Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:12
Tyrants are inexorable, and they rule according to their will, and being crossed they are furious, and that brings forth death; the wrath of such is the roaring of a lion. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:13
This was unjust, that Daniel and his fellows should have their share in the punishment, and yet be excluded from the other part which was the reward; the reason why they were not called was because of their youth, which the Chaldeans despised, wherein we have these three things observable. 1. The magicians confessed this, that knowledge and revelation must come from God, and therefore what Daniel did was not by any human strength, but Divine only. 2. That the Lord held the governor’s hands, so... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:15
So hasty; so precipitate, to slay the innocent who were never called, who knew nothing of it-this appears plainly from these words, Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel, Daniel 2:15, which was this, that the king had dreamed a strange dream that troubled him, that he had forgotten it, that he called all his wise men to show both the dream and interpretation, but they could not; therefore the king decreed the death of all the wise men in Babylon, and Daniel with his fellows among them,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:16
There are four things here very strange and wonderful. 1. That Arioch, instead of executing the king’s decree speedily, should make this stop. 2. That he should dare to see the king’s face when he was so wroth, instead of doing what his commission tied him to. 3. That Daniel should have the boldness to go in to the king when he was in his fury. 4. That he should desire time and obtain it of the king, who had denied the same thing to the wise men. To which we answer, The signal hand of God was... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 2:1-19
HOMILETICSSECT. V.—THE ANSWERED PRAYER (Chap. Daniel 2:1-19).We come to the first of the visions given to Daniel. The occasion of it was a dream of Nebuchadnezzar, of which it was required to give both the description and the interpretation. The vision thus in harmony with Daniel’s situation in Babylon, where pretensions to such wisdom and ability prevailed; a confirmation of the genuineness of the book. One object of the vision to elevate Daniel still higher in the king’s esteem and in the... 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. Taylor, Daniel the Beloved, p. 20. References: Daniel 2:1 . R. Payne-Smith, Homiletic Magazine, vol. vi., p. 45; Homiletic Quarterly, vol. v., p. 267. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 2:3
Daniel 2:3 We may feel that this ancient story is not wholly untrue, nor the effects of it wholly lost to it, when we cast our mind upon our own lives, and remember how much we, too, have been haunted by some magnificent dream. When the vision of what life really was, with its deep and solemn significance, was granted to us, we, awaking with the impression of all life's business, lost the vivid force of that dream we could not recall it, and we turned to the seers about us to revive those... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Daniel 2:4
Syriack From Daniel 2:4; Daniel 2:4-7 the Book of Daniel is written in Aramaic the ancient language of Syria, and substantially identical with Chaldaic, the language of ancient Babylonia. Upon this fact, together with the occurrence of fifteen Persian, and three Greek words has been based an argument against the historicity of Daniel, and in favour of a date after the conquest of Palestine by Alexander (B.C. 332). It has, however, seemed, with some modern exceptions, to the Hebrew and Christian... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 2:11
The Chaldeans bring three arguments to convince the king. 1. There is not a man upon earth can show the king’s matter. 2. There is no king requires such a thing of any magician. 3. None but the gods can do this. The Chaldeans with other Gentiles did believe more gods than one and the supreme deity or deities did not meddle with the affairs of men, but had the cognizance by inferior or intermediate demons. So Plato and many of them held. The meaning then is this, Seeing there are some things... read more
