Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 4:1-37

Daniel 4. This chapter takes us again into the realm of Apocalyptic. Nebuchadnezzar dreams a fresh dream. This time he sees a gigantic tree, the top of which reached to heaven, full of leaves and fruit. Suddenly a holy one appears from heaven, and cries the command, “ Hew down the tree, strip off the branches, but leave the stump in the ground.” That the dream refers to some individual is clear, for the “ holy one” continues, “ Let his portion be with the beasts. Let his heart be changed from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 4:33

He was driven from men; being bereft of his understanding, as a man distracted, he fled, and betook himself to the woods; or was thrust and driven out, either by popular tumults, or conspiracy of his nobles, or by his son Evil-merodach. Some think, when he raved, he was bound with chains, and after turned off loose into the woods among beasts. And his nails like birds claws, which might easily grow in seven years to a prodigious length and deformity. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 4:28-37

HOMILETICSSECT. XVI.—NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S MADNESS (Chap. Daniel 4:28-37)“Riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure to all generations?” History presents us with many and great contrasts occurring in the experience of individuals, even in the course of a single day. The monarch who in the morning has swayed the sceptre over millions of his fellow-men, in the evening has been a solitary exile or a dishonoured corpse. Herod Agrippa, in the height of his prosperity, receives in the morning the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 4:1-37

Daniel 4:0 I. In this chapter we have a solemn and instructive warning against pride and vain-glory. II. A sad illustration of the proverb that pride goeth before a fall. III. A beautiful illustration of fidelity in the proclamation of God's truth. IV. A loud call to thank God for the continuance of our reason. V. A reminder that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men. W. M. Taylor, Daniel the Beloved, p. 77. References: 4 R. Payne-Smith, Homiletic Magazine, vol. ix., p. 171; J. G.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 4:1-37

Chapter 4Now Nebuchadnezzar the king, [a proclamation] unto all the people, nation, languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought towards me. How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation ( Daniel 4:1-3 ).Listen to these words of Nebuchadnezzar. Sounds like a convert. And I personally believe he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 4:1-37

The three first verses of this chapter in Theodotian and the Vulgate, are appended to the third chapter; but seem to stand better as in the English, being the introduction to the dream. Daniel 4:5 . The visions of my head troubled me. The king believed that his dream was portentous of future events. Daniel 4:7 . The magicians, as in Daniel 2:2. Daniel 4:10 . I saw a tree. See the dream of Cambyses, in the note on Isaiah 4:2. Daniel 4:13 . A watcher and a holy one came down from... read more

Daniel 4:19-37Moments, of Astonishment“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 spiritual... read more

Daniel 4:27-37Wherefore, O King, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee.Daniel’s CounselDaniel gives counsel to the king like a man of God, directing him to break off his sins by righteousness, and his iniquities or oppressions by showing mercy to the poor, if it might be a lengthening of his tranquility, and thus in some degree mitigating the punishment that was coming upon him. We see here brought out some of the excellencies of Daniel. 1. The kindness of his heart. In the yearnings of... read more

Daniel 4:33He was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen.Broken PrideThis chapter, which is a rescript to all the provinces of his empire, was written by king Nebuchadnezzar. It is a frank, affecting, and instructive chapter of autobiography. I. PRIDE WARNED. Success had crowned Nebuchadnezzar, and now he “was at rest in his house, flourishing (as a tree) in his palace.” But “a dream which made him afraid” came to him. Astonished to silence stood Daniel before the king. He hears the dream,... read more

Dan 4:33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ [feathers], and his nails like birds’ [claws]. Ver. 33. The same hour was the thing fulfilled. ] When least expected. The like befell the old world, Sodom, Pharaoh, Julian, &c. See 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 .
