Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark begins to discuss how the Lord's Supper has been understood in the history of the church, focusing on what the early church father's said about it.    This episode of the Heidelcast is sponsored by the Heidelberg Reformation Association.

Dr Clark finishes the series, "The Comfort of the Covenant."

Hosea 7:1-161 And the injustice of Ephraim will be uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, because they worked falsely. And a thief will enter toward him, a robber stripping him on his way, 2  in order that they may sing together as singing in their heart. All their wickedness I remembered. Now their counsels have encircled them; they have come opposite my face. 3  By their wicked acts they cheered kings, and rulers with their lies. 4  All are committing adultery, like an oven being lit for the cooking of the burning from the flame from mixing of dough until it is leavened. 5  As for the days of your kings —the rulers began to be angry from wine; he stretched out his hand with plagues. 6  Because their hearts were lit up like an oven when they broke in pieces. Ephraim was sated the whole night of sleep. In the morning they were born, he was lit up like a light of fire. 7  All were warm like an oven, and they ate their judges. All their kings fell. There was not one among them who was calling to me. 8  Ephraim was mingling with his peoples. Ephraim was a cake baked in the ashes that was not turned over. 9  Foreigners ate his strength, but he has not learned. And gray hairs flourished for him, and he did not know it. 10  And the pride of Israel will be made low to his face, yet they did not return to the Lord, their God, and they did not seek him in all these things. 11  And Ephraim was like a silly pigeon, not having a heart. Egypt used to be called upon, and they went to Assyria. 12  Whenever they go, I will throw my net upon them. As the birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will rear them in the sound of their affliction. 13  Woe to them, because they have turned away from me. They are wretched, because they have acted impiously toward me. But I ransomed them, but they have spoken lies against me. 14  And their hearts did not cry to me; rather, they howled in their beds. They used to gash themselves for corn and wine. 15  They were taught by me, and I strengthened their arms, and they devised evils against me. 16  They turned back to nothing. They became like a bent bow. Their rulers will fall by the sword on account of a lack of control over their tongue. This will be the contempt of them in the land of Egypt.” Rick Brannan, Ken M. Penner et al., The Lexham English Septuagint, Second Edition (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2020), Ho 7.

Hosea 6:1-11A Confession of Trust6  “In their affliction they will rise up early toward me, saying, ‘Let us go and return to the Lord, our God, because he has snatched away, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will bandage us. 2  He will restore us to health after two days; on the third day we will rise and live before him, 3  and we will know; we will seek to know the Lord. Like the sure-to-come dawn we will find him, and he will come to us like the early and late rain comes to the earth.' ” Israel's Transgressions4  “What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your mercy is like an early morning cloud, and like an early dew that is going away. 5  On account of this, I cut off your prophets; I killed them with a word from my mouth, and my judgment will go out like light. 6  Because I want mercy rather than sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings. 7  But they are like a person breaking a treaty; there he despised me. 8  Gilead is a city doing vain things, stirring up water. 9  And your strength is that of a pirate man. Priests hid the way. They killed Shechem, because they did lawlessness. 10  In the house of Israel I saw a horrible thing. There was the fornication of Ephraim; Israel and Judah were defiled. 11  Begin to reap for yourself when I return the captives of my people,   when I heal Israel. Rick Brannan, Ken M. Penner et al., The Lexham English Septuagint, Second Edition (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2020), Ho 6:1–11

