Os sonhos s\u00e3o uma maneira que Allah usa para revelar Seus planos e profecias. Mas \u00e9 preciso estudo e ora\u00e7\u00e3o para saber interpret\u00e1-los. O profeta Daniel \u00e9 um exemplo disso. Ele recebeu vis\u00f5es e tamb\u00e9m interpretou sonhos sobre coisas que aconteceriam com seu povo, sobre reinos futuros e at\u00e9 mesmo sobre a vinda do Dia do Ju\u00edzo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One night, Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonian Empire, had a dream that disturbed him deeply, to the point that he could no longer sleep and even forgot the dream afterwards : “In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit dele was troubled, and his sleep left him.” – Daniel 2:1. However, he knew that it was an important message and he asked for the wise men and advisers of the royal court to reveal the dream and its meaning: “Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, “I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.” – Daniel 2:2-3. However, none of them could reveal the king’s dream, and the king, enraged, decided to kill all the wise men in the court of Babylon. However, among them was young Daniel, who was a faithful servant of Allah and had been taken captive to Babylon. The young prophet, after understanding what had happened, asked for time before the king to try to help him and free everyone from the death decree : “And Daniel went in and requested the king to appoint him a time that he might show the interpretation to the king.” – Daniel 2:16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel dedicated himself in prayer asking for the mercy and wisdom of Allah, and then one night the dream was revealed to him: “Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” – Daniel 2:19. He gave all honor to Allah, for he knew that it is only by Him and His Word that dreams can be interpreted. Then Daniel presented himself before King Nebuchadnezzar, and confidently revealed the mystery of the dream: “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.” – Daniel 2:31. When Daniel began to tell the dream to Nebuchadnezzar, he immediately remembered the dream he had had and forgot about it. Daniel continued and described the dream statue: “The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. “This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation of it.” – Daniel 2:32-36.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After describing the dream, he also told the king the meaning: “You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all\u2013you are the head of gold. Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these. And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.” – Daniel 2:37-45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nesta explica\u00e7\u00e3o, vemos que Daniel mostrou ao rei o que Allah havia revelado, para que ele soubesse que seu reino passaria e outro reino viria, inferior ao seu, e sucessivamente outros reinos representados por diferentes partes da est\u00e1tua. Os fatos da Hist\u00f3ria mostram que sessenta anos ap\u00f3s o sonho de Nabucodonosor, a Babil\u00f4nia caiu no poder do reino \u201cmedo-persa\u201d (539-331 aC). Depois o reino que sucedeu ao Imp\u00e9rio Medo-Persa foi o reino da Gr\u00e9cia (331-168 aC), depois veio o reino de Roma (168 aC a 476 dC) at\u00e9 que o Imp\u00e9rio Romano foi dividido em v\u00e1rias outras na\u00e7\u00f5es (argila e ferro, reinos da Europa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stone that was cut “by no human hand” and hit the feet of the statue, represents the return of Isa Al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) and the establishment of an Eternal Kingdom of peace and harmony. We can see that the historical facts confirm the revelation made by Daniel to King Nebuchadnezzar and this can give us hope and certainty regarding the plans of Allah and the fulfillment of the last part of the prophecy, which is the return of Isa Al-Masih (may His peace be about us).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
