and being blessing to all, for under it the whole family of the world were blessed with supply of food, shelter for the animals and branches for the avians.

Was there any problem or fault in this Tree to warrant God to cut it down?

*1* You cannot say that Tree was unfruitful for it to be cut down or cursed like the Lord cursed that Fig-Tree; rather that Tree was having abundance of fruits and food for all living beings on earth.

*2* You cannot say that that Tree was producing evil fruits nor say it's a forbidden tree like the one that was inside the Garden of Eden; rather all living creatures of the world were right to feed from that Tree.

*3* You cannot say that Tree was not planted by God, as in, every plant that is not planted by My Father (God) in heaven shall be uprooted (Matthew 15:13); rather that Tree was planted and established by God.

So what is the sin or fault with that beautiful Tree that was helping all the poor and feeding all the hungry in the world, accommodating birds and beasts in its branches and sheltering, bearing fruit for all with no charge? The Tree was beautiful, was great, was generous, was a philanthropist or a giver, providing the basic primary needs to all that came to it: And the Primary Needs the Tree provided included Food, Shelter, and Clothing with its beautiful leaves.

Now let us learn what the sin or fault of this beautiful, generous and great famous Tree was in just this Bible verse alone.

There was a place in the gospel where the Lord Jesus Christ instructed we should let our light shine before men so that they would see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). The same Lord Jesus afterwards warned us not to do our works to be seen of men otherwise we have no reward of the Father in heaven (Matthew 6:1,6, 23:5). What then was the difference between "men to see your goodworks to glorify your Father in heaven" and "works to be seen of men?"

That's the same difference between Works that make men to see and works that get to be seen by men: (In the preceding verse I separated the Seer from the Seen).

*1* The first works He instructed are shining as light before men, for light helps men to see what they couldn't see; and when your light/works make them see, they glorify your Father in heaven through your works or light.

*2* The other works He warned against are to be seen of men for self glory, gaining the praises/applauses of men, and self promotion. Men see you as the father/maker of those works, but do not see the Father/Maker in heaven through you. So to be seen works are not light but veils to men.

In the top Bible verse above, that Tree was doing what appears as "Good works" but those goodworks are not light to the world but veils/shadows or clouds, preventing those depending on that tree from depending on God or seeking the Lord because they all sought after that Tree for all their basic needs. Technically, that Tree caught off men, animals and birds from seeking the Lord, since they all looked only to that Tree for their food, shelter, beautiful sight to behold.

That Tree was more like another form of Tower of Babel accomplished because its top reached heaven, and almost all the hosts of the earth gathered together in one place by that Tower/Tree without getting scattered to other parts of the earth. That Tree was their high Tower, and they ran to it for safety and provisions. They idolized that Tree, and not even the animals were looking at the LORD for their daily bread since that tree built its being seen globally as an antichrist or antigod.

Don't be deceived even by the good works, good gifts, and good words, any man is doing; if that man's deeds are not projecting, promoting and pointing God and the Lord Jesus Christ and denying himself to increase more of people seeing God and the Lord, and less of him being seen, even those supposed good works are conspiracy.

DANIEL 4:11

[Daniel 4:11 NKJV] — The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.

[Daniel 4:11 GWN] — "The tree grew, and it became strong enough and tall enough to reach the sky. It could be seen everywhere on earth."



Many (including me) have used this expression that says,
"The things an elder would see while sitting down, a child cannot see them even if the child climbs up a tree."

But the users of the expression did not consider that on the flip-side,
"A child that climbed up a tree has more potential of being seen and could attract more attention than a down-sited elder is seen.

In the Bible verse above, when an elder that was lying down on his bed was seeing things that was in the center or middle of the earth, the tree grew till its top reached the heaven and could be seen from everywhere in the earth without any needing to be at the center of the earth to see it. Meaning, Nebuchadnezzar that was seeing/the Seer (was elderly) versus Nebuchadnezzar that was the Tree/the Seen (was childish) even when it appears the Tree that was seen was the future reflection of the Seer.

In this world, the Seen is more Popular or celebrated as Star/Celebrity than the Seers. Even the world's social media rank those who drive views, attract followership, capture attention/audience more than those who see better and deeper as shown in their contents. But in the Spiritual realms of Kingdom of God, the Seers rank higher than the seen, because visions, knowledge or ability to see further, deeper or higher, with unveiled eyes are some of the greatest treasures and wealth in eternity.

