What did Nebuchadnezzar command the whole known world to do with his golden image?
Nebuchadnezzar set up a golden image, ninety feet high and about nine feet wide, on the desert sands, and demanded that his entire then-known world worship it. He wanted to unite pagan religions into worship of one image, which represented himself.
Les explains that Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold in chapter 3, and its size was enormous: three score cubits, or 90 feet high, and 6 cubits, or about 9 feet wide. He set it out on the Middle Eastern desert sands and demanded that his whole then-known world worship that image. Les teaches that Nebuchadnezzar had become filled with his own power and self, wanting to unite all those pagan religions into the worship of one image, which would be of himself. Les also notes that the last great world ruler, the Antichrist, 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.