Hosea 5:1-15The Charge against the Princes1  “Hear these things, O priests, and pay attention, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, because judgment is against you, because you have become a trap for the watchtower, and like a net stretching out for Tabor, 2  which those who hunt the prey planted firmly. I am your teacher. 3  I knew Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me, because now Ephraim has committed fornication; Israel has been defiled. 4  They did not give their counsels to turn toward their God, because a spirit of fornication is in them, and they did not recognize the Lord. 5  And the pride of Israel will be humbled to his face, and Israel and Ephraim will fall sick by their injustices, and Judah will also fall sick with them. 6  With sheep and calves they will go to seek out the Lord, and they will not find him, because he has turned away from them, 7  because they forsook the Lord, because foreign children were fathered by them. Now the mildew will devour them and their inheritances. 8  Trumpet with a war trumpet upon the hills. Peal it out upon the high places. Make proclamation in the house of Beth-aven, Benjamin was amazed. 9  Ephraim came to destruction in the day of reproof. I showed reliable things among the tribes of Israel. 10  The rulers of Judah became like those who alter boundaries. Against them I will pour out my fury like water. 11  Ephraim has oppressed his opponent, he has trampled the judgment, because he began to follow the vain things. 12  And I am like trouble to Ephraim, and like a goad to the house of Judah. 13  And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his pain. And Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent ambassadors to King Jarim, and he was not able to heal you, and pain has not ceased from you. 14  Because I am like a panther to Ephraim, and like a lion to the house of Judah, and I will snatch them away, and I will go and take them, and there will be no one who rescues them. 15  I will go and return to my place until which time they are destroyed, and they will seek my face.” Rick Brannan, Ken M.

Ho 3:1–5The Restoration of Hosea's Marriage3 And the Lord said to me, “Go again, and love a woman who loves evil things and is an adulteress, just as God loves the sons of Israel, but they look down to foreign gods, and they love cakes with dried grapes.” 2 So I hired her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer of barley corns and a vessel of wine. 3 And I said to her, “You will sit with me for many days. And you will not prostitute yourself, nor become a man's. And I will be with you.” 4 Because the sons of Israel will remain for many days without having a king and without having a ruler, and without having a mode of sacrifice and without having an altar, or priesthood or manifestations. 5 And after these things, the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek after the Lord, their God, and David, their king, and they will be amazed at the Lord, and at his good things in the last days.Rick Brannan, Ken M. Penner et al., The Lexham English Septuagint, Second Edition (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2020), Ho 3:1–5.

Hosea 2:16-23God's Marriage to Israel16 “And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “she will call me ‘My Husband,' and she will no longer call me ‘Baal.' 17 And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and their names will not be remembered again. 18 And I will establish a treaty with them in that day, with the beasts of the field and with the birds of the heavens and the reptiles of the land, and I will crush bow and sword and battle from the land, and I will establish you in hope. 19 And I will betroth you to me for eternity, and I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in judgment and with mercy and with compassionate feelings. 20 And I will betroth you to me in trust, and you will recognize the Lord.” 21  “And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “I will listen to the heavens, and it will listen to the earth, 22  and the earth will listen to the grain and the wine and the olive oil, and they will listen to Jezreel, 23  and I will sow her for myself upon the land, and I will love her who was not loved, and I will say to Not My People, ‘You are My People,' and he will say, ‘You are the Lord, my God.' ” Rick Brannan, Ken M.

Ho 2:1–15.1 “Say to your brother, My People, and to your sister, Shown Mercy, 2  ‘Contend against your mother, contend! Because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. And I will remove her fornication from my face, and her adultery from the middle of her breasts, 3  in order that I might strip her naked and restore her just as on the day of her birth. And I will make her a wilderness, and I will appoint her like dry land, and I will kill her with thirst. 4  And I will not show mercy to her children, because they are children of fornication. 5  Because their mother committed fornication; she who bore them was disgracing herself. Because she said, “I will go after my lovers, who are giving me my bread and my water and my clothes and my linens and my olive oil and all things, as many as belong to me.” 6  On account of this, look, I will hedge her way with thorns, and I will wall up roads, and she will not find her path. 7  And she will closely pursue her lovers and not take hold of them. And she will seek them and not find them. And she will say, “I will go and return to my former husband, because it was well with me then rather than now.” 8  And she did not know that I gave her the grain and the wine and the olive oil, and I multiplied money for her, but she made silver and gold for Baal. 9  Because of this, I will return and gather in my grain at its time and my wine in its season, and I will remove my clothes and my linens, so that she might not cover her shame. 10  And now, I will uncover her impurity before her lovers, and no one will ever deliver her from out of my hand. 11  And I will turn away all her festivities, her holidays and her new moons and her Sabbaths and all her holy days. 12  And I will destroy her vineyard and her fig trees, about which she said, “These are my wages, which my lovers have given me.” And I will make them into a witness, and the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens and the reptiles of the earth will devour them. 13  And I will take vengeance upon her for the days of the Baals, on which she used to sacrifice to them, and put on her earrings and her necklaces, and go after her lovers, but forgot me,' says the Lord. 14  ‘Because of this, behold, I will mislead her, and I will make her like a wilderness, and I will speak to her heart. 15  And I will give her her plots of land from that place and the valley of Achor, to open her understanding. And she will be made low there like in the days of her childhood, and like in the days of her ascent out of the land of Egypt.' ” Rick Brannan, Ken M.

