| 0:00.0 | The Bible Study Podcast, episode 213. Today, the Bible Study podcast continues the study of Daniel with chapter 2. |
| 0:11.6 | Welcome to the Bible Study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. As we said last week, we're starting a study of |
| 0:21.3 | Daniel, or at least the first part of the book of Daniel, and you'll see why we may skip around |
| 0:25.5 | some in the second half of the book. But we're continuing on today with chapter two. You may |
| 0:31.7 | remember last week, King Nebuchadnezzar conquers the southern kingdom of Judah. He brings some of the |
| 0:37.3 | young men into his service, and among them are Daniel, his Hebrew name, and Shadrach, Mishak and Abedniko, their Babylonian names. And Daniel, too, starts this way. In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams. His mind was troubled and he could not sleep. So the king summoned the |
| 0:55.8 | magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. When they came in and |
| 1:02.8 | stood before the king, he said to them, I have had a dream that troubles me, and I want to know what it |
| 1:08.0 | means. Then the astrologers answered the king, |
| 1:12.4 | May the king live forever. |
| 1:15.5 | Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it. |
| 1:17.9 | The king replied to the astrologers, |
| 1:20.0 | this is what I have firmly decided. |
| 1:24.6 | If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, |
| 1:28.8 | I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble. But if you tell me the dream and explain it, I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble. |
| 1:33.9 | But if you tell me the dream and explain it, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and interpret it for me. Once more, they replied, let the king |
| 1:40.2 | tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it. Then the king answered, I am certain that |
| 1:45.6 | you are trying to gain time because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided. If you do |
| 1:51.8 | not tell me the dream, there is only one penalty for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading |
| 1:57.7 | and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, |
| 2:03.0 | and I will know that you can interpret it for me. The astrologers answer the king, there is no one on |
| 2:10.3 | earth who can do what the king asks. No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing |
