他显明深奥隐秘的事，知道暗中所有的，光明也与他同居。（旦 2:22）

在旧约中，“奥秘”这个词并不常用。在旦以理书2章中，我们读到巴比伦的王尼布甲尼撒如何被梦境所烦扰。他开始受失眠的折磨，因此他要求了一件不可能完成的事情：他的哲士们必须告诉他梦境的内容，并讲解出来。

但这些哲士并不能告诉他梦的内容，更不用说讲解梦了。这使得王非常愤怒，他决定将他们全部处死。难道他们没有把王叫到一边，说一些王想听的话吗？然而，这也意味着，旦以理和他朋友们的性命也危在旦夕。

旦以理向耶和华祷告，使他能明白梦的内容和意义。随后，旦以理称颂了耶和华：“他显明深奥隐秘的事……”。于是，他将梦的内容和讲解告诉了王。王惊奇地说道：“你们的神诚然是万神之神……又是显明奥秘事的”（旦 2: 47）。

主耶和华希望世人知道，惟有祂知晓一切。通过如此行，神将旦以理和他的朋友们，从死亡的绝境中解救出来。这段历史是主耶稣基督伟大事工的预演，父神藉着子显明一切的事（路 10:21-22）。

我们的神是奥秘的启示者，被占卜师和星象师围绕的王也承认了这一事实。只有神能将隐藏之事显明于光中，他的启示并不难懂，他的工作已向高高在上的君王和孩童显现。当我们继续前行，我们会知道一切我们需要知道的，我们必须熟悉神的启示，才能行在正道上，不偏不倚。

思考问题：主耶和华为什么使尼布甲尼撒做梦？

Daniel 2
Song: Psalm 33:4，6

A REVEALER OF MYSTERIES

“He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.”（Daniel 2:22)

The word "mystery" is not used often in the Old Testament. In Daniel 2, we read how King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was troubled by dreams. He was starting to suffer from insomnia and therefore wanted something impossible: his wise men had to tell his dream and then interpret it.

But the wise men could not tell the dream, much less interpret it.This made the king so angry that he resolved to execute all of them. Had they not been stringing the king along, telling him things he wanted to hear? This meant, however, that the lives of Daniel and his friends were also in danger.

Daniel prayed to the LORD who gave him access to the dream and its meaning. Then Daniel praised the LORD: "He reveals deep and hidden things..." And he proceeded to tell the king his dream and its meaning. The king was amazed and said, "Surely your God is..a revealer of mysteries”（Dan 2:47).

The LORD wished to show the world that he alone knows all things. In doing so,he also delivered Daniel and his friends from certain death. This history is a foretaste of the great ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ through whom the Father would reveal all things (Luke 10:21-22).

Our God is a revealer of mysteries. A king who was surrounded by soothsayers and astronomers admitted this reality. God alone makes known what is hidden and brings it to the light, His revelation is not difficult. His work has been revealed to mighty kings and to little children. As we continue en route, we know all that we need to know. We must acquaint ourselves with his revelation so that we may stay on track and be properly focused.

Question: Why did the LORD cause Nebuchadnezzar to dream?