So it's "The Seen (That Tree)" versus "The Seers (The Watchers):" In terms of popularity, fame and global news, the Tree was on top of the world and was like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden; while the Watchers (Angels) were not seen nor even regarded as real by some of the earth especially the atheists. Later you would see what the Watchers (Seers) that could not be seen as the Tree said and did to that Tree.

This lesson was a hard lesson and judgment for that Tree that could be seen from everywhere on earth and in heaven, but the Tree could not see well enough to justify its popularity or fame. The Tree developed and grew only its abilities to be seen, but failed to develop its ability to see or know the Lord who rules in kingdoms of men. How did you become this popular and this celebrity without the knowledge of God? How did you gain the whole world in captivity of their attention towards you but did not know you are headed to be destroyed for your lack of knowledge or ignorance of the Invisible Lord and Maker of all things? This similar judgment to those who are building their being seen as women who use makeups and false hood to build their appearances and how people seen them, but they fail to build their knowledge of the Lord and their spiritual abilities to see through the Spirit of God in humility.

What that Tree (Nebuchadnezzar) was doing in the top Bible verse above, building its being seen without building its seeing through the Spirit of God, was what some other great Trees have done before God brought those Trees into hell, below the earth. The Trees that had done similar things to what the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, was doing in the top verse above included the Tree called king of Assyria, the Tree called king of Egypt, and the Trees of the Garden of Eden (Garden of God): All these trees were competing for attention, attractions and building their ability to be seen, instead of building on their seeing through the Spirit of God. Their downfall came upon them and brought them into hell. Written,

[Ezekiel 31:2‭-‬18 ICB] — “[b]Human being, say to the king of Egypt and his people: ‘No one was like you in your greatness. Assyria was once like a cedar tree in Lebanon. It had beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It was very tall. Its top was among the clouds. Much water made the tree grow. The deep springs of water made the tree tall. Rivers flowed around the bottom of the tree. They sent their streams to all other trees of the field. So the tree was taller than all the other trees of the field. Its branches became long and big because of so much water. All the birds of the sky made their nests in the tree’s branches. And all the wild animals gave birth under the tree’s branches. All great nations lived in the tree’s shade. So the tree was great and beautiful, with its long branches. Its roots reached down to many waters. The cedar trees in the garden of God were not as great as it was. The pine trees did not have such great branches. The plane trees did not have such branches. No tree in the garden of God was as beautiful as this tree. I made it beautiful with many branches. And all the trees of Eden in the garden of God wanted to be like it. “‘So this is what the Lord God says: The tree has grown tall. Its top has reached the clouds. And it has become proud of its height. So I have let a mighty ruler of the nations take care of the tree. The ruler will surely punish the tree. Because it is evil I will get rid of it. The cruelest foreign nation cut it down and left it. The tree’s branches fell on the mountains and in all the valleys. Its broken branches were in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth left the shade of that tree. The birds of the sky live on the fallen tree. The wild animals live among the tree’s fallen branches. Then the trees that grow by the water will not be proud to be tall. They will not put their tops among the clouds. None of the trees that are watered well will grow that tall. They all are meant to die and go under the ground. They will be with those who have died and have gone down to where the dead are. “‘This is what the Lord God says: On the day when the tree went down to where the dead are, I made people cry loudly. I covered the deep springs and held back their rivers. And the great waters stopped flowing. I made Lebanon cry loudly for the great tree. All the trees of the field dried up and died. I made the nations shake with fear at the sound of the tree falling. I brought the tree down to where the dead are. It went with those who go down to the grave. Then trees of Eden and the best trees of Lebanon were comforted. All the well-watered trees were comforted in the earth below. But these trees also went down with the great tree to the place where the dead are. They went to join those who were killed in war. They had lived under the great tree’s shade. They were its friends among the nations. “‘So no tree in Eden is equal to you in greatness and honor. But you will go down with the trees of Eden to the earth below. You will lie among unclean people who were killed in war. “‘This will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people, says the Lord God[/b].’”

DANIEL 4:10

[Daniel 4:10 NKJV] — “These were the visions of my head while on my bed: I was looking, and behold, A tree in the midst of the earth, And its height was great.

[Daniel 4:10 FBV] — As I lay in bed dreaming, I saw a tree in the middle of the earth—a really large tree.

