Read Daniel 4.1-37 Nebuchadnezzar's madness.
Using the form of an epistle or public proclamation,
this chapter demonstrates
God's power over pagan rulers.
In verses 1-2 typical epistolary introduction.
All peoples, nations, and languages that live throughout the earth:
Mesopotamian rulers generally claimed rule over the entire world.
The motif prepares the reader to recognize God's universal sovereignty.
In verse 3 again, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges God.
