Nebuchadnezzar King Of Babylon

Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, mighty conqueror and brilliant visionary, knows his destiny is to build Babylon to the heights of power and glory. But there are a few bumps along the way. First, there is China and the ancient sage Tin, who teaches him through the stars about the indisputable power and glory of another nation, Israel. Young Nebuchadnezzar ignores Tin, but later he must face Israel's unusual power, as three Hebrews he threw into his fiery furnace because they refused to bow to his ninety-foot gold image do not burn, saved by a Fourth Man, who "looks like a son of the gods." Almost as disconcerting is a 10-year-old girl, Aridatha of Jerusalem, who takes his hand while he is staring at the Fourth Man. Believing she has been sent to protect him, he offers to bring her to Babylon, but she refuses, stating she is going to grow up and marry Baruch ben-Zadok. The king takes this in stride, but later when she tells him outright that Jerusalem, the "Throne of the Lord" will have the final victory over Babylon "the glory of kingdoms," that gets to him! In fact, her whole existence gets to him. So, when he lays siege to Jerusalem ten years later and Aridatha, now a beautiful young maiden, appears on top of the Jerusalem wall waving the Star of David flag and shouting "Remember the Fourth Man" for all Babylon and Jerusalem to hear, he must have her for Babylon! Through a powerful romance between historical arch enemies, the King of Babylon and the Daughter of Jerusalem, NEBUCHADNEZZAR KING OF BABYLON sweeps us back to a time of kings and prophets, supernatural miracles, judgments and redemptions. Yet, NEBUCHADNEZZAR KING OF BABYLON is also contemporary, reminding us of the great sleeping giant China waiting to be awakened, the continuing battle between Babylon and Israel, and the overruling presence of God in history past, present and future.
