God Rules Kings:
The king has a dream and it threatens to destabilize his whole world and, subsequently, the entire kingdom. He is supposed to be the greatest of kings, with immense power and authority over everyone and everything in his kingdom (and indeed he is), yet a simple dream controls him. All the wise men of his kingdom, which amounts to the wisest men of the known world, are unable to provide answers and are under condemnation for their lack. There is not power on the earth able to overcome the dream. If kings with all their wealth and power and resources galore can not even control their own dreams, are made little and common by them, what does that tell us about our desperate need of the almighty God?
