So he ordered that wise men of Babylon be called to interpret the dream for him.They answered the king, “O king, live forever, tell to your servants your dream, and we will declare the interpretat ion.” The king said, “The thing is gone out of my mind. Unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall be put to death. But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour.”Unluckily no one could fulfill the task. Hearing this, the king was in great anger, and commanded all the wise men of Babylon be put to death.When Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, told the matter to the Prophet(先知) Daniel, he immediately went in to the king and begged for the time to resolve the question.After some mysterious praying, Daniel went to Arioch and said, “Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to t he king.”The king said to Daniel, “Can you really tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation of it?” Daniel replied, “The secret that the king desires to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, can declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven that reveals mysteries, and He wants you to know what is going to happen”. “To me also,” Daniel added, “this secret is revealed, so I can reveal your dream.”Then Daniel began, “You, O king, saw a great statue: this statue, which was great an d high, stood before you, and the look was terrible. The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass(黄铜): And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay. Then suddenly you saw a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the statue upon the feet that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and they were carried away by the wind. There was no place found for them, but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”“This is the dream.We will also tell the interpretation to you.” He continued, “You are a king of kings, and the God of heaven has given you a kingdom. But as you dreamt, the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. That means you will not rule forever. The other parts of the statue represent other kings that will come after you. The big rock stands for the kingdom God will set up. It will destroy all other kingdoms and it will last forever!”Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that wise men of Babylon be pardoned from death. And the king made Daniel governor over all the provinces of Babylon, a much higher position than his former one.。
