There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries

Daniel 2:24-49
No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. 
The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.”  
Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men.  
The image represents four world empires, beginning in the present and stretching into the future. The two most widely held interpretations are:
  • Babylonian, Persian, Median and Roman; 
  • Babylonian, Persian, Median and Greek.
The first is a better fit with the historical situation and with the fact that Christ (the kingdom of God) comes in the Roman period.
The second view has the merit that the bulk of Daniel with the fact that Christ (the kingdom of God) comes in the Roman period7-12 refers to the Greek period.
Why?
God's wisdom is beyond than all wisdom of men. 
God's name be honored in foreign country, Babylon, the king Nebuchadnezzar honor the name of the Lord. God honors his name through Daniel.
Jesus Christ is come from the heaven, not made by human hand, comes from heaven which is the vision of rock comes from heaven.
Daniel got high position and many gifts from the Lord for he fear the Lord and follow the way of the Lord.
How:
Great is the Lord, God is worthy to worship. God's power over all on the earth。The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
