Prophecies
Daniel 4: 1-37
The setting of this dream is a giant tree where animals and people were taking food and shelter, until an angel cried with a loud voice to killing but leaving the roots of the linked in chains of iron and bronze, the king had to change the heart in a heart of the beast, until they were seven times. Were invited, (as usual) magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, but on this occasion were not able to reveal the dream. Is again called Daniel, because the king believes the depositary of the Spirit of the Saints. (Dan 4:18) and the prophet says the dream. In your identifying the king of Babylon, predicts that the magnitude and magnificence of his reign, would have been removed for a period of seven times, his heart (mental state) would have been changed into a heart of animal, after that the time predicted, everything would be back better than before, with the recognition by the king is "dominating the sky above the events of men. "Dan.4: 26.
Now we want to analyze, at a distance of about 2600 years tells us what the medical clinic in connection with this strange change which for centuries had been relegated to a mythological story and anything demonic behavior. In 1918 Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) published in the (Kchriften zur Sammlung Neurosenlehre) "collection of short essays on the theory of neurosis," a treaty psychoanalytical where the Treaty was a case of a young Russian (it remained for years in anonymity: Sergei Constantinovich Pankjeff). This clinical case, perhaps one of the best known, was under consideration by both the father of psychoanalysis, both on the part of the largest clinical sector and is widely recognized as the case of licantropo. He died on 7 May 1979 at the age of 92 years. It was the journalist Karin Obholzer that had followed the tracks of the Russian in Vienna published interviews word for word "in 1980 by the Italian title in 60 years after licantropo , bringing to the fore the man whose history of the case had occupied the psychoanalytic movement for nearly seventy years. There is no specific nosografia frame in which this disorder, it is a form of delirium that can be expressed in several psychiatric disorders of paranoid personality type or in certain forms of psychosis. This delirium, termed "human zoo" is the pathological belief of a subject to turn into an animal or that some of his body are being transformed into those of animals. In psychiatry, the condition in which there is the belief of being transformed into wolf is also called "licantropia of Nebuchadnezzar."
Dr. Richard Noll clinical psychologist, in (Vampires, and Demons werwolves) claimed that since 1975 there have been 18 documented cases of licantropia. Six of these involved hallucinations lupi.ei remaining focused on other animals, the diagnosis most often was of bipolar disorder, but also depression and hallucinatory schizophrenia. Noll believes that licantropia like to zooantropia, or "the illusion that the subject has become animal" that the psychologist described as dissociative disorder. We can say with certainty that what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar, beyond any doubt it was a real sham pathological delirium (wanted dall'Iddio Almighty, the King because God had a prophetic picture), and that the time expired, he regains its perfectly healthy.
What does all this mean? Do we really want to believe that a king pagan idolatry and come psychotic, is described in the Word of God, so meticulous and detailed only because the story of what would serve the conversion of that? We also recognize that although the God of Daniel as the only true God, this did not allow him to turn away from the worship of all gods. In one of the inscriptions found, attributed to King Nebuchadnezzar, we give a description of the construction business and he did, we read: For seven years the residence of my kingdom not delight my heart. In
none of my possessions erected some of the most important buildings with my power. Not innalzai buildings in Babylon for me and for the honor of my name. Merodac my adoration of God, not cantai his praise, or given sacrifices for his altar, or clean up the channels.
It 'true that behind all this, there is a much bigger picture of what appears, and Daniel himself, the prophet of God knows well all that describe what you would say, not only at the place and time where the event occurred and enlighten us on what they wanted to mean in the course of human history.
The biblical story tells us, that after a period of Judges, the Israelites asked God a king, to be equal to all other nations, the Lord will satisfy them, and the king appointed the earth was a kind of theocracy, the people rule with the law of Moses and the prophets. Over time, there were kings who are away from what the Lord called them, coming as in the case of King Manasseh to offer human sacrifices to idols; highly abominable thing for a monotheistic God. At the time of the dream of the tree by Nabucodonor, the kingdom of Judah became so corrupt that God allowed the king to destroy it, to killing. This has happened historically in AEV 607 At that time it was said to locationCA (last king of Israel) "Remove the crown ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... For sure will not become anyone as long as you are the one who has the legal right to have to give him the ". Ezekiel 21:25-27. It 'clear that the domain of God portrayed by the great tree was cut at the roots, no longer allowing Israel to have a monarchy on earth, whose roots were not eradicated, but tied with chains iron and bronze, and when it came time established by God, again freed from the shackles, gave birth to a new domain, a new government, larger than would have ruled over the whole inhabited earth. But when all this? No forget who had to spend "seven times" as it is quantified in the Holy Bible now? And we can determine the age-old history began when?
