Episode 4 Crazy Dream

The Mountain Audio

Our verse: Daniel 2:28 “...there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future.”
Welcome back to the Daniel adventures! Here's what happened with the king's crazy dream...
When we left our 4 young men in Babylon, they were scheduled for execution! As part of the king's counselors, they were sentenced to death for not knowing (and interpreting) the king's scary dream. Only one man didn't freak out and prepare to die, our friend Daniel. As the executioner arrived, Daniel asked, “Why has the king issued such a harsh decree?” Give me some time to pray and maybe God will reveal the dream. Arioch, the one with the big axe, helped Daniel get an audience with the king.
Daniel was allowed time by King Nebb and during the night, “the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision.”
Here's the king's question, “Is this true Daniel? Can you tell me my dream and what it means?”
Daniel used this moment well. While he could have taken credit, Daniel made it very clear about how he knew. “...there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets” He gave God full credit for revealing the dream.
A couple take-aways for us:
Wise words well thought out can help you avoid terrible consequences. Daniel kept calm and reasoned with both the executioner and the king. “Give me time” he asked.
He asked his friends to pray for the answer to this life and death situation. God heard their prayers!
Daniel trusted God to reveal something totally unknown to any man...and He did!
Daniel entered the king's presence with full knowledge of the earth-shaking dream. He would explain the king's future and the future of mankind.
We will learn much more about Nebb's world history dream in a future episode!
