He acknowledged God. No Christians until after Christ. Don’t know if he continued following God. Bible doesn’t say. His son obviously did not.

* I don’t “feel strongly” about the issue.
* Just a few soft thoughts for your consideration:
* My view: King Nebby did MORE than mere “acknowledge” God.
See the Daniel 4 passage below,
* “No Christians until Christ.”___MMTU
Agreed.
I’m not sure but I think I put “Christian” in quotes and
mentioned that King Nebby could be a “believer”
by which I meant an Old testament believer.
* True we don’t know if he continued
following God. But no reason to think
he did not — King Nebby’s statements
below strongly suggests he became a
believer.
* “ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and
glorify the King of heaven, because everything
he does is right and all his ways are just. And
those who walk in pride he is able to humble.”
Daniel 4

34At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.
His dominion is an eternal dominion;
his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
35All the peoples of the earth
are regarded as nothing.
He does as he pleases
with the powers of heaven
and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back his hand
or say to him: “What have you done?”
36At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. 37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Daniel 4
