2:25 亞略就急忙將但以理領到王面前，對王說：「我在被擄的猶大人中遇見一人，他能將夢的講解告訴王。」
2:26 王問稱為伯提沙撒的但以理說：「你能將我所做的夢和夢的講解告訴我嗎？」
2:27 但以理在王面前回答說：「王所問的那奧祕事，哲士、用法術的、術士、觀兆的都不能告訴王；
2:28 只有一位在天上的上帝能顯明奧祕的事。他已將日後必有的事指示尼布甲尼撒王。你的夢和你在床上腦中的異象是這樣：
2:29 王啊，你在床上想到後來的事，那顯明奧祕事的主把將來必有的事指示你。
2:30 至於那奧祕的事顯明給我，並非因我的智慧勝過一切活人，乃為使王知道夢的講解和心裡的思念。
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the
king in haste and said thus to him:"I have found among the exiles from
Judah a man who will make known to the king the interpretation." 26 The
king declared to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to
make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?" 27
Daniel answered the king and said, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or
astrologers can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, 28 but
there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King
Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of
your head as you lay in bed are these:29 To you, O king, as you lay in bed came
thoughts of what would be after this, and he who reveals mysteries made known
to you what is to be. 30 But as for me, this mystery has been revealed to me,
not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living, but in order
that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know
the thoughts of your mind.

但以理在此像尼布甲尼撒王解釋他夢中的異象前，讓他先知道上帝的作為，因為這事超乎人的能力，除非知道隱密事的上帝，才能使將來的奧秘是顯明出來，國王的夢是屬於奧秘的事。
也因為如此，人要明白與知道奧秘的事，就必須親近上帝，尋求上帝，更要敬畏上帝。因為上帝是大能者，他必將他的秘密交託在可以信賴的人身上，也就是祂所揀選的先知。
有許多人看見先知可以宣告上帝的話。十分稀奇，自己也想當先知。但是人要認識清楚，上帝的先知要的上帝的啟示，才能宣講上帝的話。然而今日，上帝的話就是聖經，我們要透過聖經來宣講上帝的話，人不可以再用奇特無據的話來宣講，因為這一切都必須透過聖經來查驗，正如先知的書，目的不是發預言，而是勸人歸向上帝！
