Nebuchadnezzar was admiring his kingdom. He was admiring his palace and was patting himself on the back for all his accomplishments. Unfortunately, he did not understand that it was not his genius that allowed him to enjoy the magnificence of his kingdom. His genius did not build the kingdom. God was behind his greatness. Unfortunately for Nebuchadnezzar, his pride brought him down. Later, he lost his kingdom and was reduced to living like an animal for several years, until his reasoning came back, and God reestablished his kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar concluded that God is the one that established his kingdom, and it was God who reestablished it. God is the One who brings promotion and exaltation, pride is what causes the fall.
