EPISODE ONE
NEBUCHADNEZ' ZAR had a dream that agitated his spirit during the second year of his reign. All the wise men being unable to reveal it, Daniel comes before the King and not only tells him the dream, by DIVINE REVELATION, but interprets it, thereby saving himself and the other wise men from execution. This prompts Nebuchadnez' zar to make Daniel "RULER OVER ALL the jurisdictional district of BABYLON and the CHIEF PREFECT OVER ALL the WISE MEN." Daniel 2.
His three companions receive high positions outside the court, while Daniel serves in the court.
THE DREAM: Daniel 2: 28 ...Your DREAM and THE VISIONS OF YOUR HEAD AS YOU LAY IN BED CAME THOUGHTS OF WHAT WOULD BE HERE-AFTER, and HE WHO REVEALS MYSTERIES MADE KNOWN TO YOU WHAT IS TO BE. But as for me, NOT BECAUSE OF ANY WISDOM THAT I HAVE MORE THAN ALL the LIVING has THIS MYTERY BEEN REVEALED to me, BUT IN ORDER THAT THE INTERPRETATION MAY BE MADE KNOWN TO THE KING, and THAT YOU MAY KNOW the THOUGHTS OF YOUR MIND.
2:31 ..You saw, O king, and behold, A GREAT IMAGE. This image, MIGHTY and of EXCEEDING BRIGHTNESS, STOOD BEFORE YOU, and ITS APPEARANCE WAS FRIGHTENING. 32. The HEAD of this image WAS fine GOLD, its BREAST and ARMS of SILVER, its BELLY and THIGHS of BRONZE, its LEGS of IRON, its FEET partly of IRON and partly of CLAY.
2:34 .. AS YOU LOOKED, A STONE WAS CUT OUT BY NO HUMAN HAND, and IT SMOTE the IMAGE ON ITS FEET OF IRON AND CLAY, and BROKE them IN PIECES; then the IRON, the CLAY, the BRONZE, the SILVER, and the GOLD, all TOGETHER WERE BROKEN IN PIECES, and BECAME LIKE the CHAFF OF the SUMMER THRESHING FLOORS; and THE WIND CARRIED THEM AWAY, so that NOT A TRACE of them could BE FOUND.
But the STONE that struck the image BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH.
