'Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.'
[Daniel 4:37]
8. May 2010 Edit:
Nebuchadnezzar... what a guy.
So.
He had a dream. Daniel interpreted it.
Nebuchadnezzar would lose everything, living among the wild animals, because he was a wicked oppressor and would not acknowledge God as the sovereign Ruler over all the kingdoms, even that of his in Babylon. This very thing happened. But then Nebuchadnezzar praised the Most High God - both his sanity and his kingdom were restored. He became even greater than before [Daniel 4:36]. But first he was humbled by God... he did not merely live among the wild animals, he basically became a wild animal. It just goes to show that God will do what He pleases in order to rid us of our pride.
