Chebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of That is, notable and excellent visions, so that it might be known, it was no natural dream but came from God. God. The Argument - After Jehoiachin by the counsel of Jeremiah and Ezekiel had yielded himself to Nebuchadnezzar, and so went into captivity with his mother and various of his princes and of the people, some began to repent and murmur that they had obeyed the prophet's counsel, as though the things which they had prophesied would not come to pass, and therefore their estate would still be miserable under the Chaldeans. By reason of which he confirms his former prophecies, declaring by new visions and revelations shown to him, that the city would most certainly be destroyed, and the people grievously tormented by God's plagues, in so much that they who remained would be brought into cruel bondage. Lest the godly despair in these great troubles, he assures them that God will deliver his church at his appointed time and also destroy their enemies, who either afflicted them, or rejoiced in their miseries. The effect of the one and the other would be chiefly performed under Christ, of whom in this book are many notable promises, and in whom the glory of the new temple would perfectly be restored. He prophesied these things in Chaldea, at the same time that Jeremiah prophesied in Judah, and there began in the fifth year of Jehoiachin's captivity.

geneva@Daniel:1:17 @ As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning (note:)Meaning in the liberal sciences, and natural knowledge, and not in the magical areas which are forbidden; (Deu_18:11).(:note) and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all So that he alone was a Prophet, and none of the others: for by dreams and visions God appeared to his Prophets; (Num_12:6) visions and dreams.

geneva@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the (note:)For all these astrologers and sorcerers called themselves by this name of honour, as though all the wisdom and knowledge of the country depended upon them, and that all other countries were void of such wisdom and knowledge.(:note) Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

geneva@Daniel:2:3 @ And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.

geneva@Daniel:2:4 @ Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in (note:)That is, in the Syrian language, which differed not much from the Chaldeans, except it seemed to be more eloquent, and therefore the learned used to speak it, as the Jewish writers do to this day.(:note) Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

geneva@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye (note:)This is a just reward of their arrogance (who boasted of themselves that they had knowledge of all things), that they should be proved fools, and that to their perpetual shame and confusion.(:note) shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

geneva@Daniel:2:6 @ But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.

geneva@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered again and said, Let the king tell (note:)In this appears their ignorance, that despite their braggings, yet they were not able to tell the dream, unless he told them of it. And if he did tell them, they would pretend knowledge where there was but mere ignorance, and so as deluders of the people they were worthy to die.(:note) his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

geneva@Daniel:2:9 @ But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.

geneva@Daniel:2:26 @ Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?

geneva@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in (note:)He affirms that man by reason and craft is not able to attain to the cause of God's secrets, but the understanding only of them must come from God: by which he smites the king with a certain fear and reverence of God, that he might be the more able to receive the high mysteries that would be revealed.(:note) heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

geneva@Daniel:2:30 @ But as (note:)Because he had said that God alone must reveal the signification of this dream, the King might have asked why Daniel undertook to interpret it: and therefore he shows that he was but God's minister, and had no gifts but those which God had given him to set forth his glory.(:note) 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.

geneva@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.

geneva@Daniel:2:45 @ Forasmuch as thou sawest that the (note:)Meaning Christ, who was sent by God, and not set up by man, whose kingdom at the beginning would be small and without beauty to man's judgment, but would at length grow and fill the whole earth, which he calls a great mountain, as in (Dan_2:35). And this kingdom, which is not only referred to the person of Christ, but also to the whole body of his Church, and to every member of it, will be eternal: for the Spirit that is in them is eternal life; (Rom_8:10).(:note) stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

geneva@Daniel:3:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king made (note:)Under pretence of religion, and holiness in making an image to his idol Bel, he sought his own ambition and vain glory: and this declares that he was not touched with the true fear of God before, but that he confessed him on a sudden motion, as the wicked when they are overcome with the greatness of his works. The Greek interpreters write that this was done eighteen years after the dream, and as may appear, the King feared lest the Jews by their religion should have altered the state of his commonwealth: therefore he meant to bring all to one type of religion, and so rather sought his own peace than God's glory.(:note) an image of gold, whose height [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

geneva@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a (note:)This was another dream besides that which he saw of the four empires, for Daniel both declared what that dream was, and what it meant, and here he expounds this dream.(:note) dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

geneva@Daniel:4:6 @ {\cf2 (4:3)} Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before mee, that they might declare vnto me the interpretation of the dreame.

geneva@Daniel:4:7 @ Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but (note:)In that he sent abroad to others, whose ignorance in times past he had experienced, and left Daniel who was ever ready at hand, it declares the nature of the ungodly, who never seek for the servants of God unless they absolutely have to, and then they flatter to a great extent.(:note) they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

geneva@Daniel:4:8 @ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] (note:)This no doubt was a great grief to Daniel not only to have his name changed, but to be called by the name of a vile idol, which thing Nebuchadnezzar did to make him forget the true religion of God.(:note) Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],

geneva@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, (note:)Which also was a great grief to the Prophet, to be numbered among the sorcerers and men whose practices were wicked and contrary to God's word.(:note) master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

geneva@Daniel:4:18 @ {\cf2 (4:15)} This is the dreame, that I King Nebuchad-nezzar haue seene: therefore thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof: for all the wisemen of my kingdome are not able to shewe mee the interpretation: but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

geneva@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was (note:)He was troubled because of the great judgment of God, which he saw ordained against the king. And so the Prophets on the one hand used to make known God's judgments for the zeal they had for his glory, and on the other hand had compassion upon man. And they also considered that they would be subject to God's judgments, if he did not regard them with pity.(:note) astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

geneva@Daniel:5:12 @ Because a more excellent spirit, and knowledge, and vnderstanding (for hee did expound dreames, and declare hard sentences, and dissolued doubtes) were founde in him, euen in Daniel, whome the King named Belteshazzar: nowe let Daniel be called, and hee will declare the interpretation.

geneva@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: (note:)Whereas the people of Israel looked for a continual peace, after the seventy years which Jeremiah had declared, he shows that this rest will not be a deliverance from all troubles, but a beginning. And therefore he encourages them to look for a continual affliction until the Messiah is uttered and revealed, by whom they would have a spiritual deliverance, and all the promises would be fulfilled. And they would have a certain experience of this in the destruction of the Babylonian kingdom.(:note) then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.

geneva@Joel:2:28 @ And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour (note:)That is, in greater abundance, and more broadly than in times past. And this was fulfilled under Christ, when God's graces and his Spirit under the Gospel were abundantly given to the Church; (Isa_44:3; Act_2:17) (Joh_7:38-39).(:note) out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream As they had visions and dreams in ancient times, so will they now have clearer revelations. dreams, your young men shall see visions:

geneva@Zechariah:10:2 @ For the (note:)He calls to remembrance God's punishments in times past, because they trusted not in him, but in their idols and sorcerers who always deceived them.(:note) idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore That is, the Jews went into captivity. they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd.
