UNFOLDING THE WORD With Dr. Gary Kuhne

Nebuchadnezzar has built an image and required all of the political leaders, advisors, financial leaders, and judicial leaders to bow down before the image and worship the one represented by the image. But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to do so, even after the King gives them a second chance to obey.

Chapter 3 opens with yet another crisis as the king shows he rejects the inevitability of the dream’s message about the direction of history and God’s control over history. Nebuchadnezzar builds am image that reflect the dream image except the whole image is gold (i.e., his kingdom will last no matter what God says). He brings all of the political leaders, ad visors, financial leaders, and judicia...

The dream Daniel explained to the King was a prophetic dream that underscored the fact that God is the “Lord of History”. The King accepts the interpretation and elevates Daniel into the dual position of #2 in political authority in the empire and the position of #1 in advisory authority as the head of the Magi order. God used the crisis to move Daniel into these roles. And the King accepted Danie...

The dream Daniel explained to the King was a prophetic dream that underscored the fact that God is the “Lord of History”. Daniel shows Nebuchadnezzar that the head of gold represented his kingdom but one that was going to end, to be followed by a series of kingdoms, kingdoms identified as silver (Medo-Persian), bronze (Greek), iron (Rome), and mixed iron and clay (modern era of mixed alliances, no...

The dream Daniel explained to the King was a prophetic dream that underscored the fact that God is the “Lord of History”. In today’s verses Daniel shows Nebuchadnezzar that the head of gold represented his kingdom, a great kingdom, but one that was going to end, to be followed by a series of kingdoms, first the Medo-Persian empire (the silver part of the statue), this in turn to be followed by the...

The dream Daniel explained to the King was a prophetic dream that underscored the fact that God is the “Lord of History”. Daniel met the first task by telling the king the details of the dream. The dream was about a great image (mighty and frightening) that was made up of various metals. The great image was destroyed by a stone that had not human origin. The stone then grows into a mountain that f...

God has given Daniel the interpretation of the king’s dream in answer to the prayer of Daniel and his friends. As he comes before the king to give the explanation of the dream, he begins by affirming that the God who is really there should receive glory the answer, not Daniel himself. And this true is the Lord of times, seasons, history, governments, and truth. And the dream is a prophetic dream t...

Daniel and his friends now faced a death penalty as they were condemned along with the rest of the Magi order because of the Magi leaders’ inability to interpret a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. As Daniel finds out about the death penalty, he doesn’t give up hope in the impossible situation. Instead, we see a series of response that create principles that can help us respond to our own “impossible...

Daniel and his friends now faced a death penalty as they were condemned along with the rest of the Magi order because of the Magi leaders’ inability to interpret a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. The King sensed the dream was from God and related to the kingdom itself. As a result, he was unable to sleep or rest until he could find the interpretation. The Magi understood only God could answer the ki...

Chapter 2 opens with a new crisis in which Daniel and his friends now faced a death penalty. Thery are condemned along with the rest of the Magi order because of the Magi leaders’ inability to interpret a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. The dream was sent by God to show that God is the Lord of History, not man (and certainly not the prideful king).

Daniel finds himself in a “childhood in crisis” as he faced 4 “faith testers”! In vs. 5-16 we discovered important lessons about “crisis resolution”. Verse 17-21 focus on the “fruit” of the properly handled crisis situation, how God blessed their academic studies and made them perform above all others when tested by the King. God also gave Daniel a special ability to interpret visions and dreams,...

As the book opens, Daniel finds himself, at probably 12 or 13 years of age, torn away from his family and homeland and forced into exile and indoctrination in a foreign land. Truly a “childhood in crisis” as he faced 4 “faith testers”! In vs. 5-16 we discover that in the face of the forced 3 years training program, Daniel saw nothing conflicting with his faith in the curriculum he had to study. Th...
