“11 And he said to them, "To you has
been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything
is in parables,” Mark 4:11
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 2; “Nebuchadnezzar's
dream. (1-13) It
is revealed to Daniel. (14-23) He
obtains admission to the king.(24-30) The
dream and the interpretation. (31-45) Honours
to Daniel and his friends. (46-49)
Verses
1-13 The greatest men are most open to cares and troubles of mind,
which disturb their repose in the night, while the sleep of the labouring man
is sweet and sound… Those who deceived, by pretending to do what they could
not do, were sentenced to death, for not being able to do what they did not
pretend to.
Verses
14-23 Daniel humbly prayed that God would discover to him the king's
dream, and the meaning of it… How much more should we be thankful to God, for
making known the great salvation of the soul to those who are not among the
worldly wise and prudent!
Verses
24-30 Daniel takes away the king's opinion of his magicians and
soothsayers… Let those whom God has
highly favoured and honoured, lay aside all opinion of their own wisdom and
worthiness, that the Lord alone may be praised for the good they have and do.
Verses
31-45 This image represented the kingdoms of the earth, that should
successively rule the nations, and influence the affairs of the Jewish
church. 1. The head of gold signified the Chaldean empire, then in being. 2.
The breast and arms of silver signified the empire of the Medes and Persians.
3. The belly and thighs of brass signified the Grecian empire, founded by
Alexander. 4. The legs and feet of iron signified the Roman empire… As far as
events have gone, the fulfilling this prophetic vision has been most exact
and undeniable; future ages shall witness this Stone destroying the image,
and filling the whole earth.
Verses
46-49 It is our business to direct attention to the Lord, as the
Author and Giver of every good gift. Many have thoughts of the Divine power
and majesty, who do not think of serving God themselves. But all should
strive, that God may be glorified, and the best interests of mankind
furthered.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
King
Nebuchadnezzar was influenced (see
Daniel 2:46-49) to promote Daniel and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
over the affairs of the province of Babylon; “48
Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him
ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise
men of Babylon. 49 Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon.
But Daniel remained at the king's court.” Daniel 2:48-49 English Standard
Version (ESV). Once again I stress (see Psalm
75:5-7) all promotions come
from God. “4 even to your old age I
am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I
will carry and will save. ” Isaiah 46:4 ESV. Hold onto the Word of God (see 2
Corinthians 11:4) study so you won’t be
fooled by false doctrine. We are saved by our faith in Jesus (see
Romans
4:16) and not by works.
Is Jesus calling you? Do you want to answer God’s call? Do you want to find true happiness, peace
and purpose in your life? If the
