I think it's because it is so chock full of information I just haven't sorted it all out yet. I will read it again in the morning for clarity. It's obvious that I need to get my head back into this room, huh? 8-)

The emphasis on "they", "watchers and "holy ones" is to bring to attention the intervention of the affairs of men by God, and God's angelic creation whether good or bad.

It is my belief based on the verses cited and others that some of the ones in power today appear as men but are actually some of the fallen ones that followed Satan. Noted this verse.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

You may have entertained an angel without your knowledge. If God's holy angels can appear as normal men then it is certain that Satan's angels can do the same. Do you follow my drift concerning the rulers of this world. Just as they controlled event with Nebuchadnezzar they may be doing the same. Than coming anti-Christ will be of supernatural birth just as Jesus. It won't be the same but will be an imitation. When you think of the un-explainable evil that permeates the world today you can understand how the "god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4) would have so much control over it.

Only God can change the direction this country is heading, hence the emphasis on changing of hearts as Nebuchadnezzar had to do and also the emphasis on the verses showing that God can change things if his people will humble themselves before him and seek Him.

Hope this helps.
