“While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.”
A voice from heaven announces that the kingdom is taken from Nebuchadnezzar and he will be driven away from people until he acknowledges God's sovereignty—executing the judgment threatened in the dream. The heavenly voice represents God's direct address and irrevocable decree. The removal of power and status becomes the means of humiliation and reformation.
