Prophecies of Daniel 2, Part 2
If we stop to consider the fact that what God reveals information – some through the dreams of Nebuchadnezzar, some via angelic messengers, and some through Daniel’s own visions and/or dreams – to Daniel and ultimately, to us and all of it has to do with the future. Some of it was related to Daniel’s near future. Some of it pointed to the far future, even after Daniel was gone. Some of it pointed all the way to the time of Jesus and His Second Coming. It wasn’t for Daniel that God revealed these things, though certainly some of it applied to Daniel during his lifetime. Ultimately, the things that God revealed to Daniel were for the benefit of Israel and the world, long after Daniel would pass from this earth and it all started with these troubling dreams that robbed Nebuchadnezzar of his sleep.

As Daniel continued, he explained that another empire would come after Babylon and Daniel described aspects of it, saying that although Babylon was represented by a lion with wings, the next empire to come along was represented by a bear that was lopsided. It turns out that the empire that followed Babylon in history was the Medo-Persian Empire.
