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 contestó:
—No hay sabios, brujos, magos ni adivinos que puedan dar a conocer el secreto del rey;

28 pero hay un Dios en el cielo, quien revela secretos y le ha dado a conocer al rey Nabucodonosor lo que ocurrirá en el futuro. Ahora le diré lo que soñó y las visiones que vio mientras estaba acostado en su cama.

29 »Mientras su Majestad dormía, soñó sobre sucesos futuros. Aquel que da a conocer los secretos le ha mostrado a usted lo que ocurrirá.

30 Y no es porque yo sea más sabio que los demás que conozco el secreto de su sueño, sino porque Dios quiere que su Majestad entienda lo que estaba en su corazón cuando soñó.

31 »En su visión, su Majestad vio frente a sí una enorme estatua resplandeciente de un hombre; daba terror verla.
