1. You are that tree! (19-23)

Daniel was greatly troubled because the dream was about God's judgment against the king. But he boldly declared the truth as God showed: "You are that tree! Your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth." He continued showing the Most High as the sovereign judge: "You will be driven away from people and will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven."

2. Renounce your sins (24-27)

But Daniel also revealed the mercy and love of the Holy God to those who repent saying, "Seven times will pass by until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes. When you acknowledge that heaven rules, your kingdom will be restored to you." Daniel gave a personal advice very politely but solemnly, "Therefore, your majesty, renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed. It may be then your prosperity will continue."
