Daniel 4:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 4:28

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.”

Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation

28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking¹ about the royal palace of Babylon.

30 The king ^aspoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”

31 ^aWhile the word was still in the king’s mouth, ^ba voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

32 And ^athey shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven¹ times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”

Daniel 4:28-31

God finally says, enough is enough. It is time to show you who is really in charge here—and brings Nebuchadnezzar to the lowest of lows. I can only imagine the humiliation of not only the act itself here, but returning to Babylon after all that time when his reason returns, the shame he must have felt seeing those people that he knew that used to serve under him, welcoming him back.
