Daniel & Revelation

Summary & Reflection on Daniel 7

In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, is
troubled by a dream. He summons his magicians and astrologers to
interpret it, but demands that they first tell him what the dream was.
They protest that no man can do such a thing, and Nebuchadnezzar
orders that they all be executed. This decree also falls on Daniel, but he,
through the agency of his God, is able to tell the king the dream. It was a
dream of a great statue with a head of gold, arms and chest of silver,
belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron, and feet of mingled iron and
clay. A great stone, not cut by human hands, fell on the feet of the statue
and destroyed it, and the rock became a mountain that filled the whole
world. Having related the dream, Daniel then interprets it: it concerns
four successive kingdoms, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar, which will
be replaced by the everlasting kingdom of the God of heaven. Hearing
this, Nebuchadnezzar affirms that Daniel's god is "the God of gods and
Lord of kings and revealer of mysteries". He lavishes gifts on Daniel and
makes him chief of all the wise men and ruler over the province of
Babylon.
We can see in this chapter that Daniel never feared about the execution when you
can’t interpret the dream but rather he was confident and still gave the
interpretation we should never fear for the Lord is with us always.
