As I study chapter 2 of the book of Daniel. I find that he was an intelligent young Jew living in Jerusalem during
the late 600s B.C and was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar. During this time in history the Most Holy God
of Israel, to whom Daniel remained faithful too, gave Daniel the ability to interpret dreams and also
presented Daniel with several visions...and their meanings." As I continue to
study Daniel. I see, these dreams and visions were prophecies of great empires
that would exist from that time forward until the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth! It was soon after Daniel entered into
the bureaucracy of King Nebuchadnezzar, the king had a puzzling dreams that
awakened him from his sleep (Daniel 2:1). At least one of them was so
disturbing that the king called for his advisers to tell him his dream and to
interpret it. If they didn’t do so, the king told them that they would be
killed (verses 2-5).The king’s wise men—his magicians, astrologers and
sorcerers—simply had no idea of the dream or its meaning. They told the King,
“It is a difficult thing that the King requests, and there is no other who can
tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh” (verse
11). In anger, the King gave the command to begin killing his wise
men—including Daniel and his three friends, known by the Babylonian names
Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. Daniel soon learned of the King’s order to
kill his confidants, Daniel seeks an opportunity to tell the King his dream and
its interpretation. Daniel’s request was allowed; and before meeting with the King, Daniel
got together with his friends and they prayed, “Dear God in heaven, please help
us. Tell us the King’s dream and what it means.” And God did just that. That
night Daniel had a vision, and in it God told him the king’s dream and what it
meant. Daniel's
first act was to thank God for the revelation given him. "Blessed be the
name of God forever and ever," he exclaimed; "for wisdom and might
are His: and He changeth the times and the reasons: He removeth Kings, and
setteth up Kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that
know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is
in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him. I thank Thee, and praise
Thee, O Thou God of my Fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast
made known unto me now what we desired of Thee: for Thou hast now made known
unto us the King's matters. Appearing before King
Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel told the king that there is a God in heaven who reveals
secrets, and that He had revealed to Daniel not only the dream, but its
interpretation (verse 28). Daniel then explained that the king had seen an
awesome image standing before him. This massive image had a head of fine gold,
chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron, and feet
and toes partly of iron and partly of clay (verses 31-33). Then a great stone
of supernatural origin—one “cut out without hands” (verse 34)—struck the image
on its feet of iron and clay, whereupon the image was broken in pieces and
blown away like chaff! The stone became a huge mountain that “filled the whole
earth” (verse 35).What did this mean? The Bible interprets itself; and here
God, through Daniel, gave the explanation. Daniel told King Nebuchadnezzar that
the image represented four great kingdoms that would arise in succession to
dominate the world. He told the King: “You are this head of gold”—meaning that
the Babylonian Empire was the first of these four great empires (verse 38).“But
after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third
kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom
shall be strong as iron … [and] will break in pieces and crush all the others”
(verses 39-40). The last kingdom will “be divided” (verse 41), which is
represented by the two legs. This empire, which was predicted to be “strong as
iron,” would conquer all before it. Eventually, this empire is predicted to be represented
by ten concurrent kingdoms (the ten toes), which will endure only for a short
time (iron and clay do not form a strong bond). At that time Christ will return
to crush this empire, along with all other nations that fight against Him, and
set up the Kingdom of God which shall never be destroyed (Zechariah 14:2-3; Revelation 11:15). The image
Nebuchadnezzar saw represented the four great world-ruling empires leading to
the time of Jesus Christ's second coming. The stone that crushed the image into
little pieces is the future Kingdom of God, over which Jesus Christ will be the
King (Revelation 11:15;17:14). It is very interesting to note that Jesus
referred to “Himself” as a stone that had been “rejected” by men, becoming “the
chief cornerstone” (Matthew 21:42). In the context of the Kingdom of God (verse
43), Jesus added: “And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on
whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder” (verse 44). ( As I further study
on this point, I compared Mark
12:10; Luke 20:17; and Acts 4:10-11). After Daniel revealed
the dream and its meaning to King Nebuchadnezzar, the King fell down before
Daniel and appointed him as chief Administrator over all the wise men of
Babylon.
My point in this
story is that you have to go through something to get somewhere…it is a lot
going on in this world today. The devil is out to kill steal and destroy the
children of God. And it is time for God’s children to start flipping the script
on the damn devil. By putting on that blood stain banner of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. Bow down to Our God of much power and refuse any other fake Gods
that mean nothing. Live the way God wants us to ”He” is a God beyond question;
the God of all Gods and the master of all Kings. “He” is a Master that solves
all mysteries. I know this because you solved King Nebuchadnezzar dream using
Daniel as the interpreter.
I realize that our Father from Heaven uses dreams to communicate with his
children one in particular is the fall
of Babylon, I like it how God provided
and granted Daniel an overview of worldwide events in millennia in which
is yet to come again. So I ask myself this question… Why worship a fake God
that have no eyes to see, a heart that cannot love, hands that cannot hold me and
feet that cannot walk with me? My Heavenly Father –can do all the above and
more. Our true Master from Heaven has a great degree of love for all that will
submit to his will and his way. (God) hath appointed a day, in which he will judge
the world in righteousness…” Acts 17:31 as I read I find that this world and
its thinking is to be destroyed and in its place a wonderful time of peace will
be ushered in and God’s Kingdom will be
established. (God) has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in
righteousness… however the message of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is not
one of doom or gloom but one of hope. The Bible holds within its pages an
invitation to be part of this future Kingdom. Not to be destroyed with the
thinking of men but to be involved in God’s plan and purpose. As I read in
Mark: Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16. In conclusion I find that world history was prophesied
before it happened accuracy of the bible historical and prophetical and both
prove the divine authorship of the good book called the bible. My Heavenly host
will set up a Kingdom in our time and consume the kingdoms of men and it will
be ruled by “His” Son Jesus. All this proves is that the hope of a true Christian is for
Jesus to return to the literal earth and to establish God’s literal Kingdom
upon the territories of the kingdoms of men. The main message here is that: We as believers will be part of this “KINGDOM”
Now That’s a God Beyond Question. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!! I
praise God in Heaven, because he is wonderful and wise! “He” has power over everything.
“He sets the time of the seasons for a reason. He sends the rain in the spring
time, the very hot sun of summer, the cold air in fall, and the white snow in
the winter. “He puts Kings on their thrones. Their power comes from “Him”,…and
he can take it away whenever he wants “He knows all things It is God who makes
us wise. Even the darkest secrets aren’t hidden from “Him because “He” is
light. I praise you, the God of my family. You Have made me strong and wise,
answering all my prayers. I love you Lord
