Nebuchadnezzar's
Dream
Then
the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and
the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So
they came and stood before the king. Dan. 2:2
Then
the king... The subjects of the land are at the beck and call of the
king. When the king called them, they came. These astrologers were
thought of as the wise men of the day. The job of these astrologers,
magicians, and sorcerers was to advise the king on things of a
spiritual nature. They told of future events, as well as giving
advice. They do have some power, but it is limited. Their source is
the devil.
and
the Chaldeans... Chaldeans could refer to all people native to
Chaldea,
or as here, to a special class of soothsayers who taught Chaldean
culture.
For
to show... Read,
with me, what all believers are to do about things pertaining to
this, in the following verse.
Acts
19:19 "Many of them also which used curious arts brought their
books together, and burned them before all [men]: and they counted
the price of them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver."
God
will not share your love. You must be loyal to God and not earthly
astrologers, magicians, and sorcerers.
