Read the passage Daniel 2
1) It is amazing that God would share His secrets with His servant; it is even more amazing that He would share His secret with a lost king.
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
2) Only God may predict the future in the present time.
3) God’s wisdom and foreknowledge is unique to Him alone, a wise servant is loyal to God.
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 mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
4) God’s knowledge forms a base of understanding for times to come in the time of God’s choosing.
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
5) Jesus is King of Kings and the Lord of glory; He alone is the wisdom of time and the predictor of human events and the one to whom all men be they great or small must bow and give account to for their sin; images of men pass away, the true God lives forever.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
6) There is coming upon the earth a time of judgment for sin; Jesus is that judge who will crush all false leaders and those who follow them; only those who trust in Jesus for salvation will be spared.
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 threshing floors; 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.
7) God speaks beyond one’s life, beyond earthly kings; beyond time, clearly manifesting the sovereignty of His rule throughout human history; God is greater than man’s history.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
