Daniel 4:28-37
All this dream happened 12 months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, he said,"is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?"
At the end of that time, Nebuchadnezzar raise his eyes toward heaven, and his sanity was restored. Then he praised the Most High; He honored and glorified him who lives forever.
His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation. All 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?"
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.
the Lord does as he pleases with the powers of heaven, everything he does is right and all his ways are just.
King's pride in his achievements an archaeology shows they really were something to boast of overrides Daniel's wise advice.
Why?
On Nebuchadnezzar 's illness, consultant psychiatrist Dr. M.G. Barker sees in Nebuchadnezzar's case the characteristic of depressive illness with relatively acute(急性) onset and delusional(妄想) belief of a morbid (痛苦 )nature. In this days before modern treatments, he says 'most such illnesses had a spontaneous remission within a period of one, two and occasionally, more years. The form of the delusion is unusual today, though Dr Baker has himself encountered two cases.
There is some evidence of a tradition that the king became ill in his later years, although contemporary official records, not surprisingly, are silent about this.
Great king of Babylon has to humble himself and he acknowledge the his kingdom can't compare with the dominion of an eternal dominion. Here shows us only God is the real Most High, king of kings.
The Lord does as he pleases with the powers of heaven, more important is that everything he does is right and all his ways are just.
How?
Worship the Lord, for he is worthy to be worshiped. His kingdom endures forever. Many things we do not understand for his way is beyond our way his mine is over our's.
