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).
