Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 2:21

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons : he removeth kings and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

God made Time, God made the Sun, Moon and Stars, the measure of Time, he made the Day and the Night, and Seasons of the Year, yea the revolutions and change of Times; he can make bad times better, and turn night into day. He can make the Sun go backward or stand still, as in Ahaz and Ioshua's time, it is the great part of Gods Power and Prerogative to change times. Daniel here attributes that to God which heathens attributed to nature, which they deified, or to chance; seeing that God only that made all by his power, doth rule, and sometimes overrule all by his Providence.
