What Does Daniel 2:46 Mean?
Overwhelmed, the mighty king falls on his face before a captive of Judah, worshiping Daniel and commanding that offerings and incense be presented to him. The most powerful man on earth prostrates himself before the messenger of heaven's truth.
The scene is striking, yet misdirected; the honor pouring toward Daniel truly belongs to God. The king has glimpsed something overwhelming and rightly senses he is in the presence of the divine, but he aims his awe at the wrong place. His next words, however, will move closer to the truth, as the revelation begins to turn his heart toward the God who gave it.