You know people could be lying on their beds and still be watching live events or things happening in different parts of the world, using their devices and media by technology. Before such technology began and during its era, everyone has dreams and visions even while on the bed, being transited into different realms, different times or different places of the world, seeing events or things in the past, in the present and things to come. Dreams are better than those technological devices at seeing things and visions both in the scope of things, in the realms of places or times and in the depth of things. Meditate on this reality: That dreams and visions are already inbuilt "Cameras, Satellites, Telescopes, Mirrors, Microscopes, Lenses and Holograms" without man-made device or technological artificiality involved. They are not new things in purposes, for dreams and visions have been since Adam fulfilling those purposes.

In these dream and visions of Nebuchadnezzar in the top bible verse above, he was basically in "True Hologram (Trance of his reflection)" and "Seeing his reflection in Animation of Future Motion Mirror."

*1* TRANSITIONING: He was lying on his bed within his comfortable bedroom, but saw a Large or Great Tree in the middle of the Earth. The "Transition" was his change from the state of being in his bedroom in Babylon to suddenly being somewhere in the midst or center of the earth.

*2* WITNESSING: He seeing, watching or observing, the Tree and its greatness as eyewitness. Somehow he knew details about the tree, such as the location of the tree as the center/middle of the earth without using latitude and longitude or compass to determine the center of the earth. He also saw and knew the greatness in height of the tree.

*3* REFLECTIONAL MIRRORING: This was the hidden aspect of what Nebuchadnezzar was doing from his future then to himself as witness. The interpretation of that dream or vision would reveal it to him that he was actually the same tree he saw or was seeing. Thus he was like a man looking into a mirror and seeing reflection of himself, except that in this case the reflection of the man is not in his image but in the image of a tree, and not in his current environment (bedroom) but in the center of the earth; and not just from his present time but mostly from his future.

Quick summary of the three points of the top bible verse above:

Nebuchadnezzar the dreamer basically saw himself in 3 apparitions: One was "His Transitioning self" laid on bed and dreaming, Two was "His Witnessing self" seeing things (of the tree) while the eyes of his transitioning self was closed in dreaming or sleeping, and the Third was "His Self Reflection From the Future" appearing as the great tree.

So you see there were "True Hologram" or "Animation of Motion Mirror."

Talk of Hologram: It's an advance communication beyond live video call because in hologram the persons that are afar appear physically, either as light reflections or ghostly apparitions of the persons visibly appearing in real time and place where you are, meeting, simulating or talking with you in your house/environment while the persons are actually miles away from where you are. Some apparitions in dreams are basically holograms of spirit beings, or even holograms of witchcrafts or hallucinations.

Talk of Animation of Motion Mirror: Those in natural levels are used to only mirrors that only reflect what is in front of the mirrors, including reflection of their motions as seen by the mirrors. And if the mirror is able to store or record the reflections inorder to replay them even when the objects are not there to be reflected, such mirrors that can record or store reflections are called "Cameras." Advancing beyond the natural, you discover that whatever that can reflect a man can record the man. And that those in underworld can hold water in a bowl and cause the water to reflect persons that are far away, without such persons knowing they are being watched even without cameras. Even ordinary mirrors that are not cameras or lenses can be made to bring up live video of persons reflected.

Those are mirrors of past motions, but are not future motion mirrors nor do they produce the animation of future motions. Future Motion Mirrors are basically prophetic, they are Visions, for they reflection the motions of people or things that are not yet events or done by those people or things. They predict and animate the actions and future of people/things to come.

The Lord said the World cannot receive the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17), why the prophecy said God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17-18). Here are paradoxes:

*1* God is in all men and God is not in all men: Both are true.

*2* God is in all things and God is not in all things: Both are true.

*3* The Lord is inside Satan/Demons and the Lord is not inside Satan/Demons: Both are true.

*4* The Spirit of God is in this world and the Spirit of God is not in this world: Both are true.

*5* The Lord knows all men and the Lord does not know all men: Both are true.

[Acts 17:28] — "For in God we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also God's offspring."

Don't get it twisted, "God's Absence is still God's Presence." There is just no where anything lives or moves without God's Presence, This is not just about God being omnipresent, but also about He being Life, Reality and Existence to all that are alive and existent. Creations consist or continue to exist because God is in all existing creations upholding their realities and life. To totally withdraw God from any reality is to remove the Reality of its existing.

So there's no true absence of God in anything or anywhere: but there's instead of Absence, "Invisibility or Concealment," of God; and as the Presence, "Manifestation or Revelation," of God. Just as total Absence of God would destroy realities, so also total Presence of God would also destroy realities. For if God who is Onmipresent appears in all places at the same time, there would be no space or place for anything else to exist.

