King Nebuchadnezzar is one of the most well-known Old Testament bad guys. He conquered Jerusalem (twice), destroyed Solomon’s temple, and took many Jews captive, including Daniel the prophet as well as Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah—who are better known by their Babylonian names: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He initiated the period of Jewish history known as the Babylonian captivity, which lasted 70 years. “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace. I saw a dream which MADE ME AFRAID, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.” (Dan. 4:4-5)
