Daniel 2:29 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:29

As for thee, O king
So far as thou hast any concern in this matter, or with respect to thee, the following was thy case; these the circumstances and situation in which thou wert: thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, which should come to pass
hereafter;
as he lay on his bed, either sleeping or waking, very probably the latter, his thoughts were employed about this great monarchy he had erected, and what would be the issue of it; and was very desirous of knowing what successors he should have in it, and how long it would continue, and what would be the fate of it; when he fell asleep upon this, and had a dream agreeable to his waking thoughts: and he that revealeth secrets:
a periphrasis of the God of heaven, as in the preceding verse: maketh known unto thee what shall come to pass;
this he did by the dream he gave him, though he had forgot it; and now by restoring that, and the interpretation of it, by Daniel.

Daniel 2:29 In-Context

27 Daniel respondeu: “Nenhum sábio, encantador, mago ou adivinho é capaz de revelar ao rei o mistério sobre o qual ele perguntou,

28 mas existe um Deus nos céus que revela os mistérios. Ele mostrou ao rei Nabucodonosor o que acontecerá nos últimos dias. O sonho e as visões que passaram por tua mente quando estavas deitado foram os seguintes:

29 “Quando estavas deitado, ó rei, tua mente se voltou para as coisas futuras, e aquele que revela os mistérios te mostrou o que vai acontecer.

30 Quanto a mim, esse mistério não me foi revelado porque eu tenha mais sabedoria do que os outros homens, mas para que tu, ó rei, saibas a interpretação e entendas o que passou pela tua mente.

31 “Tu olhaste, ó rei, e diante de ti estava uma grande estátua: uma estátua enorme, im-pressionante, de aparência terrível.