So greater Parts or Portions of God must remain Invisible, Intangible and Mystery, leaving lesser Parts or Portions of God more room to manifest, move, live, walk, journey, travel, etc. And it would take us eternity to fully comprehend the smaller manifest Parts or Portions of God, not to take of the greater unmanifest Parts or Portions of God, which no angel or eyes have even seen.

In Autocad, those who know how to work with Layers know that there are ways to "Freeze Objects," and to "Turn off Objects," and to "Isolate Objects" in Autocad, especially when there are too many objects in the pages. Freezing Objects and Turning off Objects would make them unseen, invisible or disappear, as if those frozen objects are absence or non-existing on the pages; but they are there. While Isolating Objects is like opposite to freezing Objects or Turning off Objects, because Isolating Objects would make only the isolated objects to be raptured into another page or realm, making all other objects to disappear but only the isolated objects would be seen in something that appears to be a new background.

Such absence or disappearance does not mean nonexistence of those objects in the Autocad booklet.

The Paradoxes are about "Manifestations of the Spirit (God):" What we called "Gifts of the Spirit" are "Manifestations of the Spirit" and every man, Christian or not, righteous or sinner, has some Manifestation of the Spirit which he benefits from, according to who God inside them would manifest or hide Himself within them. The gifts of the Spirit are not nine in number, but are as many as how much the Spirit would manifest in men, through men or to men.

Another way to see it instead of "Manifestation of the Spirit" is to see it as "Measure of the Spirit" or "Measure of the Gifts/Grace received/given." The more measure of the Spirit of God you received, the more spiritual gifts you received. Yet it still comes to Manifestations.

The Comforter is the Spirit of Truth, which the world cannot receive. The world uses lies, falsehoods, and carnal mindedness, to comfort the world; but the Spirit of Truth comforts with Truth and in Truth: For the Spirit of Truth is the Comforter who teaches and reveals the Son of God, .

He is in the World as Breath of Life, as the Wind of God, as Grace of God, as Contending with men for them to repent, as Life-Force, and as the Spirit of Recommendation, and the World is receiving Him in these manifestations. But as the Spirit of Truth, as the Holy Spirit or Spirit of Holiness, as the Spirit of the Son of God, mainly as the Spirit of Truth, the world cannot receive Him. Satan is the father of lies, and does not abide in the truth, neither can Satan or this world receive the Spirit of Truth or the things of the Spirit.

Timeline was splitted around the Lord Jesus into "Before Christ" and "After Death, Resurrection and Ascension." That splitting resulted in:

*1* "Former Days" (Before Christ backwards) and "Last Days or Latter Days" (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward).

*2* "Old Testament" (Before Christ backwards) and "New Testament" (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward).

*3* "Era of Israel (Jews)" (Before Christ backwards) and "Era of the Church (Christians)" (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward).

*4* "Days of the Kingdoms of this World" (Before Christ backwards) and "Days of the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven" (The King of the Kingdom of God suffered Violence, was crucified, died by the Violence the King/Kingdom suffered: After His Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward, He who suffered Violence became the Violent and took It by force though His Servants are still suffering the Violence of persecutions/trials for the Gospel and Testimony of the Kingdom of God).

*5* "Days of Night/Darkness and Old Commandment" (Before Christ backwards) and "Days when the True Light Shines and New Commandment" (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward). [1 John 2:8]

*6* "Days when the failure of the first Adam still cut men off from God and Paradise, death reigned, Satan had the keys of hell and death" so that even righteous men/women of God could not be delivered from hell once they die and go there. Men like Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc were under lockdown in Hell. Moses would have joined them but Michael contend with Satan over Moses's body, and God took Moses after death, but took Enoch and Elijah before death, and these three men did not get into being locked in Hell. So Moses and Elijah were in heaven with Enoch, though Enoch was not seen with Moses and Elijah when they came from heaven to talk with Jesus Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration and returned back to heaven. (All these were before Christ backwards). And then came "The Second Adam, who prevailed, overcame, restored mankind back to God and to Paradise, collected and still wielding the Keys of hell and death (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward).

*7* "Days when the Spirit of God came on Prophets only" (Before Christ backwards) and "Days when the Spirit of God comes on all flesh whether prophet or not" (After Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Forward).

