How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! these two words signify in their roots, admiration and astonishment; it seems these works of God had that impression upon this king; a great cause whereof was his ignorance of the true God, together with his own excessive pride and epicurism. God by this following dream, and Daniel's instruction, had told him his fate, and that no kingdom but God's kingdom was everlasting, which he had told him once before this, Daniel 2:44. This confession of the king was upon conviction, and it looks somewhat like repentance, but the sequel proves him to be no changeling, though God made prodigious mutations in his kingdom, and in the form of his person, as ye see, Daniel 4:31,32 of this chapter; he was metamorphosed to a monstrous beast, and then to a man again, and yet no convert.
