What Does Daniel 4:3 Mean?
The king breaks into praise before he has even told his story, exclaiming over the greatness of God's signs and the might of His wonders. He contrasts his own passing reign with a kingdom that is everlasting and a dominion that runs from generation to generation.
Here a man who ruled the greatest empire of his day confesses that there is a throne above his throne. Earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but the rule of God knows no end. This is the truth the whole chapter will drive home, and the same hope the believer rests in: the kingdom that cannot be shaken belongs to God alone.
