Daniel 4:26
Compare all
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
25 They shall adrive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you beat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven1 times shall pass over you, ctill you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and dgives it to whomever He chooses.  
26 “And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that aHeaven rules.  
27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; abreak off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. bPerhaps there may be ca lengthening of your prosperity.”

Daniel 4:26

thou shalt have known, etc.—a promise of spiritual grace to him, causing the judgment to humble, not harden, his heart.

heavens do rule—The plural is used, as addressed to Nebuchadnezzar, the head of an organized earthly kingdom, with various principalities under the supreme ruler. So "the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 4:17; Greek, "kingdom of the heavens") is a manifold organization, composed of various orders of angels, under the Most High (Ephesians 1:20-21; Ephesians 3:10; Colossians 1:16).
