The Supreme

Nabopolossar, that Babilnia governed during 21 years, of 625-604 B.C., prepared the land on which its son would construct a world-wide empire. Nabucodonozor, ' ' the head of ouro' ' , he was a monarch notable, not only for its conquests, but also for the workmanships that carried through. It built Babel, the capital of the empire, and made of it a huge city, for its dimensions, and sutuosa, for the works of art that sheltered. It lead the politics with firmness and wisdom. Its power was human limitless. As much the imperial government as the religion was directed by it. But also it did not lack a good parcel to it of despostismo.

Its will was the supreme law. It simply it commanded, without having that to consult nobody. The following tickets of Daniel in also give a test to them of its power and of its absolute in power character (Dn.1: 5; 2:46,48; 3:13,19,20). B) – the chest and the arms of silver (w.32-39): The chest and the arms of silver symbolize the empire Fear? Persian. As the others two, the Greek empire and the Roman empire, it not yet existed in the days of Nabucodonozor.

As the name already indicates, and as the two on arms for the chest represent, it is about an empire that went to be formed by the union of two peoples: this empire also is known simply by the name of Persian, therefore the Persians were the part most predominant. In this kingdom already more was noticed the influence of the noblemen and the princes on the king. The law that Dario signed (6: 9) cut was an artifice of the noblemen of its, and the monarch was obliged the cumpriz it against its will. Situations thus could not nor be imagined in the Empire of Nabucodonozor. As well as the silver it is of lesser value that the gold, was lesser authority of the king in this as empire.
