TOPIC: THE SUPERIORITY OF DIVINITY OVER HUMANITY

READ: DANIEL 2: 1-13 (NKJV)

2:1. Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was [so] troubled that his sleep left him.

2:2. Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

2:3. And the king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.”

2:4. Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”

2:5. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap.

2:6. “However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.”

2:7. They answered again and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will give its interpretation.”

2:8. The king answered and said, “I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm:

2:9. “if you do not make known the dream to me, [there is only] one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can give me its interpretation.”

2:10. The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, “There is not a man on earth who can tell the king’s matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has [ever] asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean.

2:11. “[It is] a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”

2:12. For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave a command to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.

2:13. So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise [men;] and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill [them.]

THE MESSAGE:

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon saw himself as the supreme monarch and dictator of his time. The lives of his subjects were at his discretion and his word and command was law. One day, he had a difficult and perplexing dream that rattled his ego. His super intelligence could not unravel his mysterious dream. He therefore sought the assistance of all those who had access to the spirit world by any means to tell his dream and give the interpretation. Nebuchadnezzar’s incapacitation and frustration to interpret his dream despite his greatness, and his resorting to divination reveals human emptiness without God. Though Nebuchadnezzar’s approach to knowing the interpretation of his mystery dream followed his idolatrous background, his seeking divine help – being human – expresses the fact that divinity is superior to humanity.

As Christians, we should always seek God, the Ultimate Reality and Divinity through His Son Jesus Christ, for divine revelation and exposition of things that are beyond the human realm. We should develop the very important instinct of hearing God’s voice to know His will in every issue in our lives through the habit of intimacy with God.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Those who seek God will find Him when they seek Him with all their heart (Isaiah 55: 6; Jeremiah 29: 13)
