This message has taken me 5 or 6 days to write. It is very long and it made me weak sitting at the computer doing this message.
But!!!! I would like to thank my God that he gave me this message. This is like a short book that became long. So
I will tell you now if you don't want to read it, fine with me. I have read it 4 or 5 times to see if I could find any mistakes in my spelling
Interpretation Of A Interpretation
Daniel 2:1... And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,
wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.vs 1 ) He begins to be disturbed or trouble because of his dreams. had to be asleep but could not sleep. same as
Joseph in gen. 41 dreamed and dreams have the same meaning but dreams is a masculine noun which makes it spiritual or a prophetic meaning. had to come from a true prophet of God. vs 2 2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to
shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. ( astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, are nothing but witchcraft or sorcery that the king thought would know what the dream meant. But they all are witchcraft or sorcery. God's word says " Jeremiah 29:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst
of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
vs 3-11... speaks of the dream that the king had and he tells them to shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof interpret the dream. One thing I must show here. Instead or dreamed dreams, which is plural, it goes to dream which is singular and as I said is masculine noun makes it spiritual. They ask the king to tell them the dream but the king tells them the thing is gone from him.
He said it was gone from him in vs 5 and vs 8 meaning the dream had departed from his mind and he no longer remembers it. He asks them to shew the dream and the interpretation thereof. . vs 9.... speaks of the king wanting them again to make known what the dream was. He said if they
can make known the dream to him and he will know that they have the interpretation thereof. He said
if you can not make known this dream you have ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak
before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me
the interpretation thereof and if not ye have prepared to lie and corrupt words to speak before me,
vs 10... they say not the king says but they say "There is not a man upon the earth that can shew
the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician,
or astrologer, or Chaldean". (They knew that they had no spiritual answer and was false prophets ).
This is getting very long, so I must say: vs 11-16 is talking about Daniel going in to talk to the king and telling the king to give him time and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
Daniel said that God in heaven had shown him the answer and the interpretation. . Daniel is a shadow and types Jesus. In Jesus the Christ we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. He is our mediator.....1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (You can not get to God unless you go through Jesus the Christ. This message is from the throne of God. My little mind can not even realize what is being written in this message. I see now why Jesus said, " in the volume of the book it is written of me". I am that book that is writing of him in this message. Praise God.
Dan. 2: 17.... Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
( Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were the friends of Daniel that Nebuchadnezzar renamed Shadrach; Meshach; Abednego.
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:( very important scripture here: he removeth kings is showing the
earthly kingdom of law where he removed those priests, kings, and OT prophets. he set up kings is showing the spiritual realm
of the NT where we no longer under law but we are under Grace. Under Grace, we no longer have to go to those prophets, priest and such. There are some that think they have to run to some prophet and get the word of God. People, he ( Jesus) changed the times and the season. Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of
necessity a change also of the law. (We are now under a holy priesthood. Under Grace is a holy nation. We are
no longer under the blood of bulls and of goats. As the scripture says he changeth the times and the seasons and now we are under the blood of Jesus that taketh away the sins of the world. We are under his heavenly kingdom:
Christ Jesus is our High Priest and heavenly Jerusalem. People we are no longer under that OT Jerusalem which shows
law. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation. Still on vs 21 giveth wisdom unto the
wise. Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (We need to
seek out wisdom, and the reason of things). Proverbs 18:15 [Full Chapter]
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Dan. 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him. ( in these last days God is revealing deep and secret things to the ones that he has chosen that will get into his word. In this message, I had not even attended to go to this book of Daniel 2. I was planning on doing just a few vs's on Shadrach; Meshach; Abednego.
This is deep for me.God is beginning to show his secret things to his New Jerusalem. This is new territory. We are no longer in the wilderness.
The son is beginning to shine in the darkness.To open eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light. WHEW, shouting message for me. He ( Jesus Christ) is bringing to light the hidden things of darkness. the light dwelleth with him. Jesus said
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
God is bringing in these last days darkness that we have never seen before. He is bringing the darkness into the light. Job 12:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
Dan. 2:23-29... Daniel went to the king and told him he had a God in heaven make known the dream and
the interpretation. 28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. ( folks we are living in these latter days, that should come to an end soon.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.. ( I suppose you can consider me as Daniel. It is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living but it is from the wisdom of God. As I said earlier my little mind can not even comprehend this message.
