Chapter 3: (Story 1: The Pride of Nebuchadnezzar)
The three archangels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, stood before Rona in the throne room of Babylon.
"Rona, witness the pride of Nebuchadnezzar," Michael said, his voice stern.
As they spoke, the king's grandeur and arrogance unfolded before her. The archangels' wings fluttered, and they vanished, leaving Rona alone amidst the opulence.
"Learn from Nebuchadnezzar's downfall," Gabriel's fading voice whispered. "Humility is the path to true greatness."
Rona stood frozen, surrounded by the symbols of Nebuchadnezzar's pride, as the king's own voice boomed, "I am the greatest, none can rival me!" Rona's eyes widened, recognizing the eerie parallel to her own mistakes.
She found herself transported to ancient Babylon, surrounded by opulent architecture and bustling markets. She became a royal advisor to Nebuchadnezzar, witnessing the king's grandeur and pride.
As Rona watched, Nebuchadnezzar's arrogance grew, fueled by his wealth and power. She saw the construction of the Hanging Gardens, a marvel of engineering and beauty, and attended lavish feasts showcasing the king's wealth.
But Rona also witnessed Nebuchadnezzar's downfall, driven by his own pride. The king's sanity began to unravel, and his advisors turned against him.
Rona realized that her own pride had blinded her to the harm she caused. As Nebuchadnezzar's sanity returned, Rona understood the value of humility.
"Lord, I see now," Rona prayed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've been so focused on being right that I forgot to love and listen."
