Where did Nebuchadnezzar put his golden image and what did he command?
Nebuchadnezzar set his golden image out on the Middle Eastern desert sands. It was ninety feet high and nine feet wide. He commanded that his whole then-known world worship that image, seeking to unite pagan religions into worship of one image of himself.
Les explains that Nebuchadnezzar’s earlier dream was likely a catalyst for what he does in chapter 3. Filled with his own power and self, the king made an image of gold, even though the image in his dream had only a head of gold. He set it out on the Middle Eastern desert sands. The image was sixty cubits, or about ninety feet, high and six cubits, or about nine feet, wide. Nebuchadnezzar demanded that his whole then-known world worship that image, wanting to unite all those pagan religions into the worship of one image of himself. Les notes this also ties to the last great world ruler, the Antichrist, who will do the same thing.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
