Ezekiel 28:2
28:2 “Son of man, say to the prince
of Tyre, ‘This is what the sovereign
Lord says:
“‘Your heart is proud and you said, “I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas” –
yet you are a man and not a god,
though you think you are godlike.
Daniel 4:31-32
4:31 While these words were still on the king’s lips,
a voice came down from heaven: “It is hereby announced to you,
King Nebuchadnezzar, that your kingdom has been removed from you!
4:32 You will be driven from human society, and you will live with the wild animals. You will be fed grass like oxen, and seven periods of time will pass by for you before
you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.”
Daniel 5:23-30
5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods
that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control
your very breath and all your ways!
5:24 Therefore the palm of a hand was sent from him, and this writing was inscribed.
5:25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEQEL, and PHARSIN.
5:26 This is the interpretation of the words: As for mene – God has numbered your kingdom’s days and brought it to an end.
5:27 As for teqel – you are weighed on the balances and found to be lacking.
5:28 As for peres – your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
5:29 Then, on Belshazzar’s orders, Daniel was clothed in purple, a golden collar was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed third ruler in the kingdom.
5:30 And in that very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed.
Acts 12:22-23
12:22 But the crowd
began to shout,
“The voice of a god,
and not of a man!”
12:23 Immediately an angel of the Lord
struck
Herod
down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.
