Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 2:19-22

God Reveals To Daniel What He Asked. Daniel Is Filled With Gratitude and Praise (Daniel 2:19-23 ). ‘Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, “Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever, for wisdom and might are his. And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and he sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who know understanding. He reveals the deep and secret... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 2:14-24

Daniel 2:14-Jeremiah : . Daniel Volunteers to Explain the Dream.— To save the magicians from their doom, Daniel offers to tell the king his dream and prays to God to make the thing clear to him. Daniel 2:14 . Arioch: Eri-Aku (“ Servant of the Moon-god,” see on Daniel 2:17), an old Sumerian (p. 51) name which, according to Sayce, was not in use in the time of Nebuchadnezzar. It occurs in Genesis 14:1, whence many scholars think our author derived it.— captain of the guard: lit. “ captain of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:20

He blesseth God for two things. 1. Wisdom; he means chiefly the wisdom God gave him in revealing this great secret to him, which the wise men could not attain to, because they knew not the true God, nor did seek to him for it, this is clear in Daniel 2:21-23. 2. Might is his; that is, almighty, above all mighty potentates of the world, above Nebuchadnezzar and all the kings of the earth, for he sets them up and plucks them down at pleasure, Daniel 2:21, as the interpretation of the dream and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:21

God made time; God made the sun, moon, and stars, the measure of time; he made the day and the night, and seasons of the year, yea, the revolutions and change of times; he can make bad times better, and turn night into day. He can make the sun go backward or stand still, as in Ahaz’s and Joshua’s time; it is the great part of God’s power and prerogative to change times. Daniel here attributes that to God which heathens attributed to nature, which they deified, or to chance; seeing that God... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 2:19-23

HOMILETICSSECT. VI.—THE THANKSGIVING (Chap. Daniel 2:19-23)The part of faith not only to pray but to look out for an answer. Daniel prayed in the firm expectation that, if for God’s glory, an answer would be granted. When the answer was given in the vision vouchsafed to him, he was in no doubt about its being such. The vision carried with it the proof of its divine origin. Revelations from God bear their evidence in their own bosom. No need for Daniel to wait till the king identifies his dream.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 2:1-23

Daniel 2:1-23 I. The narrative sets before us the value of united prayer. II. We have an illustration here of the power of gratitude. III. We have an illustration of the devout humility of genuine piety. IV. We have an illustration of faithful friendship. When Daniel was exalted, he did not forget his companions. W. M.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 2:1-49

Chapter 2Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep was taken from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his dream. So they came and they stood before the king. And the king said unto them, I've dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. So the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Syriac ( Daniel 2:1-4... read more

Daniel 2:20-23Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever.Daniel’s Prayer of ThanksgivingSuch a prayer sheds a flood of light upon the character of the man who utters it. It was addressed to the “God of Heaven,” and that title has a peculiar significance when the facts of Daniel’s history are taken into account. He had been brought up among an idolatrous people, who worshipped “gods many and lords many,” the sun, moon, and planets, and a host of inferior deities.... read more

Dan 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: Ver. 20. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God. ] They who are slight in praying are usually as slight in praising; Job 35:13 Dan 2:10-12 but Daniel was serious and zealous in both. For wisdom and might are his. ] These and all other excellencies are in God originally, eminently, transcendently. Daniel found it in this secret thus revealed to him; how much more may... read more
