DANIEL 4
13 “I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven. 14 He proclaimed aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches. 15 But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven. Let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. 16 Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven periods of time pass over him. 17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.’ 18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
– Daniel 4:13-18

DANIEL 4 VISIONS IN A DREAM
A poem by ILMA inspired by these verses
When a man dreams, he sees different images
They are often things he thinks about each passing day
They are mysteries that are hard to understand
These visions in your dream can represent what’s to come.

King Nebuchadnezzar clearly remembered his second dream and this time, unlike the first one, he tells what it was. It is interesting that he first called the others before he called Daniel. It displays the king’s dependence on those who are his people and those whom he is comfortable with. Eventually, he summoned Daniel after not getting any answers from these magicians and other unwise people, pretending to know things. We see that Nebuchadnezzar always reverts back to his foolish counsel even knowing they had no answers. His last resort was Daniel. Often when we dream, there are no logical events that are presented. They are mostly just images that are incomprehensible. In this dream, God was showing Nebuchadnezzar what is to happen to him if he continues with his pride.
