The Kingdom Da Will Last Forever
One night, King Nebuchadnezzar have one strange dream. It worry him bad way da he wor not able to sleep. He call all his magic men dem and tell them say: ‘Yor tell me the meaning for my dream.’ Then they tell him say: ‘O king, tell us wetin you dream about.’ But the king tell them say: ‘No! Yor tell me what I dream about, or else I will kill all of yor.’ Again they tell him say: ‘Tell us what you dream about, then we will tell you what it mean.’ He tell them say: ‘All of yor trying to fool me. Yor tell me what I dream about!’ Then they tell the king: ‘No human being able to do the thing you telling us to do. Because the thing you telling us to do not possible.’
Nebuchadnezzar wor too vex da he give order for them to kill all the wise men dem da in his Kingdom, including Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Daniel ask the king for some time. Then he and his friend dem pray to Jehovah and ask him to help them. Wetin Jehovah do?
Jehovah show Nebuchadnezzar dream to Daniel in one vision and give him the meaning. The next day, Daniel go to the king servant and say: ‘Don’t kill any of the wise men dem. I able to explain the meaning of the king dream.’ Then the servant carry Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel tell the king say: ‘God na show you the thing da will happen in the future. Yeh the thing you dream about: You see one big image and the head da wor gold, the chest and the arms da silver, the stomach and thighs da copper, the legs da iron, and the foot wor mix with iron and clay. Then one rock from the mountain hit the image on the foot. The image fall down and mash to dust and the breeze carry it. The rock turn to one big mountain, and fill the whole earth.’
Then Daniel say: ‘Yeh the meaning for your dream: The image head da wor made from gold da your kingdom. The part of the image da wor made from silver da the kingdom da will come after you. Then another kingdom will be like copper, and it will rule over the whole earth. The next kingdom will be strong like iron. Finally, the last kingdom will be divided. Some parts will be strong like iron and some parts will be weak like clay. The rock da turn to mountain da God Kingdom. It will destroy all the other kingdom dem and will last forever.’
Nebuchadnezzar fall down in front of Daniel with his face on the ground. Then he say: ‘Your God show the meaning for my dream to you. No other God like your God.’ Instead of Nebuchadnezzar killing Daniel, he made Daniel the head for all the wise men dem and ruler in Babylon. You see how Jehovah answer Daniel prayer?
