The TRUE Meaning of the TREE in Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream!
Jesus said in Luke 21:24 that Jerusalem SHALL be trodden down by the Gentiles UNTIL the TIMES of the Gentiles is FULFILLED.
Let us go ahead and read that verse of Scripture to see if Jesus is telling us of something that has ALREADY happened in HISTORY, or if Jesus is giving us a PROPHECY of a FUTURE time when Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles.
Luke 21:24.
“And they SHALL fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem SHALL be trodden down of the Gentiles, UNTIL the times of the Gentiles be FULFILLED.”
Now, even without the CONTEXT, any English speaking person can clearly understand that Jesus is giving us a PROPHECY of a future time when Jerusalem SHALL be trodden down by the Gentiles.
So then, when would any HONEST Bible teacher use Luke 21:24, which is clearly a PROPHECY of a future event, to TRY to prove that it was FULFILLED way back in history hundreds of years before Jesus was ever born?
No! Of course not! No HONEST Bible teacher will use a PROPHECY of a FUTURE event to try to prove that it already BEGAN to be fulfilled in 607 BCE.
For you see, that would make Jesus to be a LIAR if those Bible teachers are correct when they teach the following.
The emphasis is mine.
“How and WHEN, though, did God’s rulership BEGIN to be “trampled on by the nations”? This HAPPENED in 607 B.C.E. when Jerusalem was conquered by the Babylonians.”
Now, why would Jesus LIE by saying that Jerusalem SHALL be trampled upon by the Gentiles UNTIL the TIMES of the Gentiles is FULFILLED, if the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is correct?
The answer is that Jesus is NOT the one who is LYING.
For you see, the only reason that the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the trampling had already begun way back in 607 BCE is so that the times of the Gentiles would END in 1914.
In other words, that group of Bible Students who would come to be called the Jehovah’s Witnesses NEEDED to try to prove that Jesus returned INVISIBLY to RULE as King over the earth from heaven?
So then, did Jesus DECEIVE us or did the GOVERNING BODY of the Jehovah’s Witnesses ERROR in their understanding of the Scriptures?
Plain and SIMPLE, the “governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses have ERRED in writing their church doctrine for the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
For you see, if the TIMES of the Gentiles for trodding down Jerusalem ENDED in 1914, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses are being taught, then there would be NO more WARS in Israel to trodden down the city of Jerusalem.
But you see, AFTER Jesus gave that PROPHECY in Luke 21:24, the Apostle John gave another PROPHECY of Jerusalem being trodden down by the Gentiles, in Revelation 11:1-4.
So, let us go ahead and read that prophecy as well.
Revelation 11:1-4.
“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:2. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they TREAD under foot FORTY and TWO MONTHS. (Now, from 607 BCE to 1914 is far longer than forty two MONTHS.
Thus, the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are NOT interpreting the Scriptures CORRECTLY)
Revelation 11:3. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, (Speaking of the JEWS and the CHRISTIANS, the only two groups of people who give witness to the TRUTHFUL God, the God of Jesus) and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, (The same amount of days as there is in forty two MONTHS using the Jewish 30 day month) clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4. These (Speaking of the two witnesses) ARE the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”
So then, from this and many other prophecies, we know and understand that Jesus will return VISIBLY in the air with his armies of angels and the saints to fight against the war mongering Gentiles who SHALL be treading down Jerusalem and fighting against Israel.
Please read the following verses of Scripture that clearly teach us that Jesus will come VISIBLY and he will fight against the nations or the GENTILES that will be fighting against Israel to END all WARS for 1000 years.
Zechariah 14:1-3.
“Behold, the day of the LORD COMES, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
Zecheriah 14:2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; (Speaking of war against Israel right before the return of Jesus to fight the armies fighting against Israel from the AIR at the place called Armageddon in Revelation 16:) and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zechariah 14:3. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.”
Isaiah 2:4.
“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
In other words, WHEN Jesus reigns over the earth there will be NO MORE WARS for 1000 years.
