What Does Daniel 4:5 Mean?
Into this scene of comfort breaks a dream that terrifies him. The repeated emphasis on his bed and the visions of his head shows how the trouble reached him in the place he felt safest. Fear seized a man who feared nothing.
God can speak in the night when the proud will not listen by day. The peace of the palace could not silence the unease God placed in the king's heart. Sometimes the mercy of God comes first as a holy disturbance, a fear meant to wake us before it is too late.
