This Is Babylon

King Nebuchadnezzar stands high above the fortified city of Babylon, stretching out his hands toward its walls, towers, gates, temples, and crowded streets. The scene portrays the proud royal boast recorded in Daniel, when the king surveyed his imperial capital and claimed its greatness as the work of his own power and majesty. The expansive city below emphasizes Babylon’s wealth and authority, while the king’s elevated posture reveals the spiritual danger of arrogance before God. This artwork is well suited for teaching on Daniel 4, the humbling of Nebuchadnezzar, the sovereignty of God over earthly kingdoms, and the warning that human glory cannot stand above the Lord.
