Speaker reflects on Daniel's wisdom and faith

Of Israel. But before him I told the dream saying, oh, Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, Because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee and no secret troubleth thee. Tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen and the interpretation thereof. I need them both again. Give me do what no one can do. Revelation, and I'll trust what anyone can do. Interpretation. In some ways, I love Nebuchadnezzar's description of Daniel here. I hope that someday I can qualify for the same description, someone that has the spirit of God with him. I want that. I want to live in such a way that I can have that gift to the point that no secret, all right, we could say no mystery, no question, no concern, no doubt troubles me. It's one of the reasons I called this channel unshaken. It's one of the reasons I feel so strongly about Jacob's experience with Sherem and what left him unshaken, that he couldn't be shaken because he was so close to God. That's what I want. That's what I'm striving for. And I'm grateful that God is willing to steady us so that we might not be troubled by things we don't yet know. That's Daniel for you. Oh, you have a dream. Another dream. We've done this before, we can do it again. Let me turn to the Lord on this one. And sure enough, he does. In verse 10 through 12, he begins to explain. Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed I saw and behold a tree in the midst of the earth. And the height thereof was great. The tree grew and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven and. And the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. The leaves thereof were fair, the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat. For all the beasts of the field had shadow under it. And the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. And he guesses what he's seen sound a little like the head of gold on the statue that he saw in his previous dream. Yes, sure enough, this is the mighty Babylonian empire. His branches spread in far and wide. Nebuchadnezzar perched at the top of it like an eagle, I'm sure, looking out over his domain. And fruit and the. The fowls and. And beasts of the earth find shelter there. He's. He's the ruler of.
