What Does Daniel 4:32 Mean?
The voice from heaven repeats the sentence Daniel had foretold word for word: driven from men, dwelling with beasts, eating grass, for seven times, until he knows the Most High rules and gives kingdoms as He wills. The judgment is exactly what was warned.
The repetition makes the purpose unmistakable. Three times now the chapter has named the goal: until thou know. God's discipline is relentless toward one end, that the proud heart finally confesses His rule. He will go to great lengths to bring a soul to the saving knowledge of who truly reigns.
