Daniel 4:37
v. 37: Nebuchadnezzar finishes his story by saying, Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase (Daniel 4:37 a). He had learned from experience that God can humble even the most powerful people. Nebuchadnezzar now praises God’s justice and truth. He saw that everything God does is right, and God is able to bring down anyone who is proud.Not long after this, Nebuchadnezzar died. Some ancient writers say he predicted Babylon would be conquered by Cyrus before he died. We do not know for sure if he continued to trust God, but there is no evidence against it. If God showed mercy to Nebuchadnezzar, it is a reminder that anyone can receive God’s grace. Nebuchadnezzar’s story is about losing everything for a time so that his soul might be saved forever.