Daniel 2:31 King James Version (KJV) Speaking of Jesus
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent,
stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. ( this is speaking of Jesus)
The church changed this great image whose brightness was excellent Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. ( what is a creeping thing? good question I just asked myself.
but do I have an answer? sure I do. they are somethng that crawls. in other words, a snake is a creepy thing and I l know there are other things that creep. (One of the meanings of creepy in strongs' is used chiefly of snakes)
But there is a false teaching going about that says that that the serpent in the garden was a snake. It is called the "serpent seed" which teaches that woman had sex with a snake. Such evil and people go miles just to listen to this corruptible man who they think he is a god.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to
dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. ( the church worships the creature or something that they created, not God created. Yes, they made God be a man and also they worship a false jesus. They do not worship the true God or Creator. The church changed or transformed the Creator into a creature that they worship an image made like to corruptible man. Yes, the pastors, etc.
Still on vs 31..... Showing Jesus whose brightness was excellent...Hebrews 1:3 Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out
of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am
the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Still on vs 31 of Daniel 2.....which again is speaking of Jesus whose form thereof was terrible.
Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form
nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Here he puts on the armor of God. Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having
on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Revelation 9:9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many
horses running to battle. The head is showing Jesus Christ being the head of the body, the church. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Daniel told "Tho art this head of gold",so Nebuchadnezzar is a shadow and types Jesus also.
King James Version (KJV)
Dan 2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay,
and brake them to pieces. ( his legs of Iron is showing the power that I spoken of above and 1 Corinthians 4:20 [Full Chapter]
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Revelation 5:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,
and honour, and glory, and blessing. (God gave Jesus that power when he allowed him to sit in the seat ( throne) of God
The iron and the clay is once again showing The Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil which is law.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and
the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand,
and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over
all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall
be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not
cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
vs 33.... Jesus was that stone that was cut out without hands. Hebrews 11:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (What was those foundations? Well let's see what scripture tell us). 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon
the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 2 Corinthians 5:1:10
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. ...
Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
vs. 34.... Jesus is also the one that broke them to pieces.Psalm 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
( if you ever get anything out of this message, this is the scriptures that you need.
Without the understanding that Peter had in Mat.16: 15-19.... you will get nowhere with God. you must have this revelation as Peter had when Jesus asked Peter this question15 "He saith
unto them, But whom say ye that I am"? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ( you must understand that Jesus was that stone or rock that was not made by the hand of man.
Daniel 2:33....... part iron and part clay....... part clay is showing the fleshly Jesus, which is also the church. Job 33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Psalm 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. ( this is showing the church as miry clay which is law which Jesus was under. Yes Jesus was under law as the church is today. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence. (Jesus was brought out of that miry clay (false church and law)
God placed him upon a rock ( Grace) that will not sink. Grace is Iron. So we see Jesus was part iron and part clay. His inner man became Iron when he received the Holy Ghost. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence. It is also showing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (law)
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again
another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. ( still speaking of the clay that was marred (Jesus under the law). And also
I have used this scripture one time but need it again to show what I am referring to here. Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
vs. 37...... 37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
(This is showing Jesus as KING OF KINGS). Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. (Two
needed vs. saying he is King of Kings. Now to show the kingdom.) Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,) Whew, I just saw something in this about John. The vs said John was put in prison. God just showed me that prison was death and hell, which was law. So if you go back to law there is nothing but death and hell for you. There is nothing but death and hell in that church. I know this is off tract from the message. But as I said God just gave it to me. God ended that the law right there.
Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth
into it. ( I hope anyone that reads this can open spiritual eyes and see that the law and the OT prophets ended with John.) See
since that time the kingdom of God is preached. If you go back to some prophet or law, you have fallen from Grace and putting the Lord Jesus to open shame. It profits nothing.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, (law) that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
As I said earlier this is off track from the message, but I must give what God shows me.
More on the kingdom from vs 37 of Daniel 2.... for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here,
which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. ( those standing there was under the
law and I said the law was and is death. He said they shall not taste death till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. This one vs is showing the kingdom of God that gave Jesus with power. What was the power? Once again we will go to scripture and show you. But let me show what Jesus said about not knowing the power of God.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
( he said you must know the scriptures to have the power of God. I know some may not believe this but without scriptures, we would not even have God.) In John vs 1 it said: John 1:1 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( so as I said without the word there would be no God or Jesus.
Now back to where the power came from. Again I will go to the word of God and show the power.)
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ( so we see the power comes from the Holy Ghost when one receives it as the day of Pentecost.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost. ( see all of this power is of the Holy Ghost. Without the Holy Ghost there is no power.)
1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. ( see folks, the power comes with the Holy Ghost.)
Now to the strength and glory in Dan.2: 37... Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ( the Spirit capital S meaning Proper noun name for a particular person, place, or thing. So this was in the inner man which is the Holy Ghost in Jesus.
Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,
and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not
cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. ( iron mixed with miry clay is showing as I said above and now the church represented by the clay in the feet is a corrupt, apostate church under the law. And the Iron is mingling themselves with the seed of man. Not the seed of God but the seed of man. Just look around and see what I am saying is true. The seed of man says and I have said this many times. He says it is alright for the church if they want to go play or watch a ballgame on the evil tv. I used to say this about the tv. I said it was the devil sitting in the living room and his horns coming out the roof. But that is no so today. The seed of man says you or we can and will have our sunrise services, we can watch out tv's, we can have our easter eggs hunts with our colored eggs and rabbits and eggs hanging on trees. We can have our halloween or trunk or treat, our xmass parties with giving of gifts. We can have a santa clauss with his reindeer and so much more. But while the seed of man slept the enemy came in and sowed tares among the wheat. The seed of man says you must pay me money to stay and preach a lie and you must agree with what
I say. You must not question his authority.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth ( sorry I forgot this but will add it here.
The wind coming like the summer threshingfloors was because these seeds of man built their house upon sand. Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (The seed of man has no foundation and wind which is showing the Holy Ghost blew these houses down. They are as a bootless pit.
I need to add part of Daniel 2:35 with 2:44 ...... the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Now the reason I added that is this is the day that I am looking forward to. This great mountain started on the day of Pentecost and God has added to it daily such as should be saved. I am also looking to that kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people. There will never be seed of man in this kingdom, no evil, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

But!!!! I would like to thank my God that he gave me this message. This is like a short book that became long. So
I will tell you now if you don't want to read it, fine with me. I have read it 4 or 5 times to see if I could find any mistakes in my spelling
Interpretation Of A Interpretation
Daniel 2:1... And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,

the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician,

This is getting very long, so I must say: vs 11-16 is talking about Daniel going in to talk to the king and telling the king to give him time and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
Daniel said that God in heaven had shown him the answer and the interpretation. . Daniel is a shadow and types Jesus. In Jesus the Christ we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

This message is from the throne of God. My little mind can not even realize what is being written in this message. I see now why Jesus said, " in the volume of the book it is written of me". I am that book that is writing of him in this message. Praise God.
Dan. 2: 17.... Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
( Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were the friends of Daniel that Nebuchadnezzar renamed Shadrach; Meshach; Abednego.

law. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation. Still on vs 21 giveth wisdom unto the
wise. Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (We need to
seek out wisdom, and the reason of things). Proverbs 18:15 [Full Chapter]
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Dan. 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him. ( in these last days God is revealing deep and secret things to the ones that he has chosen that will get into his word. In this message, I had not even attended to go to this book of Daniel 2. I was planning on doing just a few vs's on Shadrach; Meshach; Abednego.
This is deep for me.God is beginning to show his secret things to his New Jerusalem. This is new territory. We are no longer in the wilderness.
The son is beginning to shine in the darkness.To open eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light. WHEW, shouting message for me. He ( Jesus Christ) is bringing to light the hidden things of darkness. the light dwelleth with him. Jesus said
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
God is bringing in these last days darkness that we have never seen before. He is bringing the darkness into the light. Job 12:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
Dan. 2:23-29... Daniel went to the king and told him he had a God in heaven make known the dream and
the interpretation. 28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. ( folks we are living in these latter days, that should come to an end soon.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.. ( I suppose you can consider me as Daniel. It is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living but it is from the wisdom of God. As I said earlier my little mind can not even comprehend this message.
Daniel 2:31 King James Version (KJV) Speaking of Jesus
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent,
stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. ( this is speaking of Jesus)
The church changed this great image whose brightness was excellent Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. ( what is a creeping thing? good question I just asked myself.
but do I have an answer? sure I do. they are somethng that crawls. in other words, a snake is a creepy thing and I l know there are other things that creep. (One of the meanings of creepy in strongs' is used chiefly of snakes)
But there is a false teaching going about that says that that the serpent in the garden was a snake. It is called the "serpent seed" which teaches that woman had sex with a snake. Such evil and people go miles just to listen to this corruptible man who they think he is a god.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to
dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. ( the church worships the creature or something that they created, not God created. Yes, they made God be a man and also they worship a false jesus. They do not worship the true God or Creator. The church changed or transformed the Creator into a creature that they worship an image made like to corruptible man. Yes, the pastors, etc.
Still on vs 31..... Showing Jesus whose brightness was excellent...Hebrews 1:3 Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out
of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am
the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Still on vs 31 of Daniel 2.....which again is speaking of Jesus whose form thereof was terrible.
Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form
nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Here he puts on the armor of God. Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having
on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Revelation 9:9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many
horses running to battle. The head is showing Jesus Christ being the head of the body, the church. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Daniel told "Tho art this head of gold",so Nebuchadnezzar is a shadow and types Jesus also.
