F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 2:36-49

God’s Kingdom Triumphant Daniel 2:36-49 Our Lord probably refers to these five empires when He speaks of “the times of the Gentiles.” The empire of Babylon was followed by that of Medo-Persia under Cyrus; that by Greece under Alexander the Great; and that in turn by Rome led by the Caesars. Since the dissolution of the Roman Empire, the vast dominions of the East and the West have fallen, generally speaking, into some ten main divisions. There is, therefore, now nothing between us and the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 2:1-49

In the second year of his reign Nebuchadnezzar, troubled by dreams and unable to sleep, called together his enchanters and sorcerers to explain his dreams one of which troubled him especially. Their difficulty was that the king could not recall the dream. It had left an impression on his mind, but none of the details remained in his memory. Of course, his demand was the unreasonable one of a despot, and yet the claims these men made, if true, ought to have enabled them to discover the dream as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 2:46-47

Nebuchadnezzar Duly Honours Daniel (Daniel 2:46-48 ). ‘Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours to him. The king responded to Daniel, and he said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing that you have been able to reveal this secret.’ In what we have been looking at we have to some extent lost the powerful picture. Nebuchadnezzar, seated on a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 2:36-49

Daniel 2:36-Ephesians : . The Interpretation of the Dream.— According to Daniel’ s interpretation the colossal statue is a pictorial representation of the course of history. Four empires succeed each other and are finally destroyed by a fifth which is of Divine origin (not made with hands), and ultimately dominates the world. We can identify these empires with practical certainty, and the identification proves that the statue depicts the history of 450 years, roughly speaking from 600 to 150 ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:47

A God of gods; the greatest and supreme God of all the world, above Baal, or Bel, and above all other gods. A Lord of kings; the word is Maron or Maran, which in the Syriac signifies Lord, or high Lord, seeing he is the highest King of all the earth. He makes, overrules, and pulls down whom he will, 1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14; Revelation 19:16; by this he gathers that God is a revealer of secrets, Isaiah 48:3,Isaiah 48:5-8. A revealer of secrets; is supreme God, because he knows, and... read more

HOMILETICSSECT. XI.—DANIEL’S ELEVATION (Chap. Daniel 2:46-49)The king was convinced that Daniel had given a true description and interpretation of his dream. The truth also which the youthful prophet declared concerning the true God, approved itself to his understanding and conscience, and for a time at least was powerfully felt. Under the power of his convictions he confesses himself a believer in Daniel’s God (Daniel 2:47) [79]. This all the more remarkable as the interpretation of his dream... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 2:29-49

Daniel 2:29-49 I take the severance of the stone from the mountain to denote the coming of Christ into the world, and the collision of the stone with the image to mean the founding by the Lord of that spiritual kingdom which is in its principles antagonistic to all the world-powers, and which will ultimately subdue them all. Thus viewed, the vision which Daniel recovered and interpreted suggests to us many interesting things concerning the kingdom of Christ. I. There is, first, its superhuman... read more

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 2:1 . In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar, after he ascended the throne, according to the Chaldaic account, which was the fourth according to the Hebrew account. Nebuchadnezzar is thought by some to have reigned awhile with his father, as Solomon did with David. He is called king when he first came against Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:6. Daniel 2:2 . Call the hariolites or aruspices, those who used incantations, being diviners. The magicians, those who affected to know all the... read more

Daniel 2:34-49Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands.The Dream Recovered and InterpretedThe vision suggests to us many interesting things concerning the Kingdom of Christ. 1. Its superhuman origin. The stone was “cut out” of the mountains without hands. There was no natural cause for its severance. So the foundation of Christ’s kingdom was the result of no development of human character, but rather of the bringing of a new spiritual and heavenly power into the world. 2. The... read more
