REASONS GOD IS POURING REVELATIONS AND KNOWLEDGE OF SECRETS IN OUR DAYS
DANIEL 2:30
But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart. [NKJV] |
After Daniel unveiled the reason the dream came to the King in the preceding verse, Daniel here unveiled the reason the secret of the same dream came to Daniel in this Bible verse above.
*1* According to the preceding verse, "Why did the dream came to the king?" — The dream came to the king to answer the thoughts that came into his mind asking what shall be after.
*2* According to this Bible verse above, "Why did the secret (revelation and interpretation) came to Daniel?" — The secret came to Daniel, not because Daniel was the wisest man on earth then but rather, because Daniel was called/chosen to lead all the other wise men to fulfill their "Sakes + Purpose."
*3* There was a place for Wisdom to acquire secrets to the wise; and Daniel's Wisdom indeed earned him knowledge of many secrets.
[Ezekiel 28:3] — "Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you:"
But this secret was way above that which Daniel's Wisdom or the wisdom of any man else in the entire world could comprehend.
*4* It therefore means, the revelation of that secret needed something higher than Wisdom among men to come: What then is higher than Wisdom among men, that could bring the revelation of such deep mysteries or secrets of God?
*5* This what is greater than Wisdom among men, and could bring from God to men what wisdom of men could never bring: It is called "Purpose" (of God).
*6* According to this top Bible verse above, the Secret (Mystery or Knowledge) was not revealed to Daniel for any wisdom, but for collective purpose (sakes and task) of God to be accomplished.
*7* Have "Purpose" rather than "Possession," and build "Sake" rather than "Self." - Daniel received that grace on behalf (sakes) of the entire wise men, whom God would use to declare to the same king what was in king's heart thoughts.
*8* The king had the thoughts in his heart, and yet God wanted to declare the king's heart to him — Why is it even necessary for God to show a man his own heart? Why show me my heart that is within me?
*9* The judgment and conviction of God involves showing you your own heart, so that you can know what you have or had in your heart. I know Scientists say no man can physically and literally see his own heart or brain without reflection and still be alive. But God is in a business of showing everyman and everywoman his/her own heart. I tell you, many people are shocked when they see just a little of their heart in dream or vision, where they do things they never thought they could do.
[Jeremiah 17:9-10] — "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
There's a reason the Lord Jesus could die for men, but could not commit Himself to men: He Loved men, but He not trust men. He entrusted His broken Body and Shed Blood to men in Holy Communion, but when it came to entrusting His last Spirit before death He did not commit that His Spirit to men but into the Hand of God the Father He committed or commended His last Spirit, though He was dying for men and not dying for God. So why love men so much but trust them so little?
[John 2:24-25] — "But Jesus did not entrust (commit) Himself to them, for He knew all men. He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man."
*10* I too confess like Daniel that the much I know in Christ I did not receive because of any wisdom or righteousness I have, but for the collective sakes of our generations and times, to fulfill purpose of God among men in our days and age when Knowledge shall increase in all ramifications, including His Revelations.
