Unusual Dreamers Of Unusual Dreams by PCHC(m): 8:03pm On Apr 25, 2023 |
DANIEL 2:2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. [NKJV] In this Bible verse above, Nebuchadnezzar called these Senators of his to tell him those dreams he had in secret. He demanded the "Word of Knowledge" from them because they were his prophets. When should we begin demanding our prophets to reveal things already revealed to us as a confirmation, instead of leaking the secrets of our revelations to them. They should be discerning and have knowledge of what he had, heard or saw, with God because they are prophets of God. If you demand me to reveal knowledge in my own field, I will seek God more for such revelations and reveal them to you as a confirmation because you already have or know it just as Nebuchadnezzar already had. When a prophet begins to make mistakes, saying you have three kids when you have lesser/more, or saying you did something you didn't do, all out of guess work, that prophet is not in truth of confirmation with your revelation in you. Such is a lying prophet. Recall from my Commentaries under the preceding verse, I briefed on four unusual features of unusual Dreams using these Nebuchadnezzar's Dreams as case-study. Now let us take a look at "Unusual Dreamer of Unusual Dreams." Nebuchadnezzar was an "Unusual Dreamer" chosen to bear or have unusual Dreams from God. At least in the entire Bible, Nebuchadnezzar was the king that saw far more than other kings saw in Dreams pertaining to the end of the world or eschatological events and the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth through the Lord Jesus Christ. No reigning king saw that far in dreams or visions as Nebuchadnezzar saw in these dreams. Therefore Nebuchadnezzar was a great Seer. But how was he an unusual dreamer? The Dreams were stubborn dreams, but Nebuchadnezzar the dreamer was also a stubborn king. Those Dreams by troubling Nebuchadnezzar made him even more mad, troublous and dangerous to people under him. Recall how the message and signs Moses was performing in Egypt was rather hardening the heart of Pharaoh, who oppressed the people more instead of letting them go. These dreams may have caused Nebuchadnezzar the dreamer to begin making harsher policies and harder demands from the magicians, astrologers, enchanters, sorcerers, Chaldeans and people of the world under his realms. °1° The first of the harsher policies or harder demands Nebuchadnezzar made as a result of these dreams was "Demanding his wise men, magicians, astrologers, enchanters, sorcerers, Chaldeans, to see the same dreams he saw, and then come tell him exactly the dreams as he saw it, and then interprete them." — Failure to do so he would kill all of them. °2° The second of the harsher policies or harder demands Nebuchadnezzar made as a result of these dreams was "Demanding a statue like the one he saw in the dreams to be built; but unlike as it was in the dreams with different elements (gold, silver, bronze, iron, clay), Nebuchadnezzar demanded all the elements be gold because gold represented his kingdom in those dreams). And he commanded that all men must bow down to that image statue of gold as soon as they hear musical instruments." — Failure to do so the man shall be cast into a furnace of fire. Well, we may discuss those later. But you need to understand that the troubling dreams turned the dreamer (Nebuchadnezzar) into a troublous king to those under his realms. Almost every one there had their own share of the king's troubles he suffered of the dreams. However, I want to appreciate "Unusual Dreamers" in the Bible because they had ways of publicizing their dreams even though by so doing they created problems, troubles, demands or shakings. The reason they were "Unusual Dreamers" is because when they have such dreams, they do not hide them or keep silent, but cause agitations. You know them, don't you? Joseph was one of the unusual dreamers, not minding he was increasing the brethren's hatred and jealousy he still made agitations rise from the dreams he had. Pharaoh in Joseph's time was one of them, for his agitations troubled the entire senators of Egypt until one of them was convicted of his sin of not remembering Joseph. The Roman Governor's Wife, Pilate's wife, was one of them, for she shared her experience in dream because of Jesus Christ the innocent Man his husband was about to condemn; from that moment her husband became opposed to the people's idea of sentencing Jesus Christ to death. Etc. Wait, if sons and daughters shall prophesy, old men dream dreams and young men see visions, would those old men be brave enough to prophesy or share the dreams they dreamt when sharing them will cause trouble? For God's sake, if you dreamt or saw visions from God, be bold to share them and damn the agitations for or against. I salute the Prophets, Prophetesses and Seers, in Nigeria that have come out boldly to declare their visions pertaining the next President of Nigeria. Even so, let the Prophets, Prophetesses, and Seers, in all Nations arise and declare the Counsel of the Throne of God upon their Nations and States, whether the security agencies of those nations like it or not.
