DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 2-The Great Image
though he gave the dream to the king, he

sent the interpretation through one of his own

acknowledged servants. Daniel first

disclaimed all credit for himself in the

transaction, and then to modify somewhat the

feelings of pride which it would have been

natural for the king to have, in view of being

thus noticed by the God of heaven, he

informed him indirectly, that, although the

dream had been given to him, it was not for

his sake altogether that the interpretation was

sent, but for their sakes through whom it

should be made known. Ah! God had some

servants there, and it was for them that he was

working. They are of more value in his sight

than the mightiest kings and potentates of

earth. Had it not been for them, the king would

never have had the interpretation of his

dream, probably not even the dream itself.
