Daniel 2 - Day 846 (link to reading)

Scripture: Daniel 2

Commentary (trueriches.com): In the second chapter of the book of Daniel, we are transported to the second year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. The chapter centers around Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling, yet prophetic, dream. When none of the king’s magicians and seers are able to reveal the dream and its meaning, young Daniel steps forward endued with God’s wisdom. Daniel’s interpretation of the king’s dream foretells the unfolding of future world empires, including the final world empire. This richly prophetic dream also reveals the destruction of all of these world empires by the coming Kingdom of God. This is a vital prophetic chapter in the study of eschatology. The chapter concludes with the decision of King Nebuchadnezzar to promote Daniel, and his three friends, over the entire province of Babylon.

Application: God reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to Daniel and gives him the interpretation. When Daniel tells the King the meaning, he gives all the credit to God. When we humble ourselves, God can use us.

Prayer: Lord, You alone I long to worship...
