"The King answered Daniel and said 'Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of Kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery.'"
However, after some time, King Nebu made an image of gold, 60 cubits tall and 6 cubits wide, and ordered everyone to fall down and worship it. Whoever failed to do so would be thrown into a furnace and burnt alive.
After some more time, King Nebu again praised the God of Daniel. Dan 4:2, he said "It seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me. 'How great are His signs. And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And His dominion is from generation to generation.'"
You see, King Nebu was a 'typical' believer of God. Sometime he believed, sometimes he turned to other gods, and sometimes he came back to believe God again.
Are we not the same as King Nebu?? We believe in God, we also believe in other gods like fame, fortune, wealth and honor. In one season, our allegiance is to God. In other seasons, our allegiance to other gods. And then we turn to God again.