In those days before Christ came, rarely do you find a man or woman on whom is the Spirit of God without the man being a prophet of God. There used to be an expression people make on seeing someone who is not known to be a prophet having or behaving as if the Spirit of God is on him: that expression was, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

The last days began over two thousand years ago, particularly when the Spirit of God, Holy Spirit Himself, became the current "Immanuel" - God with us – from the Day of Pentecost in "Acts 2." Wait, the Holy Spirit is more than just "Immanuel -(God with us)" because He is "God in us." The Lord Jesus Christ was "Immanuel - God with us" but He did not attain or become "God in us" until He ascended and kept ascending until He reached levels where He moved from "God with us" to "God in us."

To become "God with us" He descended but to become "God in us" He ascended. Now, He that was "Immanuel - (God with us)" on earth, left the earth and ascended far above all heavens that He might "Fill all things or become "God in us." As it is written,

[Ephesians 4:9‭-‬10 BSB] — What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.

That phrase, "Fill all things" means He attained or became "God in us and in all things." Jesus is now He that fills all in all [Ephesians 1:23]. Meaning He is the Holy Spirit that now fills all flesh, unlike the previous days when the Holy Spirit only came on few holy prophets and priests and kings. The connection with men that was restricted by the Holy Spirit because of Holiness Restrictions is now easily accessible now because of Jesus Christ becoming God with men and now God in men. Even the partition between the Holy of Holies and outer court, which by then could only be crossed by the highest priest only once in a year with much ritual cleansings; behold anyone can now willingly walk into the Holy of Holies anytime through the Flesh and Blood of He who was God with us and became God in us. Jesus Christ is that Spirit of Truth, Holy Spirit, who has being the Spirit with us but now He is the Spirit in us. As it is written,

[John 14:17-18] — "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because the world does not see Him, neither knows Him: but you know Him; for He dwells as Spirit (God) with you, and shall become the Spirit (God) in you. I (Jesus) will not leave you comfortless: I will come (as the Comforter) to you."

[2 Corinthians 3:17‭-‬18 BSB] — Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

So even though He Bodily ascended into heaven, He never left His disciples but was still with them as the Spirit confirming His Word through them with signs and wonders following them [Mark 16:19-20].


But the Lord said the World cannot receive the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17), why the prophecy said God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17-18). This I hope to explain.

[1 Corinthians 2:12‭-‬14 BSB] — We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

[b][Matthew 16:13‭-‬19 BSB] — When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

[1 John 4:13‭-‬15 ICB] — We know that we live in God and God lives in us. We know this because God gave us His Spirit. We have seen that the Father sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. That is what we teach. If someone says, “I believe that Jesus is the Son of God,” then God lives in him. And he lives in God.

[1 Corinthians 12:3 ICB] — So I tell you that no one who is speaking with the help of God’s Spirit says, “Jesus be cursed.” And no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” without the help of the Holy Spirit.

[Luke 10:22 BSB] — All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

Knowing who Jesus is, confessing Jesus is the Son of God, or saying Jesus is the Lord — is by the Father or by the Spirit of God. That's a basic summary of all the Bible References above.

How was Simon Peter able to both know and confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God? Surely, flesh and blood couldn't have revealed that to him as flesh and blood could not have revealed to the Muslims or to Muhammad their leader. At best flesh and blood only say Jesus is a Prophet like John the Baptist, like Elijah, like Jeremiah or like one of the Prophets of God, as Muslims or Muhammad their leader.

Again how could Peter know and say that Jesus is the Messiah (Christ), the Son of the Living God? It was not yet the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon all flesh and all felt Him like a mighty rushing Wind that touched all flesh, but only the disciples of the Lord Jesus had cloven tongues of fire on their heads and utterances of different tongues or languages proceeding from their lips.

Demons or unclean spirits knew Jesus and they confessed with the mouths of those people they possessed, calling Jesus the Son of God:

[Mark 3:11-12] — "And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” But He ordered them sternly not to make Him known."

So if no man can say Jesus is the Lord without the Holy Spirit or if any man that says Jesus is the Son of God has God living in him/her, what about these unclean spirits speaking from the men/women they possessed, and calling Jesus the Son of God without the Holy Spirit in those people?

This means, it is not only the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) that inspires the faith and ability of men to confess Jesus Christ as Lord or Son of God, other spirits could possess and inspire people to make those confessions also. Infact, Demons or Devils have some degree of faith also to believe in "One God" just as Muslims too have some faith to believe God is one: As it is written, "You believe that God is one God? That's great—but demons believe in God too, and they're scared of him! [James 2:19].

