Nebuchadnezzar was considered ruler of the whole known world. Could it be that he was a type of foreshadow of another being reflected here?
Yes he is one of the types of the Antichrist, certainly. And his madness for 7 years due to his overwhelming pride.
But I see something more in that man. It's the end point. He ends up acknowledging and praising God and that is the final time he appears in the Bible.
To me that suggests something else going on.
The overwhelming pride of man opposed to God, the madness of a 7 year period of judgment and trial, the redemption once he yields his will. His trust in power, his pride of life, his mastery of gold (money) all destroyed in that 7 year period.
The final act is him giving up all that to praise God and acknowledge Him. As those who survive the Tribulation as believers will.
This is the person who conquers and destroys Kedar and Hazor.
And if those stand for mixture- the Arabs are mixture, and that source that
@mattfivefour gave says
JEHOVAH’S PUNISHMENT AND JUDGMENT UPON KEDAR AND THE KINGDOMS OF HAZOR that these are a type of the world mixing with the church, characterized by their wealth and oblivious attitude towards impending destruction
then what I see is Laodicea
and a period of judgment and trials that burn out the Laodicean attitudes, leaving this person Nebuchadnezzar as a type of the believer survivors that make it thru.
But I still don't know how that factors into the other people groups mentioned in Jer 49 other than this little character study of the man.
The main difference between him and the AC is that by the end of the Tribulation period the AC hates God, while Neb turns to God.
