Key Passages
Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
And He was given dominion,glory, and kingship,that the people of every nation and languageshould serve Him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionthat will not pass away,and His kingdom is onethat will never be destroyed.
