What Does Daniel 2:28 Mean?
Now comes the pivot of the whole scene: "But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets." Daniel names the true source and announces that this God is making known to Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Then he prepares to recount the dream itself.
This single sentence answers the Chaldeans' despair from earlier; they said the gods do not dwell with flesh, but Daniel proclaims a God who speaks to a pagan king. The Lord of heaven is not silent or distant; He reveals, He stoops, He makes Himself known. History's far horizon is open to His sight, and He graciously discloses it.
