DANIEL II, III, IV.

[World 3437] [Captivity 36] NEBUCHAD-NEZZAR now come to his height, hath a dream of the four Monarchies, of the tree cut down, &c. grows proud, and will be worshipped for a God. The three Princes of Judah live in the fire; they were now at the least 40 years old, and therefore improperly, but commonly called the three children.

This year is called the second year of the Kingdom of Nebuchad-nezzar, Dan. 2. 1. not of his first being King, but of his intire Monarchy, when Egypt, the only potent Prince and Nation that stood against him, was now subdued. So the first year of Cyrus is to be understood, Ezr. 1. 1. not the first year of his being King, but the first year of his universal Monarchy, as the very next verse explaineth it, The Lord God hath given me all the Kingdoms of the Earth.

Some part of this year is Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 37] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 38] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 39] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 40] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 41] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
[Captivity 42] Nebuchad-nezzar mad.
... [Captivity 43] [Captivity 44] Nebuchad-nezzar restored to his wits and Kingdom again.
