Wednesday, October 1, 2025 Daniel 2:46-3:1 “The King’s Response & Yet Another Crisis”

The dream Daniel explained to the King was a prophetic dream that underscored the fact that God is the “Lord of History”. The King accepts the interpretation and elevates Daniel into the dual position of #2 in political authority in the empire and the position of #1 in advisory authority as the head of the Magi order. God used the crisis to move Daniel into these roles. And the King accepted Daniel’s request to put his three Jewish friend into chief administrative positions in the empire. But these wonderful results seem pointless as chapter 3 opens with yet another crisis.
