Daniel 4:1-18 / Keywords 4:17

 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR’s SECOND DREAM

" 'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.'

 

1. I had a dream (1-8)

Nebuchadnezzar had seen such signs and wonders through Daniel and his

friends that he proclaimed them to all peoples and nations. He was contented and

prosperous, but this still did not ease his mind. He had a dream that terrified him,

and when none of his other wise men could interpret it for him, he finally called for

Daniel.

 

2. Tell me what it means (9-18)

The king dreamed of a beautiful tree whose top touched the sky, one that could

be seen from the ends of the earth and provided food and shelter for every

creature. Then the tree was cut down. The messenger announced that someone

would be drenched with dew and live like an animal for 7 years--until all people

"know that God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men." In this strange way, God

showed that he is working in all things to reveal his sovereign glory to all the living.

 

Prayer Lord, you are the Most High God. Use me to reveal your sovereignty in all

the world.

One Word So that the living may know
