What Does Daniel 4:36 Mean?
As his reason returns, so does everything else: his honor and brightness, his counselors and lords, his place on the throne. He is established again in his kingdom, and excellent majesty is even added to what he had before. The spared stump has grown back.
This is the promise of the spared stump fulfilled, and more. God's discipline, received rightly, does not leave us poorer but richer in what truly matters. The king regains his throne, but now holds it as a gift rather than a boast. What we surrender to God's rule He often returns to us, transformed and increased.
