How can our country be so blind when Nebuchadnezzar can clearly see God for what He is
Daniel 4:1-3 (KJV), “Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 2 I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. 3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.”

All riches and honor come from God
Daniel 4:32 (KJV), “And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.”
1 Chronicles 29:12 (KJV), “Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.”

Allow God to place people in your life to care and help you

Ezekiel 24 The Parable of the Boiling Pot
The very day Babylon took siege of Jerusalem
Ezekiel 24:1-2 (KJV), “Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.”
The parable given to Ezekiel to tell the people who had been driven to Babylon
Ezekiel 24:3-5 (KJV), “3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: 4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.”
The parable explained to Ezekiel
Ezekiel 24:6-8 (KJV), “6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. 7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.”
The notice that should be brought to the prophet of the escape in an ordinary way
Ezekiel 24:26 (KJV), “26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
Ezekiel 33:21 (KJV), “And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.”
God told Ezekiel that he would be mute until the day when one escapes captivity
Ezekiel 24:27 (KJV), “27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Ezekiel 33:22 (KJV), “Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.”
