Daniel 4:10

[Nebuchadnezzar recounts the vision to Daniel:] "This was the vision I saw while lying on my bed:
I saw a tree in the middle (center) of the earth,
and it was very tall.
[Daniel identifies the tree as a symbol of Nebuchadnezzar himself and the Babylonian Empire. Its central location and spread in all directions describe how it permeates and influences the whole world. Trees are often used in the Bible: the tree of life stood in the middle of the Garden of Eden, see Gen. 2:9. Both the land of Assyria and the pharaoh of Egypt are likened to a tree by Ezek. 31:1-18. Jesus likens the Kingdom of God to a large tree, see Matt. 13:32. A clay tablet found in Babylon describes how Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom is likened to a tree.]