History secular and religious agree fully with the canon of Ptolemy, which puts the year 537 AEV as the year that ended in the desolation of Jerusalem and the beginning of restoration of the Jews in the territory, since the prophecy referred to a flight of 70 years, the prophet Jeremiah to cap.25: vers.11 says: This country will become a desolation and an object of wonder, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years. From this it follows that the overthrow of the kingdom of Israel was done in 607 a. EV-537 +70 = 607. From this year that the Almighty God no longer a theocracy or kingdom to represent, and it is then that we begin to count the time that was spent for the establishment of a kingdom larger than One of you will say: There will be no end to increasing its empire and peace on the throne of David on his kingdom, to firmly establish and strengthen it through the trial and justice, now and forever. This will make the zeal of Eternal of hosts. Isaiah 9:6 .- Together with Christ Jesus (SOLE LEGITIMATE HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM) there will be 144,000 thousand heirs, or the people of the saints, given to Daniele da Cap.7 ver.27. This period of domination by universal agreement the governments of nations, began, as we shall see shortly, not with the restoration of mental health of King Nebuchadnezzar, but when the typical kingdom of the Lord was ended, and the domination of the world was left to the nations Gentili . You can also control how the prophet Ezekiel to cap.21 :30-32 - II Chronicles 36:21-23, Zechariah 7:4-5. Though Jerusalem was then rebuilt and the inhabitants captive facts back, there was no longer king in Israel to date. Restored in their land and their personal freedom, as a nation, from King Cyrus, the Israelites were then subject to the Persians, the Greeks and Romans. On the first Advent of our Lord, they were still under the yoke of the latter.
The promise of God to Abraham, renewed with Isaac and Jacob, was based on the birth of his "offspring", the great Liberator that not only had to bless and exalt his family, but ALL the families of the earth. At the time of the great legislator Moses, the people, it first was brought to see in Him the promised deliverer. But Moses prophesied and explained to it that he was the type (or prophetic figure) of the One who was yet to come Deuteronomy 18 :17-19. The promise that the scepter of command would not have been removed to Judah, the tribe convoy towards the hope and expectation of all other tribes, who were waiting with Judas the realization of the blessings while exchanging pleasantries. When David, the tribe promised, he was proclaimed king, his victories aroused great hopes, and believed that the influence of that kingdom is extended over the whole earth, to subdue all nations to the Law.
Subsequently, when the wisdom and greatness of Solomon, universally recognized, reached the apogee, all believed that the universal rule was a fait accompli. The promise of God to David, which stated that from his loins would have generated a scion would have prevailed on his throne for ever, was limited to a single family the promise given to the tribe of Judah. When the great temple was completed and the large crowd of choristers and priests formed a spectacle to say the least impressive, the fame of Solomon was expanded in the most distant lands, the king sent for their gifts, the queen of Sheba came in person with his gifts, to see and know the most famous kings and glorious that the world had ever known. Not therefore seem strange that the Jews opened their hearts to hope and pride, as if time dell'esaltazione of the seed of Abraham and the blessing of all nations, waiting for so long, had finally come.
But their disappointment was great when, after the death of Solomon, the kingdom was divided and later completely reversed, especially when these people who had hoped to govern and bless the nations as the People of God, was led captive in Babylon (Psalm 137:1). Although the corona - the power of self-government - was taken away to Israel, IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT HAND. The universal dominion granted to Nebuchadnezzar and his successors, according to the illustration of the great statue was (of the four beasts of chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel - then we will largely) only for a limited time. The promise made to Israel was originally performed, and the crown was removed, but the scepter of the law remained until the first coming of "schiloh". This was strongly confirmed in the decree of divine dethrone locationCA (Ezec.21 :30-32). The words of our Lord Jesus, that Jerusalem would be trodden by the feet of nations until "the times of nations (or Gentiles) were not made," not only suggest the idea of a limited period and determined the domain of nations, but also suggest that these "times" are connected and measured in one way or another with the earthly city of Jerusalem (Matthew 23:37-39, Luke 21:24). In the Bible a "time" is used in the sense of a year, no matter whether this is literal or symbolic sense, but at the time of disclosure of prophecy, this distinction is impossible. A year symbolic, prophetic in the sense followed by the Bible, is calculated on the basis of a Jewish lunar years, 12 months to 30 giortni each, ie 360 days and each year is represented by a day. As a result, "a time" (one year) if it is symbolic, it means 360 days and symbolic "seven times" equals 2520 days or years symbolic. This long period (7 days or 2520 years) of punishment for Israel is identified with the period of domination of the nations and is called the timing of Nations. Having established these times that began with the locationCA dethrone the king and they were 607 a. E.V. and since their last 2520 years - to arrive in 1914.
Having realized that the seven years of the madness of Nebuchadnezzar, although literally fulfilled, are of higher significance and are identified with seven days of the domination of the nations represented symbolically by the king, now the legal power to exercise world domination no longer belongs neither to a man or a nation, but only to the One who shed his blood for us, Jesus His kingdom will have no successors and will last for all ages-Psalm 89:3-4.
We do not want to dwell on this occasion year 1914 (the deal largely in the future, but simply say that is a year marked in Bible history.)
I invite my reader to read the entire chapter: Daniel 5
