Dànyǐlǐshū 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:11

The tree grew, and was strong
Grew higher and broader, taller and thicker, increased in boughs and branches, and became strong and stable, that no winds nor storms could move it: this shows the increasing power of Nebuchadnezzar, the enlargement of his dominions, and the stability of his empire: and the height thereof reached unto heaven;
higher than any on earth; expressive of his dominion over all nations and people of the earth; or of his ambition of deity itself; and so Saadiah illustrates it by ( Isaiah 14:14 ) . "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds &c.": and the sight thereof to the end of the earth:
being so high, it was seen afar off; the fame of this great monarch reached to the ends of the earth; the eyes of all were turned to him; some looking upon him with wonder, others with envy.
