Daniel 2:1-7

Listen to Daniel 2:1-7
1 Y en el segundo año del reinado de Nabucodonosor, soñó Nabucodonosor sueños, y su espíritu se quebrantó, y su sueño huyó de él.
2 Y mandó el rey llamar a magos, astrólogos, encantadores, y caldeos, para que mostrasen al rey sus sueños. Los cuales vinieron, y se presentaron delante del rey.
3 Y el rey les dijo: He soñado un sueño, y mi espíritu se ha quebrantado por saber el sueño.
4 Y los caldeos hablaron al rey en siriaco: Rey, para siempre vive: di el sueño a tus siervos, y mostraremos la declaración.
5 El rey respondió y dijo a los caldeos: El negocio se me fue de la memoria ; si no me mostráis el sueño y su declaración, seréis hechos pedazos, y vuestras casas serán puestas por muladares.
6 Y si me mostrareis el sueño y su declaración, recibiréis de mí dones y mercedes y gran honra; por tanto, mostradme el sueño y su declaración.
7 Respondieron la segunda vez, y dijeron: Diga el rey el sueño a sus siervos, y le mostraremos su declaración.

Daniel 2:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DANIAL 2

The subject of this chapter is a dream which Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed, but had forgot; upon which he calls his magicians and astrologers together, to tell him it, and the interpretation of it; threatening them with death if they did not, and promising them great rewards and honour if they did, Da 2:1-6, they urge the unreasonableness of the demand, and the impossibility of the thing; which so highly incensed the king, that he ordered their immediate destruction, Da 2:7-13, Daniel and his companions being in danger, he goes in to the king, and desires time, and he would show him what he had dreamed; which being granted, he spent it in prayer to God, Da 2:14-18, and the thing being revealed to him, he gave thanks to God, Da 2:19-23, and being introduced to the king, he both told him his dream, and the interpretation of it; which concerned the four monarchies of the world, and the everlasting kingdom of the Messiah, Da 2:24-45, upon which he was highly honoured, and greatly promoted by the king, Da 2:46-49.
