What did Nebuchadnezzar see in his dream in Daniel 2?
In his dream, Nebuchadnezzar saw a great image, a huge likeness of a man. It had a head, shoulders, belly, legs, feet, and toes, as described in Daniel 2:31. Daniel explained this image came to the king as he thought on his bed about what would come to pass hereafter.
Les teaches that Daniel, standing before King Nebuchadnezzar, recounts what the king saw in his dream. In Daniel 2:31, Daniel says, 'Thou, O king, saw'st, and behold a great image.' Les emphasizes that this image had to be in the form of a man, because it is described as having a head, shoulders, belly, legs, feet, and toes. So Nebuchadnezzar saw a humongous likeness of a man. Daniel also told the king that his thoughts came upon his bed about what should come to pass hereafter, and that the secret was not revealed for Daniel's own wisdom but for the king's sake.
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
