| 0:30.5 | Today on Truth for Life, Alastairbeg examines the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar's |
| 0:35.4 | fickle attempts at faith in the one true God. |
| 0:39.4 | Learn what it took for him and what it takes for us to break the destructive cycle. |
| 0:51.4 | Daniel chapter 4 verse 1, King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations and languages that dwell in all the earth, |
| 0:59.3 | peace be multiplied to you. It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the most high God has done for me. |
| 1:08.9 | How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders, his kingdom is an |

| 2:29.9 | and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. Its leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, |
| 2:35.9 | and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens |
