Daniel 4:3

3 ¡Cuán grandes son sus señales! ¡Cuán portentosas son sus maravillas! ¡Su reino es un reino eterno! ¡Su soberanía permanece de generación en generación!

Daniel 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:3

How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders!
&c.] They are great, very great, exceeding great; so great that it cannot be said, nor even conceived how great they are, what a display of wisdom, power, and goodness is in them; they are wonderful beyond expression and conception; and so strong and mighty as not to be resisted and made void by all the powers of nature, earth, or hell; and if this may be said of his works of providence, and his miracles of that, how much more of his works and miracles of grace! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
Nebuchadnezzar's reign, though a long one, had an end, and so have all others; but the kingdom of God is for ever; the kingdom of providence, and also of grace; the kingdom of his Son, the Messiah, as in ( Daniel 2:44 ) from whence Nebuchadnezzar had learnt this: and his dominion is from generation to generation;
or, "with generation and generation" F1; it goes along, and continues with all generations, and will do so to the end of time.

Daniel 4:3 In-Context

1 El rey Nabucodonosor,a todos los pueblos y naciones que habitan en este mundo, y a toda lengua:¡Paz y prosperidad para todos!
2 Me es grato darles a conocer las señales y maravillas que el Dios Altísimo ha realizado en mi favor.
3 ¡Cuán grandes son sus señales! ¡Cuán portentosas son sus maravillas! ¡Su reino es un reino eterno! ¡Su soberanía permanece de generación en generación!
4 Yo, Nabucodonosor, estaba en mi palacio, feliz y lleno de prosperidad,
5 cuando tuve un sueño que me infundió miedo. Recostado en mi lecho, las imágenes y visiones que pasaron por mi mente me llenaron de terror.
