Daniel 2:31
29 As you lay on your bed, O king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
30 And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
As you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.
32 The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,
33 its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
