Nebuchadnezzar's Second Dream
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Dan. 4:18
This dream I... This vision was designed to be a part of God’s revelation of Himself and His authority over Nebuchadnezzar who in pride had exalted himself above God. The king again (cf. Dan. 4:9) asked Daniel to tell him the meaning of the dream. Nebuchadnezzar is confident that Daniel can interpret this dream accurately. He has seen that Daniel interpreted his other dream, when no one else could. He recognizes the fact that Daniel's power to interpret is from God.
