Ancient of Days: A Study in DanielExemplo

What does it say?

Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The king acknowledged Daniel’s God as the Lord of kings.

What does it mean?

Daniel was God’s messenger who revealed mysteries fulfilled in his day as well as prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream revealed his place in history and demonstrated God’s sovereignty over earthly authorities. The Rock in the dream represents Christ, who will one day establish His millennial kingdom on Earth. Daniel’s God-given insight caused this conquering king to fall prostrate, taking his rightful place before the Lord of kings and giving praise to Daniel’s God. God is all-knowing, in charge of history, and has ordained each person’s place in His plan.

How should I respond?

Every generation has its measure of challenges. You face exhilarating and disturbing events as you live through your segment of history. God is never surprised by world events or your actions and reactions to circumstances. How do you cope with the highs and lows of life? As you grow in the knowledge of God, your relationship with the Lord of history should impact your attitudes and actions. Ultimately, Christ will rule over all. That fact enables those who know Him to live confidently without fear and worry. Will you trust the God of Heaven with your concerns today, serving Him right where you are?
