Most high God. Nebuchadnezzar’s acknowledgment that the God of the three Hebrews was the “most high God” does not necessarily imply that the king had abandoned his polytheistic concepts. To him the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was not the only true God, but simply the most high God, the chief of all gods, in the same way as the Greeks called their Zeus ho hupsistos theos, “the highest god.” The term is also attested in this sense in Phoenicia, and later in the inscriptions of Palmyra.
