Da:3:25: He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, spoke these words. How would a king of Babylon know what the Son of God looked like?
Maybe...the 4th man Nebuchadnezzar saw in the fire was Jesus in his glorified body. Maybe...at the sight of that Man, he was overwhelmed by the Spirit of Truth, for a time.
Just my thoughts, given.
Don't ask me why these scriptures come to mind. They just do. Men are overwhelmed by the presence of God, whether it be manifested in an angelic visitation, or a burning bush, or a repentant soul receiving a touch. They KNOW when it's God.
Romans 14:11
11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:9-11
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
You know, God DOES let us know that He's here! I have a feeling that since He was in control and not "King" Neb, that He had a wonderful way of revealing Himself to him. I like what Given said about "Maybe at the sight of that Man, he was overwhelmed by the Spirit of Truth, for a time." And who was it that would say "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life?" Jesus, of course! John 14:6.