King James Version (KJV)
Dan 2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay,
and brake them to pieces. ( his legs of Iron is showing the power that I spoken of above and 1 Corinthians 4:20 [Full Chapter]
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Revelation 5:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,
and honour, and glory, and blessing. (God gave Jesus that power when he allowed him to sit in the seat ( throne) of God
The iron and the clay is once again showing The Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil which is law.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and
the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand,
and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over
all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall
be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not
cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
vs 33.... Jesus was that stone that was cut out without hands. Hebrews 11:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (What was those foundations? Well let's see what scripture tell us). 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon
the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 2 Corinthians 5:1:10
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. ...
Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
vs. 34.... Jesus is also the one that broke them to pieces.Psalm 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
( if you ever get anything out of this message, this is the scriptures that you need.
Without the understanding that Peter had in Mat.16: 15-19.... you will get nowhere with God. you must have this revelation as Peter had when Jesus asked Peter this question15 "He saith
unto them, But whom say ye that I am"? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ( you must understand that Jesus was that stone or rock that was not made by the hand of man.
Daniel 2:33....... part iron and part clay....... part clay is showing the fleshly Jesus, which is also the church. Job 33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Psalm 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. ( this is showing the church as miry clay which is law which Jesus was under. Yes Jesus was under law as the church is today. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence. (Jesus was brought out of that miry clay (false church and law)
God placed him upon a rock ( Grace) that will not sink. Grace is Iron. So we see Jesus was part iron and part clay. His inner man became Iron when he received the Holy Ghost. Colossians 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence. It is also showing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (law)
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again
another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. ( still speaking of the clay that was marred (Jesus under the law). And also
I have used this scripture one time but need it again to show what I am referring to here. Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
vs. 37...... 37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
(This is showing Jesus as KING OF KINGS). Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. (Two
needed vs. saying he is King of Kings. Now to show the kingdom.) Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,) Whew, I just saw something in this about John. The vs said John was put in prison. God just showed me that prison was death and hell, which was law. So if you go back to law there is nothing but death and hell for you. There is nothing but death and hell in that church. I know this is off tract from the message. But as I said God just gave it to me. God ended that the law right there.
Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth
into it. ( I hope anyone that reads this can open spiritual eyes and see that the law and the OT prophets ended with John.) See
since that time the kingdom of God is preached. If you go back to some prophet or law, you have fallen from Grace and putting the Lord Jesus to open shame. It profits nothing.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, (law) that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
As I said earlier this is off track from the message, but I must give what God shows me.
More on the kingdom from vs 37 of Daniel 2.... for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here,
which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. ( those standing there was under the
law and I said the law was and is death. He said they shall not taste death till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. This one vs is showing the kingdom of God that gave Jesus with power. What was the power? Once again we will go to scripture and show you. But let me show what Jesus said about not knowing the power of God.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
( he said you must know the scriptures to have the power of God. I know some may not believe this but without scriptures, we would not even have God.) In John vs 1 it said: John 1:1 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( so as I said without the word there would be no God or Jesus.
Now back to where the power came from. Again I will go to the word of God and show the power.)
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ( so we see the power comes from the Holy Ghost when one receives it as the day of Pentecost.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost. ( see all of this power is of the Holy Ghost. Without the Holy Ghost there is no power.)
1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. ( see folks, the power comes with the Holy Ghost.)
Now to the strength and glory in Dan.2: 37... Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ( the Spirit capital S meaning Proper noun name for a particular person, place, or thing. So this was in the inner man which is the Holy Ghost in Jesus.
Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,
and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not
cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. ( iron mixed with miry clay is showing as I said above and now the church represented by the clay in the feet is a corrupt, apostate church under the law. And the Iron is mingling themselves with the seed of man. Not the seed of God but the seed of man. Just look around and see what I am saying is true. The seed of man says and I have said this many times. He says it is alright for the church if they want to go play or watch a ballgame on the evil tv. I used to say this about the tv. I said it was the devil sitting in the living room and his horns coming out the roof. But that is no so today. The seed of man says you or we can and will have our sunrise services, we can watch out tv's, we can have our easter eggs hunts with our colored eggs and rabbits and eggs hanging on trees. We can have our halloween or trunk or treat, our xmass parties with giving of gifts. We can have a santa clauss with his reindeer and so much more. But while the seed of man slept the enemy came in and sowed tares among the wheat. The seed of man says you must pay me money to stay and preach a lie and you must agree with what
I say. You must not question his authority.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth ( sorry I forgot this but will add it here.
The wind coming like the summer threshingfloors was because these seeds of man built their house upon sand. Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (The seed of man has no foundation and wind which is showing the Holy Ghost blew these houses down. They are as a bootless pit.
I need to add part of Daniel 2:35 with 2:44 ...... the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Now the reason I added that is this is the day that I am looking forward to. This great mountain started on the day of Pentecost and God has added to it daily such as should be saved. I am also looking to that kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people. There will never be seed of man in this kingdom, no evil, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
God (the Mountain) and the Son of God (the Rock)
