Nebuchadnezzar's
Dream
For
this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to
destroy all the wise men
of Babylon. Dan. 2:12
For
this cause... For the cause that the wise men were stalling
for time and could not manifest their claimed supernatural powers.
the
king... Seeing that he and his people were victims of deception,
determined to rid his kingdom of them all, including Daniel and his
companions (Dan. 2:12-13).
all
the wise...
All included Daniel and his three Jewish companions (Dan.
2:13).
In
a sense, the king was more honorable and just than the bragging
magicians, sorcerers, astrologers, and Chaldeans. They claimed powers
to reveal secrets and make known divine revelations, but in a crisis
they could not produce.
