279 Years in Just One Night!

Certainly most of us have had the experience of waking up in the morning and asking:  “Where did that dream come from? 

Maybe the bed-time snack of three slices of pepperoni pizza, but more often than not, we simply do not know where those far-fetched and bizarre dreams come from.

However, we do know where the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream came from, a strange dream reported in the second chapter of the Old Testament Book of Daniel.  Thanks to the divinely inspired insight of a young Jewish exile, Nebuchadnezzar also knew where the dream came from—more correctly from whom it came—and its meaning, as well.

While the great majority of dreams defy explanation and understanding, this particular one was deep in its meaning and broad in its scope, so broad, in fact, that it covered a span of 279 years and beyond, outlining in amazing detail a major period of world history.

With this in mind, let’s open our Bibles to Daniel 2 for this second in the series we have named, “When Worlds Collide:  Studies in the Book of Daniel,” an episode with the intriguing title, “279 Years in Just One Night!”
