Praise vs. True Repentance
Commentators like Calvin and Gill stress that Nebuchadnezzar's declaration is not a true conversion. He blesses 'their God,' not 'my God,' and doesn't abandon his idols. His praise is an emotional reaction to a display of power, a 'momentary faith,' rather than a lasting change of heart. This serves as a powerful reminder that acknowledging God's power is different from surrendering to Him as Lord.
