Tunc rex Danielem in sublime extulit, et munera multa et magna dedit ei : et constituit eum principem super omnes provincias Babylonis, et præfectum magistratuum super cunctos sapientes Babylonis.
Daniel 2:48
Apocalypsis Revelata # 913
913. Quod "aurum" significet bonum amoris, est quia metalla aeque ac omnia et singula quae apparent in mundo naturali, correspondent; aurum bono amoris, argentum veris sapientiae, cuprum seu aes bono charitatis, ac ferrum veris fidei, Inde est, quod haec metalla etiam sint in Mundo spirituali, quoniam omnia quae ibi apparent, sunt correspondentiae; correspondent enim affectionibus et inde cogitationibus angelorum, quae in se spiritualia sunt. Quod "aurum" ex correspondentia significet bonum amoris, constare potest ex his locis:
"Suadeo tibi emere a Me Aurum exploratum igne, ut ditatus sis," (Apocalypsis 3:18);
"Quomodo obscuratum est Aurum, mutatum est Obryzum Optimum; effusi sunt Lapides sanctitatis in capite omnium platearum: filii Zionis aestimati pares Auro puro," (Threni 4:1-2);
"Animas pauperum servabit, et dabit illis ex Auro Schebae," (Psalm. 72:13, 15); 1
"Pro aere adducam Aurum, et pro ferro argentum, et pro lignis aes, et pro lapidibus ferrum; et ponam censum tuum pacem, et exactores tuos justitiam," (Esaias 60:17);
"Ecce sapiens tu, ullum occultum non latuit te; in sapientia tua et in intelligentia tua fecisti tibi Aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis: in Eden horto fuisti; omnis lapis pretiosus tegumentum tuum, et Aurum," (Ezechiel 28:3-4, 13);
"Turma camelorum obtegent te, omnes e Scheba venient, Aurum et thus portabunt, et laudes Jehovae annuntiabunt," (Esaias 60:6, 9; Matthaeus, (2:11);
"Implebo Domum hanc gloria, Mihi Argentum et Mihi Aurum, magna erit gloria Domus hujus posterioris prae prioris," (Haggaeus 2:(7,) 8-9);
"Filiae Regum inter pretiosas tuas, constitit Regina ad dextram tuam in Auro optimo Ophiris, de implexis Auri vestis ejus," (Psalm. 45:10, 14 (B.A. 9, 13); Ezechiel 16:13);
"Accepisti vasa ornatus tui ex Auro Meo, et ex Argento Meo, quae dederam tibi, et fecisti tibi imagines masculi," (Ezechiel 16:17);
"Argentum Meum et Aurum Meum sumpsistis, et desiderabilia Mea bona intulistis in templa vestra," (Joel 4:5 (B.A. 3:5)).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo cum Belshazar cum magnatibus biberet vinum e vasis Auri eductis e Templo Hierosolymae, et simul laudaret deos Auri, argenti, aeris et ferri, scriptum est in pariete, et ille ea nocte occisus est, (Daniel 5:2, seq.).
(Praeter multis aliis in locis.)
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo Arca, in qua erat Lex, obducta erat Auro intra et extra, (Exodus 25:11);
Et ideo Propitiatorium et Cherubi super Arca erant ex puro Auro, (Exodus 25:(17,) 18);
Altare suffitus erat ex puro Auro, (Exodus 30:3);
Pariter Candelabrum cum lucernis, (Exodus 25:31, 38);
Et Mensa super qua panes facierum obducta fuit Auro, (Exodus 25:23-24).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, "argentum" Verum sapientiae, "aes" Bonum amoris naturalis qui amor vocatur charitas, et "ferrum" Verum fidei, ideo antiqui vocabant successiones temporum ab antiquissimis usque ad ultima, saecula aurea, argentea, aerea et ferrea. Similia significantur per statuam Nebuchadnezari in somnio visam,
Cujus caput erat Aurum bonum, pectus et brachia argentum, venter et femora aes, crura ferrum, pedes ex parte ferrum, ex parte argilla, (Daniel 2:32-33);
per haec significantur successivi status Ecclesiae in hoc mundo ab antiquissimis temporibus usque ad hodiernum. Status Ecclesiae hodiernus ita describitur:
"Quod vidisti ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti, commiscebunt se per semen hominis, sed non cohaerebunt unum cum altero, quemadmodum ferrum non commiscetur cum argilla," (Daniel 2:43);
per "ferrum" significatur Verum fidei, ut dictum est; sed cum non Verum fidei est, sed Fides absque vero, tunc est "ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti," quae non cohaerent: per "semen hominis," cum quo se illa commiscebunt, significatur Verum Verbi: hic status est Ecclesiae hodie. Quid postea futurum sit, describitur ibi paucis, vers. 45; sed pluribus, 7:13-18, 27.

Daniel 4
1
Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
2
I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
3
How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
4
I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
5
I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6
Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
7
Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
8
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,
9
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
10
Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
11
The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
12
The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
13
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
14
He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
15
Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
16
Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
18
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
19
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
20
The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
21
Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
22
It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
23
And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
24
This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
25
That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
26
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
27
Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
28
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
29
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
30
The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
31
While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
32
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
33
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
36
At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellers and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
37
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
