Forasmuch asthou hast seen in thy dream this colossal image preternaturally destroyed (Daniel 2:34-35), a great God hathlet thee see behind the veil of the future, and made known to thee what will come to pass hereafter(cf. Genesis 41:28).

a great God the original is indefinite, not definite: Daniel speaks from the standpoint of the heathen king.

the dream is certain, &c. an asseveration of the truth of what has been stated, in the apocalyptic style: cf. Daniel 8:26; Daniel 10:1; Daniel 11:2; Revelation 21:5; Revelation 22:6.
