Nebuchadnezzar's Dream
Daniel Interpreting The Dream. "There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets." Dan. 2:28.
1. What statement did Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, make to his wise men whom he had assembled?
“And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.” Dan. 2:3.
2. After being threatened with death if they did not make known the dream and the interpretation, what did the wise men say to the king?
“The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.” Verses 10, 11.
3. After the wise men had thus confessed their inability to do what the king required, who offered to interpret the dream?
