God's Unshakable Kingdom

Commentators emphasize that Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful human ruler, learned through his own humbling that all earthly power is temporary. His declaration contrasts his fragile throne with God's eternal, unchanging reign. This serves as a powerful reminder that while human leaders and empires rise and fall, God's dominion is absolute and endures forever.
