What Does Daniel 4:34 Mean?
At the end of the appointed days, the king lifts up his eyes to heaven, and at that very turning his understanding returns. His first act as a restored man is to bless the Most High and to praise Him who lives forever, whose dominion is everlasting. The voice now speaks again in the first person, a man transformed.
The healing begins the moment he looks up. As long as his gaze was fixed on his own greatness, he lived like a beast; when he lifts his eyes to God, his reason and dignity return. True sanity is to see God as God and ourselves as His. The very confession that opened the chapter is now wrung from a humbled, grateful heart.
