How great are His signs
The phrase "How great are His signs" emphasizes the magnitude and awe-inspiring nature of God's miraculous works. The Hebrew word for "signs" is "אוֹת" (oth), which often refers to a mark or a miraculous event that points to divine intervention. In the context of Daniel, these signs are not just mere occurrences but are profound demonstrations of God's power and authority over earthly kingdoms. Historically, signs served as divine communication, affirming God's sovereignty and His active role in the affairs of men. This phrase invites believers to reflect on the greatness of God's works throughout history, encouraging a posture of reverence and worship.

how mighty His wonders!
The word "wonders" in Hebrew is "פֶּלֶא" (pele), which denotes extraordinary events that inspire amazement. These wonders are acts that transcend human understanding and capability, showcasing God's omnipotence. In the biblical narrative, wonders often accompany signs, serving as a testament to God's intervention and His ability to alter the natural order. The use of "mighty" underscores the strength and power inherent in these divine acts. For the believer, this phrase is a reminder of God's unparalleled power and His ability to work beyond human limitations, instilling faith and trust in His divine plan.

His kingdom is an eternal kingdom
The concept of God's "eternal kingdom" is central to the biblical narrative, highlighting the everlasting nature of God's reign. The Hebrew word for "kingdom" is "מַלְכוּת" (malkuth), which signifies not just a realm but the authority and rule of a king. The term "eternal" (עוֹלָם, olam) conveys perpetuity, a kingdom without end. This stands in contrast to earthly kingdoms, which rise and fall. Historically, this declaration would have been particularly poignant in the context of Babylon, a powerful empire that seemed invincible yet was temporal. For Christians, this phrase reassures them of the unchanging and everlasting nature of God's rule, offering hope and stability in a transient world.

and His dominion endures from generation to generation
"Dominion" in Hebrew is "שָׁלְטָן" (shalṭan), referring to sovereign power and control. The phrase "endures from generation to generation" emphasizes the continuity and unbroken nature of God's rule across all ages. This reflects the biblical theme of God's faithfulness and His unchanging nature throughout history. In the ancient Near Eastern context, where dynasties often changed with the rise and fall of kings, this statement affirms the constancy of God's authority. For believers, it is a powerful reminder that God's sovereignty transcends time and human history, providing assurance that His purposes will prevail through every era and circumstance.