Hosea 1Hosea's Family1 A word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah and Jotham and Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel. 2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a woman of fornication and children of fornication, because the land in committing fornication will commit fornication from behind the Lord.” 3 And he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, because in a little while I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Judah, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 And it will be in that day, I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.” 6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And he said to him, “Call her name ‘Not Shown Mercy,' because I will no longer show mercy to the house of Israel, but in opposing, I will oppose them. 7 But I will have pity on the sons, and I will save them by the Lord, their God, and I will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.” 8 And she weaned Not Shown Mercy, and she conceived again and bore a son. 9 And He said, “Call his name ‘Not My People,' because you are not my people and I am not yours.” The Regathering of Israel10 And the number of the sons of Israel was like the sand of the sea, which will not be measured out nor counted. And it will be, in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” they will also be called, “sons of the living God.” 11 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will gather together, and they will establish for themselves one empire, and they will go up from the land, because the day of Jezreel will be great.”Rick Brannan, Ken M.

     Believers are called to engage in various mental activities that align our thoughts with God's will and deepen our spiritual lives. These activities are essential for spiritual growth, discernment, and maintaining a Christ-centered mindset. One key mental activity is the renewing of the mind, where we are instructed to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom 12:2). This involves rejecting worldly patterns of thought and embracing God's perspectives. Additionally, we are encouraged to meditate on Scripture, allowing it to permeate our minds and influence our words and actions. God's Word describes the righteous person, whose “delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psa 1:2). Here is a function of the mind, one that is in constant need of recalibration that adjusts to the perfect standard of God's Word.      Believers are also called to take every thought captive to obey Christ, ensuring that our mental life is disciplined and aligned with God's truth. Paul wrote, “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). This requires vigilance in guarding against thoughts that are contrary to God's will. God's Word reveals that spiritual warfare begins in the mind, and that the “speculations” and “every lofty thing” refer to human philosophies, false ideologies, and Satanic deceptions that challenge biblical truth. The discipline of “taking every thought captive” means actively using the mind, strengthened by Bible doctrine, to imprison false ideas that undermine divine viewpoint thinking. This verse highlights our responsibility to protect our mental framework from worldly thinking and to consistently apply doctrinal truth, making each thought obedient to the Word of God. The “obedience of Christ” signifies the application of Bible doctrine, bringing our thoughts into harmony with divine revelation as obedient-to-the-Word believers.      Furthermore, we are instructed to focus our minds on heavenly things rather than earthly concerns. Paul wrote, “Since you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth” (Col 3:1-2). This mental activity involves prioritizing eternal values over temporary, worldly matters. Paul wrote, “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things” (Phi 4:8). To “dwell on these things” means we intentionally focus our thoughts in a particular direction; namely, on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, of excellence, and worthy of praise. Peter tell Christians to “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Pet 5:7). This is a mental function of giving our concerns to God and letting Him deal with those things that are beyond our capability.      