Peace be multiplied to us as we begin this book review. Dominion to Yahua whose kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting.

In this chapter, Daniel saw Nebuchadnezzars kingdom chopped off into iron and bronze not clay this time. Daniel 4: 15.

Brass as you know typifies bronze and the iron period the happenings of chapter 4 would take place. In this time frame it stated that the mind of Nebuchadnezzar would change from a man’s mind to that of a beast over a 7-time period.

Hence, the most notable change in the time frame of Nebuchadnezzar will be during Brass – Iron interchange. In the figure described by Daniel, after the time of the brass, the iron mixed with clay (grass – amid the fields) represents a time frame of 7 period of which the heart of his (Nebuchadnezzar empire) will change from a man’s heart to that of a beast, Ushering the beast system.

This illustration of the first ruler where his thought his strength brought him victory’s – fixed with the bronze and iron age of his kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar, initial kingdom was Gods kingdom at the time, until he boasted against God that he built Babylon (time period of the sand (grass) + iron + bronze) then in Daniel 4: 31, we see Gods kingdom removed from him and his heart change. Also, boastful speaking is associated with the anti-Christ (so the beast he became during this period).

In this period, Daniel goes on to say it his empire (Clay and Iron) will be driven from among men and his dwelling will be made with the beast of the field. His empire would be made to eat the grass like an ox and 7 periods would Passover until he realizes that the most high rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.

Rules, kingdom, will are all present in Matthew 6:10-15, Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, and thy WILL be done. In Nebuchadnezzars prayer we see a similar ” I lift up my eyes (willingly) to the heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the most high, and I praise and honor him who lives forever, for your dominion oh Lord is an everlasting dominion, and your kingdom endures from generation to generation. Daniel 4: 34.

³⁴ At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.

His dominion is an eternal dominion;
    his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
³⁵ All the peoples of the earth
    are regarded as nothing.
He does as he pleases
    with the powers of heaven
    and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back his hand
    or say to him: “What have you done?”

³⁶ At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. ³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

Luke 17, Gods physical kingdom and his coming kingdom: A time of Noah likewise that of Lots.

Luke 17 begins with manners of ways the last days characteristics may be: Offence, it tells us how to deal with them. By forgiving because Christ has forgiven us. Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? ¹⁰ So you also, when you have done everything, you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

We are unworthy servants who choose to do Gods duty because we thank God, we can do what he told us to do so the kingdom of God will come nigh unto you. This began the pharisees question on when the kingdom of Yahua should come.

²⁰ and Jesus answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

²¹ Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The days of Noah typified in Luke 17:26-27, depicts a day of great flooding that would destroy the earth. Although, God had promised that he would not destroy the earth again, however the days of Noah was known with the water element and flooding to destroy the earth. The scriptures go on to say why the DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN would be likened to that of Noah it says, and I quote:

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

²⁷ They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

So, we have a before Christ time frame and an after Christ time frame. Typically, this Generation is the Generation of Christ, the Generation of Salvation through Christ Jesus; and he further illustrates it with the 10 lepers where only the foreigner rejoices after 9 were saved. It is the time of the Gentiles, that would see the flooding where they would eat, drink had many wives and be given in marriage…

The bible then goes on to say in the next verse that the time of lot and Noah are alike except in the time of lot more things would happen like eating, drinking, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.

They key difference is in Noah’s days i.e., the days of the son of man they married and had many wives however in the days of lot i.e., the days when the son of man is revealed they were more who bought sold more and built in these times. While it seems plausible that these are my ramblings but there is a definite distinction between the days of the son of man (Where he dwells in us) and the days when the son of man is revealed (His 2nd coming).

His first coming reveals the happenings in the times of the son of man (Gentiles); Noah while the time of lots was a time where Gold and goods where traded. Typifying the difference in times. This two time show the sequence of salvation: baptism with water and the word and baptism with fire (the holyspirit). A similar view with 1 kings 18: 38

The fire consumed the sacrifice, the wood (the cross), stone (Jesus, the church (the stone the builders rejected), (living stone)), and dust (dust we come and return – flesh) and it licked up the water in the bench – I Kings 18:33-38

1 Kings 18 KJV – And it came to pass after many days, – Bible Gateway

We see water is first poured before fire consumed the sacrifice and it rained. Similarly, Noah’s period came first with rain -new beginning for creation (Days when the Church is revealed, the body of Christ) and the Lots (Abrahamic) when Gods people got out (Abraham, lot as in the Church) before fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all will be when the sun of man is revealed.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13), is a common verse that we recite. However, the will to work and do his good pleasure comes from Yahushua. Philippians 2:13.

we live in an era where ENERGY and believe in yourself is interchangeably used with faith. However, faith is to rest our strength in what Jesus has done. Isaiah 30:15 “
For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not”.

since, quietness and confidence is strength then the strength of our salvation is made perfect in our weakness. it is Jesus who is the perfect representation of my strength that enables us to overcome our fears (weakness) through him.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen (Jesus) works at the cross; (We buy stuffs online we don’t, what’s the assurance we will get it without faults = Faith) we have not yet seen. The key word to note here is Evidence of things not seen – sth. bears nwithin us) that we believe what we ask for even still we are yet to see it and that witness is the spirit of God given to us by Jesus; that enables us build courage in his word that what he said he would do, he has already done at the cross of calvary,

it’s quite easy to say put off the wrong words placed over our lives but those are our weakness we must acknowledge in order to set our eyes on him, who is perfect to overcome. it is written that it’s not that we are sufficient of ourselves, our sufficiency is from God. So, when I can’t go on days like these, I look to the one who is perfect (Yahusha), sufficient to lift us up; when we set our eyes to him who is able save and rescue us from our weakness (unbelief, faithless) in yahusha name.
