DANIEL 4:3

[Daniel 4:3 AKJV] — "How great are His signs! and how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation."

[Daniel 4:3 FBV] — His signs are incredible. His wonders are amazing! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and His rule will last for all generations!



Well at this stage of sharing testimony, one would have expressed the branch or aspect of the attributes of God he/she is witnessing/testifying about: For usually, one may not be testifying about all attributes/aspects of God. The aspect of God's attributes he/she may be focused on includes:

*1* God is good and merciful or testifying of the Goodness of God; or,
*2* God keeps covenant or testifying of Covenant-keeping God; or,
*3* God grants or answers prayers; or,
*4* God of miracles, God of wonders, working all impossibilities; or,
*5* God is real and true; or,
*6* God is Revealer of Secrets or God of Mysteries and Wisdom; or,
*7* God of Salvation or Deliverance;
*Etc*

In the top Bible verse above, the testifier/witness (Nebuchadnezzar the king) introduced the aspect or attributes of God that structured the core points or message of his testimony: The core aspect of his testimony is basically about "The Kingdom of God:" For he was preaching/witnessing about "the Kingdom and Power (Dominion) of God."

I remember telling someone that I am not just preaching the "Gospel of Salvation" but preaching the "Gospel of the Kingdom of God." And he asked me, what's the difference between the two? I don't remember answering him that question, but I made it clear the Lord Jesus Christ preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven, and He sent us to go into all the world and preach the gospel of the Kingdom. It is seek you first the Kingdom of God, not just seek you first Salvation, and all other things shall be added to you. There's difference between seeking the Kingdom and seeking Salvation. Salvation is in Word (Confession with your mouth the Lord Jesus), but the Kingdom of God is not in Word but in Power (1 Corinthians 4:20).

This was the "Theme of the Testimony" of Nebuchadnezzar:

[Daniel 4:3 AKJV] — "How great are His signs! and how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation."

Three things I show you from this:

1* First - That the Testimony is about the Kingdom of God

2* Secondly - That the Testimony is about the Power of God: Basically, the Kingdom of God is in Power. You really should not separate the Kingdom of God from the Power of God and from the Glory of God. Let those who speak of God's Kingdom talk of God's Power and Glory. Written:

[Psalms 145:11-13] – "They shall speak of the Glory of Your Kingdom, and talk of Your Power; To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His Kingdom. Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and Your Dominion endures throughout all generations."

Again, it is written,

[Matthew 6:13] — "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen."

3* Thirdly - That the Testifier of the Testimony was himself better witness of his message (testimony), not just because of his experience but because of his position or status as king of kings.

Who better understood kingdom, power or dominion, among men by then than Nebuchadnezzar the testifier, who was king of kings, had dominion over all men and animals of the earth in all nations, and was in power controlling all magicians, witches, wizards, occults, astrologers, and all forms of diabolical powers/group: infact he practically made golden image and declared it as gods to all nations boasting that no other gods or goddess or power could deliver any of its own worshipper from his hands. So for such a man who knew what having kingdom, power, dominion, signs and wonders, whether politically, religiously, esoterically, militarily, diabolically, scientifically, to testify and declare to all nations these things about the Signs, Wonders, Kingdom and Power (Dominion) of God, then you pay most attention to what he says than to what a powerless person is saying about the kingdom of God and the power of God. Remember, the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power, and so you should have some power to talk about the kingdom of God. As it is written,

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
[I Corinthians 4:19‭-‬20 NKJV]

Speaking of having some Power to speak better for the Kingdom of God, in the top Bible verse above, Nebuchadnezzar structured the demonstration or manifestation of the Power of God in four categories, while also rating the Power of God high in each category: Which of these categories Power do you have to demonstrate or promote the Kingdom of God?

*1* CATEGORY "A" - SIGNS (Power of God manifested in Signs). Rating: He rated God's Signs as Great or Incredible. There's no sign of God that is not great, even if that sign of God appears small or little. All the Signs of God are great and incredible the more you know them in higher degrees. For the signs of God communicate greater things.

*2* CATEGORY "B" - WONDERS (Power of God manifested in Wonders). Rating: He rated God's Wonders as Mighty or Amazing. There's nothing boring or boredom or common in the Wonders of God because they are marvelous and charming, and cannot be explained by any scientific knowledge or wisdom of men's mind in natural possibilities.

*3* CATEGORY "C" - KINGDOM (Power of God manifested in Kingdom). Rating: He rated God's Kingdom as Eternal Kingdom. He's the King who's Reign is without end and therefore, not a mere regime that has beginning or end. The Kingdom of God never begins, but comes. To say the Kingdom had beginning is to say the Power of God had beginning or His Glory began

*4* CATEGORY "" - DOMINION (Power of God manifested in Dominion or Government). Rating: He rated God's Dominion as from Generation to Generation.

The difference between God's Kingdom and God's Dominion (Government or Rules) is that the Kingdom of God came to earth at one time to take over, but the Dominion of God has always been on earth all the time and had never been absent from the earth, seas and heavens. So when God's Kingdom was not yet on earth, God still rules in the kingdoms of men through God's government or dominion, which was changing kings and setting up kings, exalting one and abasing/overthrowing the other. So the higher powers (governments) that be are the ordinances (dominion) of God who rules even inside the kingdoms (governments) of men, while the Kingdom of God or God as King is yet to come and takeover.

The Dominion God gave Adam and Eve, which they blew off, has been in the Hands of God from generations to generations, but within the kingdoms of men on earth. The Will of God associated with His Kingdom is what we pray His Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. But the Will of God associated with His Dominion (Ordinances, Laws, Principles, Prophecies etc.,) have always been the Will of God done on earth with or without praying for such will, and men cannot prevail in resisting His Will.