In addition, we are called to guard our hearts and minds. Solomon wrote, “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” (Prov 4:23). Other translations read: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Prov 4:23 NIV), and “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (Prov 4:23 NLT). The Hebrew concept of the heart (לֵב leb) is the total inner person; which includes the mind and will. It is the base of operations which determines the course of life. We are also commanded to maintain a mindset of joy, regardless of circumstances, as Paul wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” (Phil 4:4). Filling the mind with God's Word is another essential activity, as Paul said, “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you” (Col 3:16a). This means implanting Scripture so that it permeates all our thoughts. And we are encouraged to seek wisdom from God, asking Him to guide our thoughts and decisions. James wrote, “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (Jam 1:5). This involves a humble reliance on God for insight and understanding. Altogether, these mental activities are vital for spiritual maturity, helping us align our thoughts with God's truth, develop a Christ-centered mindset, and live out our faith in practical ways. Faith to Say      When God's Word controls our thinking, our speech will reveal it, “For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart” (Matt 12:34). Scripture emphasizes the power of words, both for good and for harm, as Solomon wrote, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Prov 18:21a). Sometimes God's people are to say nothing, for “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise” (Prov 10:19), and “Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is considered prudent” (Prov 17:28). Solomon said there is “a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Eccl 3:7b). Sometimes, this act of faith means refraining from speaking altogether, especially when emotions are high or when silence is more in line with godly wisdom (Jam 1:19).      The wise believer thinks before speaking, for “The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer” (Prov 15:28a). John Kitchen states, “The idea here is that a righteous man does not respond quickly to a question or a rebuff. Rather, he takes the comment or question in. He considers it. He weighs his answer. He responds from the strength of contemplation, rather than from the weakness of immediate emotion.”[1] In all situations, “The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition” (2 Tim 2:24-25a).      When it's time to speak, Scripture should guide our words so that we speak truthfully, lovingly, and wisely. When we are walking by faith, our speech will be governed by divine viewpoint rather than human viewpoint or flaring emotions. Paul wrote, “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear” (Eph 4:29). Here, the call to action is in our speech, ensuring that our words build others up and reflect God's love and truth. Thomas Constable said, “Christians should use words to build up people (‘for edification') rather than to tear them down. Words can give grace (help) in the sense that they can communicate encouragement and direction and thus enable the hearer to do right.”[2] Paul wrote, “Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person” (Col 4:6). Osborne notes, “In Colossians 4:6 Paul's reference is to a life that makes an impact on the world, to speech that draws people to God…Our discussions and even our small talk with ‘outsiders' ought to be carefully crafted to draw people to ourselves—and through us to the God who has saved us and wants to save them too.”[3] In this, Christians are to be “ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Pet 3:15). These are actions of speech that benefit others, and they are executed by faith and not feelings.      Encouraging speech is vital for uplifting others and promoting unity within the body of Christ (Heb 10:24-25). Additionally, grateful speech reflects a heart that recognizes God's blessings, as Paul wrote, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father” (Col 3:17). Paul also wrote, “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14) and “Be hospitable to one another without complaint” (1 Pet 4:9). Instead, by faith, we “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). The mind that is soaked with God's Word will manifest itself “with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God” (Col 3:16b). Dr. Steven R. Cook   [1] John A.

