Everlasting Dominion
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: Daniel 4:34
The humbled king praises the God whose dominion is everlasting. Later in Daniel that same everlasting dominion is given to 'one like the Son of man,' so this praise anticipates the eternal reign of Christ.
