How tall was Nebuchadnezzar's golden image?
Nebuchadnezzar's golden image was three score cubits, 60 cubits, in height. Since a cubit was about a foot and a half, that equals roughly 90 feet high, and it was 6 cubits, or about 9 feet, wide. He set it on Middle Eastern desert sands and demanded the then-known world worship it.
Les teaches that this image in chapter 3 followed Nebuchadnezzar's dream, where only the head was gold. The dream seems to have been a catalyst for what Nebuchadnezzar does next. Filled with his own power and self, he wanted to unite all those pagan religions into worship of one image, which would be of himself. Les notes the last great world ruler, the Antichrist, will do the same. The image was 60 cubits high, about 90 feet, and 6 cubits, roughly 9 feet, wide. It was placed on Middle Eastern desert sands, and the whole then-known world was commanded to worship it.