2 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. 2 So the king said to call the magicians and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the ⌊astrologers⌋ to tell to the king his dreams. And they came in and they stood ⌊before⌋ the king. 3 And the king said to them, “⌊I have had a dream⌋ and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.” 4 And the ⌊astrologers⌋ said to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your servants and we will reveal the explanation.” 5 The king answered and said to the ⌊astrologers⌋, “The command from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its explanation, then you will be broken into pieces and your houses will be laid in ruins. 6 But if you tell me the dream and its explanation, you will receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore, tell me the dream and its explanation.” 7 They answered once more and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants and we will make the explanation known.” 8 The king answered and said, “⌊Certainly⌋ I know that ⌊you are trying to gain time⌋ ⌊because⌋ you have seen ⌊that this matter is firmly decreed by me⌋, 9 for if you do not make the dream known to me, ⌊your verdict is fixed⌋, and you have conspired to say a lying and deceitful word to me until the ⌊circumstances⌋ will change. Therefore, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can tell me its explanation.” 10 The ⌊astrologers⌋ answered the king and said, “There is not a man on earth that is able to reveal the word of the king; ⌊in fact⌋, no great and powerful king has ever asked a thing like this of any magician or conjurer or ⌊astrologer⌋. 11 And the thing that the king is asking is too difficult and ⌊there is no one who⌋ can reveal it to the king except the gods ⌊whose dwelling is not with mortals⌋.” 12 Because of this the king became angry, and he became very much enraged, and he said that all the wise men of Babylon are to be destroyed. 13 And the decree was issued, and the wise men ⌊were on the verge of being executed⌋, and they searched for Daniel and his companions to be executed. 14 Then Daniel responded prudently and discretely to Arioch, the commander of the imperial guard of the king, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon. 15 ⌊He asked⌋ and said to Arioch, the royal official of the king, “⌊Why⌋ is the decree from the king so severe?” Then Arioch explained the matter to Daniel. 16 And Daniel went in and requested from the king that he would give him time, and ⌊he would tell the king⌋ the explanation. 17 Then Daniel went to his home, and he made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, his companions, 18 and told them to seek mercy ⌊from the God of heaven⌋ concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions, along with the remainder of the wise men of Babylon, would not be killed. 19 Then in a vision of the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel; then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel ⌊said⌋: “Let his name, the name of God, be blessed ⌊throughout the ages⌋, for the wisdom and the power ⌊are his⌋. 21 And he changes the times and the seasons, and he deposes kings and he sets up kings; he gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men who know understanding. 22 He reveals the deep and the hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. 23 To you, O God of my ancestors, I give thanks and I give praises, for the wisdom and the power you gave to me, and now you have made known to me what we have asked from you, for you have made known to us the matter of the king.” Daniel Praises God and Interprets the King's Dream24 ⌊Therefore⌋ Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and thus he said to him: “You must not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me in before the king and I will give the explanation to the king.” 25 Then Arioch ⌊quickly⌋ brought Daniel in before the king and thus he said to him: “I have found a man among ⌊the exiles⌋ of Judah who ⌊can relate⌋ the explanation to the king.” 26 ⌊The king then asked⌋ and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its explanation?” 27 Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king asks, no wise men, conjurers, magicians, or diviners are able to make known to the king. 28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what it is that will be at the end of days. This is your dream and the visions of your head on your bed. 29 “As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed ⌊turned to⌋ what it was that would be ⌊in the future⌋, and the revealer of mysteries has made known to you what that would be. 30 And as for me, it is not because of wisdom that is in me more than ⌊any other living person⌋ that this mystery is revealed to me, but ⌊in order that⌋ the explanation may be made known to the king and you will ⌊understand⌋ the thoughts of your ⌊mind⌋. 31 “You, O king, were looking and, look, there was one great statue. This statue was huge and its brilliance extraordinary, standing there before you, and its appearance was frightening. 32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron and part of them of clay. 34 You were looking on ⌊until⌋ a stone was chiseled out—that not by hands—and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold ⌊all at once⌋ broke into pieces and they became like chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away and any trace of them could not be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and it filled the whole earth. 36 “This was the dream, and now we will tell its interpretation to the king. 37 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, 38 and also ⌊human beings wherever they dwell⌋, the animals of the field and the birds of heaven—he has given into your hand and made you ruler over all of them—you are the head of gold. 39 And after you another kingdom inferior to yours will arise, and another third kingdom of bronze that will rule over the whole earth. 40 And a fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, and ⌊just as⌋ iron crushes and smashes ⌊everything⌋, and as iron shatters all of these other metals, so it will crush and it will shatter these nations. 41 ⌊And just as⌋ you saw the feet and the toes, ⌊partly potter's clay⌋ and ⌊partly iron⌋, it will be a divided kingdom; and ⌊some hardness⌋ of the iron will be in it, ⌊just as⌋ you have seen the iron mixed with the wet clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so part of the kingdom will be strong ⌊and partly brittle⌋. 43 And in that you saw the iron was mixed with wet clay, so ⌊they will mix in marriage⌋ and they will not cling ⌊to one another⌋, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 And ⌊in the day of those kings⌋, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will ⌊never⌋ be destroyed, and the kingdom will not be left for another nation, and it will bring an end to all these kingdoms, but it will stand ⌊forever⌋. 45 ⌊Inasmuch as⌋ you saw that a stone from the mountain was chiseled out but not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, thereby the great God made known to the king what will be ⌊in the future⌋, and the dream is certain and its explanation trustworthy.” The King's Response to Daniel and His God46 Then the king, Nebuchadnezzar, fell on his face and he paid homage to Daniel; and he commanded them to offer a grain offering and incense offering to him. 47 The king answered Daniel and said, “⌊Truly⌋ your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings, and he reveals mysteries, for you are able to reveal this mystery.” 48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and the chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. 49 And Daniel made a request from the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the court of the king.
