  • Dan 2:36-45 : 36 This was the dream, and we will now tell the king its interpretation. 37 You, O king, are the king of kings, for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory. 38 He has placed into your hands control over every person, animal, and bird that dwells under the heavens. Wherever they live, He has given you sovereignty over them all. You are the head of gold. 39 After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours; then a third kingdom, made of bronze, which will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, for iron crushes and shatters everything. And just as iron breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all the others. 41 But as you saw the feet and toes made partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom. However, it will have some of the strength of iron, as you saw the iron mixed with the clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with clay, the people will mix but will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will stand forever. 45 This is because you saw a stone cut out from a mountain without human hands, and it crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God has made known to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is trustworthy.
  • Dan 4:19-33 : 19 you, O king, are that tree! You have grown great and strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your rule extends to the ends of the earth. 20 And you saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots bound with iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field. Let it be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let it live with the animals of the field until seven periods of time pass over it.’ 21 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High that has come upon my lord the king: 22 You will be driven away from people, and you will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass over you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to whomever He chooses. 23 The command to leave the stump with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules. 24 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: Break off your sins by pursuing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed. Perhaps there will be a lengthening of your prosperity. 25 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 26 At the end of twelve months, as he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 27 the king said, "Is not this the great Babylon which I have built as a royal residence by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?" 28 Even as the words were on the king's lips, a voice came from heaven: ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: The kingdom has departed from you!' 29 You will be driven away from people, and your dwelling will be with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle, and seven times will pass over you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to whomever He pleases. 30 Immediately, what was spoken about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people, ate grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. 31 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. I praised the Most High, honored, and glorified Him who lives forever: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation. 32 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?' 33 At the same time, my understanding returned to me. My honor and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and nobles sought me out, and I was reestablished in my kingdom, and even greater greatness was added to me.

    16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, 'I also had a dream. There were three baskets of white bread on my head.

    17In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.'

    18Joseph answered, 'This is its interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

    19Within three days, Pharaoh will lift up your head—off of you—and hang you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh from you.'

    20On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he held a feast for all his servants. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his servants.

    21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he again placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.

    22But he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.

    7He asked Pharaoh's officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, 'Why do you look so downcast today?'

    9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph. He said, 'In my dream, there was a vine in front of me.

    10And on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

    11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.'
