Daniel 2:22

"He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights God's sovereignty over time, history, and human governance. It indicates that God ordains the rise and fall of nations and kings, granting wisdom to those who seek it and knowledge to the discerning, emphasizing His control over both temporal and intellectual domains.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He revealeth the deep and secret things -Things which are too profound for man to fathom by his own power, and which are concealed or hidden until he makes them known. What is said here is an advance on what was affirmed in the previous verse, and relates to another kind of knowledge. “That” related to such knowledge as was not properly beyond the grasp of the human intellect when unaided in any supernatural manner, and affirmed that even then all discoveries and inventions are to be traced to God; “this” refers to a species of knowledge which lies beyond any natural compass of the human power
