16) Looking for Daniel
Daniel 2:18
Daniel asks his companions to pray God so Daniel can gegt the interpretation of the dream so Daniel and his companions and all the wise men of Babylon may be saved!
- That’s definitely interesting!
- Daniel is an able man!
- He is probably the best!
- He knows he has a good relationship with God!
- But he doesn’t prevent from asking the help of his companions by praying God!
- It is definitely exceptional!
- We can understand why he is called “precious man”!

- Once again, Daniel highlights God the Revealer of secrets!
- Then he is clear about himself!
- He has no greater wisdom than anyone living!

22) Looking for Daniel
Daniel 2
- So Daniel tells about the king’s dream and then its interpretation!
- Before telling the interpretation to the king, Daniel tells him that God gave him all what he has!
- And he enumerates all the things he has!
- We can say it is also a warning to the king!
- Because if God gave him all what he has, he can also take it!
- And he will take him everything!
- The king, because of his power, thinks nobody can take him what he has!
- The Israelites did the same!
- They did not listen to God!
- And he took everything he had given him!
- Are we going to do the same?
- Or will we listen to him?

23) Looking for Daniel
Daniel 2
- Then King Nebuchadnezzar tells Daniel: “Truly your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a Revealer of secrets, because you were able to reveal this secret.”
- Thus the king pays homage to Daniel!
- He acknowledges the power of God!
- But he won’t listen to his warning!
- He won’t change of attitude!
- And in due time he will pay the price for his pride!

Daniel 2
The king then elevates Daniel and gives him many fine gifts, and he makes him the ruler over all the province of Babylon and the chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. And at Daniel’s request, the king appoints Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the administration of the province of Babylon, but Daniel serves in the king’s court.
- Daniel is blessed as he serves God faithfully!
- And he is, not selfish because he asks the king for a position for his three companions!
- For him details are important!
- And he doesn’t neglect anything or anyone!
- Imagine a foreigner becoming one of the most important characters in Babylon!
- Of course, we Remember Joseph in Egypt!

1963 was a seminal year, not only because of the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, but advances in technology, entertainment and evolving political relationships also kept the world on its toes.

Daniel 3
Nebuchadnedzzar makes a statute and he wants everybody to worship it. If they don’t do it, they will be thrown into the burning fierce furnace. But Daniel’s three companions refuse to do it. So the king, in a furious rage, gives them a second chance. But they tell him that if their God wants to save them, he can do it. But if he doesn’t do it, they only worship God and no one else. Then the king becomes so furious that he gives orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual. And Daniel’s three companions are thrown into the burning fiery furnace. The furnace is so hot that the men who throw Daniel’s three companions into the furnace are killed. Then the king becomes afraid because he sees four men in the furnace, they are unharmed and the fourth one looks like a son of the gods. So he tells Daniel’s three companions to go out. They are unhurt. Then he praises their God. Then he promotes them in the province of Babylon.
- Like Daniel, his three companions are faithful men to God and thus excellent examples for us!
- We don’t know anything about Daniel!
- That’s strange because he is one of the most important men of Babylon!
- Nebuchadnezzar is brutal!
- But he can easily change of attitude when something happens!
- Here, Daniel’s three companions are saved by God!
- And he gives them a higher position!
- So they are also blessed because of their faithfulness!
- He doesn’t accept anyone’s disobedience but when somebody does it and survives, he can only recognize it!
- Thus he is pragmatic!

26) Looking for Daniel
Daniel 4
Nebuchadnezzar has another vision but nobody can give the interpretation. But Daniel is alarmed for a moment and his thoughts begin to frighten him. The vision is about the king who has become powerful. But because of his pride he will become like a beast eating grass. And after a time he will recover his mind and his power. So Daniel tells the king to change of attitude and turn away from sin. But he doesn’t change anything so twelve months later he becomes mad and starts to behave like an animal eating grass.
- Nebuchadnezzar is warned by God through visions but he doesn’t care so he pays the price!
- It is the same with humanity!
- And humanity doesn’t care!
- Thus people will have to pay the price when God strikes humanity!
- It will be a shock!
- But the majority never understands!
- It’s always the same!
- So why lamenting!
- When someone doesn’t listen and pays the price even with death, that’s life!
- There is no need to be sad!
- People are adults and thus they make a choice!
- And the way we live shows what we choose!
- Then we can’t say I didn’t know!

Actually the king had dream, which is different from a vision .
Daniel 4
| 4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: |
| 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. |
| 6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. |
What is the difference between dream and vision biblically?
A vision occurs when a person is awake and alert; a dream occurs when a person is asleep. Peter was awake for his vision of the unclean food (Acts 10:9-23). John was awake for his vision recorded in Revelation (Revelation 1:9-11).13 nov 2020
Can a dream be a vision?
The main difference between dreams and visions is that the person seeing vision is completely aware about their thoughts, but the dreams can be predictive and the person is not awake.
