Daniel 4:1-37 (Job 33:14-24) – The Conversion of Nebuchadnezzar – 0474A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0474A recorded on January 6, 1982 teaching from Daniel 4:1-37 (Job 33:14-24) – The Conversion of Nebuchadnezzar.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens focuses on the biblical account of The Conversion of Nebuchadnezzar found in Daniel 4, emphasizing that salvation is initiated by God, even before the time of Christ. Pastor Stevens systematically outlines seven truths illustrated by the king’s experience, particularly stressing that God always takes the initiative in seeking out individuals for salvation, a theological point supported by Job 33:14 . Stevens’ discourse highlights God’s wondrous patience in speaking to people repeatedly through various means—including dreams, the testimony of others like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and eventually, through drastic measures like severe illness (lycanthropy) when pride prevents humility. Ultimately, the powerful monarch is brought to his knees, resulting in a glorious public testimony where he praises the King of Heaven and acknowledges that God is able to abase the proud.