Thus, Jesus did NOT return INVISIBLY in 1914 as the governing body has taught the Jehovah’s Witnesses to believe.
Here is the TRUE sound Biblical meaning of the dream that God gave to Nebuchadnezzar.
The throne of Almighty God’s authority was indeed “interrupted” but it was the king OVER all of the children of PRIDE who did the interrupting.
The king over the children of pride is the “spiritual” King of Babylon, Satan, the Devil, also called the Leviathan according to Job 41:34 and Isaiah 27:1.
In other words, BEFORE God ever created mankind, the angel that the KJV Bible calls Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-15 REBELLED against God’s throne of authority and waged a WAR in heaven.
We also read about that WAR in HEAVEN in Revelation 12:7-9.
And God teaches us to ASK Him about that war in heaven in Deuteronomy 4:32.
Deuteronomy 4:32.
“For ASK NOW of the DAYS that are PAST, which were BEFORE you, since (Or FROM) the day that God CREATED MAN upon the earth, and ASK from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?”
So then, something happened BEFORE God CREATED man upon the earth!
And God wants us to ASK HIM about those days BEFORE Genesis 1:3-31.
God also wants us to ASK Him about that GREAT thing that happened which never happened before in all eternity past. But it did indeed happen BEFORE God CREATED human beings upon the earth.
Now, when we look up the meanings of the Hebrew words in this verse of Scripture in Deuteronomy 4:32, then we can see that BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth there was an INSOLENT thing that happened.
In other words, it was a “great” thing that was also INSOLENT.
And that insolent or arrogant thing that happened BEFORE God created the FIRST man Adam upon the earth was an intergalactic WAR in heaven.
To say this another way, ONE side of heaven was AGAINST the OTHER side of heaven.
Now, the KJV “translation” as well as other translations, hide this truth from us by NOT translating the second word for heaven.
Let me show you what I mean.
Here is the last part of Deuteronomy 4:32 (b).
“...and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, (Or more correctly) ...and ask the REASON OF one side of heaven AGAINST the other side of heaven, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, (Or more correctly “translated”, whether there has been any such thing as this INSOLENT thing that is) or has been heard like it?”
For you see, the Hebrew word translated as “great” also means INSOLENT, which means arrogant disrespect.
In other words, it was an arrogant, cocky, brazen attempt for Lucifer and the fallen angels to wage a WAR against their CREATOR and the other side of heaven.
The other side of heaven is speaking of the good angels, Michael and his angels, that remained faithful to their Creator.
I explain this war in heaven in other studies which I link under the menu heading ** Q-0. Why Are We Here - Is God at War? **
But for now, let me introduce part two of this study called Z-12 What Do the Seven Times in Daniel 4:16-25 SYMBOLIZE? Part 2.
I will briefly say that the seven TIMES that passed over Nebuchadnezzar SYMBOLIZE the seven 1000 year periods of times given to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
In other words, Satan will be the god of this present world for SIX of those seven 1000 year periods of time.
And Jesus will be the God over the WHOLE earth during the SEVENTH 1000 year period of time to be God’s FAITHFUL and TRUTHFUL witness used by Almighty God to JUDGE the world, according to Acts 17:28-31.
Then Satan will be let loose from being BOUND for 1000 years DURING the REIGN of Jesus, and Yahweh;s EVEMY will DECEIVE the nations to make WAR again after the SEVENTH 1000 years period of time has ENDED.
The earth will then PASS AWAY with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat to destroy Satan, the fallen angels, and all of the wicked humans in the lake of fire, according to 2 Peter 3:9-13.
Jesus will step down from ruling over the earth and commit the Kingdom back into the hands of the his God and Father, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.
Almighty God with then create a NEW Heavens and a NEW Earth where His NEW creation of RIGHTEOUS sons and daughters will INHERIT for all eternity.
I will cover the TRUE meaning of the TREE in Nebuchadezzar’s dream in part two of this study.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
