Neville Goddard on Daniel 2:24-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

24Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

25Then 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.

26The 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?

27Daniel 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;

28But 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;

29As 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.

30But 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.

Daniel 2:24-30

Biblical Context

Daniel pleads to spare the wise men and asserts that the God in heaven reveals secrets. The interpretation comes to the king so that the king may know the thoughts of his heart.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel stands not as a show of ancient cunning but as the inner man who yields to the God in heaven within. The tale is not about Babylonian tricksters but about your own mind and the future it is shaping. When Arioch would destroy the wise men, Daniel speaks from a higher order of consciousness, declaring that the secret belongs to the God in heaven who reveals what shall be. The dream and its interpretation are inner movements of your consciousness, the bed thoughts you have entertained about what should come to pass. Daniel’s humility shows that the revelation does not arise from personal wisdom but from the Source we call I AM. The king represents your outward plan and appearance, while the heavenly revelation is the inward meaning that makes your inner state obvious in the world. To know the interpretation, you must relinquish reliance on outward cleverness and enter the inner chamber where God in heaven reveals the truth of your heart and its future. When you operate from that one Source, your choices and events align with the meaning your deeper self already knows.

Practice This Now

In stillness, assume the role of the inner interpreter who knows the thoughts of your heart. Affirm that there is a God in heaven within you who reveals the meaning of your life, then revise one current concern and feel the new interpretation as already true.
