Imagine this...there is a nation that believes that they are the greatest to ever live. The leaders believe that they rule the world because of their dominance and ability to take over anyone. Soon, the people turn inward with pride and turn away from God. Sounds a bit close to home, doesn't it? In Daniel 4, we see the same problem unfolding for Babylon. However, the king is given a dream and a warning from God: keep going this way, and you will be taken off your throne. Repent, and ruin will not come. This passage written thousands of years ago gives us a perspective today...God is sovereign over everyone and only His kingdom will rule forever.
