Daniel 2:1-16
I am skipping forward a few verses to the second chapter regarding Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Beth's session on this chapter was absolutely riveting. Her first question for this week's homework is "How does the dream impact King Nebuchadnezzar? (Dan 2: 1-12)
I'll let you review your own Biblical texts and then we can discuss.
I think I'll make too many typos at this hour if I try to type out all the verses.
Looking forward to learning more with you...

Re: Daniel 2:1-16
Good Idea Karen.
We can read and reply here for your input.  Don't want you wearing yourself out.
By the way, Glendon and Collen have started getting all their testing done here in preparation of their surgery. Lab, urodynamics, ultrasound, echo cardiograms and Glendon is having a sleep study. That child , 13, has never slept! Never. He has rapid heart beat and has had since he was a wee thing. All these things make a picture now. Pediatritions here , I could just scream , as they never listened..
Ah well, just to let you know they are getting ready.
Did you have any tests to do?
I will read my Daniel and be back. Thanks Sister. !

Re: Daniel 2:1-16
I was wondering how the boys were doing. Will Riley go and cheer them on? He's going to stay home with you, right?
Those sleep tests, I don't think much of them. I had two of them and they said, "too many unexplained arousals" (waking up) but no one did anything! Sure takes a great team of technicians doing the study!
Don't know what is up with my eyes today/tonight, but it is not good, so again, I will close. Will be praying for the boys, and be reading Daniel to get caught up with the study, too.
loveya and thanks, Karen!

Re: Daniel 2:1-16
ok , Daniel 2:1-16
Neb the King, couldn't sleep after the disturbing dream. He called all the wise-men of Babylon to interpret the dream for him or be put to death.
They asked him to tell them the dream and they would reveal it's meaning. Neb said no and would be killing them if they could not tell him what the dream was and interpret it.
When Daniel heard of this harshness, he asked for time and and He would tell him the dream and interpret it also.------
In short it was alarming to Neb.and he could not rest.

Re: Daniel 2:1-16
I'm back for now. Sorry to have stalled out here.....
As usual Gale you have hit the nail right on the head. (Ouch, maybe not such a good analogy!)
This lesson in Beth's book did focus on the troubling nature of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and the desperated measures he was willing to go to have it interpreted.
One thing to note is that in Daniel 2:4
"the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic"..This phrase actually signals a switch from Hebrew to Aramaic in the original text. The remainder of the Book of Daniel continues in Aramaic until Chapter 7 when it returns to Hebrew. Beth points out that this indicates this portion of Daniel is pertinent not only to the children of Israel but to the Gentile world as well.
An encouraging point in this lesson comes after the astrologers have said to the king that "what he asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among men."
She says in the lesson, "if they only known our God!" Referencing Exodus 25:8 and John 1:14 she comes to this conclusion at the end of the lesson: Our God will dwell with us until we dwell with Him.
How uplifting a thought that is!
