DANIEL THE MAN – LESSON 7
NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S DREAM INTERPRETATION
Yesterday we dealt with Nebuchadnezzar’s hidden dream and Daniel’s God-given description and the King’s response to Daniel. Today we continue in Daniel chapter two to look at the dream itself.
The dream was of a very large and bright image like a man. The head was fine gold. His breast and arms were made of silver. His belly and thighs were brass. His legs (calves) were of iron. His feet were part iron and part clay.
Then a stone “that was cut without hands” (vs. 34) smote the iron and clay feet of the image breaking them into pieces. It broke up the entire image and all of its parts. The many pieces of the shattered image were blown away like chaff in the wind. The stone grew into a very large mountain that covered the whole earth.
The dream was exactly how Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed. Now Daniel would interpret its meaning as given to him by God.
The head of gold was Nebuchadnezzar and his vast Babylonian empire. It was told to him in vs. 30, “The God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.” The subtle message was that it was a gift from God, not of the King’s own might.
After Babylon, the head of gold, comes an empire represented by the breast and arms of silver. We shall see in chapter seven that this represented the Medo-Persian Empire that succeeded the Babylonian Empire.
The belly and thighs of brass represented the third empire of Greece which ruled all the known world and paved the way in language and culture for the advent of Christ.
The fourth empire was Rome as they built a vast system of highways that would allow for the evangelization of the world by Christian missionaries following the rise of Christ’s church. That Roman empire of legs of iron will be broken at its feet as iron and clay do not mix well.
We will learn more about that in a much later vision given to Daniel in chapter seven at a much older age that expanded on Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
Tomorrow we will see a test of faith and how God honors such faith as we study chapter three.

THE I AM – NOT THE I WILL BE – OR THE I WAS
When Moses was called by God to go to Egypt, He asked God what his name was. In Genesis 3:14 it says, “and God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” The Jewish people honor that name so highly they never speak it out completely. It is translated from the Hebrew word YHWH or Yahweh, which in English is Jehovah.
Jehovah occurs over 6,000 times in the Old Testament. It suggests the timelessness of God, the very foundation of existence. In John 8:58 Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I AM”, indicating that He was and is God in the flesh. Jehovah is a plural word, which entails Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is no time with God. In Revelation 1:4 it says,” from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come” alluding to Jesus being timeless.
God works in the present time. Yes, he was in history, but He is not called the “I was.” Yes, he is spoken of in the future, but He is not called “the I will be.” We must see Him as a very present God. Since with God there is no time, then we have to conform to His “timing,” knowing that in His time things will come together.
Don’t look back at “what was” my friends. It is over, whether it was your great successes or your failures. They are gone, and you can’t bring them back.
Don’t spend time daydreaming about THE “what will be”, because we cannot do anything about tomorrow. We live in this day with the I AM. He supplies our daily needs. He is our ever “present” help in times of trouble.
Unfortunately, many live on yesterday’s stale bread and tomorrow’s bread that hasn’t risen instead of enjoying the fresh manna that God brings each day. We find that bread as we read God’s Word. It brings nourishment to our soul and sustains us through each day.
It says in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.” He has never been anything other than He is and will never be any different. We can trust that the one that made the universe can hold it together. He has a plan and will unfold it one day at a time. So, rest in that fact and walk by faith each day knowing that the I AM is with you!

Although this was given over 5 years ago, I believe it is a word for this present time. Read and consider
A prophetic word
As given to Helen Sanders
December 18, 2015
A storm is brewing, a storm is brewing. It is at your door and you have not seen the signs. Yes, the sky would be red as a warning to a sailor, and he takes heed to be prepared for the storm, but you have seen the signs, and you have heard the words that a storm is coming and you would not pay attention. You think things are okay and that all is well, but I would say that a storm is coming and is here saith the Lord. Have I not declared that it would be coming, and to prepare? You have looked to the wind and not observed it. It is so plain my children that the storm is here, yet you have not prepared. Remember in the days of Noah, how I told him to prepare for what lay ahead, and he was an obedient servant. He prepared and shared, yet the people would not listen. I would say to you today that you are living in the days of Noah, and the storm will surely come, and many will be caught by surprise, yet it is not a surprise. I have given the warning out, and you have not listened. The ark was built, and the people mocked, so even today the ark of my safety is with you and many have mocked, thinking that all is well, yet many I would say many have not taken heed. They have been warned. It is here saith the Lord. The storm is here. You may not see it with the natural eye, but it is already in the Heavenlies, and it is here!!! I would say to you this day, draw closer to me than ever before. Seek my face in the early hours when all is quiet. Get alone with me, and I will reveal to you the plan for your safety. Do not be caught up in distractions that shall surely pull you into the storm. Rest in me, and know that as you do that I will be the one that guides and directs you. Do not look to others for a word. They will deceive you. Look to me, and I will speak to you. Have I not spoken this hour that the storm is coming and is here? Take heed while there is a wee bit more time, and prepare like you have never prepared before. Let go of all distractions and focus on me saith the Lord, for I will bring you through the storm, but you must, I say again must come to me and embrace me with all that is in you. Do not let anything keep you from this time with me saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
3-17-2021
Perhaps you needing to know that no matter how things may look in your life right now... God is still God. He was, He is and He forever shall be your on time, loving, covenant keeping God; And He will never fail you, grieve you, deceive you or leave you. Just because you’ve experienced some hurts and a set back due to an unfortunate circumstance doesn’t mean that you’re done with and that God is through with you. Absolutely not. So pick yourself up and get going again. It’s time for you to release, forgive, forget and move on. You can trust God...He’s right there beside you loving you, leading you and guiding you through it all. Remember, the only time you’re to ever look back...Is to be thankful for how far you’ve come. After all you’ve come too far to look back now at what used to be. Just quit thinking about the way things could’ve been or should’ve been. You need to forget it and thank God for what He’s brought you through and where He’s taking you to.
