1.Nebuchadnezzar, forgetting his dream,
5.requires it of the Chaldeans, by promises and threats.
10.They acknowledging their inability are judged to die.
14.Daniel obtaining some respite finds the dream.
19.He blesses God.

46.Daniel's advancement.














And to me this mystery has been revealed
Daniel acknowledges that the revelation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream is a divine mystery disclosed to him by God. In biblical context, mysteries often refer to divine truths that are hidden and can only be understood through divine revelation (Ephesians 3:3-5). This emphasizes God's sovereignty and the role of prophets as His chosen vessels to communicate His will.

not because I have more wisdom than any man alive
Daniel humbly denies any personal credit for the revelation, attributing it solely to God's grace. This humility is consistent with biblical teachings that wisdom and understanding come from God (Proverbs 2:6). Daniel's attitude contrasts with the pride often seen in Babylonian culture, where wisdom and knowledge were highly prized and often attributed to human achievement.

but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king
The purpose of the revelation is to communicate God's message to King Nebuchadnezzar. This reflects the biblical theme of God using His servants to speak to rulers and authorities (Exodus 7:1-2). It also highlights the importance of prophecy in revealing God's plans and purposes to those in power, as seen in other instances like Joseph interpreting Pharaoh's dreams (Genesis 41).

and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind
The revelation is intended to provide clarity and understanding to Nebuchadnezzar regarding his own thoughts and concerns. This phrase underscores the biblical principle that God knows the hearts and minds of all people (Psalm 139:1-4) and can provide insight and understanding beyond human capability. It also points to the role of prophecy in addressing the inner thoughts and anxieties of individuals, offering divine perspective and guidance.

Teaching Points
Humility in Service
Daniel acknowledges that the revelation is not due to his own wisdom. Believers should serve with humility, recognizing that any insight or ability comes from God.

God's Sovereignty
The passage underscores God's control over history and His ability to reveal mysteries. Trust in God's sovereignty should be a cornerstone of our faith.

Purpose of Revelation
God's revelations are given for a purpose, often to guide, instruct, or warn. We should seek to understand and apply God's revelations in our lives.

Dependence on God
Like Daniel, we should depend on God for understanding and wisdom, especially when faced with challenges or decisions.

Witness to Others
Daniel's interpretation served as a witness to Nebuchadnezzar. Our lives and insights should point others to God.

What Does Daniel 2:30 Mean
And to me this mystery has been revealed

• Daniel affirms that what was hidden is now unveiled—an act solely attributable to God (Deuteronomy 29:29;Amos 3:7).

• The use of “mystery” underscores God’s sovereignty in giving insight at His chosen time (1 Corinthians 2:10;Ephesians 1:9).

• Daniel positions himself as the recipient, not the originator, of divine revelation (Daniel 2:19, 22).

not because I have more wisdom than any man alive

• Daniel immediately deflects credit, modeling humility (Proverbs 27:2;James 1:17).

• True wisdom is sourced in the Lord, who “gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6).

• His stance contrasts the pride God later judges in Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 4:30–32) and affirms the principle that “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise” (1 Corinthians 1:27).

but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king

• God’s purpose reaches beyond Daniel’s personal benefit; it directly serves Nebuchadnezzar’s need (Genesis 41:15–16;Daniel 2:24).

• The Lord uses His servant to influence earthly authority, guiding history according to His plan (Proverbs 21:1;Daniel 2:21).

• Revelation leads to action: the king must respond to God’s unfolding kingdom agenda (Isaiah 46:9–10;Romans 13:1).

and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind

• God addresses the king’s inner turmoil, proving He “understands my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:2).

• The dream’s content exposes hidden fears about empires and future events, and Scripture regularly shows God speaking to human anxiety (Isaiah 41:10;Philippians 4:6–7).

• His word penetrates “to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12), compelling Nebuchadnezzar to acknowledge the Most High.

summary

Daniel 2:30 showcases divine revelation, human humility, purposeful communication to authority, and God’s intimate knowledge of the human heart. Daniel reminds us that wisdom and insight are gifts bestowed for God’s larger redemptive plan, inviting every listener—king or commoner—to acknowledge and submit to the God who both reveals mysteries and rules history.

(30)For any wisdom--i.e., by reason of any wisdom of his own, but "for the sake of the king."

Verse 30. -But as for me, this secret was 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. The Septuagint Version is simpler, "But as for me, not on account of any wisdom in me above all men is this mystery revealed, but in order that it should be shown to the king it is revealed to me what thou thoughtest in thy heart in knowledge." The translator has read the preformativeת intoב. There is no reference to "those who shall show the interpretation." The text before him may have omitted the plural termination; consequently, the huphal was supplied. Theodotion, the Peshitta, and Jerome all agree pretty closely with the Massoretic text, but all make the verb translated "shows" singular, not plural, as does the Massoretic. Of course, it may be that this was due to rendering the sense, not the words, of the original; but Theodotion especially is more prone in any difficulty to slavish adherence to his original. His rendering is, "But as for me, not for wisdom which is in me beyond all living is the mystery revealed, but that the interpretation be made known to the king in order that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart." The Pe-shitta renders the latter clauses thus: "But that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know what thou didst meditate on in thy heart." Jerome, after renderingרזא (raza, "secret")sacra-mentum, proceeds," Sed ut interpretatio regi manifesta fieret et cogitationes mentis tuae seires." The fact that the last word takes the Mandaitic formתִּנְדַּע (tin'dae) instead ofתִדַּע (tidda') indicates on the whole an Oriental origin. The use of the plural form,יְהודעוּן (yehod'un),is wrongly rendered, "for their sakes who shall make known the interpretation." The Revised Version is more accurate, "but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known;" and Luther translates, "Dass dem Konige die Deutung augezeiget warde." The use of the plural for the indefinite occurs elsewhere (Wirier, § 49). The position Daniel takes up is one which does not separate him from the otherhakmeen of the court. He in effect says, "I am no wiser than the other sages who have been condemned to death, only the God of heaven can reveal what the king demands, and he has revealed it to me." The purpose of the revelation, "that thou mightest know the interpretation," is fitted to soothe his pride. The humility of Daniel has been remarked in reference to this verse. He puts himself behind the impersonal form, "in order that people may show the king the interpretation." The reason why the interpretation was shown to Nebuchadnezzar might be really to humble him, to show him that his empire, splendid as it was, was only one in a succession, and that the whole system of world-empires would be overthrown before a kingdom set up by the God of the Jews.
