Daniel 4:26 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:26

And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree
roots
That is the watchers and the Holy Ones; or it was commanded: this was the order given by the most High:

thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee;
signifying that another king should not be set up in his place; and though the kingdom and administration of it would depart from, him for a while, yet it would be restored again, and be firm and stable:

after that thou shall have known that the heavens do rule;
that is, that God, who is the Maker of the heavens, and dwells there, is known and acknowledged by thee to rule on the earth; from the government of which he was desirous of excluding him, and taking it to himself; see ( Luke 15:18 ) .

Daniel 4:26 In-Context

24 "This, then, is what it means, Your Majesty, and this is what the Supreme God has declared will happen to you.

25 You will be driven away from human society and will live with wild animals. For seven years you will eat grass like an ox and sleep in the open air, where the dew will fall on you. Then you will admit that the Supreme God controls all human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses.

26 The angel ordered the stump to be left in the ground. This means that you will become king again when you acknowledge that God rules all the world.

27 So then, Your Majesty, follow my advice. Stop sinning, do what is right, and be merciful to the poor. Then you will continue to be prosperous."

28 All this did happen to King Nebuchadnezzar.
