Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that troubled him greatly, but he could not remember the dream. He called on his magicians and wise men to interpret the dream for him, but they could not without knowing the dream. Daniel was able to pray and receive revelation from God about the dream. He interpreted that the dream depicted four successive world empires represented by parts of a statue, and that a stone cut without hands would destroy them and establish God's eternal kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar was greatly impressed by Daniel's ability to interpret the dream and elevated his status.

Conclusion:
Many believe America is the greatest nation ever blessed by God, but few believe she ought to be mentioned in the Bible. The following argument should cause skeptics to believe otherwise, in that America has blessed Israel more than any nation in history. America is the mighty nation which won the two world wars that enabled the Jews to go back home, and then afterward stood as their only friend. Since every nation that affected ancient Israel had been mentioned in the Bible, and since God does not change in his ways, why would he not mention America in the end time prophecies of Daniel and Revelation? In truth, America ought to be shining in the Bible as brightly as a full moon rising on a cloudless night . . . and she does.
What temptations do you think Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego faced when they were brought before the king (13–15)? What impresses you most about their response to these temptations (16–18)? How could you follow their example if you were found to have terminal cancer? How could their example help if you faced the possibility of losing your job or receiving a poor grade because of your refusal to compromise God's Word?
Some Christians claim that pain or sickness or trial are always the result of sin or lack of faith. How would you respond to that claim in light of this passage? As you look at Nebuchadnezzar's response (13–15, 19–23), what evidence do you see that his basic conflict was with God rather than with these three men?

Daniel was a teenager among the Jewish exiles in Babylon. He became the most senior administrator of the empire under three unpredictable kings. Four commitments were the foundation of his life: commitment to God, Commitment to reading the Scriptures, Commitment to prayer and commitment to professional excellence. Through visions and angelic messengers God gave Daniel six detailed visions of the future covering the period 200BC until the return of Christ.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

By: Anar R Guliyev
2. 1
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, by which his spirit was
troubled, and his sleep broke from him. 2
Then the king
commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and
the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his
dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3
And the
king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit
was troubled to know the dream. 4
Then the Chaldeans
spoke to the king in Syrian, O king, live for ever: tell thy
servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:1-13
3. 5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing
is gone from me: if ye will not make known to me the
dream, with the interpretation of it, ye shall be cut in pieces,
and your houses shall be made a refuse heap. 6
But if ye
shall show the dream, and the interpretation of it, ye shall
receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore
show me the dream, and the interpretation of it. 7
They
answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the
dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:1-13
4. 8
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye
would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from
me. 9
But if ye will not make known to me the dream, there
is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and
corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed:
therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can
show me the interpretation of it.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:1-13
5. 10
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said,
There is not a man upon the earth that can reveal the king's
matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that hath
asked such things of any magician, or astrologer, or
Chaldean. 11
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth,
and there is no other that can reveal it before the king,
except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 12
For this
cause the king was angry and very furious, and
commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 13
And
the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain;
and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:1-13
8. 14
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch
the captain of the king's guard, who had gone forth to slay
the wise men of Babylon: 15
He answered and said to
Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from
the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he
would give him time, and that he would show the king the
interpretation. 17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made
the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions: 18
That they would desire mercies of the God
of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his
companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men
of Babylon.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:14-30
9. 19
Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision.
Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20
Daniel
answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever
and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21
And he changeth
the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth
up kings: he giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to
them that know understanding: 22
He revealeth the deep
and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and
the light dwelleth with him. 23
I thank thee, and praise thee,
O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and
might, and hast made known to me now what we desired of
thee: for thou hast now made known to us the king's matter.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:14-30
10. 24
Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had
ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and
said thus to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon:
bring me in before the king, and I will reveal to the king the
interpretation. 25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the
king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of
the captives of Judah, that will make known to the king the
interpretation. 26
The king answered and said to Daniel,
whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make
known to me the dream which I have seen, and the
interpretation of it?
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:14-30
11. 27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said,
The secret which the king hath demanded the wise men ,
the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, cannot
reveal to the king; 28
But there is a God in heaven that
revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king
Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy
dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon
thy bed, what should come to pass after this: and he that
revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to
pass. 30
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for
any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their
sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king,
and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dan 2:14-30
12. Parallel with Joseph
Gen 41
15
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream,
and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard it
said of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to
interpret it. 16
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is
not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
...
25
And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is
one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
13. Dan 2:31-35
31
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This
great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before
thee; and its form was terrible. 32
The head of this image
was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly
and his thighs of brass, 33
His legs of iron, his feet part of
iron and part of clay. 34
Thou sawest till a stone was cut out
without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that
were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. 35
Then
was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the
summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away,
that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote
the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth.
RevelationNJ.org - BibleStudyNJ.org
Dream of Nebuchadnezzar
14. Dan:36-39
36
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation of it
before the king. 37
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the
God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and
strength, and glory. 38
And wherever the children of men
dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven
hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over
them all. Thou art this head of gold. 39
And after thee shall
arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third
kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

3 Kingdoms
18. End of Semitic dominance
Gen 9:26-27
26
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and
Canaan shall be his servant.
27
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
20. Next kingdom inferior (in its
beginning), but stronger
Then succeeded the corps, whom the Persians name the
Immortals, amounting to ten thousand... the chains hanging
from their necks ... were of gold; and their sleeved jackets
glittered with jewels.
...
Whoever surveyed the army of Alexander, in the order of
march, found a different spectacle; neither the men nor the
horses glittered with gold or painted trappings, but with iron
and brass. His troops were always prepared either to halt
or to advance; not a crowd en-cumbered with baggage, but
a body attentive to the general's signal, and obedient even
to his nod.
(Quintus Curtius Rufus, History of Alexander the Great)
21. Dan 2:40
40
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch
as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things : and as
iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and
bruise.

Rev 17:8
8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and
go into perdition: and they that dwell on the
earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and yet is.
26. Dan 2:41-43
41
And though thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters '
clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but
there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as
thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay. 42
And as the
toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the
kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43
And
though thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not
join one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Divided kingdoms
29. In parallel with 10 horns
Dan 7:23-24
23
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread
it down, and break it in pieces. 24
And the ten horns out of
this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another
shall rise after them; and he shall be different from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings.
30. In parallel with 10 horns
Rev 13
1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name
of blasphemy.
Rev 17
3
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of
names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
31. Whence, when and what broken
Dan 2:34-35
34
Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and
clay, and broke them to pieces. 35
Then was the iron, the
clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to
pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer
threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no
place was found for them: and the stone that smote the
image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth.
32. Dan 2:44-45
44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven
set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the
kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand for ever. 45
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone
was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke
in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the
gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall
come to pass after this: and the dream is certain, and the
interpretation of it sure.

33. What is the stone?
Psalms 18:2: The LORD is my rock...
rock - selah stone - eben
I Peter 2:5: Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
● It is NOT from heaven
● It is “cut out” (prepared) by God
● It starts small and grows to fill the whole Earth
Psalms 37:29: The righteous shall inherit the land, and
dwell therein for ever
34. Dan 2:46-49
46
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and
worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer
an oblation and sweet odours to him. 47
The king answered
to Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is , that your God is the
God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of
secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. 48
Then the
king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great
gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of
Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men
of Babylon. 49
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he
set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of
the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the
king.
