Read Daniel 2:24-45
[24]Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.[25]Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.[26]The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?[27]Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;[28]But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;[29]As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.[30]But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.[31]Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.[32]This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,[33]His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.[34]Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.[35]Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.[36]This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.[37]Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.[38]And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.[39]And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.[40]And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.[41]And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.[42]And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.[43]And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.[44]And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.[45]Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
MEMORISE:
But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the later days (Daniel 2:28)
EXPOSITION
Revelation is the manifestation of the divine truth. We get to know God's mind, programmes, and agenda through revelation. Revelation is to make us see into the future His plans, purposes, and intentions. God always shares His mind with His people. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant (Psa. 25:14).
Because Abraham was dear to God, He informed/revealed to him His plan concerning Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 18:17). The experience of Abraham with these men made him know another truth about God - kind and fair. Revelation establishes in us further truth about God.
God revealed His next action to Pharaoh in a dream, but the latter couldn't understand. He had to seek Joseph for the meaning of the revelation (Gen. 41:25). The revelation saved Egypt and nations around from starvation. God's revelation can save you, your family, city, and nation from impending disaster and calamity. The hidden information is freely given for a beneficial action.
Revelation is the coming to man, the words of God - His mind and will. What He is about to do and must be done. God revealed to Prophet Samuel the secret of king Saul and the steps to take for his replacement. Revelation makes us see what others can't see, know what they do not know, and enjoy an uncommon friendship with Him.
Mary, Thomas and other disciples of our Lord saw Him at resurrection. It is in seeing Him we accept the truth of the gospel (Jn. 20:18). To constantly receive the mind of God, we must be filled with the Spirit of God. We enjoy critical and crucial information from Him, wherever we may be when His Spirit is in us.
PRAYER POINTS
- Father, do not let Your revelation be scarce in my life.
- Lord, inspire me through divine revelation, to do Your will and purpose in this generation of mine, in Jesus' name.
- Let Your Church receive the revelation that will bring unstoppable revival in the land, O Lord.
