Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream & Daniel’s Visions (Daniel 2, 7, 10) QUESTIONS

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

READ Daniel 2:1-6

What is the “catch” for the magicians and wise men of Babylon in interpreting the King’s dream?

 

READ Daniel 2:9-11

What else has been bothering the king?

What is implied by the king’s logic – “if you can tell me the dream… I shall know that you can show me the interpretation”?

What is implied by the statement “the gods, whose dwelling is not with the flesh”?

 

READ 2 Nephi 28:3-6

What is one of the signs of a Church that has been corrupted?

Why do they teach the people to doubt miracles and “supernatural” occurrences?

 

READ Daniel 2:15-18

Why did Daniel need time to receive revelation?

 

READ Daniel 2:19, 23, 27-28

How did God reveal the dream and its interpretation to Daniel?

How was this different than what had happened to the King and why?

 

READ Daniel 2:31-35

Why would the Lord give this dream to a heathen king?

Why would the Lord not give the interpretation to the king?

 

READ Daniel 2:36-43

What does the image represent?

If the gold head represents Babylon, what kingdoms are represented by the silver, brass, iron and clay?

 

READ Daniel 2:44-45

What is the stone cut without hands?

What does “cut without hands” mean?

How does the Kingdom “break in pieces” the Kingdoms of the World so there was “nowhere found them”?

How can the truth destroy the kingdoms of this world?

What does the Kingdom “becoming a great mountain and filling the whole earth” mean?

 

READ Daniel 2:48

Can the King make Daniel a “great man”?

 

 

Daniel’s Visions

READ Daniel 7:13-16

What is Daniel’s reaction to seeing in vision a coronation ceremony of the Savior and Michael?

 

READ Daniel 10:4-12

Why is Daniel the only one to see the vision?

Are these experiences real if only one person can see them, while in a group?

 

READ Alma 30:15-16 and Moroni 7:29-30

How would you contrast how the teachings of the world (Korihor) and the teachings of The Lord (Mormon) would interpret  Daniel’s experience at the river?

Why are spiritual experiences like this anecdotal?
