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.

Daniel 2:18That they would desire mercies of the God of Heaven.Companions in PrayerDaniel and his companions were all equally concerned, every man of them for his life, and therefore ought everyone to pray; but, being companions in every other respect, it became them also to keep company in prayer. The necessity was urgent. In the land of Judah they might have gone up together to the house of God, and sought counsel of the Lord by Urim and Thummim. There they would have had the assistance of... read more

Daniel 2:19Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision.Daniel’s Preparation for Prophetic WorkA prophecy does not fall from Heaven in the form of a book written and sealed.

The situation of the prophet, then, must be favourable to the full reception of the prophecy in all its significance. “To... 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.
