Confronted by the king's decree to kill all the wise men in Babylon, Daniel and his friends asked the Lord to reveal to them the king's dream. After Daniel received the information in a vision he went to the king.
Daniel 2:25-30 (KJV)
25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
26
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
Arioch, the captain of the king's guard brought Daniel in haste to the king. What did Arioch tell the king (verse 25)? He told the king that one of the captives from Judah would be able to tell the king the interpretation of the dream that he had. What did the king ask Daniel, whose Babylonian name was Belteshazzar (verse 26)? The king asked if Daniel was able to tell him not only the interpretation of the dream, but the dream itself. What was Daniel's response (verse 27)? Daniel told the king that the secret information that he sought was beyond the capability of all the wise men, astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers. According to verse 28 who did know the secret information? Daniel told the king that there was a God in heaven that did know about the dream as well as the interpretation. Daniel then went on to tell the king that he would relate the information that he had received from God. What was the dream about (verse 29)? The king's dream was about things that would happen in the future. What else did Daniel say (verse 30)? Daniel again emphasizes that the secret information came from God. He also humbly stated that God had not given him the information because of any special wisdom that he had, but simply so that the king would understand what his dream meant.
What does this passage tell us about Daniel? Certainly, he was wise, but first and foremost, he was God's man. While Daniel could have arrogantly credited himself for being wise, he gave all the credit to God. He also spoke boldly about God without fearing the king's reaction. What do we learn about God from this passage? God is concerned about people. In this case he had given the king a dream that would reveal details about the future. As we will see next time, that information is relevant, not only for the king, but also for us in 2012.

Investors do not trust the PBOC banking leaders, as evidenced by the trade lower in Chinese Financials, CHIX, and they do not trust Mario Draghi either to sustain investment opportunities, as evidenced by the ongoing trade lower in the National Bank of Greece, NBG, and the European Financials, EUFN.
A new currency regime is coming out of the failure of credit both in China and in the Eurozone: it will be the regime of regional diktat money, something that is implicit in Daniel’s Statue of Empires, seen in bible prophecy of Daniel 2:25-45, where the two iron legs of global hegemonic power, these being the UK and the US, flow into the ten toes of iron diktat and clay totalitarian collectivism; these toes are the same reality seen in the governance of the ten horns, that is the ten world regions, and the totalitarian collectivism experience of mankind’s seven institutions, foretold in the Beast prophecy of Revelation 13:1-4.
Currency deflation is underway and it is going to be terrifically economically deflationary. Fiat money is failing; yes money is deflating in value. Currencies are the wheels that economies run on; their value comes from the coinage of sovereign authority. Now with the Benchmark Interest Rate, $TNX, rising, from 2.48% since October 28, 2013, destroying the value of money, sovereigns will be losing their shirts, and investors their skins, as the wheels of the world’s economies literally disintegrate causing the national economies to crash and burn.
New money will be coming from new sovereigns, that being regional sovereign economic leaders whose policies of diktat and schemes of debt servitude coin the new money, that being diktat money, and is defined as the word, will and way of regional leaders used to establish regional security, stability and sustainability.
