God who reveals mysteries, “through the Holy Spirit” …

 

 

When the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers

could not understand or interpret the king's dream, and instead said,

"What the king asks is too difficult; no one can reveal it to the king

except the gods, and they do not live among humans,"

King Nebuchadnezzar became very angry and ordered that

all the wise men of Babylon be put to death

(Daniel 2:1-12).

However, King Nebuchadnezzar later heard the interpretation of his dream

through Daniel and said, "Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings

and a revealer of mysteries" (vv. 45, 47).

Therefore, King Nebuchadnezzar believed that

although none of the wise men of Babylon could interpret his dream,

Daniel alone could reveal it. This was because Nebuchadnezzar believed

that Daniel had a spirit of the holy gods (4:8, 9, 18).

The Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of the holy God, dwells within us.

Our God is the God of all gods and the Lord of all presidents.

The "God who reveals mysteries" has made known to us,

through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10), not only the mystery of God,

which is "Christ, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27; 2:2),

but also "what will happen in the future" (Daniel 2:29).

The future event, which is "one mystery," is that

"we will not all die but will all be changed.

At the last trumpet, in the twinkling of an eye,

the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will all be changed"

(1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
