Measuring U.S. Decline Using Nebuchadnezzar

I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. Those who walk in pride He is able to put down. - Daniel 4:37

Western Civilization began when Greece (West) defeated Persia (East), an event Nebuchadnezzar dreamed about three centuries before it happened.

I am teaching through the book of Daniel on Tuesday mornings and the book of Ezekiel on Friday mornings at Istoria (watch LIVE at 7:00 am Central Time).

To know of Ezekiel and Daniel, two buddies born the same year (622 BC), raised in Jerusalem, and taken into Babylon as slaves - Daniel in 605 BC at the age of 17, and Ezekiel in 597 BC at the age of 25 - you must be familiar with the Babylon Empire and its king who reigned during Daniel’s and Ezekiel’s lifetimes.
