DANIEL 2:36


“This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. [Daniel 2:36 NKJV]


This was the dream, and now we will explain what it means to the king. [Daniel 2:36 FBV]


THERE'S INTERPRETATION TO WHAT YOU SEE


In the Bible verse above, Daniel showed the king the extent of what the king saw (dreamt) and completed it in the king's dream; and Daniel then promised to also show the king the extent of the same dream that king never saw nor understood (as in, the meaning or interpretation of the king's dream). I could rephrase his speech in the Bible verse above as thus, "Oh king, this was the nature and extent of what you saw in your dream, but now we will tell you what you did not see from what you saw: for what you did not see from what you saw is the interpretation, meaning or hidden revelation of what you saw."


Again, higher spiritual beings could tell how much you know in a matter, and could also tell you more beyond how much you already know, saw or heard, in the same matter. For interpretation is not just about translating but also about applying and implying. Again, things are not all as they seem: there are more to and beyond the things men see about everything they see daily: those extra things men do not naturally see from what they naturally see is the "Interpretation. It's foolish to think all a man saw about anything is the end or all about that very thing. The way we see things in physical realities is like the way that king saw the statue and the Stone in his dream; but there is interpretation he was yet to see or know to fully understand.


However, when Daniel successfully told the king how much the king knew in that matter, Daniel promised "We" (instead of "I" will show the king the interpretation or meaning. When it was about telling the king's dream he did not include any man among those having the ability to reveal such secrets but God in heaven; but after he revealed the dream, he included other wise men.


It was beyond human resources for another man to unveil the king's secret dream of such nature, and only God could have revealed that to the king through a man God revealed the secret. It falls within the class where one could say to the man revealing it, "Flesh and Blood has not revealed this to you, but God the Father in heaven." Therefore Daniel revealing this king's dream is in similar grade to Peter revealing the Divinity and Godhead status'quo of the Lord Jesus Christ while he dwelt among them as ordinary Man or like regular men.
