changeth . . . times . . . seasons--"He herein gives a general preparatory intimation, that the dream of Nebuchadnezzar is concerning the changes and successions of kingdoms" [JEROME]. The "times" are the phases and periods of duration of empires (compare Daniel 7:25; 1 Chronicles 12:32; 1 Chronicles 29:30); the "seasons" the fitting times for their culmination, decline, and fall (Ecclesiastes 3:1; Acts 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:1). The vicissitudes of states, with their times and seasons, are not regulated by chance or fate, as the heathen thought, but by God.
removed kings-- (Job 12:18; Psalms 75:6-7; Jeremiah 27:5; compare 1 Samuel 2:7-8).
giveth wisdom-- (1 Kings 3:9-12; James 1:5).
