A King's Confused Faith
Commentators note Nebuchadnezzar's mixed-up theology. He acknowledges Daniel's power comes from "the spirit of the holy gods" and even links Daniel's Babylonian name to his own god, Bel. This shows a man who recognizes the power of the true God but still views Him through a pagan, polytheistic lens, seeing Him as one powerful god among many.
