Nebuchadnezzar, who has spent most of his life oppressing God’s people, ends his life well. Compare him to the apostle Paul.
Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that Daniel interprets for him. The
king is given another chance to repent which he doesn’t do. The dream
becomes reality as the king is reduced to living with wild animals. Some think this was a form of mental illness called lycanthropy. This illness lasted “seven times” which means seven years.
"the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men."
You can make your own connections to the leaders of the U.S, today in reference to "the lowliest of men".
Companion verse is found in Romans 13:1.
Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon which was founded by Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah. The city was surrounded by a wall 350 feet high and 87 feet thick and wide enough for six chariots to drive abreast. There were 250 watchtowers on top of the wall and it was surrounded by a moat.
