Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 4:34-37

6. Nebuchadnezzar’s restoration 4:34-37 The narrative resumes in the first person, adding the force of personal testimony to the story that the king had been telling. "Raising his eyes to heaven" implies that Nebuchadnezzar finally came to the end of himself-and sought divine help from Yahweh."Sanity begins with a realistic self-appraisal." [Note: Baldwin, p. 116.] "The ability to recognize God is the fundamental difference between beasts and men. In any age, the glory of man is to recognize... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 4:1-37

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream and its fulfilmentIn the form of a proclamation Nebuchadnezzar records his experience of the power of the Most high God (Daniel 4:1-3). He had a dream which none of his wise men could interpret (Daniel 4:4-7). He then called Daniel, and told him the dream, in which he had seen a lofty and spreading tree, which at the bidding of an angel had been cut down, its stump being bound among the grass for seven ’times’ (Daniel 4:8-18). Daniel explained that the tree was... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Daniel 4:1-37

THE BABYLONIAN CEDAR, AND THE STRICKEN DESPOTTHRICE already, in these magnificent stories, had Nebuchadrezzar been taught to recognise the existence and to reverence the power of God. In this chapter he is represented as having been brought to a still more overwhelming conviction, and to an open acknowledgment of God’s supremacy, by the lightning-stroke of terrible calamity.The chapter is dramatically thrown into the form of a decree which, alter his recovery and shortly before his death, the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Daniel 4:35

4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his {s} will in the army of heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?(s) He confesses God’s will to be the rule of all justice, and a most perfect law, by which he governs both man and angels and devils, so that none ought to murmur or ask a reason for his doings, but only to stand content with them and give him the glory. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 4:1-37

FROM NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO CYRUS The effect of the interpretation of his dream on Nebuchadnezzar is the inflation of his pride. To be sure, he was grateful to Daniel (Daniel 2:46-49 ), to whom he offered worship, although the latter rejected it no doubt, as did Paul later (Acts 14:11-18 ). His apprehension of Daniel’s God, however, is yet only as one amongst the national or tribal gods, although greater than they. This is clear from what follows in Daniel 3:1-7 , which is an attempt “to unify... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Daniel 4:19-37

Nebuchadnezzar's Testimony Dan 4:19-37 "Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him." There are moments of astonishment in all true ministries. The word "hour" should be replaced by the word "moment": Then Daniel was astonished for one moment. But into one moment how many hours may be condensed! Into one feeling a whole lifetime, with manifold and tragical experience, may enter. We have nothing to do with mere time in calculating... read more
