Nebuchadnezzar's Humiliation
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. Dan. 4:29
At the end... God endured Nebuchadnezzar’s pride for 12 months. This may have been a period of grace in which God was giving Nebuchadnezzar an opportunity to turn to Him in repentance. But when Nebuchadnezzar ignored Daniel’s exhortation God, who had given Nebuchadnezzar his authority, announced the interruption of his rule.
It appears from this that nothing happened in the next twelve months. Probably, Nebuchadnezzar thought the interpretation would not come about, since it had been this long. But God does not regard time, as you and I do. We all must repent of our sins, as His grace is sure for a time, but His interruption may not be desirable in our lives.
