Was the revelation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream to Daniel a coincidence?
The revelation was not a coincidence. It was the almighty sovereign God at work, revealing to Daniel the dream Nebuchadnezzar had forgotten. The secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Scripture presents it as divine intervention, not human happenstance, demonstrating God's sovereign control.
Les teaches that Daniel, still a young man without gray hairs, spoke with counsel and wisdom to Ariok, the captain of the king's guard. Daniel asked the king for time and promised to show the interpretation. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Les emphasizes this was the almighty sovereign God at work, not human happenstance. God revealed the dream Nebuchadnezzar had forgotten. When brought before the king, Daniel testified that there is a God, the God Nebuchadnezzar knew nothing of, in contrast to the wise men, astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers. Les also reminds that since the tower of Babel, the human race has been saturated with idolatry.
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
