Only Nevuchadnetzar Recognizes the Extent of Hashem’s Greatness
TABC Talmid Gavi Kigner argues that, ironically, Nevuchadnetzar is in a unique position to recognize the depth of Hashem’s dominion. Gavi compares this situation to the Netziv’s understanding of Tehillim 117 where we call upon all nations to praise Hashem.

"Praise the Lord all the nations! Extol Him all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us and the faithful of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!" (Psalm 117) Why should the nations praise God because "God's steadfast love is toward us?" What good is there for the other peoples in God's faithful - this does not seem to be connected to the first part of the passage. Rather the answer is that all the nations and people praise God that God showed us steadfast love by fulfilling His promise to give us the Torah. In B. Talmud Avodah Zarah 3a we learn that God made a promise with the works of creation: if Israel accepted the Torah things would be fine, but if not everything would revert back to a state of chaos, as it was before creation.⁹³As mentioned above - AZ 3a "What is conveyed by the phrase: "And there was evening and there was morning the sixth day?" It teaches us that God made a condition with the works of creation, saying: ‘If Israel accept my Law it will be well, but if not, I shall reduce you to a state of chaos’"" The nations will praise God because they realize that they exist by virtue of Israel's acceptance of the Torah.
