The testimony of King NEbuchadnezzar is an interesting story as we see how God takes him on a journey toward humility to save his soul. Throughout Daniel, we witness the gradual transformation of the king's heart. Despite, majestic displays of God's power to save His servants, Daniel and his three friends, it is not until the king experiences a personal revelation of God through the interpretation of his dreams that he begins to worship God. Bob Deffinbaugh gives his interpretation of the Scriptures where King Nebuchadnezzar praises God in Daniel 4. "This king, mighty in battle, the instrument through whom the king of Judah was defeated and taken captive, now sends forth a greeting of peace and not war. He who once worshipped his own heathen deities now publicly praises the God of Israel! Introducing his account of what this God has personally done in his life through mighty signs and wonders, this earthly king speaks of God and of His eternal kingdom. If these are not the wrods of a convert, I do not know what more could be asked as proof of conversion. "We cannot say for sure whether King Nebuchadnezzar was saved or not from this first experience, but we can be sure that God's love for King Nebuchadnezzar was one that desire this king to know the true King of kings and worship Him personally as Lord and Savior.
