Yes, Ellen G. White has elaborated in her books about the account of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter 4. Here are some key points from her writings:
- In Prophets and Kings, Chapter 42, she specifically addresses Daniel 4, discussing Nebuchadnezzar's exaltation, his pride, and the lesson he learned about the sovereignty of God:
"Exalted to the pinnacle of worldly honor, and acknowledged even by Inspiration as 'a king of kings' (Ezekiel 26:7), Nebuchadnezzar nevertheless at times had ascribed to the favor of Jehovah the glory of his kingdom and the splendor of his reign. Such had been the case after his dream of the great image. His mind had been profoundly influenced by this vision and by the thought that the Babylonian Empire, universal though it was, was finally to fall, and other kingdoms were to bear sway, until at last all earthly powers were to be superseded by a kingdom set up by the God of heaven, which kingdom was never to be destroyed." (Prophets and Kings, p. 514)
- She also describes the vision of the tree in Daniel 4 and its meaning for Nebuchadnezzar:
"Study Nebuchadnezzar's dream as recorded in the fourth chapter of Daniel. The king saw a lofty tree planted in the earth. Flocks and herds from the mountains and hills enjoyed its shelter, and the birds of the air built their nests in its branches. Thus were represented Nebuchadnezzar's greatness and prosperity. Nations were gathered under his sovereignty. His kingdom was firmly established in the hearts of his loyal subjects." (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, p. 126.3)
- Ellen White recounts the moment of Nebuchadnezzar's judgment:
"While the proud boast was yet on the king's lips, a voice from heaven announced that God's appointed time of judgment had come. Upon his ears fell the mandate of Jehovah: 'O King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will.'" (Prophets and Kings, p. 519.4)
These references show that Ellen G. White has indeed elaborated on the account of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter 4, drawing spiritual lessons from his experience with pride, judgment, and eventual acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.
