THE GREAT GLOBAL DREAM

Daniel Prophecy
Seminar
Soon after Daniel's appointment to
the royal staff, strife broke out in
the palace. Nebuchadnezzar had a
dream which seemed to contain evil
omens. He called anxiously for his
magicians, astrologers, sorcerers,
and Chaldeans (scholar-priests) to
explain the dream to him. "Tell
your servants the dream and we
will show the interpretation,"
replied the wise men.
DANIEL'S FIRST PROPHECY

But the king had either
forgotten his dream or wanted
to test these "prophets". "Tell
me what I saw in the dream
and give me the meaning," he
demanded. The astrologers
were stunned. "Impossible!"
"Unreasonable!" they
protested. "Let the king tell
his servants the dream, and we
will give its interpretation."

Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that he had no more wisdom
within him to reveal the future than any other person living.
Every part of the dream and the interpretation were
revealed by God.
Prophecy is of no private interpretation. We must go to
the Bible for both the prophecy and the keys to its interpretation.
Not only Daniel, but practically all
the Bible prophets tell us that God's
kingdom will come. This is one of
the great certainties of the future.