Infact, in the last days, many will come in the name of the Lord, saying Jesus is the Christ, and yet deceive many people while still confessing Jesus as Christ or Son of God. You heard saying, "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," but did you also hear that "Not all who call Me (Jesus) Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the Will of the Father of Jesus in heaven?"

So what are the differences between the true calling/confessing Jesus as the Lord or as Son of God and the deceitful calling/confessing Jesus as the Lord or as Son of God?

The differences are "With the heart" and "In Truth." Deceitful calling or confessing Jesus as the Lord or Son of God is not with the heart but with the mouth only and therefore it is not in truth. When demons, evil spirits or deception, inspire people to confess or call upon the name of the Lord, usually the heart of those people are far from the Lord whom they call or mention. They only believe with their mind and mouth but not with their heart, and not in Spirit and in Truth.

But when the Lord's Spirit or the nearness of the Word/Spirit of faith inspires people to confess or call upon the Lord, usually their heart is near the Lord whom they call or mention, and therefore they call upon the Lord in truth. As it is written,

[Psalms 145:18-19] — "The LORD is near to all them that call on Him, to all that call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them."


But Simon Peter was not the first man to whom the Father or Spirit of God in heaven revealed this that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God, in the days of the Lord Jesus. Before this was revealed to Simon Peter by the Father in heaven, this was first revealed to John the Baptist even before Peter knew: As it is written,

[John 1:32‭-‬34 BSB] — Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him. I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

So if John the Baptist by the revelation of the Father first testified or confessed Jesus is the Son of God before Peter later did, why was Peter promoted by the Son of God because of his interpretation of who Jesus is they way Joseph was promoted by Pharaoh or Daniel promoted by king Nebuchadnezzar because of their interpretation (revelations) which others there could not tell? Why was John the Baptist not given the promotion Peter received, such as Peter promoted into being a Rock or Foundation on which the Lord Jesus Christ built part of His Church, and the Gates of Hell will never prevail against any Church built on Peter's Foundation unlike how much the Gates of Hell have infiltrated and prevailed in other parts of the church built in other foundations beside Peter's Foundation. And in addition, the Lord Jesus Christ gave Peter the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven so that no one would loose what Peter binds heaven and no Gates of Hell can bind what Peter loose.

The reason includes: In the gospel of John chapter one, two different men confessed Jesus as the Son of God: "John the Baptist" and "Nathaniel." Their confession pleased the Son of God (Jesus), but did not move Him. Their confession was basically related to Thomas's confession after the Lord's resurrection from the dead, confessing Jesus as, "My Lord and my God." But the Lord Jesus said to Thomas, it's because you have seen Me that is the reason you believed, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." So Jesus Christ was pleased but was not moved, which was the reason He explained why Thomas believed and confessed, just as He also explained why Nathaniel believed and confessed, which was because Jesus told him He saw him under a tree. John the Baptist too saw the signs from above which was why he believed, because God showed him in a vision the Spirit of God descending as dove on Jesus. If Jesus would say:

[John 4:48] — "Then Jesus said to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe."

Then that means your believing and confessing Him would please Him, but would not move Him.

But when Peter confessed Jesus as the Christ the Son of the Living God, it was the Father or Spirit of God who revealed this to Peter without signs, wonders or miracles. The way Pharaoh was amazed at Joseph interpreting his dreams, the way Nebuchadnezzar was amazed at Daniel interpreting his dreams so was the Lord Jesus amazed at Peter answering the Lord's question very correctly and excellently. Hardly was any man able to answer the riddling questions the Lord Jesus Christ asked correctly, but Peter answered that riddling question pertaining the hidden identification of who that Son of man is.

The Lord Jesus Christ shocked and amazed many people, but only few persons shocked and amazed the Lord Jesus Christ. The Centurion's faith by love, the woman with the Alabaster box of precious ointment, the woman with the issue of blood, the widow that gave all her living by giving two coins in offering, Peter in declaring who the Father says Jesus is, rather than declaring who his flesh and blood say Jesus is, even though the question Jesus asked them was who do you (as men, flesh and blood) say that I am. He bypassed whom his flesh and blood was saying Jesus is, and went straight to whom the Father in heaven is saying Jesus is, and declared what God is saying concerning His Son.

[1 John 5:9‭-‬12 BSB] — Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son. And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Peter declared the decree (of the Father in heaven) to the Son, Jesus:

[Psalms 2:7] — "I will declare the decree: the LORD has said to Me, You are My Son; this day have I begotten You."
