Daniel 2

Daniel 2:4:
Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it."

Sounds like a text book dream interpretation. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a dream interpreted by using some formula of interpretation that someone read from a book. It might be right, in a very long shot. But more than likely it is not. True dream interpretation does not come from a text book.

Daniel 2:21:
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

God decides who is allowed to be in charge of every nation. Humility before the great God is a vital key to spiritual success. Few have ever understood this principle better than the prophet Daniel. Further, it is an important key to unlocking the door to knowledge of God. Daniel himself said in praising the God of heaven: "He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding"

And he changeth the times and the season
Not only of day and night, summer and winter, and times and seasons of prosperity and adversity; but all the changes and revolutions in states and kingdoms, in all times and ages, are from him; and particularly those pointed at in the following dream, in the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and Roman monarchies:
he removeth kings, and setteth up kings;
he is King of kings, and Lord of lords; by him they reign, and continue on their thrones, as long as he pleases; and then he removes them by death or otherwise, and places others in their stead; and who are sometimes raised from a low estate; and this he does in the ordinary course of Providence; see ( Psalms 75:6 Psalms 75:7 ) and particularly Daniel might have in view the removal of the Babylonian monarchs, and setting up kings of the race of the Medes and Persians; and then the degrading them, and advancing the Grecians to the height of monarchy; and then reducing of them, and raising the Romans to a greater degree of power and authority; and at last crushing them all in their turns, to make way for the kingdom of his Son:
he giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
an increase of wisdom and knowledge, to wise politicians and counsellors of state, to form wise schemes of peace or war, to make wise laws, and govern kingdoms in a prudent manner; and to wise master builders or ministers of the word, to speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, to diffuse the knowledge of Christ everywhere, and make known the mysteries of grace to the sons of men; particularly to Daniel and his companions, who were wise and knowing men, the interpretation of the king's dream.
--John Gills Exposition of the Whole Bible

Daniel 2:22:
"He revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."

If Jesus, reading the thoughts of the dozen disciples priveleged to follow Him, found envy, hate jealousy, must not you openly and honestly admit that God often discovers little reverence but much bloated pride in your souls, few plans for serving Him earnestly but many projects of evil adventures?

Daniel 2:30:
But as 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 interpretations to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart

Daniel was not prideful about his insight.
