Daniel 2: I have a forgotten dream
by RS  admin@creationpie.com : 1024 x 640


1. Daniel 2: I have a forgotten dream
Long before Martin Luther King, Jr. said "I have a dream", a king in Babylon said the same thing.

Many people have forgotten about that other dream, but, apparently, so did the king who had that dream.

2. Daniel 2: I have a forgotten dream
Anyone can make up stories for part of what is observed. Nebuchadnezzar realizes this in Daniel 2 when he has a disturbing dream and wants his wise men (magi) to both tell him and the interpretation.

They make up excuses and Nebuchadnezzar will hear none of it. Eventually, Daniel makes known to the King both the dream and the interpretation thereof.

3. Daniel 2:1

KJV: And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
Hebrew: ובשנת שתים למלכות נבכדנצר חלם נבכדנצר חלמות ותתפעם רוחו ושנתו נהיתה עליו׃
Greek: εν τω ετει τω δευτερω της βασιλειας ναβουχοδονοσορ ηνυπνιασθη ναβουχοδονοσορ ενυπνιον και εξεστη το πνευμα αυτου και ο υπνος αυτου εγενετο απ αυτου
Latin: in anno secundo regni Nabuchodonosor vidit Nabuchodonosor somnium et conterritus est spiritus eius et somnium eius fugit ab eo
Wycliffe: In the secounde yeer of the rewme of Nabugodonosor, Nabugodonosor siy a dreem; and his spirit was aferd, and his dreem fledde awei fro hym.
Luther: Im andern Jahr des Reichs Nebukadnezars hatte Nebukadnezar einen Traum, davon er erschrak, daß er aufwachte.

5. New Testament
The Greek word for "dream" appears in only two verses in the GNT (Greek New Testament).

The ancient Greek word "ὕπνος""sleep" and is the source of the English word "hypnosis" from the PIE (Proto Indo-European) root "*SWEP""sleep". The word could mean "death" in a figurative sense.

The modern Greek word "ύπνος" (EE-pnos) ≈ "sleep".

President Harry Truman (33rd President of the United States) is famous for his quote that he wanted a "one handed economist" because they would answer his question and then say, "but on the other hand" and continue with more advice.
